All of the games you’ll find on this list are available for free download from the App Store. In other words, you can have fun for hours, and you do not have to pay anything. But there are two things to note: Almost all have ads. While we’ve made every effort to pick out the ones with unobtrusive ads, some may still bother you. The only way of getting rid of this problem is, unfortunately, buying the game. The second thing is that if your children are playing these games, be careful. Almost all of them have in-app payments. Educate your kids or even better, completely disable this feature from the Parental Controls settings. Without further ado, here are the top 5 free iPhone games.
5. Threes! Free Edition
Developer: Sirvo LLC
Category: Puzzle
Threes! has two different awards: Apple Game of the Year (2014) and Apple Design Award (2014). The game, which was released with the iOS 8 version, has also received a full score from the critics. The soundtrack quality of the game is superb: You don’t see musical quality like this in a puzzle game. This is because the game’s music was prepared by Jimmy Hinson, formerly worked on the soundtrack of games like Black Ops 2 and Mass Effect 2. Defining itself as “a tiny puzzle that grows on you,” Threes! Offers a very simple gameplay. Like every game like this, learning is easy, but mastering takes time. To simply put, this is a game about matching numbers. Specifically, 3 and its multiples. It looks like Sudoku games and is played on a 4×4 grid. Each section has a different number. By swiping the sections and numbers, you are trying to create 3 and its multiples. Your ultimate goal is to clear the grid. Simple, yet brilliant – like Tetris. [Click here to install.]
