Unfortunately, the coronavirus is here and a lot of people are having to self-isolate which of course can become boring. But not anymore. There are so many cool app games that can keep you busy for hours while looking after your health! No more worries, more gaming!
Shadowgun Legends
Company: MADFINGER Games
Genre: Role Playing
Rated: 12+
Offers in-app Purchases
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. Design your character from scratch and complete missions to kill the aliens and collect loot! Check out our review here.

Another online game, meaning you can turn your mic on and socialize with other humans that may also be in isolation! Luckily there are no energy barriers so you can play for as long as you like. If your gaming friends are also suffering from self-isolation with the coronavirus, you can add them and play in matches with them too! Check out our review here and our beginner’s guide here.
Word Cookies

Rated: 4+

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
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.

Company: Nintendo
Genre: Racing
Rated: 4+
Offers in-app Purchases
With the multiplayer release on the 8th March coming at the perfect time, you can now play with your friends!

Cooking Madness – Kitchen Frenzy

Hungry? Cooking Madness is up there with one of the most addicting games on the app store, I can’t get enough! Unfortunately, there’s a lives system but you can purchase lives with in-app purchases.

Playdemic really came through with the addicting part of this game. It’s as simple as playing golf, however, you can collect your own balls, clubs, and play with your Facebook friends.

When you’re not binge-watching Rick and Morty, why not play Pocket Mortys? With the amazing graphics that look almost exactly the as the shows and the fun gameplay, what’s not to love? If you can help it, you’ll probably end up spending all day on this one – trust us!
