Ever since mobile phones were invented and have evolved into an essential part of our lives, gaming has become an integral part of the mobile gaming landscape. And these days, it becomes a daunting task when you're on the lookout for the very best mobile games.

We’ve gotten so used to watching our fellow mass transit riders staring down at their phone as they do one of three things - mess around with some apps, chat with friends & family, or pass the time with their favorite mobile game of choice. It’s easy to get addicted to and overwhelmed by the flood of games littered across the App Store and Google Play storefronts nowadays - there’s a flood of copycat games and a long list of titles that do the bare minimum on a visual/mechanical level. We made sure to wade through all the shovelware and arrive with this list of the 30 most essential mobile games that belong on your mobile device of choice.

A ton of genres are represented here - match-three puzzlers, strategy RPGs, first-person shooters, endless runners, etc. The variety of mobile games on this list should keep you satisfied and provide you with endless hours of replay value.
