Due to the increase in the number of Covid-19 cases in Nepal, everyone has been locked inside their home again.
But, staying idle all the time can surely be boring. Going through old series and movies again also cannot be as exciting as it was the first time. However, if you have a smartphone, you can surely enjoy yourself by playing online games.
There are thousands of online games for your mobile, but today, we have shortlisted the eight best online games that you can enjoy during this lockdown.

PUBG Mobile needs no introduction as most of you are already familiar with it. This is probably the most played mobile game in the country. Many have even made their living from this game by broadcasting live and making YouTube channels playing the game.
For those of you who do not know, PUBG is a battle royale mobile game that 100 players can play together as a team or as an individual on one of the many maps available in the game. Here, each player is required to collect arms and ammunition to eliminate the enemies as well as collect survival supplies in case they get attacked by the enemies. The map will shrink as the game goes on and the players have to make sure that they are inside the safe circle. The team or an individual that manages to defeat the last surviving enemy will be the winner of the game and hence will receive the chicken dinner. The gameplay, graphics are all top-notch, so if you have not tried it yet, you probably should. Other notable similar games are PUBG Lite, Free Fire, and Call of Duty.
2. PES Mobile
Developed by Konami, Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) is probably the best football game for mobile gaming. The FIFA fanboys may have their say, but the gameplay and graphics of this game are second to none in mobile gaming platforms.
You can enjoy a variety of gameplay options in this game. You can play a regular match against a computer or play online with other players globally. You can also add your friends and play the game against each other in real-time. Various events occurring in the game makes the game even more exciting. The player can also get the chance to make an iconic team of legends if they get lucky through various events. The game is very user-friendly, and after playing a match or two, one easily knows about the controls. PES is the closest game to provide a real football experience on mobile gaming platforms. You will only know how good it is after you try it.
3. Asphalt
Asphalt is a racing game developed by Gameloft. It is undoubtedly the most famous racing game on a mobile platform. The graphics and gameplay of this game are surreal. The player can have access to 123 cars that also include Buggati, Ferrari and Lamborghini to name a few. But, to have access to all those cars, the players have to progress different classes of the game.
Each of the cars also belongs to a class progressively featuring higher performance and rarity. The player starts with a car in the lowest class (Class D) and if they play well, they will progress to classes C, B, A and S respectively. There are three playing modes: career, multiplayer and events. In each career mode, the player completes single-player chapters each of which consists of several series of races focusing on a certain car class or manufacturer. In Multiplayer, the player competes against other online players in real-time. In Events, the player participates in a daily or weekly competition to beat other players’ times or earn other items.
4. 8 ball Pool

Upon collecting the reward points and specific coupons, you can get the best players that can help your team to win the games and increase your overall performance.
You can also compete against other global players at various events and against your friends as well. The only downside of this game is you cannot play against your opponent in real-time.
