Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past decade or so, you’ll be fully aware of the giant strides being made in mobile games.
While it will never suffice for many PC and console gamers, many people are of the opinion that playing a few smartphone games is a genuinely viable option. For example, smartphone gaming is far more casual than console gaming as it can be enjoyed pretty much anywhere.
Given the diverse range of games that are populating this enticing gaming category, finding the games that warrant your attention can be tough, though.
For instance, the leading titles tend to dominate the higher spots in the rankings, while the games with the biggest budgets are usually featured in most of the advertising campaigns. As such, hidden gems and a variety of masterpieces can get lost in what has become a somewhat saturated gaming space.
On the whole, though, gaming on a portable device has never been so good. Whether it’s through Apple’s iPhone or by using one of the many Android phones that people snap up on a regular basis, South African gamers are filled with a selection of enticing gaming opportunities in today’s innovative climate. Let’s take a brief look at some of them below.
