Web games, also known as browser games, are games played over the web. Not to be confused with Freeware Games, which are distributed for free and act like regular computer programs. Web games are played directly through the web browser, often (but not always) with the help of a plugin. These games usually are made in Adobe Flash, Unity, or HTML5.
Keep in mind that with Adobe Flash's EOL
making Flash unable to run on most browsers, you will need something else to play the games made with Adobe Flash, such as Flashpoint or Ruffle.
