Best android games

There are so many apps on the Google Play Store, and above all so many games, that it is really difficult to choose what to download. This is the reason why today I decided to make this list and to offer you some of the best Android games divided by genre. Whether you are passionate about puzzle games, card games, shooters, action titles, sports simulations or RPGs, you will surely find what is right for you. Of course this is not a “definitive” list: it is only a small part of the many titles that would be worth trying, but it is a great starting point if you want to make the most of your Android device and want to avoid downloading poor games.

The prices of video games are the most varied: they range from completely free games (often with advertising banners) to those that cost over € 10.00, which however – fortunately – are few. Most of the titles are freemium, meaning you can download and use for free but include extra content that can be unlocked faster by making purchases directly from the application. My recommendation is to use this type of games conscientiously and put your wallet in hand only if strictly necessary, on the other hand it is much more fun to earn certain goals rather than buying them with money!

So tell me, are you ready to discover what in my humble opinion represent the best Android games of the moment? Yes? Very good. So focus on the information you find below. I am sure that in no time you will be able to find one or more titles that will catch your attention and show your sense of fun.
