Shadowgun Legends is one of my go-to games when it comes to being ill, or unable to leave the house. You’ll forget all about the coronavirus while playing this. Not only is it an online game so you’ll have social interaction with others, but the graphics are also amazing and the games can last from anywhere between 5 minutes and 30 minutes.

In times like this, we need to keep our brains active and what better way to do it with a good old word puzzle game? Word Cookies isn’t a game I constantly have on my phone but I always end going back to it when I want to put my brain to the test for some time. With schools being canceled and work letting us off, it’s important that we issue all types of self-care to get us through this time! Check out our review here.

Murder in the Alps

iOS Link:

Android Link:

Company: Nordcurrent

Genre: Adventure, Hidden Object Games

Rated: 12+

Offers in-app Purchases

Test your memory with Murder in the Alps, one of the best hidden object games in my opinion. And unlike other hidden object games, it has a solid murder mystery story attached to it and you won’t be able to stop playing. Pretty much every level ends on a cliff hanger and it leaves you wanting more and more. Check out our review here.
