Five Nights at Freddy’s 1, 2, and 3
[Price: $2.99 each]
The Five Nights at Freddy’s trilogy are horror games that rely on shock to scare the pants off of you. For many people, it works and the franchise is definitely among the most creepy games out there. The first two were released in 2014 with the latest iteration released in early 2015. All three rock excellent Google Play Store ratings, have simple game play mechanics, and will almost certainly creep you out. Also, not one of them have in-app purchases.
Grand Theft Auto (3 games total)
[Price: Varies]
Rockstar has been avid about moving many of their older Grand Theft Auto games over to mobile. Their latest release, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was a huge hit for Android games enthusiasts and you can see our review in the video below. You can also pick up Vice City and Grand Theft Auto 3 for about as much as the used console versions go for at your local used game shop. All three of these games are huge with dozens of hours of game play, open world mechanics, and plenty of content to enjoy. The older ones are a bit buggy so be sure to test them out before the refund time if you try them out!

Heartstone Heroes of Warcraft
[Price: Free with in app purchases]
Hearthstone Heroes of Warcraft is a card game that is based around the Warcraft world and developed by Blizzard. In the game, you build a deck and go on missions to collect cards, then you duel it out online against other players. It’s highly popular, especially with the Twitch crowd and it’s free to play. The only downside is that the game can’t be played on devices with screens under 6-inches. That means it’s almost exclusively for super huge phones and tablets for right now.

HyperDevBox Studio
[Price: Varies]
HyperDevBox Studio has at least four strategy RPGs available for you to buy and play. They feature decent graphics, good storytelling, and are about as close as you can get to a professional Final Fantasy Tactics replacement on Android. The games are fairly expensive which may chase some people away, but underneath are games that have a clear advantage when it comes to depth and story telling. Blazing Souls even boasts a 100-hour story line which is simply ridiculous. To see the entire HyperDevBox Studio collection, click the button below.

Ingress
[Price: Free]
Ingress is a GPS-based strategy game where you must choose sides, build up portals, and hack the portals of the other team. The entire world is your playing field and aside from Wii Fit, this game is probably more responsible for getting nerds off the couch and out exercising than any other game. There is also a scavenger hunt features called Missions where you go on missions to find things and explore the city. It’s one of the most unique mobile games in existence and there’s a wildly faithful fan base. The only downside is if you live in an area with very few active players because then it gets a little boring.

Injustice: Gods Among Us
[Price: Free with in app purchases]
Injustice: Gods Among Us is among the best fighting games available on Android. It features an extensive cast of DC comics heroes that you use to duke it out against other DC comics heroes.

You then duke it out in an epic 3v3 battle royale between your fighters and the opponent’s fighters. It’s a solid game with graphics and likely the best DC-related games to ever grace the Android platform.

Limbo
[Price: $4.99]
Limbo hit the ground running when it was released in early 2015 and it’s already one of the most enjoyed and talked about games of the year. You play as a kid looking for his sister in the creepy, monochrome world of Limbo. The throwback black and white design fits the atmosphere perfectly and this is easily one of the best designed games of 2015 so far. The story is decent and the game play mechanics are solid. If you don’t believe me, the game has an incredible 4.8 out of 5 rating in the Google Play Store with over 5000 reviews in total.

Machinarium
[Price: $4.99]

It features a little robot that you control and you must move about your environment finding items and using them to solve puzzles. It’s been remastered since its initial release and includes Google Play Games services, cloud saving, and improved graphics. It’ll be among the first wave of games on Android to be considered “classics” and $4.99 more than reasonable, even if the game is a little short.

Madden NFL Mobile
[Price: Free with in app purchases]
Sports games on Android haven’t quite taken off like other genres have. At least not yet. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t good sports games out there and Madden NFL Mobile is one of them. It’s one of the very few Android games that even has every team. It also has decent graphics, good game play, and a decent amount of content. It used to go under a different name but this more ambiguous naming structure allows them to update every year without worrying about numbers. There are a few glitches here and there but otherwise it’s about the most competent American football game you can get.

Minecraft Pocket Edition
[Price: $6.99]
Minecraft was already a popular game before it showed up on Android and it’s gotten more popular since. It’s been in the top 5 best paid Android games in the Google Play Store for well over a year now. There’s a reason and it’s because Minecraft is awesome. In this completely customizable game, you build things, mine things, kill things, and do all sorts of other things. With enough creativity, the sky is the limit. It’s a tad pricier than many others on this list but millions believe it’s worth every penny and that includes us.

Modern Combat 5: Blackout
[Price: Free with in app purchases]
Modern Combat 5 is the latest iteration of the first person shooter series of Modern Combat. It features very good graphics, fun game play, online multiplayer, and a single player campaign. There is a lot of content here to enjoy and the developers have recently gone ahead and made the game a Freemium title. That will likely get some flack in the short term but if Dead Trigger 2 and Asphalt 8: Airbourne has taught us anything, it’s that the flack won’t last forever. It’s still a good shooter and it’s still fun to play. You just have to dodge some in-app purchases now.

Monument Valley
[Price: $3.99 + $1.99]
Monument Valley is a masterpiece. It utilizes brilliantly designed puzzles that employ geometric illusions that you must solve to get to the next level. The way these levels fit, turn, flip, and move together to create these new shapes is really something you have to see to truly appreciate. That makes Monument Valley one of the must have Android games. There is also a kind of story line about a princess in a dead world. It’s not overly deep but it serves its purpose to drive the game forward. It’s a lot of fun and considered by many to be one of the best games of 2014. There is also an expansion called Forgotten Shores for $1.99 that adds 5 additional levels.
