    Patterned

    Three word review: Mindful jigsaw puzzles

    Patterned is a jigsaw puzzle game. You start off with a pencil sketch and
    have to reinsert the full-colour pieces into place. Its a great one to try if the world is getting you down and you need a little zen restored. Pilgrims (Editor's Pick) (Image credit: Amanita Design)

    Three word review: Charming card adventure

    A hand-drawn adventure from the folks behind Machinarium. You pick up cards that represent items. These are used to solve puzzles throughout your
    travels. Quirky as they come, and a great fit for both iPhone and iPad, you can finish Pilgrims in roughly an hour. Its a good way to spend part of an evening. Populus Run

    Three word review: Follow the crowd

    This fairly new addition to the Apple Arcade library is an endless running game in which you must control a big ol' crowd of people. The visuals are brilliant, think being stuck inside a giant pink marshmallow, and it isn't just about running, there are all kinds of other things to do like jump down slides, battle rapper bosses and more. Possessions.

    Three word review: Its about perspective

    This quick and clever puzzler plays with 3D space. In each scene youll see objects that appear to be disjointed, or floating in the air. You have to
    move the camera so they appear to be in the right place. Its a relaxing play with a strong sense of visual style. Projection: First Light

    Three word review: Shadow puppet theatre

    A platformer with an eerie vibe and a story behind it. You play as Greta, a girl travelling through a fairy tale-like shadow puppet land. She's accompanied by legendary heroes from different cultures and must control
    light and learn how to manipulate it along the way. There are puzzles to
    crack and enemies to beat along the way. Punch Planet

    Three word review: Sci-fi street fighter

    Punch Planet is a one-on-one fighting game in the vein of Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat. You dont see too many of those on iOS. Rayman Mini (Image credit: apple arcade)

    Three word review: Auto-run Raymond

    Like several of the more recent Rayman games, Rayman Mini is an auto-run platformer. This keeps the pace up, making you tear through its
    lovingly-drawn vistas at speed. Really Bad Chess+

    Three-word review: No rules chess

    Its chess, but really bad chess. When you begin, youre given random chess pieces to play. For example, how about using four queens in a game, why not? This is an excellent twist on the classic board game, which is a fun
    challenge for chess-lovers and anyone interested in strategy games. Redout: Space Assault

    Three word review: Beautiful bogey blaster

    A pretty 3D space shooter. Blast your way through levels and upgrade your
    ship with new shields and weapons. Red Reign

    Three word review: Strategy made simple

    A mobile-friendly strategy game from Ninja Kiwi, the developer behind the hugely popular Bloons TD games. Its no wonder Red Reigns simplified real-time strategy has a more than hint of tower defense flavor. Reigns

    Three word review: Keep your throne

    Created by the brilliant indie developer Devolver Digital, Reigns is a fun, historical strategy game with events that span centuries. The game allows you to live out your dreams as a medieval monarch as you handle a gauntlet of requests from advisors, peasants, enemies and allies. But these requests come with many serious implications and deadly consequences that could put your reign and family at risk. Reigns: Beyond

    Three word review: Rockstars use Tinder

    The story: you are a rock band travelling to different planets to raise your profile through the galaxy. The reality: gameplay involves swiping left or right on decision cards. There are also rhythm game-adjacent sections where you drag your guitar across the screen to hit the right notes. It all sounds
    a bit bizarre, but makes sense in context. Just about. Roundguard

    Three word review: Peggle dungeons

    Ever played Peggle? You shoot a ball into an arrangement of blocks you need
    to bash and hope for the best. Roundguard takes this Pachinko concept and
    adds to it, making every level a dungeon complete with enemies, mana potions and healing potions. Different characters have their own abilities, too,
    which can be fired-off mid-air. Samurai Jack

    Three word review: Late 90s action

    Samurai Jack is reminiscent of the 3D platformers of a few console
    generations ago. Of course, its much more likely to appeal to a slightly younger audience, those fans of the TV series this game is based around. Sayonara Wild Hearts (Editor's Pick) (Image credit: Annapurna Interactive)

    Three word review: Rhythm gone wild

    This hypnotic, entrancing rhythm game is a must-play, even if you think youll end up bouncing right off its play style. The visuals and music are quite something to behold. While the fireworks are going off, you control your character by dragging across the screen to collect objects. Its best played with a controller as, judging by our playthrough on iPad, the touch controls arent great. Scrappers

    Three word review: Streets of Trash

    A garbage-themed side-scrolling beat em up in the vein of Streets of Rage, complete with a soundtrack that wouldnt seem out of place in that era. Thats no trash talk, by the way. Secret Opps!

