Any recommendations on casual mobile games to play? I've played WWE Supercard, but I switched to an Android and have no desire to continue. Prefer free, but don't mind paying for something. 

The Walking Dead: Road To Survival

Pokemon Shuffle

Puzzle and Dragons

Fallout Shelter

New Star Soccer (Has so many leagues is actually has the NASL)

Pocket Mortys (It's basically a simplified Pokemon with Rick and Morty motif)

On The Run

I think NSS is better on a tablet than a phone, so it depends with that one.

Probably. It's also better when you're captain because you can direct your teammates to not get directly in the way of your otherwise clear shot on goal. (Which at best robs you of goal bonus, at worst they take your shot in a completely different direction and cost you the match... which you will get blamed for)

Pre-alpha footage of the new Psychonauts VR game.  This one takes place between Psychonauts and Psychonauts 2, which will come out in 2018 and is (thankfully) not VR.

[Ruki]

Woah, they announced a second Psychonauts?

 

Edit: Oh, apparently it was a game that got funded. The heck? I must have missed that.

[GoGo Yubari]

Yeah, that was back in December.

[Bobfoc]

It was bigger news for me than the Final Fantasy VII remake and Shenmue III, and that's saying something.

I just learned about the Zero Escape series....I kinda want to get into it, but three games deep, and apparently the second one has 24 different endings? That is pretty intimidating.

 

I think @ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster played one of the games in that series?

I played Virtue's Last Reward (the second one) and didn't feel lost, despite never having played the first game. It's not usually the style of game I tend to go for, but I found it to be an engaging experience that was worth my time. A particularly nice feature is the narrative tree that can be viewed in the pause menu, which allows you to resume any part of the story at any branching point so that you can see all the content without having to play through the same parts over and over again. Yes, there are a lot of different endings, but actually getting to see them isn't a matter of grinding through stuff you've already done for hours on end.

I only learned there was a predecessor to Virtues Last Reward after finishing it and looking online for anything similar. I'm not normally a fan of that sort of game as I get frustrated with puzzles quickly and end up cheating, and I don't generally get engrossed by a story that's entirely told in pages of text. But I had it on the Vita and pretty much couldn't put it down from start to finish. You don't have to play the entire game again to get different endings, there's a sort of story map screen so you can see where it branches and go back and take different options. I will say the final act is a fucking head trip and you need to concentrate to keep up with what's going on, but I highly recommend playing it. I want to give the first one a go but I don't have a 3ds, and now I know there's a new one out soon, I'm sorely tempted to buy a vita again...

I got the first one yesterday, did the first puzzle and just got to the second. I totally feel like I'm gonna get stuck a lot.

Think there's an iOS version of 999 but otherwise it's on normal DS, not 3DS, so you could in theory get one of those since they're a lot cheaper. Though, it'll probably cost you the same as the console to buy the game unless you want to get into the dark world of flash carts or even emulation...

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Virtue's Last Reward tells a wonderful story and the whole branching tree storyline thing is well done as it builds the bigger picture as you go along.

I feel like I need to sue Telltale Games for stealing my name and likeness.

 

Finished season 2...got the...

Alone with AJ

ending. After reading up on it, it's the weakest of the bunch.....but it felt right character wise. Especially after all that happened.

[Ruki]

Dammit....just finished 999.

Got the bad ending :/

I ddn't want to go for more than one ending...but I can't get the bad ending!
