Best iOS games of 2017

Andrew Hayward rounds up the best titles of 2017

It has been another great year for iOS games, as 2017 delivered a heap of must-play iPhone and iPad picks. Some were designed first for touch while others were elegantly ported from other platforms, but at the end of the day, these are the games that impressed us the most and kept us coming back for more this year.

1. Monument Valley 2 Price: £4.99 from fave.co/2CYtE4l

The original Monument Valley quickly established itself as one of the all-time essential iOS games, delivering an original puzzle-solving experience that felt perfectly tailored for a portable touch device. This year’s Monument Valley 2 didn’t reinvent the wheel, but it brought enough tweaks and expansion to completely avoid feeling like an uninspired sequel.

As before, Monument Valley 2 is all about solving environmental puzzles in an array of baffling and beautiful levels that don’t conform to realistic physics or architectural tenets. Now, however, you’ll guide both Ro and her child, with puzzles and obstacles that involve both at the same time. It’s more of the same, but more brilliance is never a bad thing.
