LINE Play vs Neopets
LINE Play
LINE Play is a free to play, social virtual world game developed by the LINE Corp, the company behind the insanely-popular (mainly in the Asian regions) chat messaging app, LINE. Like other virtual world games, LINE Play allows you to interact with other players through the use of incredibly adorable characters which you can also customize and dress up to your liking. Players usually hang out in various lounges or virtual homes that they themselves decorate - you'll even get a virtual home to call your own too!Similar to its messaging app, LINE Play features a ton of entertaining and crazily-addictive casual games for you to enjoy. Rewards that you get from winning in these games will then be added to your personal collection.
In short, LINE Play builds on the success of LINE in many obvious ways, but ultimately, this game is a lot more fun to use mainly because it's actually a game and not just a chat app.
Neopets
Neopets is rather old yet entertaining simulation/virtual world game that lets you adopt and take care of magical and unique pets. This means that you'll be expected to build them a home, buy them food, clothes and other cool stuff. Set in a cartoonish and immense world, you can even set off on exciting adventures with your pet. Best part is that thepets in this game can grow alongside you and they have different looks for different stages of growth, much like the Pokemon in a Pokemon game. There are plenty of fun mini-games to keep you engaged for hours on end as well.
Although the game is a bit on the old side (being released in 1997 and all), the game still holds its charm for players who want a game that's a combination of a usual pet simulation/collection game with a virtual world game. It's free to play and you can play it directly from your browser!
