Here’s a new selection of five more classic and easy PC games that anyone can enjoy. These titles offer light entertainment without complicated rules — perfect for a relaxing gaming session.
Genre: Puzzle/Strategy
Platform: PC (built into Windows systems)
Minesweeper is a classic that tests your logic and patience. The grid is filled with hidden mines, and your goal is to uncover all the safe squares without detonating any bombs. Numbers reveal how many mines are adjacent to each square, helping you deduce safe moves.
Although it seems like luck at first, skilled players quickly realize that strategy and pattern recognition are crucial. There’s no RTP system here, but Minesweeper perfectly rewards smart and careful decision-making.
Best Tip: Start at the corners and edges, and never guess unless you have no choice.

Mahjong Solitaire: Matching Made Zen
Genre: Puzzle Platform: PC, Web, Mobile
Mahjong Solitaire is a relaxing single-player matching game based on the traditional Chinese tile game. Players must find and remove pairs of matching tiles from a stacked board, following specific rules about tile accessibility.
The challenge grows as more tiles are removed, and the board becomes harder to solve. Mahjong trains memory and forward-planning skills, offering a peaceful gaming experience without pressure. Like in puzzle-based gaming, the "reward" is the satisfying feeling of clearing the board.
Strategy Tip: Focus on uncovering tiles that block the most others first.
Genre: Arcade
Platform: PC, Web
Arkanoid is a classic brick-breaking arcade game. You control a paddle at the bottom of the screen, bouncing a ball upward to smash colorful bricks. Some bricks drop bonuses, like paddle extensions, multi-balls, or lasers, helping you clear the board faster.
The gameplay is pure fun — easy to learn, but mastering ball angles and power-ups keeps things interesting. Arkanoid has influenced countless spin-offs, and it remains one of the simplest and most satisfying arcade games.
Pro Tip: Aim the ball at corners and cluster points for maximum brick destruction.

Plants vs. Zombies: Strategy Meets Humor
Genre: Strategy/Tower Defense Platform: PC (PopCap Games)
Plants vs. Zombies offers an easy entry into strategy gaming. You plant various types of plants, each with different abilities, to stop waves of hilarious cartoon zombies from reaching your house.
The game balances humor, creativity, and simple strategic thinking. Different plant types counter specific zombie types, and resource management (collecting sunlight) is critical for survival. While it’s fun and light-hearted, there’s surprising depth if you want to perfect your defenses.
Winning Tip: Invest early in sun-producing plants — they are the foundation of a strong defense.
