You might think that Threes! - this is another clone of Candy Crush, created in a hurry on the wave of popularity of the famous project.

And at first, it's pretty simple: put 1 and 2 together to get 3, add 3 and 3 for 6, add two 6s to get 12, and so on.

And only then, having earned the first coins, you can go to the store and buy something to fight.

To date, a lot of games have been created, but it still remains a very difficult task to determine the really best games for iPhone.

For this, various forums have been explored and social networks, in particular, the VKontakte groups. Based on the opinions of users, the TOP games for iPhone 5, iPhone 6 and iPhone 4 were compiled.

No. 10. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

Without exaggeration legendary game, which once just broke the PC gaming industry. Now it has been imported to iPhones.

Here you will need to do exactly the same thing as in the computer version - move through complex structures, performing complex acrobatic tricks like the best parkourists in the world.

This movement will be accompanied by battles with dangerous enemies.

To fight, the main character has swords.

In addition, he also has the so-called dagger of time, which is able to slow down the passage of time, return the hero back or speed up the clock.

In general, there is nothing better than after a hard labor day jump on buildings and kill bots.

No. 9. Love You To Bits

This is probably the cutest and most touching game in the history of the gaming industry. And this applies to all games in general, even those that come out on the PC.

Remember the story of the cartoon "Wally". If you enjoyed it, be sure to play Love You To Bits.

It tells about how the girlfriend of one robot (the robotic girlfriend, of course) is torn apart due to a collision with some kind of space object.

The main character goes to dangerous journey to find all her parts and bring her back to life.

Beautiful cartoon graphics and simply incredible cuteness allow Love You To Bits to take a place in our rating.

No. 8. SBK14

Let's say right away that Traffic Rider is very difficult game, because there is often not enough time and in order to pump your bike, you will have to try hard.

But if you get used to it and, as they say, play out, then Traffic Rider will seem like the best racing simulator in the history of the gaming industry!

Particularly pleased with the high degree of realism, which is achieved not in last turn due to excellent graphics.

No. 4. DEAD TRIGGER 2

It would seem like a classic first-person zombie shooter, but everything is not as simple as it seems at first glance. Everything takes place in the mythical future after the zombie apocalypse.

Moreover, the zombies here are not classic, which move slowly and cannot catch up with the main character, but a variety of - large, small, inert, mobile, and so on.

Already in the first mission, the main character will have to save two people significant for the restoration of civilization from just a huge zombie monster.

Moreover, at first the player has absolutely no weapons, but he can buy them for coins.

As the game progresses, the main character will have access to several dozen types of pistols, shotguns, machine guns, rifles and much more, including knives and machetes.

The graphics in DEAD TRIGGER 2 are also at a very high level. The zombies are especially well drawn.

All in all, a great shooter, especially for fans of the zombie theme.

Lara Croft Go

Continuing the theme of porting gaming masterpieces, we should mention the Square Enix studio.

Assassin's Creed Identification

Ubisoft has no doubt been aware of the need for a full-blooded stealth action game for mobile devices for a long time, but it was only last year that they managed to recreate Assassin's Creed with minimally truncated gaming capabilities. Assassin's Creed Identification provides the player with wide freedom of movement, the ability to choose from four characters with different skills, an intriguing storyline.

Framed

However, each subsequent event Framed requires greater concentration of attention and tension of the convolutions.

Framed 2

The Room Three

The third part of the legendary game series from the Fireproof Games studio, in which a serious plot has appeared, which only adds excitement to the process of solving hundreds of the most difficult puzzles. Drawing, soundtrack - everything is left on the highest level, which plunges into The Room Three even deeper and deeper.

The Room: Old Sins

Many fans of this chic puzzle saw in the title of the fourth part (literally translated as "Old Sins") the developers' apologies for the not very successful previous series. After the dizzying success of the first The Room and the delight of gamers from the second part, the developers at The Room Three allowed themselves too many deviations from the original gameplay, for which they received a lot of negative feedback from gamers.

As in the first two parts, in The Room: Old Sins the user can safely ignore the plot, it is present in the game insofar as.

Thomas Was Alone

The very case when atmospheric platformer - from the word atmospheric. If we ignore the general style, soundtracks and background of the characters, voiced by Danny Wallace, then on the screen you can see only a nondescript casual side-scroller with rather primitive gameplay. However, in the complex, all elements of design and decoration Thomas Was Alone give a rather unexpected effect.

Severed

Enough interesting combination slasher and adventure, in which many fans of the talent of Johnny Depp will be able to imagine themselves in the role of Edward Scissorhands. True, instead of Ed, the girl Sasha is present here, and instead of scissors, a sword is fitted to her severed hand.

Reigns: Her Majesty

In order not to be burned at the stake or hanged, the wife of the ruler will have to carefully consider every action.

In the second part of the game, the developers also diversified the gameplay by introducing special items that should be used depending on the current position of the constellations.
