Gaming on mobile has been improving at a far greater rate than any technology that came before it. Android games seems to hit new heights every year. With the release of Android Nougat and Vulkan API, it only stands to get better and better over time. It won’t be long before mobile sees some even more impressive titles than we have now! Without further delay, here are the best Android games available right now! Fortnite should probably be on this list. However, many are squeamish about it not being on Google Play.
1.PUBG Mobile
Skydive down to Erangel Island, scavenge what you can, and kill, kill, kill in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Mobile. You’ll take on 99 other people with the same goal, but there can be only one victor. Controls are inevitably a little awkward until you get used to them, but this is a tense shooter that will suck you right in. There are loads of different weapons and pieces of gear littered around to scavenge, not to mention vehicles you can commandeer. There are also now four enormous maps to play on, each with their own weather and day and night cycles. If you don’t like playing solo there are duo and four-person squad options. This game also runs well on most Android phones and it’s good at scaling back the graphics for less capable devices.
2.Call of Duty: Mobile
One of the biggest FPS franchises around comes to mobile with a game deliberately designed for touchscreen firefights. If you love your shooter action, then this is a must on your Android phone. It’s free, features a bunch of multiplayer modes, including Battle Royale, and you’ll find some familiar classic maps and characters from other Call of Duty games. You can customize loadouts, get ranked, win prizes, and more. But more important than all of that is the fast, frenetic, satisfying gameplay and the great graphics which combine to make this the best mobile shooter around right now. Just be sure to check out our Call of Duty: Mobile tips before you dive into the fray.
3.Dragon Ball Legends
The Dragon Ball series has seen somewhat of a resurgence over the past few years, and Dragon Ball Legends capitalizes on that. The game is a lot of fun, especially if you’re a Dragon Ball fan, and it sees you fight through a series of different levels, collecting abilities and characters along the way. Tap and swipe to attack, move, or dodge and tap cards for special attacks and abilities; everything can be pulled off with a single finger. It’s also built to be played in portrait mode, which makes it easy to play on the road. There is also a PvP mode for real-time one on one fights with people around the world.
5.Pokemon GO
Pokemon GO exploded onto the mobile gaming scene in July 2016 and immediately became of the best Android games ever. It’s an augmented reality game similar to Ingress where you walk around the real world, catch Pokemon, complete little side missions, battle for Gyms, and hit up Pokestops to restock on items. It beat virtually every record in the books as the world’s most popular mobile game. Thanksfully, the game gets frequent updates with new features. Some more recent features include an AR camera mode, new Pokemon, and a bunch of other neat stuff. Niantic also launched Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, a Harry Potter AR game with similar mechanics.
5. Asphalt 9: legends
The Asphalt franchise has some of mobile’s most popular racing games. Asphalt 8: Airborne and Asphalt Xtreme were the big ones in the series. However, Asphalt 9: Legends came out in July 2018. This is the most recent game in the series now. It includes 50 cars, a bunch of challenges, and a bunch of content to play with. That includes online multiplayer, single player stuff, and more. It uses an auto-go mechanism so you can’t control your acceleration. That has angered some players. The graphics are good and there are social elements as well. It’s a freemium game. Thus, the online competitive aspect may be skewed a bit. However, the single player stuff is classically good arcade racing. You can also skip in-app purchases with extra grinding. It’s tedious but entirely doable.
Are you on the hunt for the best PS4 games? Then you’ve landed on the right page. The powerful PlayStation 4 console is, arguably, Sony’s greatest achievement to date. (Well, until the highly-anticipated PS5 arrives later this year that is.)
Regardless of whether you have the original PS4 console or the more advanced PS4 Pro, you need an exceptional collection of the best PS4 games to make the most of Sony’s fantastic console.
The good news is that many of Sony’s first-party titles are unrivalled. There’s the likes of Marvel’s Spider-Man, Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War exclusively available on the PlayStation 4. Not to mention upcoming exclusives, such as Ghost of Tsushima and The Last of Us: Part 2. You’ll also find a whole host of wonderful third-party titles on the platform from both AAA and indie developers.
