My Experience

In 2013, I started my Ziff Davis career as an intern on PCMag's Software team.
Now, I’m an Analyst on the Apps and Gaming team, and I really just want to use
my fancy Northwestern University journalism degree to write about video games. I
host The Pop-Off, PCMag's video game show. I was previously the Senior Editor
for Geek.com. I’ve also written for The A.V. Club, Kotaku, and Paste Magazine.
I’m currently working on a book about the history of video games, and I’m the
reason everything you think you know about Street Sharks is a lie.

World of Demons Play More Games Play More Games


Over the past decade, mobile devices became gaming platforms on par with
dedicated consoles. Modern phones and tablets pack enough power to deliver
beautiful, complex gaming experiences, and not simply the causal fare that's
dominated the space. But there's nothing wrong with casual gaming!

Unfortunately, the mobile gaming market has slowly devolved to the point where
now only exploitative, free-to-play (F2P) games that extract your cash via
psychological traps and microtransactions can thrive. Maybe it’s because
audiences don’t want to pay money upfront. Maybe publishers realize this model
lets them earn more profit with less work. Whatever the reason, we’re now at the
sad point where you can spend more money on the mediocre Mario Kart Tour than
the proper (portable!) Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

That’s why, as someone who believes in mobile gaming's potential, Apple Arcade's
launch was so exciting. For $5 per month, Apple gives you access to a
fast-growing library of nearly 200 premium games to enjoy on iPhone, iPad, Mac,
and Apple TV with a real controller connected. None of these games compromise
their design with garbage F2P mechanics, and that’s so refreshing to see in this
space. It harkens back to mobile gaming's promising and exciting early days. For
the same price, Apple Arcade arguably offers more exclusive, high-quality
original content to gamers than Apple TV+ offers to movie and TV fans. That
streaming video service’s best show, Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet, happens to
be about video games, anyway.

A new update recently expanded the types of games you’ll find on Apple Arcade.
Alongside exclusive originals from famous developers, you can now play App Store
Greats (remastered versions of past acclaimed App Store games) and Timeless
Classics (new versions of old favorites, such as chess and sudoku). Along with
GameClub, Apple Arcade helps mobile gaming take its history seriously.

Here are the Apple Arcade titles worth playing right now. Note that while you
won't find these games on other mobile devices, or available for purchase on the
App Store outside of Apple Arcade, some are available on other dedicated gaming
consoles and PC stores. Still, Apple Arcade is the only place you can play them
all in one convenient, affordable, Apple One bundle.


1. ASSEMBLE WITH CARE


Apple Arcade Subscription at Apple App Store
See It (Opens in a new window)

Assemble With Care takes tasks as mundane as unpacking a suitcase or fixing a
tape recorder and fills them with the gentle, intimate puzzle-solving fun you’d
expect from the makers of Monument Valley. Few developers are as skilled at
harnessing the touch screen's expressive interface capabilities.


2. CARD OF DARKNESS


Apple Arcade Subscription at Apple App Store
See It (Opens in a new window)

Card of Darkness has pleasing aesthetics (courtesy of Adventure Time creator
Pendleton Ward), unexpected remixes of familiar but elegant strategy systems,
and number-based card game mechanics. It’s what we’ve come to expect from Zach
Gage, creator of other mobile masterpieces, such as Really Bad Chess and
SpellTower.


3. CAT QUEST II


Apple Arcade Subscription at Apple App Store
See It (Opens in a new window)

The original Cat Quest claimed to be “Skyrim With Cats” and somehow delivered on
that promise. Cat Quest II is more of the same: an accessible, yet surprisingly
deep and addictive action-RPG starring cats. This time you can play with a
friend.


4. CHUCHU ROCKET! UNIVERSE


Apple Arcade Subscription at Apple App Store
See It (Opens in a new window)

ChuChu Rocket! Universe puts a new spin on the clever 3D, spatial puzzles of the
original Sega Dreamcast game. It doesn’t change my lukewarm opinions of Sega’s
final home console all the way back from 1999, but I’m glad this series made a
comeback.


5. CROSSY ROAD CASTLE


Apple Arcade Subscription at Apple App Store
See It (Opens in a new window)

Crossy Road asked “What if Frogger was about a chicken crossing the road?” and
wound up becoming one of our all-time favorite mobile games for kids or anyone
else who wanted in on the action. Crossy Road Castle tries something different.
Instead of crossing endless roads, you control a chicken who traverses
platforming levels in an endless tower. Change in genre aside, Crossy Road
Castle's challenge is still fun. The Crossy Road franchise is mobile gaming
royalty, after all. 


