100 BEST APPS

GRID

AUTOSPORT

Mobile racing

has had arcade

masterpieces like

Need for Speed

and Asphalt, but

this AAA console

hit puts proper

racing in your mitts.

To succeed here

you’ll need to learn

to drive, rather than

just barrel along.

It’s tough, but

rewarding – at

least when you

can finally turn off

the driving aids.

£9.99 / Android, iOS

TELLING LIES

Her Story made FMV essential,

letting you unravel a mystery

from fragmented video snippets.

Telling Lies is a Hollywood take

on that indie hit. This time, a

stolen NSA database features

four people with one big secret.

It’s great on PC, but the game’s

intimacy – and voyeurism

wrongness – are really ramped

up on mobile.

£6.99 / iOS

FOOTBALL MANAGER
2020 TOUCH

Love repeatedly proving that
you’d win every league in the
world, given half a chance?
Frustrated that you can’t lug
your PC with Football Manager
everywhere? This mobile take
on Sega’s footie title brings
across almost everything from
the desktop original – but you’ll
need hefty hardware to run it.
£19.99 / Android, iPad

You remember

Journey? Ambling

about in a desert,

sliding down hills,

solving the odd

puzzle? Well, this

is that – only more

so. And this time

it’s gone massively

multiplayer, so you

can attempt to

solve puzzles by

making oddball

parping gestures

at other players.

£free / Android, iOS

SKY:

CHILDREN

OF THE

LIGHT

If you want something like you’d get

on a ‘proper’ games system on your

phone, feast your eyes on these

scaled-down gaming greats

ROME:

TOTAL WAR

If you like your RTS

games truly epic,

Rome: Total War

gives you a crack

at ruling the largest

empire of the

ancient world.

Instead of tiny

skirmishes, you

send hundreds

of bloodthirsty

fighters into the

fray, while also

figuring out how

to direct economic,

civic and religious

affairs elsewhere.

£9.99 / Android, iOS

GRIS

The painterly

landscapes of

Gris are a world

away from Mario,

helping this indie PC

platformer to stand

out on mobile. The

mechanics might

be familiar – run,

jump, find objects to

unlock stages – but

this world is packed

with detail, joyful

moments and

emotionally charged

set pieces that

all add up to a

memorable journey.
