Recently, I downloaded Apple Arcade onto my iPhone: a mobile gaming subscription service I never thought I'd consider. Why? Well normally, I play a lot of games on my Xbox Series X, PS4 and PC, but smartphone games never really struck me for the obvious (if stereotypical) reason — the lack of any quality games, at least in my mind.
It felt like there were endless time syncs with excessive waiting periods that seemed to prey on people's lack of attention span. However, Apple Arcade apparently promised to hold more quality games than the base App Store was willing to offer. So I decided that, while seeking excuses to refresh my social battery over the Christmas period, I would try it.
