A gamer’s must: The four gaming apps you need to know about

Gone are the days when the sole purpose of a mobile phone was to make and receive phone calls. In fact, the main considerations individuals actually look at now include battery life, memory, camera quality and the company’s reputation. It’s not that someone doesn’t want to be able to make phone calls – of course everone does – it’s just presumed that every phone can and does. Once it’s decided on which phone, one of the first things people do upon turning it on is to download their favourite apps. This article has been put together specifically for those who want to have gaming apps available on their smartphone. So, without further ado, here are four apps worth considering.

GeoGuessr

An instant plus with any mobile gaming app is if in addition to having fun, you actually learn something too. The concept of GeoGuessr is simple, but once you get into the flow of it, you truly understand just how effective simple can be.

The app will drop you off in a completely random place in the world, and after a quick look around, you have to guess where you are. You get points based on how close you are in relation to your guess.

80 Days

For any action-adventure gaming fans out there, trust us, you have to try 80 Days. This adventure quest game is packed full of a variety of puzzles, superb storytelling, 3D visuals, an immersive soundtrack and all in all, an unforgettable gameplay experience.

80 Days truly puts you in the driving seat thanks to its choose-your-own-adventure format, which means that the decisions you make, in terms of how you respond to both the people and the situations you find yourself in, directly effect the path the game takes.

Donut County

If we were to describe Donut County in one word, that word would be unique. This subtle indie game put you in charge of a deep hole in the ground that eats everything and anything it encounters. Furthermore, every time it does gobble something up, the hole increases in size.

Of course, the larger the hole grows in size, the bigger the items you can swallow up. So while you start by consuming plants, you will end up eating entire buildings. The objective of the game, clear the entire level of everything in it. We told you this one was unique.
