Best mobile games 2025 recommendations - what should I play?
|
Hey everyone, I'm looking for some fresh best mobile games 2025 recommendations. I feel like I've played everything good from previous years and need some new stuff to try.
What mobile games have you been enjoying this year that you'd consider must-plays? I'm interested in both premium games and free games as long as they're actually good. Bonus points if they have a fair business model and don't feel like cash grabs.
For best mobile games 2025 recommendations, I've been keeping a list of my favorites from this year:
1. Reverse 1999 - gacha game but with amazing production values and story
2. Wuthering Waves - if you like Genshin Impact, this is a great alternative
3. Zenless Zone Zero - from the Genshin devs, different style but excellent
4. Honkai Star Rail - technically 2023 but still getting major updates
For non-gacha, Dungeon Drafters came out this year and is a fantastic deckbuilding dungeon crawler.
My best mobile games 2025 recommendations would be:
- Hades (mobile port) - if this counts as 2025 release for mobile, it's absolutely must-play
- Balatro mobile - poker roguelike that's incredibly addictive
- Animal Well - mysterious metroidvania that just came to mobile
- Cocoon - puzzle adventure from the lead designer of Limbo and Inside
These are all premium games but they're some of the highest quality experiences you can get on mobile right now.
As someone who reviews games professionally, here are my best mobile games 2025 recommendations:
1. The Rogue Prince of Persia - excellent action platformer from the Dead Cells devs
2. Dungeons of Hinterberg - unique RPG with puzzle-solving
3. Tales of Kenzera: ZAU - emotional metroidvania with great storytelling
4. Thank Goodness You're Here - weird and wonderful comedy game
These are all 2024/2025 releases that have mobile versions or are coming soon. The quality of mobile ports has gotten really good recently.
For budget-friendly best mobile games 2025 recommendations:
- Vampire Survivors - still getting updates and it's cheap
- Brotato - similar to Vampire Survivors but with more variety
- 20 Minutes Till Dawn - another great survivor-like game
- Soulstone Survivors - if you want more complexity
These are all under $5 and offer tons of gameplay. They're perfect examples of quality mobile gaming apps that don't break the bank.
Don't sleep on Apple Arcade if you have iOS. Some of the best mobile games 2025 are exclusive to that service:
- Hello Kitty Island Adventure - surprisingly deep and charming
- Japanese Rural Life Adventure - beautiful and relaxing
- What the Car? - absurd physics fun
- stitch. - creative puzzle game
The advantage is all these games have no ads or in-app purchases, so you get the complete experience for the subscription price.
