Going on a trip for the next few days and will have plenty of downtime in the hotel room on my iPad. What are your favorite ipad games?

I have the 9th gen, so games like Divinity Original Sin 2 are out :(

    There was a new version of the original Myst for the iPad that was promoted recently. For sure hours of fun and headaches in that one.

    Check out Pocket City 2 if you like city builders. It threads the needle of depth, but also acknowledging the limitations of a touchscreen interface.

    I don’t normally use iOS devices so when I borrow my friend’s ancient iPad it is to play a couple of digital boardgame implementations that are available for iOS but not Android: Finished!, Dead Man’s Draw and Zombie Dice. So I guess those are my favorites. Probably not very relevant for most :)

    Finished! in particular is pretty addictive and very satisfying when you finally get that win.

    if you like puzzle games, the Rusty Lake/Cube Escape series of games are pretty cool. They give off a sort of Twin Peaks vibe, if you’re into that.

    The Room games are great puzzle/escape room type things where you use the screen to rotate items, flip switches, drag things, etc; it’s very tactile and clearly built for a touch screen. Each one takes about 2-4 hours.

    Been playing through the ages for a few years now and it’s been a lot of fun. It’s got only one expansion and has a one time fee. No MTX, no ads, no requirement for online.

    I’d recommend playing with the expansions right away because they don’t overwhelm you or feel “harder” to play with; it just gives you more options while you play.
