    Addictive games for tablets - recommendations?

    Not too complicated that requires hours of thought provision. Games that you can dive into for simple relaxation but leaves you wanting the next level. To give an example I do like Angry Birds! Sad I know but...

    Crossy Road does it for me. Kind of a contemporary version of Frogger.

    They are all worth paying for. Samorost is incredible.

    I like all the bridge building games. Build-a-bridge is a decent free app and Polybridge if you want to spend a couple of quid.

    Risk. Even better if you've got a friend to play with

    The Room games are cool as previously mentioned
    Plague Inc for something a bit more challenging.

    The Silent Age

    The Battle Of Polytopia. Turn based strategy.

    Free to play and ad free. Has in game purchases of additional races (about 89p each), which add variety but no pay to win type advantage. IOS and Android.

    Easy to learn but with surprising depth. Highly recommended.

    Kingdom Rush (and sequels)

    Plague Inc.

    Any of the Plants v Zombies games

    Bridge Constructor (and variants)

    iBomber Defence

    Fieldrunners and Fieldrunners 2

    That's my list of go to time wasters - I have others but they are a bit more in depth or multi-player.

    Cheers,
    Mark C

    I'll second monument valley - one of the few games I've 'finished'

    I'm into 'idle' games at the moment - Idle miner is one that I spent quite a bit of time with - these are games that you play for a bit and then they can beetle away when you're not playing them giving you gems, carrots or whatever. there are some boosts that require watching ads but they aren't that intrusive and I don't begrudge putting a bit of food on the developers table.

    Try this one...



    Enter the ambient world of Osmos: elegant, physics-based gameplay, dreamlike visuals, and a minimalist, electronic soundtrack.


    Your objective is to grow by absorbing other motes. Propel yourself by ejecting matter behind you. But be wise: ejecting matter also shrinks you.

    Relax… good things come to those who wait.

    Bit of a thread resurrection. Ones I'm playing at present

    Hill climb 2 (I'm in team smegheads)
    Orbita
    Cells ( think the full name is cells to singularity). This is proving addictive and I'm not even sure what I'm even doing to be honest.

    Gwent is out soon, which is a great card strategy game based in the Witcher universe.

    Not exactly level based, but CSR2. Aerox is nice.

    It might be worth giving Apple Arcade a 1 month trial. There are a lot of well reviewed games on it with no in app purchases.

    I don't tend to play games on my iPhone, but tried Mario Kart Tour after the hype, and it's a fantastic way to kill time, graphics and gameplay very enjoyable. Presume would look great on an iPad Pro screen.

    I absolutely loved Angry Birds, and used to play games quite a bit on my phone a few years back, but haven't for a long time now since pretty much all the developers switched to the In App purchasing model - which frankly I think has utterly ruined the mobile games scene.

    I'd prefer to pay for a game outright.
    So clever my foot fell off.

    Any decent Go games? Used to have one on my first iPhone that was quite good but it hasn't worked for ages so got deleted. Watched the AlphaGo show the other day and thought it would be nice to have a game that contains some teaching of how to play etc.

    I’m still enjoying Boom Beach, having started playing it over three years ago.

    New call of duty game. It's free and it's great, virtually the same as the multiplayer version on the PlayStation