But with so many top titles to pick from, it isn’t always easy to choose which games you should fill your PlayStation 4 library with. That’s why we’ve put together this list of the best PS4 games of all time – all of which are available to buy right now.
We’ve even included whether or not they support the PS4 Pro’s enhanced resolution and detail in 4K and HDR. If you’re lucky, some might even appear for free on PS Plus.
We’ve tried our best to include the best PS4 games from every genre, including indie, racing, action, shooter, adventure, and more. But if nothing here takes your fancy, check back in with us in a few weeks – with every new release we’re updating and revising our choices.
1.Apex Legends
Apex Legends is another contender vying for the battle royale crown. Developed by Respawn Entertainment and set in the Titanfall universe, Apex Legends is a squad-based battle royale shooter where teams of three go up against 57 other players to try to gather loot and be the last person (or squad) standing.
However, unlike Fortnite and PUBG, Apex Legends sees players take on a class, each represented by a unique character (imagine Fortnite mixed with Overwatch and you’ll be on the right track.)
Apex Legends is the perfect battle royale game for those who enjoy the genre’s premise but can’t get onboard with Fortnite’s building or PUBG’s competitiveness – and it’s free. Plus, different classes, abilities and limited-time events make for a more dynamic experience overall.
2.Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is the most recent addition to the epic Assassin’s Creed RPG franchise. Odyssey is set during the Peloponnesian War and sees you stepping into the sandals of either Alexios or Kassandra as they try to uncover the truth about their history while navigating the turbulent world of Ancient Greece as a mercenary.
Odyssey is a graphically stunning PS4 game which will take you to the heart of Ancient Greece – easily securing it a place in our collection of the best PlayStation 4 games. Just make sure you have the time to play it because there’s over 100 hours of content to enjoy here.
3.Control
The dark horse of 2019, Remedy Entertainment’s Control is an action-adventure with a difference.
Control sees you stepping into the shoes of Jessie Faden, the newest director of the clandestine Federal Bureau of Control (FBC) – a Government agency which researches, and ultimately aims to control, paranormal activity. But Jessie’s new role has a few issues not exactly laid out in the job description, including the uprising of a paranormal force known only as the Hiss.
The affinity with which Remedy has courted multiple difficult genres both in film and in games with Control and still managed to deliver a mind-bending story evocative of True Detective and Twin Peaks is absolutely remarkable.
“Control feels like what would happen if David Lynch licked a Petri dish full of Jungian psychology and SCP entries. The resulting hallucination would be Remedy’s latest mystery. It’s the videogame that connoisseurs of absurd cinema and the surreal have been waiting for.”
4.FIFA 20
FIFA is, for many console owners, a highly-anticipated annual event. The latest and arguably greatest instalment in the football sim series has arrived in the form of FIFA 20, and it’s straight into our list of the best PS4 games.
With this year’s iteration of the stalwart series, EA appears to have made some bold strides in the right direction, especially when it comes to giving players what they’ve been asking for in terms of game modes and statistical tinkering.
Add to that a fantastic new way to play in Volta, a light-hearted set of modes for couch co-op and some clever, nuanced gameplay tweaks that coax out a more fair and rewarding game of soccer, this is definitely not an inbetween year or an easy skip if you’re a franchise fan. In fact, it might be the best FIFA game in a good few years, achieved mainly by responding to fan feedback with healthy design decisions.
Fortnite has had a meteoric rise since its release in 2017, and it’s not hard to see why. The free-to-play battle royale PS4 game offers players an energetic and enjoyable online multiplayer experience, and throwing in some building mechanics to set it aside from its competitors.
Fortnite has become somewhat of a pop culture phenomenon, and it’s not hard to see why: it’s fun, fast-paced and everyone seems to be playing it. More importantly, it has a concept that almost anyone can get to grips with: just be the last person standing.
