• Hearthstone

A strategy card game released way back in 2014, Hearthstone is still one of Blizzard’s best card games and PVP games out there. There are three modes for you to jump into – Hearthstone, Battlegrounds and Mercenaries. Naturally, Hearthstone is the most popular one. You’ll be thrown into a 1v1 battle and whoever gets to completely drain the other’s health pool first, wins.

The path to winning varies, as it depends on the cards you are dealt. This makes it an engaging and exciting game to play for all. You can attempt to strategise and plan, but ultimately, it does fall back on your quick wit and critical thinking at the moment. 

• Dead By Daylight

A game where you either get to play as a murderous killer or as a survivor trying to escape the murderous killer. Each character and killer has their own special abilities and skills to help their odds of succeeding in their kills or escape.

Dead by Daylight remains one of the best PvP games with their continuous updates and additions to the game. With every season and update, you get a set of buffs and nerfs, along with some new characters to play. You can either play with your friends or with strangers, but friends are definitely more manageable if you’re playing as Survivors.

• Tekken 7

The whole point of the Tekken franchise is PvP play where you either go up against ransoms or your own set of friends. If you’re looking for a Tekken game to play, Tekken 7 is what we would recommend as the best of the franchise. It is one of the most streamed and beloved titles.

Button mashing would get you somewhere, but if you’re up against pros or people who have some knowledge of Tekken, you’re definitely going to be an easy defeat. As such, Tekken can be a challenge to those who enjoy fighting games – with its huge character roster set with their own special moves and hidden abilities.

• League of Legends

Looking for a game for a larger group of five? League of Legends is a great starting point for you. It is a buzzing title in the eSports scene, and with good reason. This is a technical game that is highly challenging to master. Mastering the game would bring immense satisfaction to players.

Additionally, each of its characters has their own background stories, the lore of League of Legends does run deep. Since most of the time players will be investing a lot of time in building and familiarising themselves with one character, you’ll definitely find yourself attached. LoL is a 5v5 game where the goal is to completely dominate the opponent’s side of the map while protecting your own.

• Street Fighter 5

Similar to Tekken 7, this is another renowned fighting game with a wide roster of characters. Chances are, if you enjoyed Tekken and fighting games, this is one you’re going to have the most fun with.

You can randomise fights with the computer AI, fight with random people online or fight with your friends. Battles are as technical as they are intense, with a wide range of fun moves and combinations to spice things up. If you’re interested, the characters have their own lore and backgrounds for you to delve into as well.

• Teamfight Tactics

Also known as TFT, is one of the more intuitive PvP games on this list. This makes it one of the easier games for beginners to get into and experience a wonderful time with their friends or randoms online. TFT is an auto battler where you get to collect items and characters as you progress through more battles.

The title keeps things fresh, giving its players new updates and characters consistently. You won’t have to worry about a certain move or character dominating the scene for too long, as an update or a patch will come along and change things up.

• Call of Duty: Warzone

One of the more famous and easy-to-venture titles on this list, we have Call of Duty: Warzone. If you’re thinking of playing on mobile, you could give Call of Duty Mobile a shot. Anyway, COD is a free-to-play battle royale. This means that you play against up to 100 people on a map as the safety bubble keeps shrinking.

Warzone is one of the original battle royales that lives up to the hype of it all with its numerous maps, weapons and game modes. There is a connecting storyline between this title and the other games in the franchise, but Warzone is one of the more recent and beloved addition. 

• Super Smash Bros.

This one is for those looking for something more on the casual side of things. Super Smash Bros allows you to pick from a roster of Nintendo characters and use their abilities in an arena of several other players. It’s ridiculously fun to watch as your favourite characters go up against each other in the most unlikely pairings.

Don’t be fooled, things can get intense with Super Smash Bros. It has been known to ruin friendships, and there’s even a competitive scene for the title. Either way, if you’re looking for casual or serious fun, you can’t really go wrong with Super Smash Bros.

• Dota 2

Another title that cements its name in the PvP Hall of Fame, we have Dota 2. This is an online battle arena where multiple players gather and go up against each other in teams of five. There’s a wide character roster to pick from with powerful abilities and useful skills. There are some mechanics unique to Dota 2 that makes it stand out from the rest.

The title employs a day and night cycle, with some teleportation abilities. And since the game has been around for a while, there are all sorts of guides available for you to familiarize yourself with the characters.

• Counter Strike: Global Offensive

Counter Strike is one of the older franchises on this list. They have been producing stellar first-person shooting games since 1999, and CS:GO is one of the best titles they have. One of the reasons why this title is still relevant to this day is its adaptability. The game has frequent updates and good gameplay mechanics.

In order to succeed in CS:GO, you would need a decent amount of communication between your team members, aside from the typical technical skills needed. Strategising your routes and planning where to go helps greatly as you traverse the various maps that the game has to offer.
