Right now there are huge lists of them where you have a choice on whether you buy tokens on their early pre-sales or invest in the game hoping that you will get your ROI as fast as possible but there is no assurance about it. Is this gamble its true sense it has just some part where you need to take the risk but not that low odds where you can get your capital back?
Just like this one - Where the Initial investment is 10$ but if you are lucky enough you can get it after 15 days or a month of continue playing. Of course, you will have an option to further invest in the game where you accelerate the return of your capital but more risk and you need to spend additional money for it.

Number two is somewhat risky where right now you need to have 4 characters and a weapon to start to play the game which is approximately $100 to start to play and the risk right now is quite high because the price of their token is falling from $120+ to $32+ where lots of people are complaining because they bought their characters and weapons when the price was high. With the current price, their investment capital will return after 5-6 months of continue playing or less than that if the price will recover but no assurance.
Number Three is the NFT game called MyDefipet where in most cases people invested where the price was quite high and the game hasn't started their play to earn mode yet. This last one is the riskiest of them all since there was no way for you to get your capital back if you already bought their NFTs inside the game. all you have to do is wait and somehow trust their developer's statements.
These are just a few lists of the NFT games that I know, I just wanted to know if this kinda makes sense to invest in this game whereas you can see, people who invested late are now suffering and
can't stop thinking if they get back their investment.
I also looked into those play-to-earn games recently because i am a pc gamer myself and if there are good games out there where you can earn some money while you doing something that you enjoy then of course this would be an absolute dream scenario for me. Most of those "games" though are no real games as they don't really have much features yet and the features that they have are very simplistic. What you although need to consider is that you already have to invest a high amount of money only that you can start to play those games in most cases. Just take a look at axies infinity which is the biggest and most successful play-to-earn game. You need to own at minimum 3 axies just to be able to start playing the game. At the moment 1 axie costs at least 300$ whcih means you need to invest 900$ to start playing and of course you don't know if the prices drop or increase until you have bred your own axies that you can sell. So those games really are a gamble in my opinion, just like most other investments.
