Today I want to take a little bit of time and focus on Hive itself the blockchain in which I am currently writing this article! Now in my time of being here on hive for what I think is now forever lol 7-8 years about there's been a lot of games that have come, gone but also stayed!
This article will be split up into sections to try and make more sense of it all. You'll have your old school games but also new releases this year and of course coming soon of which beta games I'm going to slate under this coming soon as well since they are out in the wilds but there's really not enough activity or substance there to really attract more players yet.
THE OG's
DCity Is like that OG city builder you always wanted. Build buildings, manage civs, pay taxes, go to war etc the game offers up a lot of passive income streams while stacking up your NFT cards.
Splinterlands This is the biggest game on hive and contributed to some of the largest bull runs here. The games had some struggles but it looks like it's come out on top and is ready to kick butt in 2025. With Lands release and constant updates for it and lots of other great features this up coming year is going to be packed with features and updates that are sure to get more involved and active.
DCrops Dcrops about a year ago had a major update to the game that added in things like crafting etc but the core base of the game is all about growing crops and selling them off. Start off as easy or as hard as you like.
Recently Released
GolemOverloads a rather straight forward game however there's been increasing amounts of development happening on it which has been opening up unique features. Pretty much harvest stacks of tokens, defend them and battle others for theirs.
TerraCore much like the above game this browser based game is even more simplistic but seems like there is more work being done on it. Build up and harvest.
Rise of the Pixels one of the more unique games on hive which is all about building and creating games with your development team and then releasing them. Provides a pretty cool nice twist on the standard browser style game.
Coming Soon
Holozing this one should be a rather solid game in terms of play style and level type systems many are use to if you've ever played the likes of pokemon/palworld. Coming some time mid to late 2025 is most likely the real release date but there will be a Alpha/Beta in there as well.
There's a few other honorable mentions but they still seem far away from amounting to anything. Those being... ArcadeColony, GLX, PEPE Game, RisingStar, Genesis League Sports.
If you know of other games not mentioned here that you feel deserve to be looked at by others please drop a link in the comments.
I'd love to see this part of hive blockchain thrive again as there's so much potential there to make gaming fun but also ways to build real assets with value.