    Three word review: AR awkwardness

    Want to try iOS augmented reality? Secret Oops! isnt a bad place to start.
    The aim is to protect a spy as he goes about his sneaky business. Shantae and the Seven Sirens

    Three word review: Lauded retro platforming

    This is the fifth game in the Shantae series, which is a boon for those who wish game companies had never stopped making the 16-bit platformers that stuffed shelves back in the 90s. Shinsekai into the Depths

    Three word review: Underwater Metroidvania

    Capcoms Shinsekai into the Depths takes exploration elements of the Metroid and Castlevania games and slots them into a beautiful (if kinda creepy) underwater environment. ShockRods

    Three word review: Flying car carnage

    Shockrods is a 3D action-packed car deathmatch game where the cars can launch into the air using the equivalent of a jetpack. Silly chaotic fun. Simons Cat - Story Time

    Three word review: Cats and puzzles

    Help Simon and his cat in this matching puzzle game. By completing the puzzles, youll earn stars to unlock the next phase of the story and win coins to purchase helpful game boosts thatll assist you in completing challenging levels. Skate City (Image credit: apple arcade)

    Three word review: Become Tony Hawk

    Control your skateboard on this touch-interactive game. Learn new tricks and skills to become a master skateboarder while immersing yourself in the beautiful cities of LA, Barcelona and Miami. Then put all of your skills to the test in challenge mode. Slash Quest!

    Three word review: Gigantic sword silliness

    This one is slightly hilarious. You wield a talking sword that can grow in length in Slash Quest!, and rather than controlling your character directly
    as such, you control which way the sword points - and you head in that direction. It doesnt have the depth of a Zelda-a-like, but makes up for it in sheer cuteness. Sneaky Sasquatch

    Three word review: Furry stealth antics

    Sneak around town as the hirsute mythical Sasquatch, raiding peoples picnics for goodies. Dripping in character. Sociable Soccer 2020

    Three word review: Traditional football, lads

    Sociable Soccer 2020 is a football game for people who like football. So if you like football, give it a go. Others are more likely to appreciate the
    less strait-laced approach to the sport. Solitaire by MobilityWare +

    Three word review: Simply just solitaire

    This is simple solitaire, with daily challenges, customization options, personal leaderboards and statistics. Solitaire Stories

    Three word review: Storylines for solitaire?

    Its nothing more than solitaire, but now with an exciting and difficult storyline, global challenges and customization options. SongPop Party

    Three word review: Guess the song

    SongPop Party is a fun, music-based trivia game. Play with family and friends to find out who has the most outstanding musical knowledge by guessing the song. In arena mode, you can challenge other players online in a music trivia frenzy. Sonic Racing (Image credit: apple arcade)

    Three word review: Mario Kart-a-like

    A Mario Kart-style racer featuring Marios old nemesis Sonic. Its one to try
    if you want something other than Mario Kart Tour, although that games
    dynamics are mostly better than this ones. South of the Circle

    Three word review: Engaging adventure

    South of the Circle is a cinematic narrative-led adventure with animations that look almost rotoscoped. Dont come expecting the most involved, advanced gameplay, but if you want an engaging, well-told story it is well worth trying. Offers around 4 hours of play. Spaceland

    Three word review: Space Marine war

    A turn-based isometric strategy game. Its a little like X-Com, but the simplified game dynamics make each level something of a puzzle to solve.
    Speed Demons

    Three word review: Speed racer

    A top-down racing game focused on giving you a sense of speed and traffic-based peril. Spek.

    Three word review: Clever, simple puzzler

    Spek. looks dead simple in screenshots. A ball travels along a line to pick
    up other objects. But it is a little smarter than that. Each levels line is actually the outline of a 3D model that can be turned around to let the ball, our protagonist, reach new areas. Spelldrifter (Image credit: apple arcade )

    Three word review: Strategy card game

    A turn-based battle game with a card deck mechanic thrown in. The cards look like theyve been taken straight out of Magic the Gathering thanks to their fetching artwork. SpellTower+

    Three word review: Scrabble and Tetris

    Combine Scrabble and Tetris and youll get SpellTower. Letters rise from the bottom of the screen, and youll need to find the words as they appear. But
    act fast, if letters make it to the top row, the game is over. Sp!ng

