Pokemon Go
Pokemon Go has been a big hit since it was released in 2016. It is a location-based augmented reality game based on the Pokemon franchise. In it, you find, catch and train Pokemon by walking around to real life locations and catching them with your phone.
You can catch new creatures by throwing balls at them or they can evolve into another creature if you keep them in your inventory for long enough. When you’ve got enough Pokestops nearby you can use items to give yourself an advantage over other players or even purchase rare Pokemon using real-world money.
Fortnite
Fortnite is a free-to-play, cross-platform multiplayer game developed by Epic Games and People Can Fly. It was released for Microsoft Windows, macOS, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in July 2017. A mobile version of the game called Fortnite: Battle Royale Mobile was released as an early access title for Android devices in March 2018 and as a full release version of the same title for iOS devices in May 2019. The game has over 200 million registered players worldwide on all platforms combined, with many people playing it every day.
In the battle royale mode of Fortnite, 100 players are dropped onto one large map with a constantly shrinking safe zone around them (see map below). Players have to collect materials such as wood or metal to build defensive structures like walls or floors that protect them from other players or attacks by monsters or creatures. Players can also use these materials to build temporary items like stairs that allow them to access areas they otherwise would not be able to reach through jumping alone; however building takes time so you should be careful when deciding where and what kind of structure should be built next.

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an action-adventure game played from a third-person perspective. It was released for the Nintendo Switch and Wii U consoles in 2017, and received critical acclaim.

To save Hyrule from destruction at its hands, Link must collect weapons and armor to protect himself from various enemies; explore various dungeons such as shrines; solve puzzles across dozens of landscapes full of monsters; and climb towers called “towers” around the world that act as fast travel points between one another.
