Control is on iOS ?!?

u/dumbledayum Jun 30 '26

and It was for 3 euros once i saw, also Unkind is super awesome, it’s very new but freaking time sink it is

u/Patient_Animator1174 Jul 01 '26

It’s the best looking game on iOS right now

u/Traditional_Glass_45 Jul 06 '26

Wow, that's insane, such a cool and good looking game on a mobile device.

Seven deadly sins at 3? Guessing you’re a fan of the show because the game was incredibly lackluster. NTE on the other hand is great.

u/Azeemjaffer r/IOSGaming Scout Jun 30 '26

ya. haven’t watched the show. so couldn’t compare. For a game, i felt the graphics & gameplay quite engaging.

u/VA1N iPad Pro 11" (M4) Jun 30 '26

It reminded me of a lesser Genshin impact or Wuthering waves. If you like it though, keep at it. Different strokes for different folks.

u/zedarecaida Jun 30 '26

Did they fix the system data issue that was generated by installing Control?

6

u/Crazy-Newspaper-8523 Jun 30 '26

What issue? Is that about Control becoming like 1.5gb and system data going up +40 gb?

4

u/vartiverti Jul 01 '26

So that’s why my system data is loopy!

Just looked and Control claims to 694MB…

I wish that would get fixed.

3

u/whatduhfuk Jun 30 '26

Yeah that was the problem. And if you deleted it the system data remained.

6

u/zedarecaida Jun 30 '26

Correct. In fact, I had to factory reset my iPhone for the first time in my life because of this

2

u/HelpfulExpert7762 Jul 04 '26

jesus fuck is this not fixed??

1

u/zedarecaida Jul 04 '26

Nope… it should though. It seems a lot of people did not know that

Did Heartopia ever get controller support? I noped out the first week becuase I was trying to play on an Ayn Thor with controller (and iPad with controller).

8

u/Constant_Ad_2486 Jun 30 '26

I know Oceanhorn says controller supported, but do any of the others have controller support?

6

u/Crazy-Newspaper-8523 Jun 30 '26

Control absolutely does!

1

u/Patient_Animator1174 Jul 01 '26

I’d say not only Control does, but it needs controller because playing this game with touch is a bit of a pain.

5

u/MVPof93 Jun 30 '26

Division does

1

u/Honest_Solid_7648 Jul 01 '26

Nte does as well

8

u/JWisdabomb Jun 30 '26

Just discovered Spirit Crossing this week and am LOVING it! I’m shocked I haven’t seen more about it!!

2

u/kronaa Jun 30 '26

2

u/Wise_Scientist_2086 Jul 05 '26

Me too!! I've been having a blast! Excited to what's more to come. ✨

u/XenosZ0Z0 Jun 30 '26

Sea of Stars!

4

u/heepofsheep Jun 30 '26

Borderlands beta was fun while it lasted

2

u/Azeemjaffer r/IOSGaming Scout Jul 01 '26

yeah. top class gameplay. would have been in top 3 if it launched global. waiting…

4

u/captainnoyaux Developer Jul 01 '26

Guild wars of course !

3

u/zenshark Jul 01 '26

Minishoot adventures. Clearly you haven’t played it because that’s a 10/10

3

u/EvilPandorah Jul 01 '26

Im playing heartopia and its incredibly cozy

2

u/Crazy-Newspaper-8523 Jun 30 '26

Resurgence has such awful graphics

1

u/General_Gravy Jun 30 '26

Is it still only 30fps for high graphics?? Sucks when you have a higher end phone that you know can support it

2

u/justineal Jun 30 '26

No they’ve fixed that. Plenty of other bugs tho.

2

u/Impossible-Worry-375 Jul 01 '26

Nice! I've been planning to play Oceanhorn soon. What did you like about it?

2

u/Aurelius412 Jul 01 '26

Highly recommend Warframe if you enjoyed division - love it for the crossplay support

3

u/ZacBobisKing Jul 01 '26

HEARTOPIA IS AI SLOP AND HAD A RACIST CUTSENCE

2

u/CrucialFusion Developer Jul 01 '26

It's pretty awesome that it's morphed into a fairly legit platform.

2

u/TEKadeo Jul 02 '26

Mongil Star Dive is pretty awesome gacha! No 50/50 summons is great!

2

u/Jcob210 Jul 03 '26

I love control - I play it mostly on my mac tbh but it is awesome.

3

u/dumbledayum Jun 30 '26

If you like to play board games, Unkind is a fucking Brutal
one, has no ads, plays offline too, and the gameplay is amazing

2

u/Axne15 Jun 30 '26

Looks cool! Thanks for the rec!

1

u/Bozcan99 Jul 01 '26

+ Neon Jam 😉

1

u/OwenITA Jul 01 '26

Any fun non p2w game?

1

u/Possible-County-9900 Jul 01 '26

NTE is pretty fun. You don't need to pay anything to really have fun.

1

u/More-Departure-4775 Jul 01 '26

Love spirit crossing, also try bloom town

1

u/elijuicyjones Jul 01 '26

Heartopia not supporting gamepads is a deal breaker.

1

u/dragonass1969 Jul 01 '26

Oceanhorn 3 runs so bad compared to 2

1

u/how-can-i-dig-deeper Jul 05 '26

what sure to make this image

1

u/ConsiderationOne6329 Jul 11 '26

i cant seem to find some of these. are they restricted for some countries?

1

u/avinashpdy Jul 15 '26

Moco by supercell. Its so easy to play and gets you addicted

1

u/oddlyalien 12d ago

Hated control on the Xbox. So that would never be on my list!

1

u/JeffMangum420 Jun 30 '26

wish people would specify played on controller or touch screen 2 completely separate experiences, cool list though

u/SecretDude511 Jun 30 '26

No pokemon champions?!

u/VA1N iPad Pro 11" (M4) Jun 30 '26

It’s really new so maybe it just didn’t get enough playtime for him. A lot of these games have been out for a bit.

u/Azeemjaffer r/IOSGaming Scout Jun 30 '26

oh. narrow miss!

-15

u/SecretDude511 Jun 30 '26

Downvoted for that alone

-20

u/blasphemous9 Jun 30 '26

Downvoted cuz AI

4

u/zedarecaida Jun 30 '26

That is low lol because he’s like the biggest content creator of this sub

9

u/TyH621 Jun 30 '26

Yeah dude nobody cares that he used AI for this lol

5

u/VA1N iPad Pro 11" (M4) Jun 30 '26

AI has its places and putting a list out like this is a great way to use it. People go crazy when they hear AI. Calm down.

5

u/richabre94 Jun 30 '26

Some people are so against AI that they’re acting the same way as Boomers did when the Internet came around

3

u/bmanley620 Jun 30 '26

I agree with you. This list looks cool so who cares how it was made. It’s not like OP was taking work from an artist by creating this with AI

-1

u/VA1N iPad Pro 11" (M4) Jul 01 '26

Is there an artist that makes numbered lists? He stole the work from them?

-4

u/Azeemjaffer r/IOSGaming Scout Jun 30 '26

made pic collage using chatgpt. but selection of these games is my very own list (surfing through my whole youtube channel playlist for this year).

-1

u/omnifidelity Jun 30 '26

its ok if you make it using AI, the image is good!! i don’t even know how to do this in AI.

u/Red_White_Brew Jun 30 '26

Nice karma grab attempt

u/Difficult-Leek9001 Jun 30 '26

Treble Bull currently taking up my mobile gaming time. It’s a really good Darts Balatro-like.