    Three word review: Keep on swinging

    Swing, swing and swing some more in this one-button, calming puzzle game. Avoid obstacles and progress to the next stage in over 250 levels and other daily challenges. Earn new characters and unlock secret challenge modes by getting a perfect score. Spidersaurs

    Three word review: Thrills from 1995

    If its still the mid-90s in your heart, you might like Spidersaurs. This action platformer has visuals and sound inspired by 90s cartoons and the
    games we used to play on Genesis and SNES. Spire Blast

    Three word review: Destruction trumps creation

    Spire Blast looks like a tower building game. It's the opposite. You use the familiar colour-matching mechanic to zap blocks, firing balls into the brickwork. The aim is to take down the tower as soon as possible. SpongeBob: Patty Pursuit (Image credit: Old Skull Games)

    Three word review: Audiovisual Spongebob perfection

    Patty Pursuit doesn't re-write the rulebook. Its a fairly familiar simplified platformer, but it nails its graphics and sound. This one should appeal to
    all the SpongeBob fans out there. And who doesnt love SpongeBob? Spyder

    Three word review: Pretty robot-spy adventure

    Crawl around detailed 3D environments as a spider-like spy robot, alongside plenty of cartoony characters. This wouldnt look out of place on console. We recommend using a pad if you can, though, as we found the touch controls tricky at times. Star Fetched

    Three word review: Visually distinctive platforming

    This game looks a little different to everything else on Apple Arcade. Thick outlines provide a specific cartoonish style, which works well with the space adventure story. Definitely one for fans of the side-scroller genre. Star Trek: Legends (Image credit: Apple Arcade)

    Three word review: A Trekkies delight

    A real treat for Star Trek fans, the basic premise behind Star Trek: Legends is that the Nexus that big energy ribbon that deems time and space meaningless has brought together all of your most beloved characters in a
    new ship designed to enter it. Ignore whether that makes sense and revel in the chance to discover new worlds and recruit from more than 40 characters spanning most of the major franchises, like The Next Generation, Voyager and Picard. Stela

    Three word review: 2D cinema club

    Were not short of platform games on Apple Arcade. But Stela stands out, because its dripping in atmosphere. You can see some of this in screenshots, with all that sepia charm and fog. Youll need to play to experience its wonderful music, which adds a sense of dread to its monster encounters. Stellar Commanders

    Three word review: One-on-one war games

    This is a sci-fi strategy game, a one-on-one battle against another AI
    player. Planets are split into Risk-like zones, which you need to conquer to win.If you want a slower, more thoughtful game this one's for you. Stranded Sails

    Three word review: Survival buildem up

    You're stranded on a deserted island. How do you survive? By building copious amounts of stuff, of course. This mostly boils down to farming for food. Combat is introduced later down the line, too. Sudoku Simple+

    Three word review: Sudoku but fun

    Designed for players who love the idea of Sudoku but find it too complex or tedious. Colors are added to this game, which the creators believe will
    better train your brain to spot number patterns and inject more fun into the Sudoku. As you get used to the game, you can amp up the difficulty. Super Impossible Road

    Three word review: Hectic ball balancing

    Super Impossible Road is a racing game that puts you in control of a glowing ball rather than a car. The tracks snake around like a rollercoaster, but theres little gravity to keep you stuck to them, so more than half the challenge is not flying off into oblivion. Or at least using the physics to make a cheeky shortcut. Super Leap Day (Image credit: apple arcade)

    Three word review: Fun retro platformer

    A sequel to the original Leap Day, Super Leap Day is a colorful and fun game with a retro vibe. Its a platform game, so you need to run, jump, blast through blocks, avoid traps, and collect prizes along the way. You can play
    as different characters to test their special powers, like floating with an inflatable head or sticking to walls. The aim is to complete each level and collect a gold cup at the end. A new level is added each day to keep the game fresh. Super Mega Mini Party

    Three word review: Fun with friends

    A mini-game collection with bright, colorful 3D graphics. Like almost every mini-game library, Super Mega Mini Party is much better played with friends. Super Stickman Golf 3+

    Three word review: Golf with friends

    This 2D golf puzzle game features a range of different crazy courses where
    you can discover power-ups, collectible cards and wild game modes. You can play on your own or with up to 8 friends in multiplayer mode to battle it out in real-time and be in with a chance of bagging the virtual cup. Survival Z

    Three word review: Tense zombie blaster

    One of the newer additions to the Apple Arcade library, Survival Z is a
    zombie game that requires you to find any fellow survivors and work out how
    to kill the zombies threatening all of your lives. Routes are randomly generate and you must battle your way through lots of different environments that are crawling with zombies. Taiko no Tatsujin Pop Tap Beat

