20 Engrossing Mobile Games to Help You Escape the Everyday
Believe it or not, if you own a smartphone and have even touched Candy Crush, you're a video game player. Contrary to what Reddit threads say about "dirty casuals" who dabble in mobile games for fun, you stand with us, a perfect and fully formed Gamer™. Welcome to the club. Sure, there are few gaming markets that are as controversial when it comes to microtransactions and over-saturation than the mobile gaming market. But that issue aside, you can find quite a lot of stellar downloads for your handy palm pilot in the App Store (or in Apple Arcade) and for Android. These titles range from free, to flat rate, to, yes, a few with microtransactional systems that ask you to pay for stuff in-game, which is not always a terrible model. You might as well download a collection of the newest releases, retro throwbacks, mind puzzlers, and more to pass the time. When you don't have the wherewithal to boot up a console, the mental fortitude to read a book, or the apathy to stare at a wall all afternoon, take your mind off the world with the 20 best mobile games to play in 2020.
