Games for those looking for a challenge
Some people relish a borderline irritating challenge and find that enjoyable. There's that delightful roller coaster of emotion that travels from annoyance to despair and, eventually, elation when you finally overcome that troublesome obstacle. Then it all starts again when the next tricky part rears its ugly head. If you're someone who enjoys that journey, check out our list of difficult games on Pocket Gamer.fun.
Putting Plug in Digital in the spotlight
Now and then, we enjoy celebrating the efforts of developers and publishers that bring great games to mobile. Today, we're singing the praises of Plug in Digital, a publisher that has ported several stellar indies to phones and shows no sign of slowing down. So, if you're a fan of indie gems, check out our latest list for some great picks.
Game of the Week
Braid, Anniversary Edition
In 2009, Braid became a puzzle platformer that put indies on the map, providing us with more choices than ever. We didn't have to rely on AAA or AA developers any more. Smaller teams were perfectly capable of releasing fantastic games. The indie scene has only grown in recent years and, for my money, is creating more interesting stuff. So, it's nice to see Braid get a re-release through Netflix, allowing people to return to it after all these years or play it for the first time. How does it hold up? Check out Will's Braid, Anniversary Edition review to find out.