    Three word review: Beat the drum

    Taiko no Tatsujin is a traditional Japanese drumming rhythm game thats been redesigned for Apple Arcade. Ideal for those who like simple music
    challenges, you have to tap the drum in sync with the notes. Each attempt
    will be ranked, and you fill the Soul Gauge the better you do. Although the premise might sound simple, there are many different modes, difficulty levels and costumes to collect to keep gameplay fresh and fun. Takeshi and Hiroshi

    Three word review: Tear-jerker

    Takeshi makes games for fun. His brother Hiroshi ends up in hospital and Takeshi decides to make him games to cheer him up. The story, told in claymation interludes, is the main draw here. But what a central conceit. Tales of Memo

    Three word review: Chest infection

    Open up a chest. Then try to open up another chest with the same number
    inside to clear the pair. Its that old memory game conceit, back in Apple Arcade form. Tangle Tower (Image credit: apple arcade)

    Three word review: A knotty mystery

    Put together clues and solve puzzles to untangle the knots in this murder mystery story. An adventure that truly feels made for the touchscreen. Temple Run Puzzle Adventure

    Super popular Temple Run returns with a new Apple Arcade game thats got hundreds upon hundreds of levels of colour and shape matching puzzles. Each puzzle helps the main character, adventurer, archaeologist and Temple Runner Scarlett Fox, overcome obstacles in her path and brings her closer to unlocking the secrets of ancient sites and temples. Tetris Beat

    Three word review: Block stacking beats

    This is the Tetris you already know and love but with a thumping soundtrack
    of tunes from artists like Alison Wonderland, GARZA, Hannah Diamond and Octo Octa, which add a bassy rhythm to your block stacking and update every month. If you manage to stick to the beat, you can ramp up your score, but you can also select Marathon mode to pick your own music for a more classic Tetris experience. The Bradwell Conspiracy

    Three word review: Puzzling walking sim

    The Bradwell Conspiracy is a walking sim on the face of it. 3D first-person perspective. Check. Mystery to unwind. Check. But there are some more challenging puzzles here than in plenty of other walking sims. The College Atlas

    Three word review: Monochrome meditation

    Walk through a pretty monochrome world, collecting pieces of images and words floating in the air to complete cod-philosophical collages in each area. This one may not be for everyone, but it weaves a particular spell that may draw you into its enigmatic world. The Enchanted World

    Three word review: Slide, slide, slide

    The Enchanted World is a slider puzzler with a pretty layer of fantasy gloss on top, giving you another reason to keep playing. The Get Out Kids

    Three word review: One for readers

    This is a visual game with chapters that are interspersed with a range of logic puzzles. Set in 1984, two friends go on a rescue mission to find their dog, Moses. Each chapter unfolds in a 3D diorama and there are 7 new arcade mini games to play too. The Last Campfire (Image credit: Hello Games)

    Three word review: Mournful but magical

    Theres a soulful loneliness to The Last Campfire that gives its shadowed
    world a sense of magic. Its a lovely game, brought together by a rather wonderful voice over narration and affecting score. The gameplay is based around light puzzling, with either tap-to-navigate controls or a virtual joystick. But the emphasis on storytelling gives this game an unusual weight. Recommended. The Lullaby of Life

    Three word review: Musical adventure

    A puzzler-adventure that looks like a goofy kids game, but has hidden depths. Its aural soundscapes are much more like those of the navel-gazing games critics tend to love. Music also features in the puzzle-solving, as locks require different note combinations from the sounds you and companions you meet can make. The Mosaic

    Three word review: Loneliness of crowds

    A dark and surreal adventure about the loneliness of cities. For those who want games with some story and meaning rather than anything upbeat or fast-paced. The Oregon Trail

    Three word review: Its adventure time

    Based on a series of educational games, this version is designed for Apple Arcade. The idea is, youre making a trip from Missouri to Oregon in the late 1800s and learning all about the nature, trail and people you meet along the way. But youll need to manage your inventory, take care of your wagon, see to the health and morale of the people youre travelling with, and much more
    some events are procedurally selected, so each play feels fresh.
    The_Otherside

    Three word review: Fantasy board game

    A turn-based strategy game in which you battle creatures from another dimension and juggle action points to make sure you're not caught short. Its presented like a classic board game, which is nice. The Pathless

    Three word review: Where am I?