6. DISNEY MELEE MANIA


Apple Arcade Subscription at Apple Arcade
See It (Opens in a new window)

Disney Melee Mania brings together icons, such as Mickey Mouse, Buzz Lightyear,
and Princess Elsa, for madcap multiplayer action. In this simplified take on the
very not simple MOBA genre, two teams of three players use their characters'
unique skills to dominate the battle arena. Forget Kingdom Hearts, here's the
real crossover you've been waiting for. It turns out the true league of legends
was inside the Disney Vault this whole time.


7. EARTHNIGHT


Apple Arcade Subscription at Apple App Store
See It (Opens in a new window)

EarthNight is essentially an automatic runner, one of the most common mobile
gaming genres, occasionally broken up by bits where you fall from the sky. But
the art is so distinct, the music so fresh, and the motion so freeing and fluid,
that you can’t help but get swept up into it. Plus, you stab a dragon in the eye
with a sword.


8. EXIT THE GUNGEON


Apple Arcade Subscription at Apple App Store
See It (Opens in a new window)

Exit the Gungeon is more than just a great name for a sequel to Enter the
Gungeon. It maintains the original’s ability to marry simple 2D arenas with
surprisingly nuanced and action-packed gunfight mechanics. In this case, the
touch screen actually makes firefights a lot easier.


9. FANTASIAN


Free on Apple Arcade at Apple App Store
See It (Opens in a new window)

Final Fantasy's creator doesn’t work for Square Enix anymore, but doesn’t mean
he’s done making high-quality JRPGs. Fantasian is the latest project from
Hironobu Sakaguchi’s Mistwalker studio. The turn-based gameplay may harken back
to the past, but the gorgeous, shining visuals feel straight from the future.


10. GRINDSTONE


Apple Arcade Subscription at Apple App Store
See It (Opens in a new window)

Grindstone is already cool enough as a block-matching puzzle game where you
sometimes worry about the blocks biting back. But it’s the satisfying carnage
that happens when your beefy fantasy hero chops through those monsters that put
this game over the top. If you’ve heard of any Apple Arcade title, it’s probably
this one, for good reason.


11. MANIFOLD GARDEN


Apple Arcade Subscription at Apple App Store
See It (Opens in a new window)

Manifold Garden has been in the works for years and years. When you play the
puzzle game, you'll understand why. Traveling through its impossible geometry
feels like an effortless dream, but designing these trippy challenges was surely
a stressful nightmare.


12. MUTAZIONE


Apple Arcade Subscription at Apple App Store
See It (Opens in a new window)

Mutazione is a story-heavy, melancholic adventure through an otherworldly
mutated natural environment. It’s as if the game Night in the Woods was also a
chill version of the movie Annihilation. If you get those those references,
you'll dig this game.


13. NBA 2K21 ARCADE EDITION


Free on Apple Arcade at Apple App Store
See It (Opens in a new window)

Don’t let “Arcade Edition” fool you. While 2K’s beloved basketball sim is a bit
simplified on Apple Arcade, you’ll still need technical skill to achieve your
hoop dreams. Maintain a strong defense. Properly time your shots on the touch
screen. It feels like serious basketball, and the game's high production value
means NBA 2K21 Arcade Edition looks like serious basketball, too.


14. NEO CAB


Apple Arcade Subscription at Apple App Store
See It (Opens in a new window)

Neo Cab presents a barely futuristic world where you are the last human driver
competing against automated rideshare services, while trying to find your
missing friend. It’s really engrossing. That said, I just can’t get behind being
a taxi driver that talks to customers this much, something I never want in real
life.


15. OCEANHORN 2


Apple Arcade Subscription at Apple App Store
See It (Opens in a new window)

Whereas the original Oceanhorn ripped off The Wind Waker for its Legend of Zelda
influences, Oceanhorn 2 has its hungry eyes set on Breath of the Wild. However,
the overall structure is still closer to a traditional 3D Legend of Zelda game.
It remains quite ambitious and beautiful for a mobile adventure.


16. OREGON TRAIL


Apple Arcade Subscription at Apple Arcade
See It (Opens in a new window)

The Oregon Trail on Apple Arcade modernizes the classic educational game for
today’s youth. Not enough kids know how to avoid dying of dysentery. A
particularly cool update is the increased input from indigenous people, making
sure that cultural elements like hairstyles and music are accurately
represented. Live out your American pioneer life wherever you want.   


17. OVERLAND 2


Apple Arcade Subscription at Apple App Store
See It (Opens in a new window)

It's easy to say that Overland was inspired by Into the Breach, but the game has
been in development so long that it’s definitely not the case. Still, both are
turn-based roguelikes that emphasize desperate tactics in the face of random
odds rather than grand, overarching strategy. As you travel across the small
grids that make up the wasteland, you need to make tough decisions such as how
to quietly look for precious gas, when to heal your dog, and whether you should
just bail. The interface is designed to make the famously dense strategy genre
more accessible to, say, tabletop players, and it looks clean as a result. At
least, as clean as a post-apocalyptic interface can look.


