So, if you're looking for distilled recommendations, head over to the site, be greeted with dozens of great games and download any that take your fancy. Alternatively, if you're happy with a little more reading, we'll regularly post articles like this one to update you on what we've posted on the site in the last week or so.

Mobile games with cosy vibes

When coming up with ideas for PocketGamer.fun lists recently, I either felt stressed or was in an overly Zen state. I can't remember which. Either way, we've ended up with two lists in as many weeks, focusing on being more laid back than usual. Maybe my love for autumn and winter got me thinking about cosy and lazy evenings inside where it's warm while the outside is bitterly cold. Pure bliss. Anyway, mobile games can instil these feelings all year round, so check out our picks to get into that fuzzy autumnal mood a few weeks early.

Laid back gaming

When I think of games, I, like many of you, I assume, tend to think of high-octane action with either gunshots and explosions or giant swords and spells, depending on the setting. All these things are exciting, allowing you to live out power fantasies in different worlds. But that's not all games are. Some excel at exactly the opposite – bringing your heart rate down and helping you chill out. We've listed a few examples on PocketGamer.fun, so check them out.

Game of the Week

The Elder Scrolls: Castles

When it comes to mobile, PC and console developers usually miss the mark, assuming that their big-name IP can come wading to the platform and succeed on that alone. Somehow, along the way, they seem to forget that making a good game is still important. With Fallout Shelter, it showed Bethesda has a better grasp of that concept than most, or it's a happy accident. Either way, they're looking to replicate that success with Elder Scrolls: Castles, which, based on Jack's review, they've managed to achieve.
