If you’re a fan of multiplayer games or going head-to-head to another player, MiniClip may be worth checking out. In addition to it being simple to play as a guest and match with other random online players, it was also easy to find party codes and invite friends.

You'll find a variety of games in categories including action, sports, puzzle, games for kids and more. You'll also find games you can download on the App Store and Google Play. The most popular games include 8-Ball Pool, Agar.io, Tanki Online and Empire.

You can create a free account to keep track of your high scores, get on the leaderboards and add friends, but you don’t have to: You can play most of the games online as a guest without having to sign in.

As I was playing games on MiniClip, a few popup advertisements popped up, but otherwise, the website wasn’t littered with ad banners. When I visited the online version of the website, I was able to choose whether I wanted to play free games instantly or browse the available app selection for the device I was using.

Pros:

• Mobile games available online and as apps

• Big selection of multiplayer games

Cons:

• Some pop-up advertisements
