Best Mobile Games Available For iPhone 2022

While it is true that mobile games are a long way off from what can be found on PC and console, there are still some true gems to be discovered. The fact is that mobile gaming has never been better, provided you know where to look. Yes, there are still plenty of games based around greedy microtransactions, but the ones on our list are proper, gameplay focused gems.

These are the best games available on the Apple iStore right now.

Limbo

Developers Playdead truly are next level masters of the 2D gaming space. Their first smash hit came in 2010, called Limbo. The game drew attention for not only being a grim, physics puzzle based adventure, but also for exclusively using a silhouetted graphics style. There is no dialogue, and the story is entirely up to interpretation, but that doesn't stop Limbo from being as evocative as it is deeply engaging. Fair warning, though, this certainly isn't for the weak of heart. Limbo is grim, disturbing, and sometimes downright shocking. Expect to see some troubling imagery.

Inside

Playdead followed up Limbo with the equally as brilliant Inside. The graphics are better, the design significantly more elaborate, and levels of polish through the roof. Inside is also technically a 2D side scroller, but that didn't stop Playdead from packing the game full of astoundingly rich environments and detailed character models. Again, there is no dialogue and the story is up to interpretation, but there is so much going on that a theorist could write literal volumes on the events that unfold. Once again, this isn't for the squeamish.

Fallout Shelter

Anyone familiar with the Fallout franchise knows how the story goes. The world ended with an atomic holocaust, and only those that lived in holocaust-proof Vaults managed to get through unscathed. Though, the world certainly isn't the same when the survivors finally emerge. Fallout Shelter isn't as elaborate as its PC and console counterparts, but does stand alone as a rather entertaining mini-game. Players control a vault, manage the goings on inside, and send out explorers to find resources. It's surprisingly fleshed out, interestingly addictive, and truly can hold interest for days, if not weeks.

Death Road To Canada

What would anyone in the United States do in a zombie apocalypse, other than make tracks directly for Canada? Silly, quirky, charming, and surprisingly violent, Death Road To Canada is about as addictive as iPhone games get. The trick is that the pixelated mayhem is randomly generated, allowing countless stories to unfold. Yes, most journeys will end in disaster, but those that manage to make it really will have something to celebrate.

Call Of Duty: Mobile

There isn't much more to say about Call Of Duty: Mobile that the name doesn't already make clear, much like the bingo Australia offers, the premise is simple. It's a mobile version of Call Of Duty and plays as would be expected. A gamepad is highly recommended, given that the touchscreen controls are a bit of a mess. But either way, AAA first person shooting is now available on an iPhone near you.
