    Afternoon! Any recommendations for PC games/apps (or existing lists) to download on our gaming laptop? For now, the laptop is just for librarians in our region who want to experiment with different games/applications that could lead to their planning of activities, classes, events, etc. We may get additional gaming laptops in the future if there is a demonstrated need. Ideally these would be titles we can download from their websites, or that can be played in-browser. Ideally educational as well, though that term can be pretty broad. Here is a list of what we have so far - not all of them are strictly gaming:

    Free:
     ~ ABC Mouse - Teacher Access
     ~ Coding Park
     ~ Kahoot! [but with paid options]
     ~ Minecraft Education / Teacher Academy
     ~ Roblox Studio
     ~ Sololearn

    Paid:
     ~ Factorio
     ~ Kerbal Space Program 2
     ~
    Planet Zoo
     ~
    Universe Sandbox
