RAVON
Back into my mobile rhythm games folder, RAVON is a game where you have 15 (or 24) square inputs on the screen, and notes will move towards one of those squares where you have to tap them to pick them up. Sounds a lot like a certain other square grid based rhythm game, but unlike…

Buck Up And Drive
If you’ve ever played classic sega racing games like OutRun or Super Hang On, this will be right up your alley. It’s a back to form classic rally racing game, except this one comes packaged with a huge massive important DRIFT button, and quarter circle bullshit.

Sky Factory 4
So Minecraft, amirite? I did say I’d do one of these eventually, but I don’t really know how to tag or categorise it, so uhhhh, time for a ‘Mods’ category, I suppose. Anyway, you’ll need Minecraft for this one, of course. Skyblock is a genre of map/modpack where you start from a tree on a…

Zachtronics Solitaire Collection
I’ve talked about several minesweeper games, but time for a twist, Solitaire. 8 of them, in fact. All with their own theme and twists. You might have played some of these variants if you’ve ever played a Zachtronics game, but if there are any you’ve missed, you’ll want to pick this game up.

Discolored
A short little point and click puzzle game. Some of the puzzles are a tiny bit obtuse, but my partner and I solved it in 2-3 hours without a walkthrough or anything. Doesn’t overstay it’s welcome.

Pokemon Legends Arceus
This. Oh my Arceus, just, this. This is what Pokemon has wished it was for the last 25 years. None of that bs railroading, none of that “oh you must catch one Pokemon then you know everything about it.” This game does so many things right and so many things that the franchise has needed…

Rotaeno
Did you know, that in terms of arcade and mobile gaming, rhythm games as a genre are the most innovative? Like, you have games with knobs, games with levers, 2D input areas, mashups with entirely different genres, and now, games that utilise the gyroscope in your phone.

Factory Town
This is a weird one to recommend, I saw it on the Jingle Jam bundle and thought why not give it a try. Turns out its actually an incredibly deep management simulation styled like a town simulation game, with a fairly wide range of things to manage and consider.
-
Ori And The Blind Forest
Ori is an interersting one, unlike most other games in the genre, it’s a metroidvania that isn’t focused on combat, but rather a lot of tricky platforming through difficult terrain and spiked tunnels. There are some enemies that get in your way, but in general the way to tackle them is to just dodge their…

Antimatter Dimensions
Oh christ this is a rabbit hole and a half. I could never get into idle games to start with, most of them were on PC, and they didn’t really gel with me at first, so I missed things like Cookie Clicker. Then someone showed me AD and my life kinda went all downhill from…

Wandersong
A cute little game about a bard trying to save the world. Explore many fantastic locales and sing to solve puzzles. Recover the parts of the Earthsong to try and save the world!

Spirit of the North
Spirit of the North is a fox game in its purest form. You play as a fox, like, an actual fox, who can yip and wag their tail. Eventually you meet a friendly spirit fox who will help guide you on your adventure and try to explain to you what’s going on.