18. PINBALL WIZARD


Apple Arcade Subscription at Apple App Store
See It (Opens in a new window)

In a world where pinball-inspired games are becoming increasingly abstract
(Creature in the Well, Yoku’s Island Express) Pinball Wizard is relatively
straightforward. Each dungeon floor is a relatively traditional table, but
they're full of monsters that you defeat by bouncing the adorable wizard into
them.


19. REALLY BAD CHESS+


Free on Apple Arcade at Apple App Store
See It (Opens in a new window)

Developer Zach Gage is the absolute king of taking familiar casual games and
turning them into innovative, approachable art. Really Bad Chess is chess where
all of your pieces are random. Sometimes you’re blessed with five queens. Other
times, you’ll need to wrangle an entire herd of knights. With so much of
traditional chess dominated by the need to memorize specific strategies, this
twist adds exciting unpredictability for both players and viewers, alike.


20. SAYONARA WILD HEARTS


Apple Arcade Subscription at Apple App Store
See It (Opens in a new window)

Sayonara Wild Hearts is a synesthesia synthesis of visuals and music that render
word-based descriptions almost useless. It’s a vaporwave/blur/pop art album of a
video game that’s like the musician Saint Pepsi made a new Rhythm Heaven game.
Or, if Thumper’s industrial beats didn’t hate you. Or, if Persona 5 was made in
the West, but was also Tetris Effect. Or, if that Daft Punk animated movie got a
sequel. Does that make any sense? Who cares? Queen Latifah is in this.


21. SHANTAE AND THE SEVEN SIRENS


Apple Arcade Subscription at Apple App Store
See It (Opens in a new window)

Shantae and the Seven Sirens continues the journey of the half-genie hero and
her cheesecake friends, finally combining modern illustrated graphics with the
classic nonlinear structure for the exploratory action-adventure platforming.
Just make sure to play this one with a controller.


22. SHINSEKAI: INTO THE DEPTHS


Apple Arcade Subscription at Apple App Store
See It (Opens in a new window)

Shinsekai is one of the most traditionally AAA Apple Arcade games. It’s a
beautiful Metroidvania from Capcom about exploring and surviving an essentially
wordless undersea world. Everything is made to look like sculptures, and
trudging through the depths feels as weighty and as floaty as it should. Your
air supply is both your health and your means to propel yourself. Use your melee
weapon to club enemies or send out sonar pulses to spot new treasures. Craft
spears to shoot from your gun. Fight huge bosses. Enter the depths.


23. SNEAKY SASQUATCH


Apple Arcade Subscription. at Apple App Store
See It (Opens in a new window)

As the Sneaky Sasquatch, you don’t just dig through trash to find food to live.
You also have fun ruining race car competitions or invading posh golf clubs. The
low-stakes life-sim reminds me of Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley. There’s
some light stealth, too, as you’ll need to move quietly or wear a disguise to
infiltrate human spaces, Octodad-style. Or, tell the park ranger to shove it and
openly be Sasquatch.


24. THREES!+


Free on Apple Arcade at Apple App Store
See It (Opens in a new window)

Threes! remains one of the best puzzle games of the past decade. No amount of
2048 rip-offs will ever change that. On Apple Arcade you can play the original
game, ad-free, in all of its adorable, number-sliding glory.


25. ULTIMATE RIVALS

Ultimate Rivals lets you build an all-star team from a selection of famous
athletes, and get funky with what they play. Wayne Gretzky kicks a soccer ball.
Megan Rapinoe throws an American football. LeBron James swings a baseball bat.
This is the Super Smash Bros. of arcade sports games, and it's a lot of fun.


26. WHAT THE GOLF?

What The Golf? makes you question the limits of what constitutes a golf game. Is
it just about hitting a ball into a hole? What about hitting a hole into another
hole? Hitting your club with another club? The answers to these questions, and
more, are waiting.


27. WORLD OF DEMONS


Free on Apple Arcade at Apple App Store
See It (Opens in a new window)

When you see the PlatinumGames logo, you expect stylish, high-flying action and
deceptively deep combat. World of Demons delivers. Dodging and executing sword
combos on the touch screen feels surprisingly fluid, while the ability to summon
powerful slain monster souls expands your attack options. The cel-shaded,
Japanese art style looks like a painting come to life.

ABOUT JORDAN MINOR

ANALYST, SOFTWARE



In 2013, I started my Ziff Davis career as an intern on PCMag's Software team.
Now, I’m an Analyst on the Apps and Gaming team, and I really just want to use
my fancy Northwestern University journalism degree to write about video games. I
host The Pop-Off, PCMag's video game show. I was previously the Senior Editor
for Geek.com. I’ve also written for The A.V. Club, Kotaku, and Paste Magazine.
I’m currently working on a book about the history of video games, and I’m the
reason everything you think you know about Street Sharks is a lie.
