This free-to-play delight features 5v5 tactical first-person shooter battles, where players use the game’s clever gadgets and enjoy a fast-paced challenge against a competitive community.
Pokémon Go still appeals
Despite first coming to the fore in 2016, Pokémon Go is still drawing new players in thanks to its amazing, augmented reality feature. For the local people of Berkeley who want to get off their sofas and explore their surroundings, this immersive masterpiece fits the bill. Players can hatch eggs the further they walk, catch a diverse range of Pokémon in local parks, take down a plethora of gyms, and even converse with fellow trainers along the way. A game with a vibrant community of players behind it, there isn’t anything quite like Pokémon Go.
Block Blast! is always near the top of the rankings
Generally, certain releases tend to dominate the download charts and remain near the top of the rankings for a good few months. A title that has managed to achieve exactly that in recent times is Block Blast!, a Tetris-like game that tasks players with dragging and dropping colorful falling blocks into grids. With rows to clear and huge scores to record, Block Blast! is a challenging free puzzle product.
Monopoly Go! is a mobile twist on an all-time classic
Almost everyone has played Monopoly before. In fact, if you’ve never heard of it, then you probably need to experience it. However, if you want a brief introduction to the game or if you’ve got fond memories of this beloved board game, then Monopoly Go! is a fantastic modern-day version of it. This free-to-play mobile installment might not provide as much comical value as a board game does, but it’s a solid option for Monopoly fans to play in their spare time. You can still upgrade landmarks and steal money from banks, except it’s all taking place on a mobile phone.
Roblox is popular with young people
Although Roblox’s community is fairly diverse overall, the game tends to appeal more to young people. While more senior gamers are exploring aforementioned options like sweepstakes casinos and Rainbow Six Mobile, Roblox is filled with younger gamers sharing their user-generated titles with the game’s active community. With millions of players accessing Roblox on a daily basis, there is never a shortage of content to explore. For Berkeley’s smartphone-playing population, titles like Roblox shine.
