Aarik and the Ruined Kingdom is a calming puzzle game that challenges you to change your perspective to fix pathways and complete your quest.

Visit the Skate City version of New York, where all the curbs and railing give you lots of options to ride while skating from left to right and running from authority.

Kawaii Kitchen is a fairly simple experience, but it's cute and the fact that it's not full of microtransactions or pay-to-win really makes it feel like a fantastic experience.

Universe For Sale is a gorgeous visual novel-slash-point-and-click adventure with fantastic world-building and superb writing. The lack of mobile-optimised touch controls makes the gameplay itself incredibly frustrating though, so come for the visuals and stay for the story - if you can manage to tap your way from one chapter to the next.

Pine: A Story of Loss is a wordless game full of story, emotion, and memories of someone who is now gone. It's emotional and does a fantastic job of showing what it's like to lose someone that you keep remembering.

Bring an umbrella for the pressure of Suzerain - it wraps a transforming nation with internal and external issues, so make sure to keep track of them all.

Monument Valley 3 is a fantastic puzzle game that will challenge you with its puzzles and hook you with its subtle story. There is so much more to this world than you might first think.

Infinity Nikki is going to be the greatest game that many, many people have ever played. I have no doubt that its fantastic approach to design is going to inspire a new generation of developers.

Total War: Empire is one of the best strategy games I've ever played on mobile. It stays true to the franchise principles, it's historically accurate, but it has a lot of requirements in terms of hardware. If you can play it, you'll love it; if you can't play it, you'd better buy a new phone.

A Little to the Left is a charming puzzler that tasks you with organising chaos as best as you can. The lovely art style and background music add to the meditative vibes, but frustration will creep in every so often thanks to the odd illogical puzzle and the occasional clunky controls. Give it a go if you're keen on daily puzzles about organising chaos - or at the very least, if you'd like to experience chaos from a crafty cat.

I went into Wuthering Waves fully expecting to write it off, thinking it would be a pale imitation of the big one, but it just isn’t. It pains me to say, but it is better. Comparing it to another feels like an insult, Wuthering Waves is just really fun in and of itself. I will be playing more of this, and I wholeheartedly recommend everyone give it a spin. The gameplay is incredibly fun, it looks beautiful, and you don’t need to drop a penny to win. Also, you can pet and feed at least one cat. Probably should have led with that and saved myself the time.

Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit is another chapter in an already fantastic game, with some quality of life improvements, new characters, and some new features added along the way. If you are a fan of Animal Crossing style games, this is one for you.

Drive Ahead! Carcade would be a really fun arcade PvP battler if not for the overly sensitive physics system, which makes it hard to manoeuvre.

Grimguard Tactics is an engaging turn-based RPG with a dark feel that relies on genre standard mechanics.

Bloons Card Storm is an extremely fun CCG where you can try out all sorts of crazy strategies and have complete creative freedom over the decks you make. It is a little lacking in terms of additional content, but there is a lot of potential standing on the back of these balloon-popping monkeys!

This Disney Pixel RPG is just what its title is: an RPG with a party of Disney characters fighting a universe-ending threat that quickly eats your energy and tests your luck.

Hidden in My Paradise is an adorable, hidden object game that has a lot of cute creatures! Not only are you looking for objects, but you can also find fairies hidden within the items on the screen or move around animals to create little stories. It's a cute and clever idea.

Pineapple: A Bitter Sweet Revenge can be played in an evening, giving you a new take on a viral Reddit story, that comes with its own message. It's also fantastic in the level of polish, providing for a very fun game to play.

If you are someone who likes these challenging, grid-based puzzles and can see where to place the path, this is another quality one that you can start playing through!