Constant content updates keep Fortnite feeling fresh nearly two years since its launch so it easily gets a place on the best PlayStation 4 games list.
6.Grand Theft Auto V
Not only is it the best sandbox game on the PlayStation 4 platform, GTA V is also the best golf game, the best tennis sim, the undisputed virtual yoga champ, one of the best racers… it’s even a pretty serviceable MMO.
We’re used to scale and scope from Grand Theft Auto, but what Trevor, Franklin, and Michael bring us is a staggeringly well-realised city seen from three entirely different perspectives.
Trevor, the maniacal rampage killer whom we discover to be in all of us when we play a Rockstar game; Franklin, the classic rags-to-riches character with street smarts and the ability to pull off a bandana; and Michael, the troubled criminal with a dysfunctional family and a beer gut to show for his life of violence.
If campaign isn’t for you, then there’s a free online multiplayer mode -GTA Online – that you can essentially use as your own chaotic virtual playground.
However you play GTA V – a multiplayer muckabout, a story-driven third-person actioner, a flight sim – it reveals itself to be the best game on both this generation and the last. One of the very best PS4 games.
7.God of War
One of the most highly anticipated PlayStation 4 exclusives of 2018, God of War definitely lived up to the hype. Taking Kratos from Greek to Norse mythology, making him a father, and focusing on narrative as well as completely revamping combat has made God of War a welcome refresh for the franchise.
In our God of War review, we called the title “the best game in the series” for many reasons, but the stand-out is that this is a game with heart and it’s not to be missed if you’re interested in the best PS4 games. We’re hoping that a God of War sequel is on the cards.
8.Overwatch
Overwatch has without a doubt been one of our favorite multiplayer games to come out in the past few years – and we’re expecting Overwatch 2 to be just as good.
It’s a classic team arena shooter from Blizzard, setting two six-person teams of wildly different characters against each other in a bright and cartoonish science fiction universe.
Great graphics, tight maps, and a good roster of characters to enjoy playing. Overwatch is good old fashioned fun and we thoroughly recommend it.
9.Resident Evil 2 Remake
Capcom’s remake of survival horror classic Resident Evil 2 has gone down a storm with fans and newcomers alike, and it’s no surprise. With gorgeous new graphics but the same brain-scratching puzzles and terrifying zombies, Resident Evil 2 is definitely a remake done right.
10.Marvel’s Spider-Man
Swinging its way onto our best PS4 games list, Marvel’s Spider-Man is likely the best comic book-based video game in the entire PS4 library by a country mile (sorry, Batman: Return to Arkham).
While Arkham did a great job bringing the brooding caped crusader to life on our home consoles, it failed to provide us any insight about Bruce Wayne’s actual life when he takes off the cowl.
This is different, if only because it shows us two sides of the same hero – the affable Peter Parker and the heroic, self-sacrificing Spider-Man – in the same game. Tie into that the best traversal mechanics since Spider-Man 2 on the PS3, and you have all the markings of a spectacular (and dare we say AMAZING) Spider-Man game.
With current generations raised on the lightning-fast processing speeds and crystal clear graphics of Xboxes and PlayStations (and with the tide of virtual reality-based video games fast approaching), it’s easy to forget that just 50 years ago, digital gaming existed in only a few laboratories around the world, the experiments of unknown Ph.D. students or well-known scientists and mathematicians who’d made their name in more traditional fields.
Today, video games are an entrenched part of our cultures and routines. According to the Entertainment Software Association, 59% of Americans played video games in 2013. That same year, consumers spent $21.5 billion on video games, the association reported.
Gamers today aren’t only packs of teenage boys, either. The average American game player is 31 years old and 48 percent of all American gamers are women, the ESA reports.
From the laboratory to arcades and, later, onto shelves and into the cloud, video games have rapidly and radically evolved in the past half century. Here’s a peek back at how it all happened and a glimpse of what’s to come.
