The iPhone is one of the best mobile gaming devices on the market right now. It has the power to run games that rival what you’d find on a home console, which makes it a fantastic choice for gamers who want to take their experience with them wherever they go. It’s not just about performance either, the iPhone has some great games available from both major studios and indie developers alike.
However, there are a lot of games out there, but we’ve rounded up some of the best iPhone games to help you find something new to play. This is an incomplete list of games that are currently available on iOS, so the list will be updated when a new good game comes out.
1. Playdead’s INSIDE
INSIDE is a puzzle-platformer that follows the lead of Playdead’s previous game, LIMBO. Similar to LIMBO which was a dark and disturbing story about death, INSIDE is pretty much the same but with different kinds of puzzles and storylines. You play as a young boy who wakes up in a strange laboratory that forces him to run and jump his way through increasingly difficult puzzles. Even though the game is mostly set up in a black and white environment, the game looks gorgeous. Thanks to its simple but detailed art style for making it one of the most gorgeous games on mobile devices.
