About Game Jolt and UptoPlay for gaming on Linux
What is Game Jolt?
Our first recommendation today is for the website Jolt's game. As, and just like Yandex Games, it includes a huge collection of online video games, in various categories (action, horror, adventure, fangame, rpg, multiplayer, retro shooter, and many others). In addition, it includes useful filters that allow us to specify whether we want to see and try only free or paid games (various cost levels), or if we want only See and try those available for Windows, Linux, macOS, Game Consoles (ROMs) and more.
As well, allows you to filter them by the technology used (Flash, HTML5 and Unity), for its maturity range (recommended age to play), and its development status (Stable, Early Access Testing and in Development). And we really liked it, because offers a Launcher (Desktop Application in AppImage format) for Linux and also an application for Windows. In addition, it is available as a mobile gamer app for Android and iOS. However, it must be acknowledged that its website does not offer support in Spanish and its games are not of high graphic quality, nor are they complex (robust) or high level.
What is UptoPlay?
Our second recommendation today is for the website UptoPlay. And we have chosen it because, unlike many others, its game catalog is better known because it basically works as an online Android emulator that allows the user to log in with their Gmail account and install the desired game on said virtual mobile device.
For this reason, and as its developers express, UptoPlay lets you enjoy the latest and greatest free online mobile video games, since it allows you to play the most popular video games on desktop mobile devices (Virtual on a web browser). And since, Its platform is integrated with Android Market stores, this facilitates the transfer of each user's Android games to its online platform instantly. However, it should be recognized that its website offers support in Spanish and operates in association with other slightly more recognized websites such as MegaDisk, OnWorks, Offidocs, Offilive and RedcoolMedia.
Extra and last minute recommendation: JuegosArea
Finally and to conclude, our recommendation extra and last minute is the website GamesArea. And we have chosen it because its game catalog, besides being huge, includes many games with very good graphic quality and very similar to others already known by everyone in the gaming field. Which makes it very similar to YandexGames, in terms of the enormous size of its catalogue and the good graphic quality of its games.
And we really liked it because, Its graphical interface is entirely in Spanish. Although, it also has associated websites in English and Portuguese. However, we miss that So far it does not offer Desktop Launchers for Linux, Windows and macOS, and it also does not include mobile apps for Android and iOS.
Summary
In short, we hope that these 2 new gaming websites mentioned above that are also compatible with Linux and are called «Game Jolt and UptoPlay», in addition to JuegosArea, join others already mentioned/recommended by us.
