The best games apps. Chosen by the community.
422 games apps, chosen by the community. Top of this view: Monument Valley — #46 overall. The overall rank spans all apps and changes with every vote. How the ranking works →
Games are the largest category in both app stores and also the one where recommendations go stale fastest. People looking for the best game apps are rarely after the one with the most downloads, but after one that is still fun half an hour in.

The biggest difference today is the business model. A game can cost money once and be complete after that — or start free and hide its scope behind energy bars, loot boxes and ad breaks. Then the usual questions: does it work offline, on a train? Is touch control reliable, or does it really want a gamepad? Is there a save file that survives a new device? And for games aimed at children: how easily do you end up on a purchase button by accident?
The order here comes only from community upvotes and downvotes. Negative votes stay visible on purpose — with games they often say more than a high star rating from the first days after launch.
