Kongregate review

Kongregate suits players who like progression systems. Its homepage says it offers thousands of games across genres, from shooters to role-playing adventures, strategy, arcade and puzzles, with new titles added weekly. The site's signature feature is badges and player achievements, including a daily badge on a featured game, which gives a reason to try something new. Kongregate also presents itself as a hub for indie developers, featuring games you will not find elsewhere, and each game shows its rating and play count. On a phone you can add Kongregate to the home screen as a web app. The library size is only described as thousands, a number of older titles feel dated, and the catalog is less tuned for phones than Poki, so it lands in the lower half of the ranking. We compared documented features on Kongregate's own pages.
