手机游戏已经走了很长的一段路。曾经我们认为手机游戏只是用于消遣时间的一种简单方式,而现在的手机游戏变得更加复杂,且让我们很难再将视线从手机屏幕上移开。

尽管出现了无数手机游戏,2014年仍为我们呈现出了一些迄今为止最受欢迎的手机游戏。它们有的特别奇怪,有的引人深思或者只是单纯的有趣。以下便是我们所挑选出来的去年最受我们喜爱的一些游戏。

Android和iOS上的《80 Days》

《80 Days》是对于1873年所诞生的经典小说《环游世界80天》的改编。在这款游戏中你需要在处理交通,行程安排,行李以及其它可能出现的问题的同时寻找最快走遍世界的路线。这比听起来棘手多了,因为其他玩家也将努力实现同个目标。

Android和iOS上的《旗帜的传说》

以北欧海盗为主题的战术角色扮演游戏的《旗帜的传说》在最初基于深入的战斗和突出的艺术风格出现在PC上时就惊艳到我们了。这个游戏世界是受到挪威神话的启发,即玩家的时间将分别花费在战斗与对话决策间。

《旗帜的传说》是一款较复杂的游戏,所以我们并不会向所有人推荐这款游戏,但是它的手机版本却是值得你们尝试的内容。

Android和iOS上的《Bounden》

如果你正在寻找一款能够基于各种方式将你带出安乐区域的游戏,那就尝试一下《Bounden》,这是一款关于协作舞蹈的游戏。两名玩家将握住设备的一端并尝试着扭转它,避免在精心编排的舞蹈中出丑。

当然了,这款游戏的真正乐趣并不是关于你跳舞跳得多好,或者你看起来多出色。这是基于一种全新且简单的方式与朋友进行交流,并在双方失败时一起大笑的游戏。

Android和iOS上的《过马路》

《过马路》可以说是《青蛙过河》的无限版本,并伴随着“小鸡为什么要过马路?”的玩笑。基于碰触的滑动,你能够控制一只块状的小鸡穿越一系列繁忙的马路并跳过铺满伐木的河流。当你移动时,你将缓慢向前推动;如果跳得太慢,你有可能成为老鹰的囊中之物。这款游戏拥有你想看到的手机游戏的特质:简单,快速且具有无可救药的上瘾性。

Android和iOS上的《抽象宇宙无限》

《抽象宇宙无限》是我上下班最喜欢玩的游戏。作为2009年发行的《Eliss》的续作,它在让人熟悉的概念层面上刷了一层新鲜的油漆。你可以使用手指按压,戳,并扯开光球将其匹配于不同的区域中。这真的很简单,能够避免你在一些公共场合陷入游戏困境,但同时它也足够有趣,能够让你在乘车的时候消磨时间。

Android和iOS上的《炉石传说:魔兽英雄传》

基于纸牌的游戏是一个很难深入的区域。它们会要求与大多数玩家所熟悉的策略不同的级别,同时还需要玩家投入一定的资金。

对于新手来说,《炉石传说》足够简单,但它同时也包含了足够的深度能够吸引资深玩家的兴趣,并且带有与朋友或AI进行比赛的挑战和每日任务。也许纸牌收集并不适合所有玩家,但《炉石传说》却与之相反。

Android和iOS上的《Hitman Go》

简单地来说,《Hitman Go》就是一款基于回合制的潜行游戏。当我坐下来写关于《Hitman Go》的内容时,我让评论编辑Arthur Gies(他是支持将这款游戏添加到这一列表中的人之一)分享了自己关于这款游戏的看法。我将在下文中提到他的看法。

它采用了非常复杂的主机/PC游戏的高级理念,并将其应用于手机游戏中,且未让人觉得做出了任何让步。它找到了理念的核心以及呈现并执行该理念的方式。这种考究的总结让所有陈述都变得更加严谨。同时,《Hitman Go》还带有最可爱的暗杀内容。

Android和iOS上的《纪念碑谷》

对于《纪念碑谷》,其开发商Ustwon重新复苏了M.C. Escher的作品的精神。玩家将通过轻敲,碰触或拖动每个关卡的不同部分去控制公主穿越一个审美遭到扭曲的世界。这是一款带有出色的谜题设计的甜美短游戏—-并且视觉效果也还不错。

