    Roia is a light puzzle experience involving the power of water, the influence of geography, and the quiet beauty of nature that leaves you wishing you could see and do more.

    Race among a selection of favoured Disney characters throughout their various worlds while hoping for more control in variety and on the touchscreen.

    Tarisland is a decent MMORPG with cartoonish graphics, intuitive controls, and a standard combat system. However, the game's characters and storyline aren't distinct enough to be memorable.

    Zenless Zone Zero is a stunning work of art that boasts stylish visuals, lofi vibes, and insanely satisfying combat. Dull HDD woes aside, what makes it shine even more in my opinion are the little details - much like that Bangboo that tried (by god, it tried) to transform into a warrior but couldn't. This just goes to show that while this highly anticipated ARPG might just be the next big thing, it also hasn't lost its heart - and that alone makes it worth the wait.

    LUNA The Shadow Dust is an enchanting point-and-click adventure that's recently made the jump to mobile. The stunning hand-animated scenes and evocative soundtrack complement the wordless storytelling beautifully, and if you can get past the rage-quit-inducing last chapters, a memorable ending awaits - and maybe even a lesson on persevering through adversity too.

    Paper Trail is a very appealing, polished and genuinely challenging at-times game. With great accessibility options, although it has some hiccups, for the low-low price of free we highly recommend it.

    Skul: The Hero Slayer turns you into an adaptable skeleton fighter with magic potential and physical skills to boot to fight, jump, and struggle with the touchscreen.

    Athenian Rhapsody is a must-play game for fans of humourous RPGs. With a distinct combat system, bizarre characters, and dialogue that will make you giggle, it offers an experience you don't want to pass up.

    Squad Busters lives up to the hype as a much faster-paced game than some of Supercell's other offerings. It won't draw in any mobile gaming sceptics, but for Supercell fans and existing mobile gamers this is a worthy addition to the developer's catalogue.

    Braid returns as that classic indie title where you help a young man survive trials and solve puzzles with a variety of time powers.

    Solo Leveling: Arise is everything you wanted in a manga-turn-mobile game, despite a few hiccups here and there. There are strategic battles at every turn, and many levels to be gained, in order to become the Monarch of Shadows.

    Loop Hero is an ingenious roguelike RPG in which you must rebuild reality using cards you earn form defeating enemies.

    Paper Trail is arguably one of the best representations of what makes Netflix Games a genuinely great service. Like the OG Netflix, before they began trying to squeeze money out of the reality TV crowd, it feels experimental and chock-full of games you won’t find promoted on other services.

    AFK Journey is an engaging idle RPG brimming with epic quests and distinct heroes to collect.

    Wildfrost is a gorgeously designed and brutally unforgiving roguelike deck-builder that tasks you with putting an end to an eternal frost. The strategic depth and replayability factor alone make the premium price worth it - add to that the possibility of encountering a naked gnome and it might just be a no-brainer for you.

    Astra: Knights of Veda is a thrilling idle action RPG in which you battle foes in side-scrolling levels as you seek the missing fragments of the goddess Veda.

    Strange Horticulture is a very solid game for what it is. If you're interested in occult, folk-horror and mysteries you'll definitely be engaged. The unique gameplay will be familiar to players of point-and-click adventures and has some light puzzle elements. However, some issues from the translation to mobile do detract from the overall experience.

    It is no secret that Hades is a fantastic game, people raved about it quite rightly, and it being on mobile is fantastic in theory. Of course, you will need a Netflix subscription, an iPhone, and ideally a controller to deal with the touchscreen issues I had. If you are in this minority of mobile consumers, then you will have a fantastic time, but it is hard to feel that Supergiant could have executed this port in a much more successful manner by including an Android version and spending a lot more time on the touchscreen implementation.

    Take a trip to the nostalgic past on your way to the Lost Island with solid customisation, lots to collect, and lots to fight, as fuzzy and easy as it may be.

    Ex Astris is a premium mobile RPG with a one-of-a-kind mix of real-time and turn-based combat. The lack of controller support can be a bummer, and the complicated combat mechanics take some getting used to. But if you're tired of your typical gacha game, this compelling single-player title can be a complete steal.

    Hidden Through Time 2: Myths and Magic! is an adorable hidden object game with a unique time-changing feature. While the game could benefit from a more refined hint system, it still offers an engaging experience.

    A relatively breezy puzzle experience, completely free. Fun and interesting, Please, Touch the Artwork 2 does lack a bit of depth that might help it function more as the educational tool it hopes to be.

    There are a lot of moving parts in Potion Permit, and it does the majority of them very well, but therein lies its weakness for me. I had fun with it all, but it never excelled in any of these areas enough to become a fantastic game. For $6.99, definitely buy it and you will undoubtedly enjoy yourself and be warmed by its wholesome atmosphere, but it is unavoidably a jack-of-all-trades situation.

    From Eva With Green is a unique puzzle-slash-pinball game with lovely aesthetics that aims to provide an almost Zen-like experience on mobile. While the awkward controls weren't particularly intuitive for me, you might still want to give it a go if you're on the hunt for something casual and unique to help you pass the time.
