Thread for iOS games 2017-2023: shame, loathing and recommendations

I just want to say I'm very disappointed Trainyard never got updated to work with later iOS versions.

Donut County isn't doing much for me but Florence is good.

pocket city is a good handheld version of sim city 2000

hard disagree on that one

pocket city made me angry

pocket city was ehhhhhh

(I did break my brain playing too much sim city 2000 as a kid so ymmv)

dowd mentioned Night of the Full Moon on another thread recently so I gave it a shot. it's really fun! what is the genre...CCG/rogue/rpg, sort of? it's $1, although you can pay more to unlock additional character classes. it's one of the rare games that has voice acting that is actually good, especially on iOS. it actually even made me LOL, the first time a game has done that in forever (a pumpkin head enemy said something like "how would you know what it feels like to be in the cutting baaaawrd?!" in a ridiculous accent - hard to explain but it was good).

I like Alphabear 2 a lot but despise the insane amount of ads. Even if you buy it there’s still the “TV Time” bonus for watching 3 ads every four hours...

New Michael Brough game P1 Select for those who like these things. (I do). Sounds like he hasn'tried (or had the time) to do anything new, but is happy with that.

Thank you! I will always check out his games

I need new rpg for iphone 11

Dungeons of Chaos look good.

Nope

Lol

Not new but I was psyched to see that Knights of the Old Republic is available for iPhone. Maybe this is a good time to start it.

Super late to this party, as I just picked it up as a freebie a few weeks ago, but damn yeah Alto's Adventure is probably the best endless runner. Just completed all 180 goals and got that "survived for three days" achievement.

Alto's Odyssey is a nice follow-up too but very much more of the same

new BROG - well large expansion for Imbroglio:

nice

yes. i mean cinco paus is just wonderful but i love imbroglio as well.

I 100%ed Hidden Folks and now I’m sad

instead of developing speed run routes for hidden folks I just went on a little spree today and picked up the phoenix wright trilogy, black box, and soda dungeon 2.

is meteor fall any good?

Good Sudoku is good.

I burned out on it after about a month, but yeah, it's good. I hate the mode that takes away all the improvements though (Classic?) but the others worked nicely

Yeah I accidentally played a classic one today and I messed it up good

Cosmic Express is a great little one-screen logic puzzle game. I even like the background music, which is usually the first thing I turn off.

Any decent graphic adventure/visual novel/point & click games on phones recently? Feels like the high point was The Room and its sequels, and now developers are making gacha games instead.

The Cube Escape games are great but probably not recent

i'm near the end of kentucky route zero, which is unfortunately not for iOS, i don't think. but maybe this will help?

is it my imagination or is apple shifting any game that looks good or interesting at all to apple arcade

cupe escape / rusty lake games are great yes

I found the first chapter of KRZ too slow but that list has some games I've liked and others I've added to my wishlist.

Ooh The Silent Age is good! Syberia II is not.

Luck Be A Landlord is my new favorite iOS game. Addictive.
