It's safe to say that we won't be seeing The Elder Scrolls 6 anytime soon. But fear not, as GameCentral has got you covered with their review of Bethesda's latest mobile game, The Elder Scrolls: Castles. And that's not all, as indie hit Balatro has finally made its way to smartphones this month, along with the crowdfunded idle game Cube Farm.
Let's start with Machine Yearning, a free game available on iOS and Android. The premise is simple – you're given a set of blocky symbols and colors, and you have to come up with words to match them. As the rounds progress, you'll be asked to define more and more words and colors, putting your memory to the test. The game is filled with cute sound effects and bonuses, but beware, you'll need to make a microtransaction to unlock all the goodies.
Moving on to The Elder Scrolls: Castles, also available on iOS and Android for free. If you've played Fallout Shelter, you'll find the gameplay familiar – you play as the ruler of a castle in need of renovation. Your goal is to balance your resources and keep your people happy by making decrees, adding rooms, and managing your supplies of grain and oil. While the game may look unique with its eccentric castle designs, the gameplay itself is quite repetitive and unoriginal.
Now let's talk about Balatro, a game that requires a one-time purchase of £9.99 or can be played through an Apple Arcade subscription. This deck-building roguelite game uses poker hands as the basis for its gameplay and is designed with a charming 16-bit art style. It's a real gem for Apple Arcade subscribers, but it's also available for purchase on the App and Google Play stores for non-subscribers.
Next up is Unforeseen Incidents Mobile, a point-and-click adventure game priced at £4.99 for iOS and Android. The game follows the story of a character who must navigate a mysterious fever that makes people bleed from various orifices. The game is filled with clever puzzles and witty dialogue, making it a delight to play despite the absence of a button that shows interactive objects on screen.
If you're a Netflix subscriber, you might want to check out Monument Valley, a game that's now included in the list of subscriber games. This game involves guiding a tiny figure through levels that involve perspective-shifting, reminiscent of the popular game Ico. And for those eagerly awaiting the release of Monument Valley 3 in December, this is the perfect opportunity to revisit the first two games.
Last but not least, we have Cube Farm, a free game available on iOS and Android. This game is all about incremental farming, where you start with a 3x3 grid and gradually expand to larger grids. The game is simple and relaxing, with microtransactions that are not necessary for gameplay.
