Thank you so much, mate. I'm really glad you notice how much effort goes into these videos (and the reviews / posts on MiniReview). Have you played anything good lately yourself? :)
@NimbleThor one of the games that got me hook rn is a switch game titled "astral chain". Really good action game. another game that i'm playing rn is "Ori and the will of the wisps". Personally, I'm not a big fan of metroidvania but this game is just absolutely brilliant
@@cupheadsboyfriend615 Nice, I've heard good things about "Ori and the will of the wisps" :) It's great to hear that it can be enjoyed even if you arent super into Metroidvanias in general. I hope you'll have a great rest of the year, mate. Stay awesome, and see you around in the community.
Oh yes! Born Again Online is awesome :) A super unique game that just works. What else can we ask for, hehe. Do you have any other personal favorites, by the way?
Born again yes! We are a relatively small community, super active discord, developer of game is very active with the community, constant updates, very amazing game and community. I would highly HIGHLY suggest checking the game out!
Actually, the only reason I haven't been posting is that I've been working on improving my games discovery platform MiniReview (which solves the exact issue you mention).

bro born again in same tier as star wars and tcg pocket. Im happy for this game. it deserve more popularity in my opinion, thx for bringing it in your list
It closed down, didn't it? I only tried it a little bit when it just came out, but I ran into issues. It seemed fun though. I'm glad you had a great time with it too ✌️
One from the category honorable mentions: animal crossing pocket camp complete just came out. Its basically the offline version of the gacha game animal crossing pocket camp, which ran for seven years. While being a f2p gacha, it was a grindfest from hell, dressed as a cute cozy game. Now they have removed all monetization and for a asking price of now 10 (soon to be 20) bucks, you actually get a cute cozy animal crossing to go. All items are now obtainable via in game currency which is handed out pretty generously. While the practice of monetizing games with gacha mechanics is questionable, to say the least, i think nintendo has done something cool here. Normally, these games are just taken offline and are dead and gone, leaving a lot of people, that put tons of hours (and money) sad and disappointed. Giving those people the option to transfer their progress to an offline version and continue playing, is pretty cool, also from a games preservation point of view.
Oh yes, I remember reading about the f2p version closing down. It's honestly almost unreal that Nintendo created a paid version and let us all transfer over our save data. I didn't see that coming. Yeah, this allows us all to preserve the game basically forever if we wanted to. That's so cool! :) I'm glad you brought this up, mate. Definitely an honorable mention for sure. What else are you playing these days?
Yooo! Mate! It's so cool to see you here :) Thanks for dropping by. This one took 80+ hours to edit and put together. So I'm excited to see people enjoy it already. Here's to a great 2025 for mobile gaming 🍻
@NimbleThor blasphemous, ex astris, balatro and dragon quest dark prince are the four games I've been switching around. Balatro definitely takes the cake though. It's super easy to get in and out of
@@shellshock7043 I'm glad to hear you liked Ex Astris too! :) Nice. And yeah, Blasphemous! Oh man. I can't wait to play that one. I'm sorry I didn't play it before making this video, hehe. A review of it will be out on MiniREview soon.
Nice, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who really liked it. I just opened 10 packs of that new set, hehe. Still free-to-play. I'll see how far I can get for free :)
Thanks, mate 😀 It's great to see you here too 🙌 I'm so happy about the Discord too. It's such a friendly community. Here's to a great rest of your day 🍻
Ohhh yes! Eldrum Black Dust. Nice one. A review is coming of it soon :) It's really good to hear you're loving it. And yeah, Balatro for sure. Loop Hero is also included in the "Best Games of 2024" post I did on MiniReview (minireview.io/top-mobile-games/best-mobile-games-2024-tier-list) - glad you like it too, hehe. Thanks for stopping by again, btw. I've missed this community so much. You rock! Stay awesome.
Heyo! :D I've been super focused on building out MiniReview this year. But it feels so great to be back with you all. I really missed the community on here :) How about yourself? Have you been playing any great mobile games in 2024?
