It is incredibly basic, with minimal music and underground maps right out of Harry Beck’s portfolio. (He is the man responsible for updating London’s Tube map.) Fans of strategic puzzle games will like Mini Metro on its own. It’s a dream come true for transportation enthusiasts.
Number 6. Pocket City
Just picture this scenario: You start up a city-building game and right away you comprehend what’s on the screen and how everything operates, without being bombarded by a barrage of microtransactions. It seems too good to be true, doesn’t it? That’s precisely why Pocket City is such a stunningly excellent game.
It’s not as daunting as Cities: Skylines (not to discredit Paradox’s impressive city-management simulator, but it’s laden with intricate systems), and it doesn’t suffer from the plethora of issues that plagued EA’s SimCity in 2013. Pocket City is purely about creating and constructing a city without any unnecessary additions. It’s reminiscent of the SimCity games of the past but with a modern facelift – essentially, everything you never knew you missed from the genre.
Number 7. Typeshift
Although your objective in Typeshift is simple – turn all the brown letter tiles to green, the game itself is deceptively intricate. You achieve this by shifting neighboring columns to spell out specific words in the middle row. While this may appear easy, especially since the initial stages consist of only five columns, the puzzles soon become increasingly complex.
As with the most captivating puzzle games, you might find yourself frustrated for not seeing the obvious solutions. Nonetheless, any enthusiast of puzzles can attest that there is no greater thrill than cracking a challenging code.
Number 8. Gris