    An open-world game from the creators of Abzu, a highly directed and kinda magical experience. Is this one as good? Theres certainly more to explore,
    and a willingness to do so is key to enjoying this singular title. Go in with an open mind, but you can always look online if you end up with no idea as to what youre meant to do. The Pinball Wizard

    Three word review: Pinball dungeon crawler

    What a mash-up. This is pinball, in which your ball becomes the weapon to
    take out rooms of fantasy-themed nasties. It's certainly strange, but it
    kinda works. The Room Two+ (Image credit: fireproof studios)

    Three word review: Creepy pocket puzzler

    The Room was an award-winning game and now its sequel, The Room Two+, brings all the best bits back for a new and mysterious escape room puzzle in your pocket. This game weaves a compelling story with gorgeous visuals,
    challenging puzzles, eerie audio and a super creepy atmosphere to delight
    fans of spooky stories. Its pick up and play design means you can easily
    catch up where you left off, but its one youll want to stay up all night to finish while hiding under the duvet, of course. The Survivalists

    Three word review: Retro Dont Starve

    You guessed it. The Survivalists is a survival game, in which you gather provisions and craft stuff to cobble together the makings of a miniature civilization. Things That Go Bump

    Three word review: Exorcist goes inanimate

    A rather strange game in which you possess inanimate objects, which then become your character in an all-on-all fighting game set in a suburban house. Threes!+

    Three word review: Simple sticky sums

    Slide number tiles around the screen to create three or numbers that are multiples of three. If this sounds achingly simple, wait until youre a few minutes in, Threes!+ is oddly addictive, and the more you slide the tiles around, the more you cant stop thinking in terms of three. Its a super sticky game for anyone with a soft spot for number puzzles who doesnt want anything too taxing on the brain. Thumper: Pocket Edition

    Three word review: Neon space racing

    High-energy, fast-paced and set to a booming soundtrack, Thumper: Pocket Edition is well worth downloading if you enjoy the thrill of racing games
    with a futuristic twist. There are no cars or cute go-karts here. Instead, youre a shiny space beetle hurtling along neon race tracks before facing big boss battles. The gorgeous graphics and sound create a Tron-like vibe thats both hypnotic and a massive adrenaline buzz. tint.

    Three word review: Mindful coloring-in

    A relaxing painterly puzzler that may even teach you a little about color theory. You must drag realistic-looking watercolour paint across the screen, blending colours to complete levels. Tiny Crossword+

    Three word review: Upgrade your vocab

    If you often buy a newspaper just to crack the crossword in the back, this game is for you. Tiny Crossword+ brings you access to thousands of crosswords and a fresh one is introduced every day with a different theme. If youre sick of mindless games that only require you to tap the screen, this is a refreshing change thatll get you thinking and improve your vocab while youre at it. Tiny Wings+ (Image credit: Apple Arcade)

    Three word review: Learn to fly

    Youre a tiny bird with tiny wings and need all the help you can get from rolling hills to push you up into the air and fly. The games goal is to keep moving, sliding and flying before the night rolls in behind you. One tap pushes you forward and up, which is why this game is mesmerising and oddly soothing. Especially because procedurally generated graphics mean each time you visit Tiny Wings+ land, youll see a different, colorful world unfold around you. Towaga: Among Shadows

    Three word review: Blast 'em up

    A shooter that vacillates between a single-stick and dual-stick style between levels. Journey through the jungle and fly through the skies as you wield light that destroys a big ol' bunch of demons hell-bent on killing you. It's fun to play and looks great, with visuals inspired by anime. Towers of Everland

    Three word review: Eye of beholder

    Craft weapons, fight enemies and rebuild the Great City. Towers of Everland
    is a grid-based dungeon crawler, the kind popular in the early 90s and made popular more recently by titles like Legend of Grimrock.There are endless variations to how gameplay will unfold, so play again and the action will still feel fresh. Transformers: Tactical Arena

    Three word review: Robots in di-cards

    Take part in real-time strategy battles against players worldwide using teams of your favorite characters from the Transformers series. Collect and level
    up different cards to build a squad that fits your playstyle to become the best player in the game. UFO on Tape: First Contact

    Three word review: X-Files lite

    This short adventure game sees you follow a tightly-scripted sequence in each level. Your control consists of operating your DSLR camera, to take pictures of UFOs and other phenomena to send to the fake news media. Hmm. Ultimate Rivals: The Rink