Android和iOS上的《MTN》

《MTN》是一款难以形容的游戏。你是一座山,你将做山会做的一些事,如经历不同天气,旋转,播放音乐,对你的存在做出反应等等。这在某种程度上真的非常奇怪。但是存在一些能够抚慰人心的内容。

至少《MTN》是我所玩过的最棒的关于山的模拟游戏。

iOS上的《Papers,Please》

Lucas Pope的《Papers,Please》在去年发行时便赢得了评论家们的心。这是一款我不会说是“有趣”的游戏,但它却非常重要。玩家将扮演入境官员的角色,在一个反乌托邦的虚构国家的边境工作。而这通常都是一项累人的工作。

现在我们也能在iPad上玩这款游戏了,尽管它还未计划面向Android平台发行。

iOS上的《口袋妖怪》

《口袋妖怪》的创造者想要解决一个显著且非常复杂的难题:玩家需要与其他人一起游戏。因此这款受欢迎的交易纸牌游戏的iOS友好型版本便诞生了。《口袋妖怪》经常更新,且很容易使用,让你能够轻松地与朋友或喜欢的陌生人游戏。这可能不是你在手机平台上渴望看到的《口袋妖怪》,但是它却带有独特的魅力。

iOS上的《水手之梦》

《水手之梦》自称带有“和平的叙述体验。”与Simogo之前的作品(游戏邦注:如《Year Walk》和《Device 6》)一样,它提供了比传统的游戏更多的氛围之旅。你将探索一个奇特的世界并阅读一些能够带给自己更多线索进入更大主题的小故事。

这是一款并不像游戏的游戏。比起同类型的其它游戏,《水手之梦》特别让人难以忘怀。

Android和iOS上的《孤独的托马斯》

当《孤独的托马斯》最初发行于2012年时,我们便被其幽默,有魅力的叙述以及可爱的块状角色所吸引。你将扮演托马斯及其朋友,即一群不同形状的人将合作解决一系列基于空间的谜题。

游戏本身非常简单,但它也伴随着一些非常真诚的时刻以及非常复杂的难题。它的短关卡非常适合手机游戏;并且当你发现自己陷入一些头疼的时刻时它还能避免让你抓狂。

Android和iOS上的《Threes!》

Sirvo的简单游戏《Threes!》是一款全部关于数字的游戏。你将滑动并结合砖块去收集多个3,同时避免自己用尽所有移动。从根本上看来《Threes!》能够带给玩家乐趣。但是除此之外我们也想不到更高的赞美词了。

2014 in review: The year’s best mobile games

By Megan Farokhmanesh

The mobile gaming era has come a long way. Where mobile games once felt like silly, simple ways to pass the time, it’s becoming harder and harder to keep ourselves away from playing on our phones.

Although there were dozens upon dozens of mobile titles to sift through, 2014 served up some of our favorite mobile games to date. Whether they were quirky, thought-provoking or just plain fun, we’ve put together our top picks for the year. You need to check these out.

80 Days on Android and iOS

Jules Verne fans, perk up: 80 Days is a reinterpretation of the classic novel, Around the World in Eighty Days, penned in 1873 — with a few steampunk exceptions. 80 Days charges you with finding the fastest route around the world while accounting for transport, travel arrangements, luggage and other would-be problems. It’s trickier than it sounds, thanks to other players out to achieve the same goal.

The Banner Saga on Android and iOS

Viking-themed tactical role-playing game The Banner Saga delighted us when it first released on PC with its deep combat and striking art style. The game is set in a world inspired by Norse mythology, in which players split their time between battle and dialogue decisions.

The Banner Saga is a hard game to not recommend to anyone, and its mobile version is just as good a reason as any to pick it up.

Bounden on Android and iOS

If you’re looking for a game to take you out of your comfort zone in about a million ways, try Bounden, a game focused on cooperative dance. Two players hold either end of the device and attempt to twist, twirl and avoid looking like complete duffers in choreographed dances.

Of course, the real fun isn’t about how well you can dance, or how good you look. It’s connecting with a friend in a new, goofy way and laughing when you both fail. At least, that’s what we clumsy, awkward Polygoners tell ourselves.

