the iPhone 10's antennas max are out today and you might be wondering hey I love playing games my phone's which one is the better one to grab and the answer is honestly pretty easy and straightforward the 10s max for two very simple but very important reasons first off battery life games can be very draining on your phone's battery you want to make sure they're able to get a lot of playtime in at the same time have remote available just in case and better battery is gonna make sure that isn't a problem reason number two screen size staying true to its name the tennis max is increased screen size relative to its already larger body has created one of the largest film screens ever made and actually contends with actual gaming systems I mean the switch screen is actually a smaller diagonal there's more screen real estate but this gets very very very close which is really important for a lot of games to make sure they're able to see everything nice and clearly anything that uses touch controls your fingers aren't getting in the way of the action it's gonna give you the best gameplay experience now of course the next important question is what games should I get because I don't know if you've been on the App Store lately there's a lot of them a lot and there's a lot of good stuff juice room but we're gonna go over five of the best games you can play today first off let's talk about a game that uses a feature that's exclusive to newer iPhones they are there are a lot of air games in the market right now most of them are kind of just tests and theories ideas of how games can develop but there's a few that are starting to get really really good and a personal favorite of mine is the birdcage I am a huge sucker for a lot of escape room style games puzzle games things that are very interactive that you can do on your phone with the touch screen interface and the birdcage is a very interesting idea in that it creates an actual like birdcage in augmented reality that you can interact and mess with having to solve puzzles all you have to do is scan a tabletop surface and you'll see a birdcage emerge MERP Bert birds emerge is the word I'm trying to say not immerse emerge all you have to do is scan a tabletop and watch an actual birdcage emerge out of the surface of it that you can then freely walk around inspect and mess with and this is something I think there's a lot of kind of interactive escape room puzzle games on iphone but AR is taking it to a whole new level that I cannot wait to see where it goes next up is one of my personal favorite iPhone games I think it's something that has been developed perfectly with phone interfaces in mind and that is rain's reigns's game that if you haven't heard of is basically imagine tinder meets some kind of chooser an adventure story you're constantly make decisions we're already doing a swiping left or right and seeing how events play out constantly having to balance all these aspects of daily living and pretty much no matter what you do you're gonna eventually die and play as a hold another king or queen all over again now this is actually a series that has a couple entries going on right now the original one is a king most recent one is a queen and soon we will have a third entry that is actually a crossover with Game of Thrones this might sound a little too simple at first but actually the game is much more complex than you'd ever realized once you start playing it it actually has a really kind of interesting backstory built into it as well that you fully discover as you play more and more and while it is very simple and straightforward with just the swiping mechanic this also makes it the perfect game to just pick up and play in short bursts whenever you want now speaking games that are suited really well to the iPhone there's one your honor I've always loved which is Metroidvania and it's not something that's usually very easy to pull off with a touch screen interface but there's one game that has proven that idea wrong and that's dendara dinara takes the idea of a Metroidvania we're exploring a large dungeon re-examining rooms backtracking dealing with enemies but changes its gameplay style instead of being a traditional side-scrolling platformer into a game that relies on touch controls where you're leaping from wall to wall and using ranged attacks on enemies and all plays wonderfully smooth on a touchscreen interface and it's so much fun and something I really appreciate about too is that I think a lot of times when people think about mobile games they think about games that are very specifically designed for phone and mine it doesn't have the same grand scale of stuff you might see on like the PlayStation or the switch den version of those games where it actually blends the kind of scope scale and quality gameplay of a console game but brings it home to a phone in a way that makes it a fairly unique experience and blends the two mediums perfectly fourth on the list we're gonna get a little less serious with one of the funniest games to come out recently on mobile donut county in donut county is a very simple game in which you're a hole as a whole you eat things up and the more stuff you eats the bigger the hole gets and thus you can eat even bigger things and that's the way the whole thing goes kind of imagine almost like a reverse tomorrow we're instead of rolling stuff up and making a ball you're just destroying everything now at first that might sound really really easy but energy gets fairly complex the farther you get adding a lot of puzzle elements that you might not think about when you first learn of how the mechanics work and more importantly the game is just ridiculously funny at the same time both the storyline it has itself and more importantly the trash o pedia basically as you eat items up in the game bill strop in the trash Opie do where you can look at images of them and then read short little descriptions that are oftentimes not at all accurate but hilarious then we have a game that when it was first announced honestly I never would have seen myself recommending it to people but once I actually played it it really grew on me really fast and that's final fantasy 15 Pocket Edition now I know if you've just seen gameplay of it the art style is a little off-putting at first at least it was for me but it really grew me as time went on and it really is interesting how this game has taken such a massively scoped title like Final Fantasy 15 and scale it down into a fun little portable game well the gameplay and visuals are of course entirely different it actually uses a lot of the same music audio files and recreates whole scenes from the game while making it a more condensed shorter adventure that can be easily enjoyed on the go as someone who played the original game before jumping into this one yeah it's a little weird at first but if you give it a shot it really is a lot of fun to play and if you haven't had the chance to play in 15 this is an awesome way to experience the storyline without quite the same investment
