Honestly, the worlds depicted in these benchmarks are much more intriguing than what recent AAA games have been delivering. I get a feeling I haven't had in many years, which is that excitement when you see a new game trailer that spurs your imagination.

Some RUclipsrs still use Firestrike as a benchmark even today. I believe Jayz2cents still uses firestrike. I also tested Ice storm on a iPhone 14 Pro Max and a iPhone X but sadly they’re both capped at 60fps and both max out the test. The 14 Pro Max also maxes out the Wild life test. I think the Cloud gate test is called sling shot on mobile but it sadly doesn’t work on either of my phones. Solar bay is on iOS now but I can only test it on the 14 pro max as it’s unsupported on the X