Crossy Road on Android and iOS

Crossy Road is essentially an endless version of Frogger with a “Why did the chicken cross the road?” joke tossed in for good measure. With touch-based swipes, you navigate a blocky chicken across a series of busy roads and over log-filled rivers. As you move, you’re slowly pushed forward; hop too slow and you’re lunch for flying predators. It’s everything you want your mobile games to be: Easy, fast and hopelessly addictive.

Eliss Infinity on Android and iOS

Eliss Infinity is my ideal game for commutes. As the followup to Eliss, released in 2009, it gives a fresh coat of paint to a familiar concept. Using your fingers, you push, poke, combine and pull apart balls of light to fit them into different sectors. It’s simple enough to keep you from getting frustrated in public, but also interesting enough to make the long minutes of your ride melt away.

Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft on Android and iOS

Card-based games can be a tricky pool to dip into. They require a different level of strategy than what most players are used to, as well as a financial investment to stay up to date. Enter Hearthstone, Blizzard’s free-to-play digital card game.

Hearthstone is simple enough for new players, but contains enough depth to keep experienced players interested and challenged with matches against friends or AI and daily quests. Card collecting isn’t for everyone, but Hearthstone is.

Hitman Go on Android and iOS

To break down Hitman Go in simplest terms, it’s an isometric, turn-based take on the stealth franchise. When I sat down to write the entry for Hitman Go, I asked reviews editor Arthur Gies — one of the biggest proponents for including it on this list — to share his thoughts. Rather than digesting and spitting them out, I’ll include them below.

It takes the high-level concepts of a very sophisticated console/PC title and makes it work on mobile without feeling compromised. It finds the essence of the idea and a good alternative means of presenting/executing on it.
This elegant summary was delivered bereft of caps-lock, which I can only tell you makes the sincerity of the statement all the more serious. Also, Hitman Go has just the cutest little assassinations.

Monument Valley on Android and iOS

With Monument Valley, developer Ustwo brought the spirit of M.C. Escher’s work to life. Players navigate a tiny princess through an aesthetically twisted world by tapping, touching or dragging different parts of each level. It’s a short, sweet little game with brilliant puzzle design — and it’s not bad on the eyes, either.

MTN on Android and iOS

MTN (or Mountain) is a game that defies description. You’re a mountain, and you do the things mountains do, like experience weather, spin around, play music and reflect on your existence. It’s weird almost to the point of being pretentious … And yet, there’s something soothing about it. Peaceful, even.

At the very least, MTN is the best mountain simulator we’ve ever played.

Papers, Please on iOS

Lucas Pope’s Papers, Please won the hearts of critics when it launched last year. It’s a game I wouldn’t necessarily classify as “fun,” but absolutely important. Players take on the role of an immigration officer working the border of a fictional dystopian country. It’s an often exhausting exercise in sacrifice, apathy, deception and, most of all, tedium.

The game is available on iPad as of this month, though sadly for Android users there are no current plans for a release.

Pokémon TCG Online on iOS

The creators of Pokémon TCG Online wanted to solve a fairly obvious, fairly difficult problem: Players need other people to play with. Thus the iOS-friendly version of the popular trading card game was born. TCG Online is updated frequently, easy to use and it allows you to easily play against friends and strangers alike. It may not be the Pokémon you’re craving on a mobile platform, but it does scratch a specific itch.

The Sailor’s Dream on iOS

The Sailor’s Dream is self-described as “a peaceful narrative experience.” Like Simogo’s work before it — Year Walk and Device 6 — it offers more of an atmospheric journey than traditional play. You explore a picturesque world and read short stories that help clue you in to larger themes.

It’s a game that hardly feels like a game. The Sailor’s Dream is occasionally haunting, always beautiful and unlike its peers.

Thomas Was Alone on Android and iOS

When Thomas Was Alone first launched in 2012, it charmed us with its humor, charismatic narration and lovable, blocky characters. You play as Thomas and his friends, a crew of different shapes that must work together to escape a series of room-based puzzles.

The game itself is simple in theory, but Thomas Was Alone is packed with heartfelt moments and some really, really hard puzzles, you guys. Its short levels are perfect for mobile devices; it keeps you from going crazy when you find yourself stuck on one frustrating moment.

Threes! on Android and iOS

Sirvo’s simple game, Threes!, is all about numbers. You slide and combine tiles to gather multiples of three while trying to keep yourself from running out of moves. Basically, Threes! makes math fun. There is no higher praise we can give.
