Have a good day! Today is December 15th, which means the craziest year for cryptogaming is coming to an end. but not the most recent crazy year, and indeed it would be high time to prepare gifts. But that's not all! December 15 is also a birthday channel. 4 years damn it!
Therefore, I make a small customization in the form of a selection of high-quality projects. Some are already playable, and some will release early accesses or test versions of their projects in 2022 or later. High potential projects. Those locomotives that can give impetus to the industry as a whole and that others will be guided by.

Star atlas
Of course, Star Atlas is the largest cryptogaming project, and it was the first to use the Unreal Engine 5, thanks to which you can create a new generation of games that are not inferior in graphics to PS5 games. The use of the engine is not the only distinguishing feature. The development team managed to partner with Sperasoft... Gamedev people understand how high this level is. Sperasoft Is a co-development outsourcing company that has helped or implemented many successful AAA next-gen titles. Assassins Creed, Call of Duty, Halo, The Rainbow Six. In addition, Sperasoft collaborates with all well-known top studios, including CCP Games, who made EVE Online. Star Atlas, in turn, is an attempt to rethink EVE Online, or you can also call it "the killer of EVE Online" There are many similarities in the economic component, not only in the setting and visuals. The project will be released on the Solana blockchain and is supported by one of the leading crypto exchanges FTX.

Blank block party
Blankos Block Party is a vibrant open-world multiplayer game styled after a giant block party with a focus on customization and design, crafting and exploration, and collectibility. A close analogue of Roblox, but superior in visual design. One of the most anticipated CGP projects. Many genres are intertwined in this project. In general, it still looks more like a sandbox, like The Sandbox, but with more attractive graphics and a street culture-style setting. Graffiti, sneakers, tattoos, music. The styling is great, and the blancos themselves are created in collaboration with the best designers and artists of our time. Blankos is a project led by Mythical Games. Mythical Games was founded by industry veterans from Activision studio John Linden and CCO Jamie Jackson, as well as Rudy Koch (Blizzard) and CPO Stefan Cunningham (Yahoo!). Powerful project. Blizzard knows how to do cool, think through the lore and design to the smallest detail. In addition, Rudy Koch stood at the very early stages of cryptogaming. The trendsetter of this industry. Over several series of investment rounds, Mythical Games managed to raise more than $ 260 million and is considered a unicorn with an estimate of $ 1,25 billion. Large brands such as Burberry collaborate with them, which made drops right in the game of their new collection, which is offline. The game will use the eosio protocol to create its own blockchain with an EVM bridge, which will allow it to play on almost any blockchain. This means that the game will most likely not have manual signing of transactions, a special standard for NFT tokens will be created and no gas fees will be required. In addition, the developers managed to hide the blockchain so much that it is not visible at all when playing. The project is clearly massive with a potential for tens of millions of players, like The Sandbox, Minecraft, Roblox and others.

Ember sword
Ember Sword is a stylish, high quality animation, open world Free to Play MMORPG with big ambitions and high land sales. They have been sawing the game for several years now and are waiting for the right moment to enter the market. The game offers great opportunities for creating game scenarios. The main features of the project that distinguish it from others:
- Lots of game content to interact with. As in the classic games of this genre. Only with the ability to monetize your time and own land.
- Ember sword is trying to get away from pay-to-win by adding play-to-earn and transferring content management to the community, including the aftermarket for cosmetics.
They are going to go away from pay-to-win due to the fact that the cosmetics sold will not give advantages to the player. Really useful things can only be grind that equalizes the players in opportunities.

rain
Illuvium - This game was called the most anticipated project of 2021, but it is clear that such a project could not come out in 2021. A project using the Unreal Engine 4. which is still used in modern games. The game is not next-gen, but it can be considered such for the crypto space and captivates with the fact that such a level of graphics has never been seen in crypto games. An open world RPG game genre. There is a chance to hyip due to the fact that it will be released earlier than Star Atlas. But the level of Star Atlas is still sooooo far away. Illuvium is more of a "that could" division of crypto games. Star Atlas is more of a blockbuster movie that will power the blockchain and the economy. A large team of professional developers, while the founders have never been involved in game development, but their concept interested many investors, and they were able to gather experts to implement the project. If you collect all the information available, then the project does not cause wild delight, as most bloggers and marketers try to imagine it. Yes, better than most, but when compared to Star Atlas, it's not even close, besides, there is a strange partnership with a very dubious project Warena ...

Aurora
Aurory - Another Solana project with cool styling and animation.
Stylized answer to Axie Infinity and Illuvium in the JRPG genre. Sam is betting on expanding the ecosystem with a large number of games focused on real-time gameplay and sophisticated graphics.
Big Time
Big Time is a multiplayer action RPG. project from co-founder Decentraland. A game in which you unite in one team and together with friends go on adventures in time and space. This already says a lot. With good graphics and a good team. The studio raised $ 10,3 million during the Serie A investment round. Co-founder of Decentraland Ari Meilich + a strong team from traditional gaming.
What's confusing about the project? Collaboration with Binance NFT and very strange sales mechanics with verification by the most treacherous notorious methods, which, well, quite contrast with the spirit of the crypto movement. At least with the spirit that was at dawn. Moreover, this is Ari Meilikh ... Well, your uncle turned it back ... There are at least a minimum of questions for another. We will see, perhaps by mid-2022 and will fly out of this collection.
Hash Rush
Hash Rush is a Strategy Game (RTS) originally developed by VZ Games. In development since July 2017. Received several Gamescom Innovation Awards. It can be considered a long-term construction project with a difficult fate. the customer, the mining company, laid the budget for the game based on the price of $ 300, but you yourself know what events followed. The game has a lot of content, art and a well-developed world compared to other crypto games. The developers were very scrupulous about their brainchild. The launch of the beta version has already been postponed several times due to problems with sales and funding. But the project is still promising. Because there have never been any strategies so beautiful visually, in terms of art, well thought out lore and written characters in crypto games. If the game came out in 2019, as planned, then it could become one of the most popular crypto games. We hope for an early release and for the implementation of all our plans. But now large investors and guilds have appeared in the project. for instance Merit circle.

skyweaver

Nine Chronicles
Nine Chronicles is not your standard MMORPG from Korean developers. The project was incubated by Ubisoft. First of all, it is COMPLETELY decentralized. Totally means completely and without compromise. A unique case. The client runs as a bitcoin core wallet. It is necessary to synchronize with the blocks for further play. Uses its own blockchain Libplanet, reminiscent of the Ethereum modification, only with faster blocks and free ones. Ideal for the Unity engine, because it does not require manual transaction signatures, which means that in the gameplay you will not notice the blockchain and the constant requests of the metamask to approve something there. Now there are problems with the launcher and some bugs. But the game is in development and is undergoing testing with all the resulting updates, there is hope that the bugs will be fixed. Seasons are periodically launched with the distribution of $ 1- $ 2 million in prize money for 1-1,5 months of the game. The game takes a community-driven approach. Players can submit their proposals for changing the game (IMPROVEMENT PROPOSALS as in Ethereum). The game is completely open-source, which allows third-party developers to create mods for the game or even create another similar game. At the moment, one of the most interesting MMORPGs on the blockchain, and it is difficult to count such on the blockchain on the fingers of one hand.
- Not a standard, but true blockchain approach
- A good set of game mechanics and opportunities for earning through the arena system, crafting and trading in weapons and seasons.
- You can make money on the development of the game itself. Content creation, suggestions for improvement, and more. Almost like
