201. Stela

[img id="101669" alt=""]

Description:

Did you play Inside? The developers of Stela sure did. This game is shockingly similar to Playdead’s gorgeous puzzle platformer from 2016. There are a few differences, like you play as a woman, and... well, that’s about the only difference. You still jump around desaturated environments and solving strange puzzles, all while trying to avoid dying too much.

Rank Explanation:

I’m not sure how such a blatant Inside rip-off made it onto Apple Arcade. It’s not even a good imitation, either. The game doesn’t communicate how you can interact with its environment very clearly at all, so most of the time you just end up dying repeatedly wondering what you’re supposed to do. It does have some terrific music and creates a pretty intense atmosphere, but that's about it.

In case you missed it, I am on a quest to rank every Apple Arcade game there is.

Over a year into the Apple Arcade experiment, I’m adjusting my approach to these rankings to make it a bit less cumbersome to update and read. For the most part, this means the number of updates on previously released games will decrease, and the text below each entry will be kept to a brief-yet-accurate justification for its positioning.

This has less to do with the pace of Apple Arcade releases and more to do with the fact that the general quality of games on the service simply isn’t what it should be. In the time that one release comes to the service, multiple high quality games hit the App Store that you don’t have to pay monthly upkeep for. Unless something drastic changes with the service, my opinion on it probably won’t change much. With the most recent update bringing older established titles to the service, Arcade is certainly the strongest it has ever been, but additional shakeups like this will need to keep happening to finally sell me on the service.

Anyway, on with the ranking updates:

Game ranking updates for 3/14:

• Alto's Adventure -- Remastered (#40)
• Pocket Build+ (#80)
• Monument Valley 2+ (#93)
• Gear.Club Stradale (#141)
• Sonic Dash+ (#153)

Pifer Studios' Shrouded Citadel is out now on Oculus Quest and Oculus Quest 2, giving players the chance to immerse themselves into the AR mobile game on a different platform. As with the mobile version of the adventure-slash-FPS game, players can run, dodge, crouch and shoot their way through the citadel to uncover its mysteries and make it out of the dungeons unscathed.

Shrouded Citadel features realistic 3D graphics and interactive elements players can get into as they make their way through the creepy hallways of the citadel. In the Oculus Quest version, players can interact with elements using their own hands, while damage from bosses and traps is now supercharged.

Quite recently, we saw Among Us teasing a bunch of new skins. It was a welcome change since the popular social deduction game seems to be getting an overhaul. It is being said that Master Chief and Ratchet and Clank skins will be released soon.

Rocket League Sideswipe just entered its third season and with it comes yet another new ranked mode. Threes extends the traditional soccer-like arena to make room for an additional car on each team, which adds an entirely new dynamic to what is otherwise very familiar territory at this point.

I've spent a good amount of time with this new mode since it came out and am finding myself steadily climbing the ranks. If you'd like to do the same, here are some tips I can offer that have generally helped me secure wins and work well with my teammates.

Back in November of 2020, I reviewed Space Marshals 3, concluding that it feels a lot like the same old Space Marshals, but in the sense that all of the games in the series are great. Now, with the game's third and final chapter in place, I can't really say that anymore. In its finished state Space Marshals 3 is now the definitive stealth action game on the App Store and the sheer amount and variety of ways it mixes up its gameplay through its add-on content is second to none.

Battle Hunters ZERO combines well-loved features of classic RPGs and fantasy-sci-fi elements to create a mobile experience that engages players with more than 15 hours of gameplay. Out now for free on iOS, Phase Two Games' unique title takes the enhancements from the Switch/PC port and brings them to the AppStore for a visually superior and more engaging single-player adventure that you can play on the go.

As easy and adorable Terraria looks, it gets tougher as you progress. The bosses start seeming invincible and you have to keep crafting powerful weapons. In Terraria, you get to use a lot of different weapons.

From yo-yos to spears and shotguns, you can fight bosses in a variety of ways. You can craft some weapons and others are drops that you can gather after boss battles. So whether it’s pre-hardmode or hardmode, equip yourself with the strongest weapon on the list!

Animal Bar: Stockroom Scramble has officially launched for both iOS and Android devices today, letting players enjoy a unique LCD handheld game experience from their phone. The quirky arcade game from indie developer Playful Fox Games replicates that old-school '80s vibe and packs a whole lot of nostalgia, along with a digital "unboxing" players can get into to complete the experience.

In Animal Bar: Stockroom Scramble, players get to experience what it's like working their beverage bar's stockroom from Animal Bar, the indie developer's upcoming title. There are three variations to choose from (Classic, Arcade and Hardcore) across two game modes for a 6-in-1 experience, as well as legit retro aesthetics that include the ACL button (found on some Game & Watch systems) that acts as an Auto-Clear function.

"Like a hardware manufacturer would, our team did research on multiple LCD handhelds such as the famous Nintendo Game & Watch games, the Mattel Electronics games, the later Tiger Electronics games, and various clone handhelds from the 80s and early 90s. Once we had a good idea of the common features and quirks of these devices, we imagined how one might look if it were made to fit neatly onto a phone screen," says Ryan Dunnison, founder of Playful Fox Games.

There are tons of other features to enjoy such as contrast adjustment, a clock mode and even a full black and white game manual, so if you're keen on experiencing them for yourself, you can download Animal Bar: Stockroom Scramble on the iOS App Store and on the Google Play Store for Android devices today.

A few days ago, Call of Duty’s Twitter handle teased “Dogg tags” in a video that lasted for a few seconds. The background audio with an iconic cough and signature “damn” made it clear that it was none other than Snoop Dogg.

The golden Dogg tags had some names and dates embossed on them and, of course, fans were quick to spot them. The tags confirmed that Snoop Dogg, the legendary rapper, will make an appearance in Call of Duty Mobile on April 1st. Further, the tags confirmed that Snoop Dogg will feature in Vanguard and Warzone on April 19th.
