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.
FTL for iPad. Just a brilliant game through and through that makes the transition from desktop to tablet perfectly.
I looooove many of the Glitch games, like Forever Lost. If you haven’t played it, The Room is also a classic.
Yeah the Room games are great. I like how intuitively they use the touch controls.
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.
Seconded! Those are great.

Anyway it’s a turn-based dungeon crawler where your actions cost dice rolls. Multiple characters with very different gameplay mechanics, all in support of the core loop.
I highly recommend it. Probs put over 100 hours into this bad boi
Love Dicey Dungeons!
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.
Is ‘There Is No Game’ compatible with your iPad? That’s been one of my favorites!
Thank you for the tip!