Unpopular opinion; this year has felt a bit weak to me in terms of new mobile games. As someone who has tried all of the mobile moba games, I had high hopes for Honor of Kings, but it reminded me of mobile legends, not even like arena of valor. I'd rather play wild rift with crappy matchmaking than a moba with a crappy feel :) As for Wuthering Waves and Afk Journey; not gonna lie I liked these games a lot, I downloaded them the day they came out and played them both for about 1 month. But after a certain time, the feeling of progress pauses and my dopamine receptors are not pumping like before, so I quit, lol
I know exactly what you mean about AFK Journey. It's a great game for about a month or so, but then it easily starts to feel a bit like a chore. And yeah, it's too bad Honor of Kings didn't live up to all the expectations. And yeah... whether this year was good or bad for mobile games depends a lot on what genres you like, I think. Because for example, we've never had as many great PC games being ported to mobile as we've had this year. It's pretty wild. Halls of Torment, Afterimage, Balatro, Wildfrost, Zoeti, Minion Masters, Dominion, and the list goes on (I've included many of these in the MiniReview post: minireview.io/top-mobile-games/best-mobile-games-2024-tier-list). But if you prefer mobile-first games (which I completely understand), this year has been a lot like last year, I feel. Not the best ever, but also not horrible. But yeah, we could really use a fantastic MOBA... maybe in 2025? :) We can hope, hehe.
Yeah, I spent 2024 focusing on making MiniReview as great as I possibly could (including launching an iOS version). Next year, I hope to create a few more videos again :) I'm really glad you noticed this video, mate. How are you doing? Played anything good lately? :)
Oh yes, Sword of Convallaria! It's one of the games I included in the MiniReview post (that has 20 extra games): minireview.io/top-mobile-games/best-mobile-games-2024-tier-list. It's really good. Have you been enjoying it too? :)
Glad you found a game from the video 😊 There have been lots of high quality ports making their way to mobile this year. I've included lots more of those in the MiniReview post if you're interested? It's linked in the pinned comment 🙌
7:45 abt wuthering waves, what you said is just the starting point if the game .... Overall gameplay is far far better than genshin and the graphics is better too
GRID Legends came out yesterday, so I didn't have time to include it, unfortunately. But it looks FANTASTIC! :) Hyper Light Drifter is one of the games I simply didn't get to play this year, but I can't wait to dive into it soon. I take it you love it?
@NimbleThor okay fair enough on the exclusion of GRID Legends. As for Hyper Light Drifter, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? IT'S EFFING AMAZING. It's a masterpiece and my most favorite game of all time!
I don't actually remember what I was waiting for. But I just bought it (it's on sale right now). Can't wait to dive into it soon :) You got me really excited about it now, hehe. Thanks for reminding me about the game.
@@NimbleThor great :D I got one request to make though, would you please include GRID: Legends and Hyper Light Drifter in next year's mobile game tierlist, even though they're both technically 2024 games?
Yeah, games that released so late that I couldn't include them in this year's video typically get included in next year's instead :) I'll try to keep that in mind for GRID Legends for sure. I can also include Hyper Light Drifter in the MiniReview version of the post when I've reviewed it.
@ nice to see you are back as well. How are you doing? Nada mucho just being the best family guy i can be lately and ready to shake off the Grinch this year. ALOT i have been finding & playing give me a minute to make a list lol...
Yeah, I thought long and hard about how to rank Warzone. I was debating between A or B tier. As I was editing the video, I started thinking I should've maybe ranked it B instead. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying Wuthering Waves, by the way. It's the same with that game; I couldn't decide between A or B. That's also why I asked you guys if you thought I was completely off about WW :) Do you know if it has been optimized a lot in recent months? At launch, it was plagued by lots of issues. Hopefully it's better now, maybe you know? :)
@ I don’t actually mind WW in B list cuz Ik it’s more than that. But WZM is totally trash after bo6 integration. Don’t get me wrong, i was having a really good time.
No problem if you don't enjoy the games :) Everyone has different tastes in games, and that's part of what's so great about this hobby - there's something for everyone. What are some of your own favorites of the year?
@@seppeseppe-jq7nr well, pc, console and even handheld like nintendo switch and steam deck, all games sh###y, even video game not for everyone, it's for fans or people love genre game only, so not only mobile games was sh###y but all device game too have sh###y
Oh yes, Capybara! Thanks for the suggestion 🙌 I tried it a little bit when it released. Fun for some super casual gameplay 😊 What are some of your other personal favorites these days?

@NimbleThor very much enjoying it. I think there's a significant gap in the market for tactical RPGs like SoC. We need more.
I wholeheartedly agree! We need more of this. I'll be sure to cover it on MiniReview and/or in future videos if I find any 🙌

This is best moba mobile games, Vainglory, and yeah, rest in peace, Vainglory, you are my best moba mobile game.
