Going on a trip for the next few days and will have plenty of downtime in the hotel room on my iPad. What are your favorite ipad games?

I have the 9th gen, so games like Divinity Original Sin 2 are out :(

    Check out Pocket City 2 if you like city builders. It threads the needle of depth, but also acknowledging the limitations of a touchscreen interface.

    The Room games are great puzzle/escape room type things where you use the screen to rotate items, flip switches, drag things, etc; it’s very tactile and clearly built for a touch screen. Each one takes about 2-4 hours.

    My answer will be pretty useless answer for most buy why not…
    I don’t normally use iOS devices so when I borrow an iPad it is to play a couple digital boardgame implementations that are available for iOS but not Android: Finished! and Dead Man’s Draw

    Finished! in particular is pretty addictive and very satisfying when you finally win.

    if you like puzzle games, the Rusty Lake/Cube Escape series of games are pretty cool. They give off a sort of Twin Peaks vibe, if you’re into that.

    Been playing through the ages for a few years now and it’s been a lot of fun. It’s got only one expansion and has a one time fee. No MTX, no ads, no requirement for online.

    I’d recommend playing with the expansions right away because they don’t overwhelm you or feel “harder” to play with; it just gives you more options while you play.

    I wanted to recommend DOS2 :( but I’m pretty sure that the 9th gen is enough to run all Baldur’s Gate games, and they’re great too (I had this iPad before my M2 and they worked well)!