1. 1889 – Nintendo is founded, and its first ventures aren’t PG
Fusajiro Yamauchi founds Nintendo Co. in Japan, but the company doesn’t sell video games yet. Instead, for decades, it creates playing cards and later, in the 1960s, it experiments with a few extremely eclectic business ventures — vacuums, instant rice and short-stay hotels — for you know whom.
2. 1972 – Magnavox Odyssey, the first home console
Magnavox releases Odyssey, the first video game console that plugs into a television, based on Ralph Baer’s Brown Box design. The console features 12 games, including one called Ping Pong. Baer, who died in 2014, becomes known as the father of video games.
3.1978 – Space Invaders arrive
Space Invaders, released by Taito, becomes an international sensation, first in Japan, and later in the U.S.. Released first in arcade format, Space Invaders leads to a shortage of 100-yen coins in Japan. Some arcades open just so teens can play the game. Space Invaders releases for the Atari 2600 in 1980 and goes on to generate more than $500m in revenue throughout its lifetime.
4. 1989 – Game Boy catapults the portable gaming industry
Nintendo’s iconic 8-bit, hand-held Game Boy invade gamers’ palms, already packaged with Tetris. Over the years, the Game Boy is revamped as Game Boy Pocket and Game Boy Color. To date, Nintendo has sold more than 400 million portables.
4.1995 – Sega Saturn vs. Sony Playstation
Sega introduces Saturn, the first system with 32-bit graphics and a built-in modem. The same year, Sony releases the PlayStation, which is comparable to Saturn and sells for $100 less. The PlayStation eventually sells more units than the Saturn. Most Playstation games are 3-D and because they’re disk-based, they’re cheaper to produce and more affordable for consumers. Gran Turismo and Resident Evil become popular titles on PS.
5.1999 – Sega’s last hurrah
Sega releases the Dreamcast, which is the first console capable of online play and the company’s last console. Saddled with debt and succumbing to competition from Sony, Nintendo and, soon, Microsoft, Sega pivots to become a third-party software developer
6. 2000 – PlayStation 2 sends shockwaves with stunning graphics
Sony releases the PlayStation 2. At 128 bits, it has better graphics than a computer, as well as DVD technology. Grand Theft Auto is native to the PS2 and becomes a massive hit.
7. 2001 – Microsoft fires back with the Xbox
Microsoft unveils the Xbox at CES in a keynote presentation by Bill Gates. The device features PC technology, an Ethernet port, an 8 GB hard drive and the ability to play DVDs. Its Halo: Combat Evolved game is instantly popular and becomes Xbox’s flagship game franchise. The next year, Xbox introduces Xbox Live, which allows gamers to compete with users around the world.
8. 2005 – The Xbox 360 picks up where the Xbox left off
Microsoft unveils the Xbox 360. It will later leap ahead of the competition, namely the Nintendo Wii and the Playstation 3, largely because of Halo 3’s astonishing commercial success and critical acclaim. Xbox ends up getting simultaneous release for numerous games that were originally slated for a PlayStation 3 release. At one time, Xbox 360 has almost a 2-1 software attach rate advantage (the metric used to quantify how many games are sold on average to a user per system) over PS3 and Wii.
9.2006 – Sony and Microsoft go head-to-head
Sony releases the PlayStation 3, which allows users to play Blu-Rays and stream movies and music to their system. The PS3 also connects to gamers’ PlayStation Portable consoles and, most notably to many users, offers free online gameplay without a subscription.
10. 2013 – The Xbox One, the third Xbox, finally arrives
Xbox releases Xbox One with cloud integration and ability to overlay live TV. The console also has voice integration and an improved Kinect sensor.
11. 2013 – Sony fires back with the PS4
Sony releases the PlayStation 4 with an emphasis on social game-play using a new share button and second-screen gaming with smartphone connectivity. The PS4 is the top-selling console for much of 2014.
12. 2014 – Is Oculus Rift the future of gaming?
Facebook purchases Oculus VR, the company that makes Oculus Rift, a virtual reality headset that’s expected to be ready for consumers in the coming years.
