I am looking for a computer games to play on my Window 10 laptop. I have played the early Harry Potter games. I am not sure what I am exactly looking for, not point and click ones. I think I would like to play a game with a story line in it.

Junes Journey, it’s a hidden object, memory game. It’s possible to play without spending any real money and is fun. It has a storyline and is fun. I’ve played it for several years and find it very relaxing.

I use Big Fish games. They aren't free, but some of them last for months. I like the finding games, as MissChateleine describes, but there are other kinds on there too. I like the Vacation Paradise series, where you get various different scenes from the country in the title (I'm currently doing France) and find things in a variety of modes. There are basic ones where you are told what to look for (eg a giraffe or a football) and others where you are given clues, or anagrams etc and have to find them using those. Many games have a storyline, although I prefer the straight 'hidden object' ones. You can get games for PC, Mac or tablets.

I'd like to know of some interesting games. At the moment I'm just playing Microsoft Freecell and various incarnations of Mah Jong.

There is virtual online chess if anyone is interested:

And virtual Monopoly (much faster than real life):

You could try Big Fish. The games are free for the first hour, which is more than long enough to see if you'll like them. If you don't, or if you don't want to pay to keep playing you can just choose another one.

I don’t really play games on my laptop because it makes me feel guilty about not working, but I like these.
Microsoft Jigsaws- the daily challenge ones, not big ones. Trapping the bug is my favourite.
The Microsoft card collection of 5 patience games-again the daily challenges and their word games.
I used to do lots of hidden object games like June’s journey on my iPad.

I find that they can help me to concentrate when I'm working. If I can feel my attention span getting shorter I play for around ten minutes (the games I play are timed and each attempt lasts 2 minutes or so) and it brings it back into focus, as I need to concentrate enough to find the things.

I like Fairyland on Facebook. You can play alone or with 'friends', unlike some of the games which you can't play on your own.
I got addicted to Pet Rescue, but it seems to have gone now.

When I need to chill, Art Heist Puzzles, Zen colouring and Sherlock, a hidden object game from G5.
