I know older titles are usually the topic in this community but a lot of the popular f2p games are getting pretty old now too, and if you’re like me you’ve been curious about some of them and even pleasantly surprised now and again.
There are many examples like League of Legends, Apex Legends, Raid: Shadow Legends etc and I usually get hooked on one and play it for some months or more. I’m not really trying to get into the “business” side of things, I personally very rarely purchase anything but if you do that’s absolutely fine too.
The current ones I play regularly:
- PC - Enlisted - A WW2 shooter with vehicles like the Battlefield games. Same publisher and game engine as War Thunder and has been in open beta for over 2 years now. Kinda janky still but regularly updated and enjoyable.
- Android - CUE cards universe everything (I forget exactly lol) - Fun deck builder but very grindy if you don’t buy shit. Pretty unique concept for a deck builder what I’ve come across. Short games too so good for a smoke break or the bus or whatever.
So, what do you play?
I don’t remember when Alto’s Odyssey became free to play on Android, but it’s honestly such an amazing game. Its prequel is pretty nice too, but I like this one better.
I used to be addicted to Super Starfish too. I’m even pretty close to completing it, but just never had my chance to do so because… reasons. I would love to see this game on the Nintendo DS.
I played the original Sonic trilogy. It was fine, I guess.
The Dadish series was super annoying and very infuriating despite looking like something a child could complete in one sitting.
Bean Dreams was absolutely phenomenal, though. I loved every second of it. Why on earth did they have to take it down from app stores???
I played Okay. It was okay.
Bart Bonte’s “color” series of games are also pretty fun to play through. You actually can finish all of them in one sitting if you’re brainy enough to do so. I did. “Black” was my favorite, since you get a glimpse of the Belgian flag at the end (Bart is Belgian after all).
I even played Goat Simulator on mobile (not the sequel, the original). For some reason I enjoyed that one the most despite how very obviously limited the mobile version is.
Conclusion: I like very niche categories of mobile games.
Bart Bonte’s games are really satisfying. The only one I didn’t personally care for as much is Sugar Game, but all of the colors are fun little puzzle games.
I especially remember playing the Flash version of Sugar Game a while back, it was my earliest memory of that guy. But yeah, that game specifically wasn’t my favorite, but it was still pretty nice especially with the calm soundtrack that plays in the levels.
