So, if you’re looking for distilled recommendations, head over to the site, be greeted with dozens of great games and download any that take your fancy. Alternatively, if you’re happy with a little more reading, we’ll regularly post articles like this one to update you on what we’ve posted on the site in the last week or so.
Use your puzzling nous to escape perilous situations
The physical escape room has become something of a low-key craze here in the UK, and I imagine it’s spread elsewhere. And while they’re good fun, it’s important to remember that the whole setup started in gaming, particularly browser-based puzzlers of days gone by. Now, a lot of those have found a place on mobile, meaning you can plot a way out of a room, dungeon, prison or even a car without having to part with too much cash. So we put a list of them together on PocketGamer.fun.
Play golf without any of the drawbacks
I must admit, I’m more of a mini golf person than someone who would do a round of 18. I don’t have the attention span required for that, likely becoming bored after the third hole. That’s part personal issue, part finding ‘proper’ golf spectacularly dull. However, when it comes to games, I find myself enjoying the sport a lot more. The reason? Well, on mobile, it’s rarely intended to be a realistic interpretation of golf. Instead, many developers merely use it as a basis to create something infinitely more interesting than driving a little cart over rolling hills. Tee off now with our picks!
Game of the Week
Machine Yearning
My short-term memory is pretty appalling. Generally, if I don’t write something down, I probably won’t remember it, especially if it’s important. However, ask me to name every boss in Bloodborne, and I’ll probably only miss one or two. My brain’s priorities are clearly somewhat askew. Evidently, I need a spot of brain training, something that Tiny Little Keys’ Machine Yearning is on hand to provide. And if a memory game doesn’t sound too exciting, read Will’s review, and I’m sure he’ll convince you otherwise.
