The internet is a miraculous invention. It brings everything this world has to offer right into our living rooms. Including the experience of being humiliated.

If you're into this sort of thing, all you need is a little bit of free time and a modern PC. Just download these free video games, and you too can get emasculated by kids who aren't even old enough to shave.

Counter Strike 2

One of the original Esports titles, this no-nonsense first-person shooter is one of the most competitive video games you can play. Its maps and guns haven't really changed in over a decade and it has an unforgiving damage and head-shot system. New players can find themselves dead before they even know what hit them.

Overwatch 2

With more than 30 unique heroes to choose from in 3 different combat classes, this game has a steep learning curve. When you add fast gameplay and team dynamics to that mix, you have a pretty potent cocktail. So much so, that there are YouTube videos dedicated to making fun of new players.

Valorant

With a set of unique characters and abilities, a tricky recoil system, and a complex in-game economy, it adds several extra layers of complexity to the standard team deathmatch. If you're in the mood to play high-speed chess while engaged in combat, this game might just be nerdy enough for you.

PUBG: Battlegrounds

PUBG is the main trailblazer of the battle royale genre. A massive map gets progressively smaller as you battle to the last man standing. Competition reaches an all-time high when only one can win.

Fortnite

While the art style of this game is a little more silly than PUBG, it's no less intense. They took all of the elements that make PUBG difficult and added architecture to the mix as well. If you've ever wanted to play with legos in the middle of a gunfight, this game is for you.

Apex Legends

This battle royale game features massive maps, complex movement, and extremely fast-paced combat. There's a ton of in-game knowledge required to not die immediately, given that most experienced players can bounce and fly around the map. If PUBG and Fortnite don't get your heart pumping enough, this might be your game.

Rocket League

Rocket League is a significant departure from most competitive video games. It's soccer but with rocket-powered race cars. It's as cool as it sounds, but it's highly competitive, with tons of players who take the game very seriously.

League of Legends

If you prefer strategy over mechanical skill, League of Legends is probably the game for you. But to succeed at this game, your brain will need to be running a mile a minute. There are over 140 characters to choose from with their own strengths and weaknesses. And if you don't use them in a way that compliments your teammates, you're sure to lose.
