You can also play it on your phone 6 free games for your TV that don't require a controller
For a long time, the only way to play a video game was through a TV connected to a console. Then came portable consoles, but they were quickly overtaken by mobile gaming. This time we’re going back to the roots, showing you the 6 best games for Google TV without a console. They’ll let you experience the fun of gaming on your TV again, but now without having to own a console or spend a dime.
The games we're going to share with you below are available for free on the Google Play Store, but to be able to play them, you'll need to have the Google Home app, a Google TV remote, or a Bluetooth remote. It all depends on the game you want to play at that moment.
- Orbs
It's time to introduce you to a game that doesn't have the most complex gameplay, but makes up for it with its music, backgrounds and attractive graphics. We're talking about Orbia, a game where you give life to a special little creature that has to move through different environments in the best arcade style. The goal is simple, press the button at the right time to avoid being eliminated and reach the next point.
The further you progress in the game, the harder it becomes to get from one point to another, but that’s what makes this game so addictive. All you need to do is have your mobile phone and the Google Home app or Google TV remote to play Orbia.
- Badlands
Continuing with the simple games, we have the popular Badland, a survival game where survival is the most important thing. As with the other games on this list, the goal is to move forward and survive, the only difference is that here, traps, enemies and obstacles will come from everywhere. Your goal is to pass all the horizontal levels, using your skill, accuracy and some special powers.
Badland has over 100 levels, a multiplayer mode, and even a level creation mode that's worth checking out. The controls are simple, but to be completely safe, it's best to have a Bluetooth remote.
- Into the Dead
We have one of the best games you can find on Google Play Store for free. Into the Dead, a fast-paced action game where reflexes and skill are everything. This game consists of going through scenarios full of undead who are trying to kill you, so you must run, avoid them and if you have no other way out, kill the zombies in your way.
Into the dead has stunning graphics, a wide range of weapons, missions, and many other elements that make this game an intense and terrifying experience. The best way to play it, without a doubt, is with a good Bluetooth controller.
- Magic Rampage
We bring you a game that you may not have heard of before, but once you play it you can't put it down. Its name is Magic Rampage and it's basically a tribute to the old platform games from the 90s, but with an RPG twist that will make you want to develop your characters to the highest level.
Choose your class like Warrior, Mage, Paladin, Thief or whatever strikes your fancy the most and start upgrading your weapons, armor and more. This game is compatible with consoles and controllers and you can even connect two controllers to play locally with your teammates.
- Crossy Road
The fifth game on this list is the free game called Crossy Road, which is basically an answer to the age-old question of why did the chicken cross the road? In this case, the real question is how did the chicken manage to cross the path full of so many obstacles? Anyway, this game consists of multiple levels, in which the goal is to get to the other side of the road, without getting crushed.
It's basically the same dynamic as the classic Frogger game, the only difference is that the world is seen in higher quality here and Crossy Road allows you to use different characters. Some have special abilities that can give you certain benefits. The game can be played using the Google Home app controller, or simply using the TV control.
