Traditionally, at the end of each year, Apple announces the winners of the App Store Awards for each category of its devices. This year was no exception, and the best games received their awards. Moreover, it is not enough to make just a beautiful toy, it is necessary that it use the potential of each device and gain sufficient popularity. Only after that, Cupertino will pay attention to her and can be considered as a candidate for the title of the best in a particular category.
In 2022, the best game for iPhone was Apex Legends Mobile, for iPad – Moncage, for Mac – Inscryption, for Apple TV – El Hijo. In Apple Arcade , Wylde Flowers was recognized as the best game, and League of Legends Esports Manager became the game of the year in China .
Apex Legends download
Apex Legends is the best iPhone game of the year . Another game in the heat of the royal battle with one exception, that there are various additional features for the characters. The game stands out for its good graphics and fairly dynamic battles. Many users will appreciate them. As is usually the case in such games, especially if their developer is Electronic Arts, there is a large amount of donation.
You can, of course, develop without it, but it will take an order of magnitude more time. Since Electronic Arts has suspended its activities in Russia, it will not work to download Apex Legends from the Russian App Store. Therefore, create an American account in the same way as our author Ivan Kuznetsov did Turkish , and download the game from the American App Store . Although, as for me, there are too many games of this genre, and you can choose something available with us.
Puzzle on the tablet
The game has a very good visual component, so fans of such genres will definitely be satisfied. The game is paid – 379 rubles and is available in the Russian App Store . It does not provide any additional subscriptions or donations. Therefore, payment can be called both its plus and minus. Pay once and enjoy the passage. But not everyone is ready to immediately give such an amount for a toy for a tablet.
Best Mac Game
For Macs, Apple also chose the best game of the year. And this, as in the case of the iPad, is also a puzzle. According to the developers, Inscryption is a puzzle in the spirit of quest rooms and psychological horror in one. You will need to create various forest creatures using the collected cards, surgery and other manipulations. In general, it turned out to be a rather gloomy adventure.
Separately, it should be noted that the game is paid – 1790 rubles. You do not need to register any foreign accounts to download it, as it is available in the Mac App Store. Users will be pleased with the fact that there are no in-app purchases at all. Pay once and enjoy the game.
The best game for Apple TV was also a paid title – El Hijo. The essence of the game is very simple: you play as a six-year-old boy and look for your mother. You need to pass between the levels in stealth style and not get caught by the bandits. With each level, the difficulty will increase, and the game will become more interesting. The main thing – do not abandon the passage if something does not work out. Just try other paths.
Best Apple Arcade Game
Apple Arcade was also not left without a choice of the best game. She was recognized by Wylde Flowers. In some ways, you can call it an analogue of the Frenzy Farm, only with more opportunities. You need to grow different plants in the garden, improve them with the help of magic and search for interesting recipes and craft goods. To some extent, you can even draw an analogy with the Sims, only here everything is tied to the garden.
A popular game in China
For China, Apple names the most popular game separately. This year it is League of Legends Esports Manager. If earlier the developers created various football managers, then in this situation you will need to take on the leadership of the team to play League of Legends. According to the developers, the artificial intelligence in this game will learn from the behavior of teams during real matches, so you will have a deep immersion in the gameplay.
The game itself is available in the Chinese App Store for free, but with mandatory in-app purchases for such projects. If you decide to try this game in action, then keep in mind that the interface is only Chinese, which may cause some problems.
