Played

Finding your way back to a game you actually liked shouldn't feel like a second job. You’ve been through the trenches of the internet, clicked a thousand thumbnails, and finally found a winner, only to lose it when your browser refreshed. This page is the "Played Games" graveyard, except everything here is still alive and ready for a second round. It’s the easiest way to jump back into the action without having to remember if that one platformer had a blue or green icon.

Stop Searching and Start Playing

The sheer volume of content on the web is exhausting. You don't have the energy to hunt down that specific cooking sim or that one puzzle game that actually challenged your brain. This section exists because your memory is probably fried from too many late night gaming sessions. If you played it here, it shows up here. No digging through history folders and no trying to describe a game to a search engine that doesn't understand what "the one with the cat and the lasers" means.

The Dress Up and Makeover Relapses

We’ve all been there. You tell yourself you’re done with the high fashion world, and then you see a character with a tragic haircut and you just have to fix it. Our dress up and makeover titles are addictive for a reason. They offer a specific kind of creative control that’s hard to find elsewhere.

• The Appeal: You get to be a stylist without the overhead or the annoying clients.

• The Variety: From cyberpunk aesthetics to classic royal gowns, the options are endless.

• The Return Factor: You likely have a specific style you prefer. Coming back to these games lets you refine your "vision" without starting from scratch.

Cooking and Time Management for the High Strung

Some people relax with ambient music; others relax by simulating a high-pressure kitchen environment. If you’ve spent time in our cooking or time management games, you know the drill. It’s about the rhythm of the clicks and the satisfaction of a clean workstation.

• Cooking Mechanics: You aren't just clicking ingredients. You’re timing the grill, prepping the sides, and making sure the digital customers don't walk out in a huff.

• Time Management Logic: These games are basically stress tests disguised as entertainment. If you played one recently, it’s probably because you’re trying to beat your previous high score or unlock that one kitchen upgrade that makes the coffee machine go faster.

• Fast Choice: If you’re short on time, these are the best picks for a five minute hit of productivity that doesn't involve your actual chores.

Puzzles That Still Have You Stuck

There is nothing more annoying than walking away from a puzzle because you couldn't figure out level 42, only to realize the solution while you’re trying to sleep. This category makes it easy to go back and prove you’re smarter than a collection of pixels.

• Logic and Physics: Whether it’s moving blocks or gravity-based challenges, these games stay saved so you can tackle them with a fresh perspective.

• Pattern Recognition: Sometimes your brain just needs a break. Returning to a familiar puzzle game is like putting on a pair of old shoes. It’s comfortable, and you already know the rules.

• Completionism: If you left a game at 90% completion, it’s going to haunt you. Find it here and finish the job.

Story and Roleplay for the Long Haul

Unlike a quick arcade game, story and roleplay titles require an actual time investment. You’ve probably started a narrative journey and had to go do something boring, like eat or work.

• Character Progress: Whether you’re leveling up a hero or building a virtual life, your progress is the most valuable thing you have.

• Branching Paths: Maybe you want to go back and see what happened if you chose the other dialogue option. This is the place to find those games and explore the "what ifs" without searching through a thousand other titles.

• Immersion: These games are the best way to disappear for a while. If a story hooked you once, it’ll probably hook you again.

Why Your Recently Played List is Your Best Friend

Life is full of distractions. You get a notification, the tab crashes, or you just get bored. Having a dedicated spot for your history means you never truly lose a game that caught your eye.

• No More Hunting: Your time is better spent playing than scrolling. This list is curated by your own past choices.

• Consistency: You know what you like. If you’ve played five different tower defense games, the sixth one you’re looking for is probably right here at the top.

• Efficiency: This page loads fast because it’s tailored to you. No fluff, just the games you’ve already vetted as worth your time.

Navigating the Archive Without Losing Your Mind

It can be overwhelming when you realize just how many games you’ve clicked on over the last week. The best way to use this page is to trust your first instinct. If a thumbnail looks familiar and you remember having a good time, just click it. Don't overthink the subgenres or the mechanics. You already did the hard work of testing these games out. Now you just get to enjoy the ones that made the cut.

FAQ: For Those Too Busy to Browse

Where did my favorite game go? If it’s not in this list, you might have cleared your browser cookies or changed devices. We try to keep track of your history, but if you’re playing on a new laptop, you’re starting with a clean slate.

Do I have to pay to get my progress back? No. Everything on Poki.com.es is free. If a game asks for money to "unlock" your old save, that’s not us. We keep things open and accessible for everyone.

Can I remove a game I hated from this list? Currently, the list shows what you’ve played in order. If you want to bury a bad game, the easiest way is to play five better ones. It’ll slide off the bottom of the recent list soon enough.

Will these games work on my tablet? If they worked when you first played them, they’ll work now. Most of our library is optimized for mobile and desktop, so you can switch between devices as long as you don't mind losing the local history on the other machine.

Why does the game look different than I remember? Developers update their games all the time. Sometimes they fix bugs, sometimes they add new levels, and sometimes they change the art. It’s the same game, just a slightly better version of it.
