The best games and the best games to play on repeat.
I was a part of the first generation to grow up from a young age with iPhones, I got my first iPhone, the iPhone 5, sometime early-on in middle school.
As such, I was really into finding and downloading interesting games. For the sake of ordering, I’ve made two sections, the first, Hands Down the Best Games, is the games that I would consider to be the best games, but I don’t return too that often, if ever, after finishing them
Hands Down the Best Games
1. Blackbox
Ryan McLeod created an absolute puzzle gem with this.
Price: free
2. Sometimes You Die
In a game, you die.
And imply that it has no effect on you.
You feel invincible in the realm behind the screen.
This one is different.
In this game, you have to die.
Phillip Stoyenmayer created an incredible story. Other non-story games of his include Okay?, Zip Zap, Get Hi, supertype, and Burger/Bacon/Pancake.
Price: $1.99

Monument Valley, published by ustwo Games.
- and Monument Valley 2

4. Dark Echo
Link to Dark Echo

5. Goat Simulator
Goat Simulator is a small, broken and stupid game.
And that’s what makes it so amazing.

The Best Games to Play on Repeat
1. PAKO - Car Chase Simulator
Pako seems to have faded into obscurity, I’m not sure if it ever hit mainstream, but it’s always the first game I return to. The driving mechanics are just right. I do wish it was more open, the android version lets you choose what car you use on each map.
There are other versions, PAKO Forever is free and PAKO2 is paid, but for me, neither touch PAKO.
Developed by Tree Men Games, and another game is Heli 100.
Price: $1.99
2. Polytopia
Honestly, this is the game I’ve probably dropped the most hours into and would be #1 if I wasn’t so burnt out that I can only play so much now.
Developed by Midjiwan.
Price: Free
3. Drop7
Like Tetris but in the 21st century.
Price: free
4. SuperHexagon
Someday I’ll beat the final level.
Developed by Terry Cavanagh, developer of Don’t Look Back, VVVVVV, and more.
Price: $2.99
