Favorite Apple Arcade Games of 2022
Aug 12 2025
I finally finished looking at the Apple Arcade games released in 2022, some of which are already off the store. Five games were good enough for me to save for remembrance or to play again in the future.
Jigsaw Puzzle by MobilityWare+ — Kind of a relaxing and zen-like activity. Engages your mind without being taxing.
Bloons TD 6+ — A cute tower defense game with quite a bit of complexity
GRIS+ — An elegant non-violent platformer with a storyline told without speech or text.
Monument Valley+ — I replayed it and maybe doesn't stand the test of time but it's still a nicely implemented small game.
Alto's Adventure - Remastered — Another old classic with elegant gameplay and good for a few hours fun. It has one new environment with its own challenges.
Monument Valley and GRIS I played to finish. Alto's Adventure I played for a while and got to the new environment a few times. Bloons TD 6 I played a lot and then got stuck on a certain level.
Jigsaw Puzzle is the only one I see myself playing again. At the highest detail it's quite a task to finish a puzzle but rather satisfying since you're always making a bit of progress each session.
