Mobile games, played and reviewed

We install, play, and then write about mobile games across every genre — puzzles, RPGs, strategies and arcades. No hype, just the parts that worked and the parts that annoyed us. Fresh from our desk: we recently spent a week with Lucky Coins.

Why us

We actually play

Nothing gets reviewed from a trailer. If our name is on it, someone here sat through the game with a phone in hand.

No paid scores

Ratings reflect what we thought, full stop. Nobody can buy a higher number from us.

Every genre welcome

Puzzles, RPGs, strategies, arcades — we don't stick to one lane, and we don't judge a genre before trying it.

Editor’s pick

Ember Hollow
RPG/ролевая

Ember Hollow

★★★★★ 4.6

Ember Hollow packs a surprising amount of RPG into a phone. You build a party of four, each with skill trees that actually branch in meaningful ways, and the turn-based combat rewards planning over button-mashing. I spent a whole evening just optimising my healer's kit.

  • Deep skill trees that reward experimenting
  • Turn-based combat with real tactics
  • Clean map that avoids fiddly controls

Questions & answers

How do you choose which games to review?

We watch what players are talking about, browse store listings, and follow tips from readers. Popularity gets a game on our radar, but the final call is whether someone here finds it interesting enough to play through.

Do developers pay you for reviews?

No. Nobody pays for a review or a score, and no amount of money moves a number up or down. If that ever changed, we'd say so clearly at the top of the article.

Can I suggest a game for you to cover?

Absolutely, and we genuinely read those messages. Send us the name and a line about why you like it — that's how titles like Lucky Coins first landed on our desk. We can't promise to cover everything, but every suggestion gets a look.

Is there advertising on the site?

We may run basic, clearly separated ads to keep the lights on. Ads never influence our opinions or scores, and we keep editorial content and advertising firmly apart.
