With most consoles gaining ground with their subscription platforms and Microsoft killing it with Xbox/PC Game Pass, Apple and Google both grabbed that idea and did their own thing. Google Game Pass just isn’t that great, but Apple Arcade features many exclusive big-budget titles. While the platform has a trickle of game releases, this was a solid year for the paltform. It helps show that Apple cares about quality mobile gaming and controller support.

Punishing Gray Raven

Gray Raven is a fantastic action game with stunning visuals for a mobile game. It has fun characters, a fast-paced and crazy fun combat system, and overall features a nice anime style story. While it’s nothing mind-blowing compared to console games, it is still a great feat on the system with controller support to boot.