Yeah, it's just such a shame they didn't earn enough to keep it going. It will forever be missed
HOK is one of my favorite
That's really great to hear :) The game has been a looong time coming, hehe. I'm glad it finally released too. For how long have you been playing it?
@@NimbleThor before the global release
Oh snap, nice! ;) It's definitely a super polished experience. I'd love to have more time to play it.
Only interested in pewpew live 2, this year was quite mid for mobile gaming
Glad you found a game from the video 😊 There have been lots of high quality ports making their way to mobile this year. I've included lots more of those in the MiniReview post if you're interested? It's linked in the pinned comment 🙌
Dude, why you did not put goka street
Ah yes, Goka. It's one of the games I didn't get to play this year, unfortunately. I take it you're enjoying it? 😊 That's great to hear 🙌
7:45 abt wuthering waves, what you said is just the starting point if the game .... Overall gameplay is far far better than genshin and the graphics is better too
No Hyper Light Drifter or GRID Legends??????
GRID Legends came out yesterday, so I didn't have time to include it, unfortunately. But it looks FANTASTIC! :) Hyper Light Drifter is one of the games I simply didn't get to play this year, but I can't wait to dive into it soon. I take it you love it?
@NimbleThor okay fair enough on the exclusion of GRID Legends. As for Hyper Light Drifter, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? IT'S EFFING AMAZING.
It's a masterpiece and my most favorite game of all time!
I don't actually remember what I was waiting for. But I just bought it (it's on sale right now). Can't wait to dive into it soon :) You got me really excited about it now, hehe. Thanks for reminding me about the game.
@@NimbleThor great :D
I got one request to make though, would you please include GRID: Legends and Hyper Light Drifter in next year's mobile game tierlist, even though they're both technically 2024 games?
Yeah, games that released so late that I couldn't include them in this year's video typically get included in next year's instead :) I'll try to keep that in mind for GRID Legends for sure. I can also include Hyper Light Drifter in the MiniReview version of the post when I've reviewed it.
balatro💛
Oh yes, one of the most well-deserved "game of the year" wins!
YO! NIMBLE THOR!!
Oh snap! You're back! Nice to see you again, mate :) How have you been doing? Uh, and what have you been playing lately?
@ nice to see you are back as well. How are you doing? Nada mucho just being the best family guy i can be lately and ready to shake off the Grinch this year. ALOT i have been finding & playing give me a minute to make a list lol...
Abalon is hilariously bad and support for the game means you’ll have to wait like 5 weeks to get what you bought
Wait, what? :o That sounds strange. Did the purchase not work? Have you tried contacting them via their discord?
ZZZ its an easy S tier.... After lvl 40
This guy never played oncehuman,earth revival,ARENA BREAKOUT. ANOTHER VIDEO OF "I HAVE NOTHING ELSES TO DO"
WZM is A list? WW in B?😂 Ik it’s your PoV but mannnn
Yeah, I thought long and hard about how to rank Warzone. I was debating between A or B tier. As I was editing the video, I started thinking I should've maybe ranked it B instead. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying Wuthering Waves, by the way. It's the same with that game; I couldn't decide between A or B. That's also why I asked you guys if you thought I was completely off about WW :)
Do you know if it has been optimized a lot in recent months? At launch, it was plagued by lots of issues. Hopefully it's better now, maybe you know? :)
@ I don’t actually mind WW in B list cuz Ik it’s more than that. But WZM is totally trash after bo6 integration. Don’t get me wrong, i was having a really good time.
Ahhh, I haven't played it after the bo6 integration, I believe. I'm sorry to hear it has turned for the worse. Thanks for letting me know, mate :)
Abalon is one of the most unbalanced games I’ve played. That’s why reviews keep disappearing
Reviews keep disappearing? What do you mean? 😳
No joke , the games are all s h i tt y
No problem if you don't enjoy the games :) Everyone has different tastes in games, and that's part of what's so great about this hobby - there's something for everyone. What are some of your own favorites of the year?
@@seppeseppe-jq7nr well, pc, console and even handheld like nintendo switch and steam deck, all games sh###y, even video game not for everyone, it's for fans or people love genre game only, so not only mobile games was sh###y but all device game too have sh###y
Try this: Capybara Go!
Oh yes, Capybara! Thanks for the suggestion 🙌 I tried it a little bit when it released. Fun for some super casual gameplay 😊 What are some of your other personal favorites these days?
S u b s c r i b e d **deep voice**
awesome video! thanks!
Thank you - I'm glad you liked it :) Have you played anything great yourself lately?
