Top 10 Android Games to Play in 2022

The mobile market is flooding with games of all shapes and sizes but many of them tend to be super casual than anything else. However, we see some amazing titles coming out in the mobile market every once in a while that end up becoming more popular than some of the triple-A console games.

With mobile technology improving at an exponential rate, the mobile gaming experience is now better than ever. This allows game developers to tap into the full potential of mobile games and we can already see some major pc and console games getting ported over to android.

And since we are already halfway through this year, I think it's time to take a look at the top 10 Android games to play in 2022!

Diablo Immortal

Blizzard’s Diablo series has finally made its way to the android market with Diablo Immortal. The game exists between the events of Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 with a variety of changes to make it suitable for the mobile platform while retaining many classic features from the original game.

Immortal features a total of six different classes, each with its own unique set of skills and abilities that come in handy when fighting hordes of enemies in the Sanctuary. The game comes packed with exciting PvE and PvP content including solo play, group-based content, dungeons, raid, and a lot more. Definitely a game worth playing in 2022.

Genshin Impact

It’s been a while since Genshin Impact came out, but it still remains one of the most popular games to play on mobile. The game features a ton of exciting content including a vast and beautiful world, gorgeous anime-style characters, variety of fun quests, and much more.

miHoYo keeps the game fresh by introducing new content every once in a while, which is what makes it fun even after years of release. The game takes inspiration from Zelda: Breath of the Wild, both in terms of aesthetics and gameplay but introduces a slew of unique content to stand on its own. It’s completely free-to-play with Gacha mechanics.

League of Legends: Wild Rift

League of Legends claims the top charts for being the most popular MOBA title in the gaming industry and now that it’s out for mobile, we can finally enjoy the thrilling 5v5 MOBA experience on our small screens. Wild Rift is specifically designed for mobile platforms with many exciting features from the original title.

You can enjoy the intense PvP battles including duo, trio up to 5-player matches with smooth controls and stunningly gorgeous visuals. With a variety of different characters, each with their own skills and abilities, you can pick and customize the one that complements your playstyle.

Apex Legends Mobile

Apex Legends is yet another super popular BR game that has been out and around for quite a while now. Players love the game for many reasons including smooth gameplay, vivid look, easy controls, and of course unique legends. Each character in the game has a story of its own and unique skills that come in handy on the battlefield.

And I can’t imagine a more fitting battle royale game that needs to be ported over to the mobile. Apex Legends likes to keep things simple, which is essential for mobile gameplay. Respawn adds regular updates to the game, which makes it super fun and keep the players from getting bored. Definitely, a game worth playing if you are into fast-paced FPS games.

Monument Valley

Despite it’s simple look and straightforward gameplay, Monument Valley has made a huge impact on the mobile gaming industry. The game has been played by millions of players around, you can even find references to this game in super hit TV shows including House of Cards, which says a lot about the game.

People love it for its simple control and complicated level design that leaves you scratching your head. It’s a brilliantly designed puzzles platformer with gorgeous visuals and an immersive soundtrack. Monument Valley binds you in a spell that pushes you to keep going till the very end.

Crossy Road

Why did the chicken cross the road? Well, you can now find the answer to the question by helping that chicken cross super busy roads. Crossy Road is a super addicting voxel-based game where the only thing you have to focus on is how to get the chicken to the other side of road without letting it crushed under the cars.

It’s a simple puzzle game with easy controls but it’s super fun to play. I have been playing this game on and off for over a year now and it is still fun. Crossy Road might just be the best time-killer android game out there and if you haven’t played it yet, you definitely should!

Stardew Valley

This game is one of the reasons why many of us have been able to get through the trying times of pandemic with a little relief. Stardew Valley is definitely one of the best games ever made, let alone being the best farming simulator in the gaming market. It’s a place where you can be anyone you want and do anything you like.

The game features a vast world to explore, crops to grow, friends to make, fish to catch, and tons of other things to do. It’s a virtual world that makes you feel special by giving you all freedom to live life any way you want. I remember spending hours of my day playing Stardew Valley on PC but you can get the same experience on your mobile devices now!

Rocket League Sideswipe

Rocket League is probably one of the most unique games to ever exist. It was a rather bizarre idea that many thought would fail but against all odds, it became super popular and it still is. While the original game couldn’t be ported over to mobile platforms for some reason, Psyonix created a lite version of it.

Rocket League Sideswipe takes the idea and puts it into a 2D side perspective. The game is super fun, especially with all the epic powerups and crazy cars. While it doesn’t have all the content from the original game, you can still choose to play solo with 1v1 or tag along with one of your friends in an intense 2v2 team match!

Sky: Children of Light

There’s no doubt that Sky Children of Light offers one of the most memorable adventures in a peaceful land filled with beautiful characters and breathtaking places. There’s much to explore in this mysterious realm of magic filled with secrets to unravel and puzzles to solve.

Glide over seemingly endless deserts, meet new characters and communicate with them to tag along in this wild adventure. Sky children of Light give you the freedom to explore the world non-linearly by the decisions you make and the paths you take.

The Room

The Room is probably one of the most popular puzzle games on the mobile platform and there have been quite a few games released in the growing series. It’s about finding pieces of clues and putting them together to escape a room. The game puts you in difficult situations and you have to solve the puzzle one room at a time to make the escape.

With each entry in the series, the challenges get more complicated and quite thrilling as well. While it’s not a horror game it still has a sense of dread that makes things even more fun. If you are into puzzle games, you would definitely love The Room.

The mobile gaming market is filled to the brim with exciting and unique games to play and while there are many great ones to choose from, these top 10 android games are likely to keep you hooked!