    Three word review: Super-speed ice hockey

    Fast paced ice hockey, played 3-on-3. Features, for some reason, players from the NBA, NFL and MLB, and others, as well as famous hockey stars. Unleash the Light (Image credit: apple arcade)

    Lapis Lazuli as you face off against two mysterious new Prism-wielding Gems. The story is co-written by Steven Universe creator Rebecca Sugar and even
    uses the series voice actors. Various Daylife

    Three word review: For JRPG fans

    This is one of the more specialist games on Apple Arcade at the time of writing. Its a JRPG, but not the kind you may have played before, as its made for shorter play sessions. Warp Drive

    Three word review: Hover racing deluxe

    Warp Drive is a futuristic racer where the cars hover and the environments
    fly past at 1000mph when you hit a warp boost. Not the most exciting racer ever designed in terms of feel, but not bad. Way of the Turtle

    Three word review: Turtle vs Sonic

    An accessible platformer suitable for all ages. You need to help two turtles stranded on an island find one another. There are difficult obstacles to overcome and evil magic in the island that transforms creatures into
    monsters. Make friends with island natives that will help you on your quest. What the Golf? (Image credit: The Label)

    Three word review: Hilarious non-golf mania

    One of the few games those who have never used Apple Arcade may already know. What the Golf? is hugely inventive, throwing away all the conventions of a golf game. Much more than just a silly gag, What the Golf? even ends up
    having some of the sensibility of Valve's Portal games. Whod have thought it? The one bit that is golfy: you flick back on the screen to choose your swing strength. Dont miss it. Where Cards Fall

    Three word review: Arty-looking puzzler

    A stylish puzzler with emotional story sections between its levels.Build houses of cards to work your way through memories and navigate dreamlike puzzles. It's a great-looking game with more than 50 different puzzles to challenge you. Winding Worlds

    Three word review: Short, charming puzzler

    Use different moves and gestures to manipulate and turn the globes of Winding Worlds levels. That's how you solve the different puzzles you'll encounter along the way. It's a light and cute game that's easy to pick up and play whenever. Wonderbox: The Adventure Maker (Editors Pick) (Image credit: Apple Arcade)

    Three word review: Captain Toad maker

    If youve enjoyed the diorama based gameplay of Captain Toad but hungered to make your own levels, thats what you get with Wonderbox: The Adventure Maker. The story campaigns are a little short, but there are thousands of player creations to explore, and thanks to various in-game tools, youll be able to create a narrative through the levels you make. World Laces

    Three word review: Simple word matching

    Match up letters and pairs of letters to make words that match the pictures
    in each scene. Its simple, but may be just the light brain stimulation youre after. World of Demons

    Three word review: Become the samurai

    Platinum Games is known for major PC and Console action games, like Nier Replicant and the Bayonetta series, and theyve brought all their expertise to World of Demons. This hack and slash adventure brings their flashy action to iOS devices as you take on the role of a samurai on a quest against evil. World's End Club

    Three word review: Underwater battle royale

    With a plot similar to classic movie Battle Royale, its no great surprise
    this game is mostly about the plot. You get to interact with 12 characters, our group of pre-teen survivors. Gameplay seems basic, but the Japanese voice acting sounds neat. Wurdweb

    Three word review: Infinite word puzzles

    This game is like Scrabble, but instead of letters, youre given whole words, and your goal is to place a certain number of them on the board without running out of words or space. Its simple but perfect for keeping your brain active on a lazy afternoon and thanks to its intelligent algorithm, it
    boasts youll never run out of puzzles to solve. Yaga The Roleplaying Folktale

    Three word review: Unusual folksy RPG

    A role-playing game set in a world of Slavic folk tales. This gives it quite
    a different vibe to other RPGs on Apple Arcade.At times it's darkly funny and has a Romanian hip-hop soundtrack. Zen Pinball Party

    Three word review: Virtual classic pinball

    Zen are experts at creating virtual pinball machines, and Pinball Party is no exception. The game features a massive range of tables with a healthy mix of Zens own creations, tables based on popular franchises and even classic Williams pinball tables.

    This is a fun mix of pinball and castle defense. Zombies attack your stronghold. You bash them with the ball and flippers. There are even RPG elements, with a map screen to head between missions and loot-based upgrades. Zookeeper World

    Three word review: Low-key zoo builder

    Zookeeper World blends match-three puzzles with a chill zoo simulator that is much less restrictive than the free-to-play game version. With a cute art style that looks like its been lifted from the Nintendo DS era, youll be playing for hours and hours as you work to clear its over 200 levels.
