New Apple Arcade Games - January & February 2024 

I'm just waiting for Disney Speed storm, Division Resurgence and AC Mirage. Also the Art of Rally

Although I am pretty much a cozy casual gamer, I get what you mean about wanting depth in Apple Arcade games. Wylde Flowers was the only game that really grabbed me on the platform. I've played several others, but that game is the only one I stuck with until the end. Out of the games you mentioned in this video, I'm currently playing Tamagotchi and it is OK. The writing is comparable to a Saturday afternoon cartoon, and I am a little too old for that 😄. I will probably try Words in Progress when it comes out. As you said, there are plenty of word games out there, so for me, it comes down to whether the interface is pretty, and it looks like this one might be nice.

2:59 I'll download it if it supports 120fps on iPadOS. 1TB M1 11" refurbished can be had for 900 Euros these days

I wonder if Tamagotchi one is going to be any close to Hello Kitty game, because the Hello Kitty one is a surprisingly good game to play and while it is really simple, it is a very good option to just relax after work lmao. And I'm going to check the beast thing but I am not sure how much I'll like it. I think Apple Arcade really needs more ports of PC indie games like they did with Dead Cells, Downwell or Thumper. I wonder if they are going to discontinue them one day (i really hope not) but these are still the best games on Apple Arcade in my opinion. I really enjoyed playing Samba-de-Amigo and Sonic last year, they are some genuinely good games. Pretty simple and casual but good.

I imagine we’re going to see a big push with the upcoming Vision Pro and WWDC events. Moving a lot or all of those apps to Vision Pro , and presumably OceanHorn 3 on Arcade are going to be very big deals.

You’ve only come to the realization now that Apple Arcade is predominantly (and will likely always be) full of shallow casual games?

I wonder when AC Mirage will be released, hopefully that is also playable on macOS (devices with Apple Silicon)

Yep, many casual and petty games. I have a 3 month free subscription and I won’t pay 6,99€ for the AA service when it finish. Even Netflix games seem better.

You didn’t mention that corn sweeper is a complete and utter bugged up mess…they delayed the game for this? I mean, Apple Arcade is loaded with garbage games these days, but cornsweeper isn’t even playable…why did Apple Pay for this?

I can feel the pain in your voice my man. At least we have Death Stranding to look forward to! Allegedly the game boasts a high frame rate.

So lame that we only get 2 games in Feb. Wasn’t impressed with any of these games. This was really good when it first came out. They had so many console games that had come out like Dead Cells. Now they just suck.

🥱🥱🥱

Meh 🫤

Thanks for your honest opinion Rory don’t know if you remember me we once chat via email, happy new year by the way ! Yeah I really value your videos & how informative they are & how you displayed a genuine opinion non biased opinion on this one I have so many ideas & suggestions I’d like to share with you can we hop on a call sometime? :)

I'm looking forward to see if some idiot (it'd be me if I had the money) to max out M2 Ultra 192GB RAM in like Minecraft. Spawning maybe a hundred thousand Enderdragon would do the trick.

Apple Arcade is so bad. Let’s swap this channel over to Netflix games.
