Even if you are close to your family and like them quite a bit. But during Christmas… It can be overwhelming, with children running around screaming their heads off. Maybe your uncle is talking nonsense at the dinner table. Maybe you're like me who are overstimulated by constant talking and need to get away for a while.
At a time like this I want to whip out my Steam deck and completely retire it. But it is generally considered rude during charades. I am often forced to use my phone instead. Due to possible rejection Since I'm forced to do this often, I have Apple Arcade, which gives me a ton of games at no additional cost. If you are like me Here are some games that you can dive into. So that your parents won't yell at you for being rude in front of the whole family.
Sorry Android users, you can still use it.
Final Fantasy
If you haven't heard, Final Fantasy is now available on Apple Arcade, specifically remastered versions of Final Fantasy 4 and Final Fantasy 4: The After Years. Granted, you'll be playing something with your phone flipped on its side. But if you've never played an early JRPG before, this is a great place to be. to start Bonus if you can use Backbone or something as a controller.
The first Final Fantasy will also be remastered on Apple Arcade, but not until early January.
Balatro
Finding out that Balatro was in Apple Arcade had a huge impact on my productivity. And I'm still not completely recovered from Balatro, one of the best games of the year. It works perfectly on the iPhone, as if it were really made for mobile devices. Again, you're playing a game. But no matter what
Make your family addicted to this too. And it won't be a problem anymore. Your uncle probably likes to gamble a lot. If he was canceled at dinner then
Alien 2
You may have played the first game in the city-building series on PC, but Outlanders 2 is only available on Apple Arcade. This one can be played in portrait mode for maximum mystery and also has an intuitive UI. It has a very laid back atmosphere with a soothing acoustic soundtrack. unclear colors and low-poly graphics If you don't want to bother with campaigns or challenges (Which is quite fun from personal experience) There's a sandbox mode that's guaranteed to help you digest it completely.
Stitch
I love seams and play with them all the time. It's a fairly basic puzzle game. It's a combination of embroidery and picross. You complete the design with thread based on the numbers in the grid and hints from the overall design. It's addictive and ridiculously hard to put down – mindless enough that I ended up doing more than I intended to do in one sitting. And scratched my brain enough that I felt properly challenged without getting frustrated.
vampire survivor
You know you love it. Do I need to say more? Fine, I'll make an indie Roguelite game in the Bullet-Heaven style. The groundbreaking games of 2022 are now fully available on Apple Arcade. I haven't realized this myself yet because I've seen how it affects the lives of those around me. I'm afraid to start I don't want another Balatro-sized hole in my performance.

Ultimately, the PlayStation Portal is a device worth buying.
Now that cloud streaming is supported, PlayStation Portal doesn't feel too expensive.
