The Room Two

The stunning sequel to a previous Apple game-of-the-year winner asks you to solve a series of connected puzzles. Longer and more challenging than its predecessor, The Room Two will take you everywhere from a séance to the hold of a ship.

Hundreds

A stylish puzzle game that has you trying to grow your bubbles until they reach a collective value of 100. Every time you tap a bubble to grow it, it turns red — and if another bubble touches it during that time, you're dead.

Shadowrun Returns

Perhaps iOS isn't the first platform you'd think of when looking for an RPG, but Shadowrun Returns might change that. Kickstarted by fans of the SNES classic, it blends character customization, an engaging story line, great design, and a solid tactical-combat system with great aplomb.

Limbo

Limbo is a sad, brilliant game that you won’t soon forget. Pairing gorgeous, monochrome visuals, haunting environments, and unique puzzle-solving gameplay, it’s the rare game that’s casual but also tugs over and over on your heartstrings.

The Walking Dead

An uncommonly good adaptation from the popular television series offers you a chance to test your survival skills against the zombie hordes. New episodes of the game are released regularly, expanding the story and offering additional adventures.

Xcom: Enemy Unknown

What if army generals commanded their troops on iPads? In XCOM you control up to six troops as they fight off aliens. The game was made for consoles, but it’s complemented perfectly by touch controls that let you take cover, reload, and flank opponents. XCOM is one of the most challenging but rewarding games of the year.
