🎮 Finding the best mobile games is now easier!

We’ve written 30+ “top games” articles over the years, covering almost every genre, but finding the best overall games released each year was still a struggle.

So today, I’ve launched two new pages on MiniReview to solve that:

This page acts almost like a tier list, ranking the best games released each year with gold, silver, and bronze stars depending on how good their gameplay and monetization are.

This page lists the best new mobile games, sorted by release month. This is especially useful to check if you’ve missed any recent releases.

I hope both pages will be super useful. If you’ve got feedback or other ideas, come share them on our Discord community.
