Best Of

An online space for lists of the best iOS games, including lists of the best mobile RPGs, strategy games, best puzzle games, best mobile action games and best droid action games. Hardcore iOS also features lists of the best iOS Games of the Year.
We publish Most Hardcore Lists, Top Ten Lists as well as a variety of other Best of iOS listicles. At Hardcore iOS we assess a game’s value from the perspective of the average hardcore gamer’s experience; that is, gamers who love RPGs, FPSs, and adventure and strategy games of various stripes. The question of how the average mobile core gamer would enjoy a game is always in the forefront of our reviews. Our Top Ten Lists and Best of the Year evaluate the most popular and critically acclaimed premium iOS games and narrow the lists down to 10, mostly based on our reviews and assessments.
Our Most Hardcore Lists look at iOS games that most resemble core video games. In other words the types of video games found on PCs and consoles.
This concept of core gaming on mobile cuts to the central theme of Hardcore iOS. We are looking to laud mobile games, more particularly iOS games that contain the depth, richness and narrative complexity of core video games.
To this end, we prefer to cover and review premium mobile games over freemium mobile games. To this end, we are more likely to review and assess paid games over free to play games. As we are more likely to evaluate games that sophisticated, multi-faceted and complex.
