Pros

  • Vast selection of characters
  • Crisp gunplay and fast-paced game
  • New perks system

Cons

  • Occasional lag for Android users
  • Touch control feels cluttered

The much awaited Apex Legends is now available for mobile and they already have over 10 million downloads. It’s a strategic battle royale shooting game in a fast-paced combat.

Many users are thrilled that they are able to select characters with different unique abilities that will help defeat their enemies. The more you play, the better your character gets.

If you are looking for a mobile game that will give you an adrenaline rush, Apex Legends Mobile is definitely worth checking out. The high definition graphics and sound will make you feel like you are in your own world.

While it may seem like Apex Legends Mobile is just another shooting game, a unique feature is that it is monetized fairly. It means that you cannot pay to have an advantage point – the upgrades are only cosmetics.

The mobile-exclusive perks system will let you unlock a new skill for your Legend, which makes them even deadlier to the opponent. A lot of people enjoy this feature because it makes the game more thrilling.

You can download the app for both Android and iOS. The game is free upon downloading, but it offers in-app purchases that boost your character’s skills – we do have to warn you, it can get pretty addicting!

A few gamers have complained that the touch control on screen looks cluttered. We hope that the developers take into consideration that the screen on the phone is significantly smaller compared to computer screens.

If you’re an Android user, it is also important to note that you may experience occasional lags.

Pros

  • Large collection of maps
  • Balanced microtransactions
  • Great controller logic

Cons

  • Heavily reliant on Internet connection
  • Annoying ads

Call of Duty: Mobile, also known as CODM, has more than 500 million downloads in the Google Play Store alone. It’s another shooting game that is widely popular, especially among teenagers.

CODM brings back the feeling of nostalgia with their maps collection, which they have for their computer version. They offer a good selection of maps so that the players do not get bored when playing the game.

You’ll need to loot for the materials that you will be using when you are playing. Unlike other games where it’ll depend on the skills of the character, for CODM, you can customize your gears too.

It keeps the players on edge because keeping still means your enemies can spot and kill you. The character needs to keep moving along and find a good hiding spot in order to survive.

We are so glad that CODM does not promote pay-to-win, but pay-for-convenience. You can purchase gun skins and cosmetics, but you also have the option to win it if you play long enough, which promotes balanced microtransactions.

CODM also has one of the best controllers in mobile gaming. You can tell that the interface is strategically placed for the convenience of the players.

This game is available for Android, iOS and iPadOS, which makes it very accessible, along with its free-to-play feature. Skins and cosmetics have different prices, depending on the rarity.

Something to keep in mind is that you’ll need to have a very stable Internet connection in order to play CODM smoothly. Otherwise, you will have a hard time playing as it will keep on lagging.

Being a free game also has its downsides, one of which a whole lot of ads. That said, it’s understandable, considering you are playing the app for free.

Pros

  • Simple controls are easy to master
  • Quick matchmaking
  • Smart offline AI assistance

Cons

  • Bugs and glitches
  • Unreliable player report system

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang has a whopping 500+ million downloads! The game has become so widely loved that gamers have created their own professional league in the country.

If you’re someone who is starting out on being a gamer, we highly recommend playing Mobile Legends: Bang Bang because it’s very straight forward. The controls are easy to maneuver, which many people enjoy.

It only takes 10 seconds for you to match with other players, which is very important. This is a great feature because people are not willing to wait around for a game, especially if they’re pumped with adrenaline.

The smart offline AI (artificial intelligence) assistance allows the player to reconnect quickly in case of any disruptions with the connection. It’s very impressive to know that they are backed up by artificial intelligence.

We think Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is not as unique as other games but that does not mean it’s not worth checking out. It’s best played a group of friends so you can strategize better for your team.

This game is available in both iOS and Android. The price varies depending on the item that you will get, which means you have full control of the purchase – similar to the ones on the list, it enhances the game but you’re not paying to win.

However, we’re quite disappointed to learn that the gaming experience for this is not 100% smooth. We’re hoping that the developers would improve this to make sure every player has a good experience.

A common complaint from players is that the player report system is not reliable. Some people proposed giving probations such as suspension if a player violates the games’ guidelines.

Pros

  • Excellent design and concept
  • Interactive
  • Customizable game options

Cons

  • Limited maps
  • Unstable online infrastructure

Among Us became popular recently and has taken the online world by storm. We can tell that a lot of thought was put into making the game as we found the concept unique.

The whole premise of the game is that a group is assigned to do certain tasks while an “impostor” will be on a killing spree. The team will then discuss during an emergency meeting who they think is the killer and should be kicked out.

The graphics and design are very appealing to players since you can dress the characters up with a headpiece and name them. 

Besides the customization of the characters, you can also change the game settings to make it more intense. You can choose your preferred number of “impostors”, the length of the voting time, and the number of emergency meetings to name a few.

The game is very interactive since you can set up emergency meetings. So, you can discuss with your teammates who you’ll vote for as an impostor, which makes for a fun and entertaining group activity.

You can download the game for free for both iOS and Android. If you want to play it on Steam, you’ll need to pay $4.99, which we think is still affordable considering how enjoyable the game is.

One of the downsides of Among Us is that the map is very limited – it only has three maps. The tasks can feel repetitive if you are repeatedly chosen as a crewmate.

The biggest con here is that the online infrastructure is extremely unreliable. Even if you have a stable Internet connection, there are times when you’ll get kicked out of the game.

Pros

  • Educational tool
  • Immersive and interactive
  • Frequent updates

Cons

  • Expensive
  • Reports of online scamming

Minecraft is a sandbox game with over 10+ million downloads in the Play Store alone. This game is extremely popular with kids due to its graphics and game design.

One of the greatest features of Minecraft is that it can be used as an educational tool for kids. Many teachers use the Minecraft Education Edition to help teach students critical thinking, as well as collaboration and problem-solving skills.

Minecraft allows a player to freely express their creativity while testing their survival skills. They need to build shelters, use tools and even gauge their hunger meter, which is fun and interactive, as well as practical – no wonder kids love it!

It’s impressive that Minecraft updates their app regularly, which makes the game more exciting. Although, keep in mind that regular updates also mean space consumption on your device.

One of the most common complaints from users is that Minecraft can get very expensive quickly. The in-app purchases are quite pricey if you’re planning to buy skin packs, character packs and Minecraft Worlds.

You’ll also need to be careful when it comes to the online community as there are a lot of scammers waiting. If your kid is playing Minecraft, be sure that your credit card information is not shared with them.
