Strengths and weaknesses
DREDGE
- Pay once, with no ads or timers
- Moody art and an unsettling story
- Try the first area before you buy
- Full price is steep for a mobile game
- Shorter than most RPGs
- Recent updates are only small fixes
DREDGE starts as a relaxing fishing game. You sell your catch, upgrade your trawler and chat with odd islanders. Then night falls, the fog rolls in, and the fish start looking wrong. Packing your grid-shaped cargo hold is oddly satisfying, the mystery keeps pulling you forward, and controllers work too. On iOS you can try the first area free before paying once. It's shorter than most RPGs here, and that's fine.

Diablo Immortal
- Excellent touch controls and combat feel
- Lots of free story content
- Plays with friends on PC
- Endgame power is heavily tied to spending
- Rated 18+ on the App Store
- Privacy label lists broad tracking
Diablo Immortal nails the core Diablo feeling on a touchscreen: smash demons, watch loot pour out, repeat. Ten classes, including 2026's Warlock, plus a full campaign, dungeons, raids and PvP keep you busy, and you can play alongside friends on PC. The story is fine for free players, but endgame power leans on Legendary Gems that are expensive to upgrade. Enjoy the ride and stop before the shop.
