As usual, the games games are “ranked” somewhat subjectively from best to worst, so take the ranking for what it is.
What do you think about the games yourself – let’s discuss it below!
Let’s get to the games!
Knives Out [Game Size: 611 MB] (free)
Genre: Battle Royale / “PUBG” – Online
tldr review:
Knives out is the last of the three PUBG-like “Battle Royale” games that NetEase released recently. The game only has Asian servers at the moment, but I noticed very little latency, if any while playing from Europe.
Of the three games, Knives Out seems to be the most fully developed, with promises of high frame rates, although its graphics aren’t on par with Rules of Survival.
There’s no monetization yet, and even when implemented, it seems it’ll focus on cosmetics only.
So far, I’ve still had the best experience in Rules of Survival, although the differences are minimal.

SkidStorm [Game Size: 76 MB] (free)
Genre: Racing / Top-down – Offline + Online (PVP)
tldr review: [Unreleased]
A neat top-down offline (singleplayer) and online (4-player PVP) racer that is currently in alpha.
The game monetizes through selling parts needed to unlock new cars, although these are also gained through simply playing. Additionally, opening PVP chests requires a key, of which we can store 5 at a time. When we’re out of keys, we have to wait, watch an ad, or of course buy more keys.
While the monetization sounds strict, it is nicely implemented and didn’t feel obtrusive to the gameplay experience.

Jewel Snake [Total Game Size: 125 MB] (free)
Genre: Snake / Casual – Offline
tldr review:
Take one of the worlds most played mobile games Snake, and mix it with the 3D world and style of Super Mario N64 and you have Jewel Snake.
Moving around in the 3D world feels great, and the game’s challenging enough to be fun, with a pretty clever level design (lots of hidden gems – love it!).
The game monetizes through a single $1 to unlock all levels and remove the banner ads.

Dragon Hills 2 [Total Game Size: 112 MB] (free)
Genre: Side-scroller / Action / Level-based runner – Offline
tldr review:
A level-based side-scrolling “runner” where you control a girl riding on a dragon, wreaking havoc in zombie-infested cities to retrieve the pieces needed to create a time machine and go back in time to prevent the zombie apocalypse (yes, seriously).
The game’s fun and reminds me of “Death Worm”, but getting enough gold to upgrade your dragon is a boring grind, which is slowed down so that the developer can sell gold through IAPs.
Apart from that, there’s a single $2 to remove all ads from the game, which is nice.

Shadow Fight 3 [Total Game Size: 581 MB] (free)
Genre: Fighting / Action / RPG – Online
tldr review:
Shadow Fight 3 is visually stunning, plays smoothly, and has an interesting gear system, but doesn’t have real-time PVP, and progressing in the game takes forever due to a too difficult campaign and chests with long wait-times.
The worst part, however, is that the game is pay 2 win. Even if you wanted, you’d have a hard time grinding your way to the best gear, with “booster packs” that include legendary equipment being sold for $35 PER PACK in-game!
The game has lots of potential, but with the current monetization setup, it is close to unplayable, which is something I say VERY rarely :/
