The only computer access I have right now are my phone and a tablet. I went looking to see if there are any good games, and I can't find any. I have Warlight, which is awesome, but it is more like a board game than video game, and I need another option.
I thought I scored when I found xcom, but it suffers from the same problem that the desktop versions do. It hides a potentially good game inside an unusable interface. They focused so much on trying to make it look good that they sacrificed useability. Units get lost in the scenery etc.
Anything else I saw that looked like it had potential came with in game purchases.
I am also not interested in multi-player or online games.
Please, can someone recommend a good single player game with no in game purchases? I am willing to pay for the game, but not the continuing pay to win bullshit.
I like strategy games best, but am pretty open to anything.
I don't really play any mobile games, but Reigns is quite good. It isn't something you can play for hours, but it's nice for 20 mins at a time.
Basically, you play as a king and you have to make decisions, all of which only have 2 options to choose from. The decisions show up as cards, one after the other, and you have to try and not fuck up for as long as you can. You will die many many many times, and upon death you will assume the role of the new king and do it again.
There is a meta storyline running along in the background that is pretty cool. As you play, more decks are added to keep your choices fresh.
