Apple Arcade is a subscription service that lets users play 188 premium iPad, iPhone, Mac and Apple TV games as often as they like for a set monthly fee. But which ones are worth your time?
That's where we come in. We're playing, reviewing and ranking every game on the service, and will add new ones to our rankings as they're released.
Our latest update is another whopper, with 10 new games: Monument Valley+ (10); Chameleon Run+ (12); SpellTower+ (25); Good Sudoku+ (40); Mini Metro+ (45); Blek+ (70); SongPop Party (81); Chess - Play & Learn+ (94); Sudoku Simple+ (133) and Checkers Royal+ (159).
We test primarily on iPhone. We also strongly recommend that you get a hardware controller, given how many of the games benefit from one: we test with an Xbox controller and a Rotor Riot wired controller to see if this works and how well it suits the gameplay. Many games support Bluetooth controllers despite not mentioning this fact in their App Store description.
Before we jump into the rankings, note that we've written separate advice for fans of particular genres and styles of game. Which Apple Arcade game should I play? guides you through the best RPGs, puzzlers, platformers, strategy games and more.
