This digital deck-builder is a great title for genre veterans and curious newcomers alike.

The Gardens Between is a beautiful puzzle adventure that you need to experience.

Astrologaster’s premise makes it interesting, but its writing and voice acting make it truly special.

This multiplayer golf game is an uneven mix of high highs and low lows.

Ordia is a truly special platformer that knows exactly what it’s supposed to be.

Whispers of a Machine stumbles on just about all fronts. It has a lot of systems that commingle in a confusing way, a story that feels both unconfident and hackneyed, and–to top it all off–the mobile port leaves quite a bit to be desired. All around, this is a pretty disappointing outing, especially considering Clifftop Games has already proven they can make great adventure games on mobile.

This gacha games plays more like an idle game, while ditching some of the worst parts of its contemporaries in the process.

Rolando: Royal Edition is a faithful and loving remaster of a dearly beloved ten-year-old game, for better or for worse.

Photographs is a picture perfect mobile game you absolutely can’t miss.

The latest Rush Rally game has an impressive amount of modes and control options, making it the most approachable racer on mobile.

This War of Mine: Stories benefits from presenting a smaller, more focused story about the casualties of war.

Game of Gods is a fun and unique spin on the Clash Royale formula, provided you can put up with or pay to opt out of its ads.

Scorcher is a runner with somewhat interesting mechanics, but only its visuals make it a standout game.

JackQuest is a brief adventure that runs out of ideas shortly after it begins. There are a few interesting platforming sections in the game’s small map, but other than that, it feels pretty lifeless. Even among the pool of mostly disappointing Metroidvanias on mobile, JackQuest rates pretty low.

What this tactics game might lack in production values, it makes up for with its fast-and-loose approach to design.

This FMV game certainly has a quirky charm to it, but its narrative unravels to the point that it can’t deliver a satisfying conclusion.

There’s a fair amount of stuff to fight through in Immortal Rogue before it gets enjoyable, but it’s all worth it. Despite a few rough edges, the action offered here is worth investing time in, as it grants some very interesting and satisfying rewards that transform it from rote brawler into a varied action roguelite with huge replay value.

This platformer has neat ideas, but doesn’t execute on them in the best ways.

Evolution’s is a great board game, and this digital version is a solid (though not ideal) way to play it.

Knights of the Card Table has a few irksome features, but is otherwise a solid dungeon-crawling card game.

Star Traders: Frontiers's ambitious variety and depth of systems allows you to have a unique experience each and every time you play it.

Tacticool has a pretty lame tone to it, and its free-to-play design is kind of messed up, but the game itself still manages to be surprisingly fun. Without paying, you can have a good amount of fun here with the game’s tactical gameplay. That said, if you plan to put any serious amount of time into Tacticool at all, be prepared to spend money if you want to stay competitive.

BackFire’s difficulty curve might make you hate it at times, but its design is fair enough that you’re always jumping back in to see if you can best it. What helps is that the game has an ingenious upgrade system that always lets you make progress, even if you’re just banging your head against a level repeatedly. Oh, and I almost forgot the best part: all of this feels completely intuitive and easy-to-control on a touch screen. Do yourself a favor and get BackFire. It’s one of the best arena shooters available on the App Store.

Alien: Blackout looks great, but doesn’t quite capture the feeling of being stalked by a Xenomorph.

Almost all physics games reach a point where they feel too chaotic to be fun, and Hang Line is no exception. The game’s early levels show a lot of cool promise, but that falls away quickly to reveal levels full of unpredictable and annoying hazards that feel like they’re there to try and suck money out of you.

Tap! Captain Star is a foul combination. It’s equal parts mind-numbing clicker and super-aggressive ad machine. I can’t think of a single good reason for anyone to play it.

Supercell is very good at making their derivative games look good and original, but they need to start doing more than that.

If having a mobile version of Gone Home is the only thing that will get you to play this game, grab it. Otherwise, you might want to play it elsewhere.
