Discussion Been on a Tamagotchi kick lately, what are some good tama-like games?

14 Upvotes

I have Tamaweb and I love it, but I am looking for something else to play. I found Pakka Pets Village which looks really cool, the only issue is the servers are out so cloud saves don’t work (not a huge issue, I’m still playing it.)

Something with the virtual pet mechanics but also customization and exploration or places to visit is what I’m after. Is there anything else like this? I’m not too interested in my tamagotchi forever as the 3d graphics just don’t hit the same as the pixelated ones do.

New DLC dropped a few hours ago. Looks like it’s time to return to the (nearly) OG Survivor-like.

One thumb goodness. Free to play with an option to remove ads.

If you haven’t played this yet, I’d suggest giving it a look. Very addictive, slick and easy to pick up.

If you’re interested in making character “builds” this is one that shouldn’t be missed!

Request Looking for a base builder, survival, or 4X game you can play solo on a vertical phone

20 Upvotes

For 4X, I already love Polytopia.

For base builders, I’ve played Fallout Shelter and Elder Scrolls: Castles.

For survival, I played Day R Survival.

I’ll pay for a good game but don’t like pay-to-win games. I’d rather pay up front or, like Polytopia, have DLC for bonus material.

Thank you!

Request Good short incremental games

17 Upvotes

Hi there!

I’m a big fan of the cheap incremental ‘nodebuster-like’ games you can finish in less than 10 hours. Games like scritchy scratchy or fortune mill

Was looking for some recommendations for my flight tomorrow!

I prefer paid games but don’t mind free as long as it’s not egregious with ads

Suggestions That only one game you can play everyday for next 2 years.

63 Upvotes

Pretty much what title says -

If you can only choose one, what game you see yourself keep playing almost everyday for the next 2-3 years?

For me in the past two years is Hornor of Kings, before that is clash royale. and I am looking for something new/different now.

I get overwhelmed by having many games simultaneously and learning/remembering mechanisms of each. So at anytime there is only one game on my phone but I spend time on it everyday.

What would you recommend?

Thank you.

Review Dunno if iPadOS is allowed here, but the iPad became my main gaming device. I wrote an article about it.

276 Upvotes

It's like a huge review of a bunch of games, hardware and gaming on Apple devices in general. Here's what I covered:

  • M4 iPad Air hardware and official folio case
  • Hitman World of Assassination
  • Control Ultimate Edition
  • Alien Isolation
  • GRID Legends
  • Wreckfest
  • XCOM Enemy Within
  • Tomb Raider (2013)
  • Lego Star Wars
  • Journey
  • GTA III
  • GTA San Andreas
  • GTA Chinatown Wars
  • Max Payne
  • Bully
  • Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic
  • Dusklight (Twilight Princess)
  • RetroArch
  • PPSSPP
  • Games I'd like to see ported
  • Lack of games discoverability on the App Store
  • Inconsistencies when purchasing games on the App Store
  • Cloud saves
  • Subscription services
  • Steps Apple could take to make gaming better
  • Apple devices exclusives

TLDR: The iPad doesn’t do much perfectly gaming-wise, but it does some of everything. Its form factor end up compensating most of its setbacks. And its performance coupled with its software support and versatility are enough to fulfil most of my gaming needs.

I’ve already ran through Balatro, StS, How Many Dudes, Dicey Dungeon, Clover Pit, and Monster Train. My toilet time is stale.

Any painfully obvious games I’m missing? I don’t mind spending some money to purchase. Thanks!

Edit: this community is awesome. Thank you for all the recommendations!

Troubleshoot Fantasy Life i not displaying correctly on iPad.

Everything seems to almost fit on screen but the edges of text gets cut off at the edge of screen I’m guessing it has to do with aspect ratio but am curious if there is a workaround or I am stuck with that.

This doesn’t seem to be an issue on my iPhone.

Suggestions If you could only recommend one game this year for your busy friend to spend their single free evening downloading and playing, what would it be?

20 Upvotes

I like my games how I like my anime - a few episodes and over in a day or two but it stays with you for life, rather than something with many seasons.

If you could pick an IOS game, online or off, that you is quick to pick up and enjoy and provide a fun rewarding experience for a first time player during a single afternoon, what would it be?

To be clear, if I have to spend time an afternoon learning the mechanics and rules before I can enjoy it, it’s not for me!
