Death Point

Death Point is as polished a game as you'll find on Android. It's a top-down stealth shooter in which you play a captured spy in a post-apocalyptic world where you must sneak through enemy compounds taking out guards and sabotaging their systems as you go.

Your goal is to meet up with the only other member of your team who has survived, an operator who is able to communicate with you through technology implanted in your brain. She's there to give you tips and info on upcoming sections, and provide some lighthearted banter and story as you get down to business getting your revenge.

The graphics are next level, and you'll probably need a recent flagship to get the most out of this game, with great lighting effects to show you when you're visible to guards and when you're hidden in the shadows. You're free to play through however you please — be extra stealthy, or go in Rambo-style — but you'll quickly learn that this game is very unforgiving if you make mistakes making a stealthier approach the clear winning strategy

There are 10 challenging chapters to play through that will test even the most hardcore gamers. It's a great title that's worth the premium price.

Golden Axe

I never owned a Sega Genesis as a kid, so I missed out on the nostalgia for the re-release of this action-packed fantasy brawler. Nevertheless, Golden Axe has proven to be another fantastic Sega Forever port for Android.

You get to choose between three heroes — a barbarian, a dwarf, and an Amazon warrior — as you set off on an adventure where you'll do battle against waves of minions as you try to free the world from the grips of the evil Death Adder. You will need both your brute strength and magic-casting abilities to vanquish your foes and bring peace back to the land.

The on-screen controls are spot on, and it's a great game worth checking out even if you never played the original back on the Sega… If only because there are parts where you get to ride on the back of a fire-breathing dragon. Totally badass!

The game is free to play with the option to pay to remove all ads.

The House of Da Vinci

Fans of the outstanding puzzle series The Room listen up: The House of Da Vinci is your new favorite game. This game was the result of a successful Kickstarter campaign and was previously released for iOS before finally being released for Android.

Set in the 16th century, you play as the great Da Vinci's apprentice. One day, you realize your Master has disappeared without a trace. Your only hope is to search through his workshop filled with intricate puzzles, inventions, and escape room mechanisms to discover hints as to where Da Vinci went.

Many of the puzzles are inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci's real inventions, and the beautifully rendered rooms and locations were based on original artwork from the time period. Think of it like a new entry in The Room series except with a historical-based storyline to keep things moving.
