Have you been playing anything different this week? Let us know in the comments below.
Age of RivalsBy Roboto Games - buy on iOS / buy on Android
Age of Rivals takes a much more easy-going, mobile-friendly approach to the digital card game genre. It's bright, snappy and intuitive - and you don't need to obsess over acquiring new cards like you would in a CCG.
Panthera FrontierBy Ayopa Games - buy on iOS / buy on Android
If you're a fan of thoughtful sci-fi adventure or strategy games like Out There and (particularly) FTL, Panthera Frontier is a bit of a no-brainer. Manage your crew of anthropomorphised animals and upgrade your spaceship.
TouchdownersBy Colin Lane Games - download on iOS
Colin Lane is a bit of a whiz at combining sporting chaos and slapstick hilarity with just the right quantity of skill. To Wrassling and Dunkers you can now add Touchdowners - a brilliantly silly casual sports game that's arguably the best of the lot.
The Mummy Dark Universe StoriesBy Night School Studios - download on iOS / download on Android
The latest Mummy movie reboot hasn't been received at all well, but this mobile game tie-in is a much more respectable effort. You might expect that from the developer of Oxenfree, but you're still getting a sharp narrative-driven adventure game here.
The Little AcreBy Curve Digital - buy on iOS
Okay, so a play through of The Little Acre won't take you very long - an hour or two at best - but this point-and-click adventure tells an affecting tale with some excellent voice acting. Watch out for a few compatibility gremlins, though.
