Our Favorite Games of September
September has been a great month for games, so we thought we’d put together our ultimate favorites of the month! In no particular order, here they are:
Among Us!
iOS Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/among-us/id1351168404
Android Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.innersloth.spacemafia&hl=en_GB
Company: InnerSloth LLC
Genre: Action
Rated: 9+
Offers in-app Purchases
“Play online or over local WiFi in Among Us with 4-10 players as you attempt to prep your spaceship for departure, but beware as one will be an impostor bent on killing everyone!” – InnerSloth
There’s a good reason why people can’t stop talking about Among Us! at the moment. The idea of being an imposter and hiding it from your friends is such a fun concept and it really gets a conversation going.
Sonic Racing
iOS Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sonic-racing/id1358659909
Android Link: Not currently available
Company: SEGA
Genre: Racing, Apple Arcade
Rated: 4+
“The world’s fastest hedgehog is back in SONIC RACING! Take control of one of 15 playable characters from the Sonic universe and compete in the ultimate multiplayer racing experience. COLLECT power-ups, SET traps, and ATTACK competitors all while driving at high speed. Ready, Set, RACE!” – SEGA
As a great alternative to Mario Kart Tour, Sonic Racing has quick races, iconic characters and fun courses. This game is included in an Apple Arcade subscription and it’s so worth the money!
Butter Royale
iOS Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/butter-royale/id1464623715
Android Link: Not currently available
Company: Mighty Bear Games
Genre: Battle Royale, Apple Arcade
Rated: 9+
“Have the food fight of your life and be the last one standing on Butter Island. Play against 31 other players in fast-paced food battles (under 5 minutes), with the help of sauce-shooting, baguette-blasting modified kitchen tools!” – Mighty Bear Games
Just like Sonic Racing, Butter Royale is a part of Apple Arcade. This means there are no in-app purchases or ads to disrupt your fight to the death. We’re big fans of battle royale games here on The Casual App Gamer, and it was nice to see a change by implementing food into the genre!
Hot Slide
iOS Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hot-slide/id1332599245
Android Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tapcheer.hotslide&hl=en_US
Company: Tapcheer
Genre: Sports
Rated: 12+

“Drift your way to the world league with Hot Slide! Introducing new exciting racing game, where you can test your drifting skill against real people from around the world. Download for free and start drifting now!” – Tapcheer
We weren’t expecting to love Hot Slide as much as we did, so it was a shock when we couldn’t stop playing it! Not only are the races short to avoid boredom but the graphics are absolutely stunning! Playing this game was just a treat overall.
Rayman Mini
iOS Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/rayman-mini/id1469537876
Android Link: Not currently available
Company: Ubisoft
Genre: Adventure, Apple Arcade
Rated: 4+
“Rayman has been shrunk to the size of an ant in Rayman Mini! To undo this spell, insects, mushrooms, leaves, and other plants will be your allies as you find your way through a wonderful, macro-photographic world.” – Ubisoft
The gameplay was a great treat without it getting too repetitive and the graphics were amazing! Again, this is a part of Apple Arcade (we’re sensing a pattern here…) so you don’t need to worry about spending any more money to get boosters!
So that’s our roundup of August, let us know what your favorite games for this month were!
Happy gaming and stay casual!
