Simulate a completely new life

Until a few years ago, I always thought simulators were boring. Why would I want to do something menial when I could be blasting bad guys to pieces? Then I played PowerWash Simulator and SnowRunner. Both made me appreciate again how surprisingly immersive simulators can be, and there’s a lot of variety within the genre – it’s not just about walking through mud or blasting cars with water. That variety exists on mobile too, so check out our latest picks at PocketGamer.fun if you’re looking to try out a virtual second job.

Check out some great Apple Arcade picks

Since its release in 2019, Apple Arcade has become the home of some excellent mobile games, and it’s time to celebrate. Of course, with hundreds of options in its ever-growing library, it’s impossible to highlight every great title on the subscription service. However, this is a good place to start if that huge number is a little daunting—choice paralysis is a big thing, after all. So if you’re new to Apple Arcade, our latest picks are a great place to start.

Game of the week

Spectral Pixel Hero

With October, and therefore Halloween, upon us, you may want to start getting into the spirit of the spooky season. If so, a great place to start is AppSir’s Spooky Pixel Hero, the latest entry in their horror platformer series that includes the excellent DERE Vengeance. While it’s probably not as good as its predecessor, it’s still worth your time, as Shah noted in his Spooky Pixel Hero review.
