There used to be a time when mobile gaming was considered inferior to other forms of gaming. Now, thanks to improved technology and a greater appreciation for this unique art form, more people are willing to accept the value of mobile games as entertainment. Here are ten of the most compelling mobile games you'll want to replay indefinitely.
1. Pokemon GO
This installment of the Pokemon franchise was powerful enough to bring people to the streets in search of pocket monsters and it continues to have a powerful effect.
2. Among Us
Among Us emerged as one of the top games to stream and play during the pandemic and has maintained its popularity due to its simple yet compelling design. The fan-generated hype for the game has proven its worthiness as a mobile game that will go down in history.
3. Tetris
Speaking of history, this classic game has an addicting mobile version. Whether you remember playing the original Tetris or are completely new to it, this game will have you dreaming in blocks.
4. Candy Crush
Candy Crush is still one of the most loved mobile games despite having been released over a decade ago. Devices with record scores in the game have been known to sell for ridiculous amounts of money. If you have a Google Play Gift Card from OffGamers, you can use it to browse the different Candy Crush sequels. The juicy design and addictive gameplay keep players coming back for more.
5. Fruit Ninja
There is nothing quite as satisfying as cleanly slicing a melon or apple in Fruit Ninja. Players hone their skills and reaction times to carve fruit as it flies through the air. Although relatively simple as a game mechanic, it has yet to lose its mass appeal.
6. Temple Run
For the times when you want to become fully absorbed in the flow of a game, Temple Run is the answer. Navigating the beautifully designed maps may only require simple finger swipes, but it's difficult not to keep playing for hours on end.
7. Monument Valley
Unlike other games in this list so far, Monument Valley is a mysterious, gentle, and slow-paced mobile game. Mesmerizing geometric levels guide you through a peaceful yet oddly unnerving world of ancient monuments. The intrigue and beauty keep players hooked.
8. Minecraft
Having Minecraft downloaded onto your mobile device is like having the entire world at your fingertips. The replayability of Minecraft cannot be overstated. It's up to you how you want to play this game, whether that's as a peaceful architect, a potion maker, or an explorer with a quest. Even without the various modes and updates, this game would be highly addictive and endlessly replayable.
9. Stardew Valley
Lovingly created by one person, Stardew Valley allows players to enjoy a tranquil farming town with gentle music and plenty to do. Somehow, the management of seemingly mundane tasks such as collecting hens' eggs or foraging for mushrooms becomes an escapist dream in this game.
10. Plague Inc
Almost the complete opposite of the last game, Plague Inc presents players with a world map and control over a potentially deadly pathogen. Repeated efforts incur different outcomes each time, making for ideal replayability.
To Sum Up
There are so many amazing mobile games out there to try. These are just ten to get you started. No matter what genre you usually play, try one or more of the above and you might be pleasantly surprised!
