I also despise games that overload you with menu after menu of special items you can purchase for upgrades or skins. There are several mobile games that have little to no ads, but playing other games feels more like an ad simulator than an actual game. It really elevates the mobile gaming experience to the level of other handheld gaming systems. There is one feature that I think makes Apple Arcade worth it, even without getting into the actual games available: no ads or in-game purchases! Oh, how refreshing it is to play a mobile game without having to deal with ads or in-game purchases. With such a limited selection of games and so many general games being free to download, you may already be thinking that Apple Arcade is a rip-off. There is also a Family Sharing option for up to 5 family members, but it’s not explicitly stated if this feature cost more or not. Apple Arcade costs $4.99 a month for one user. While I couldn’t track down how many of the games in the Apple App Store were free, just over 92% of all Apple Apps are free, and the average price of a game app is $2.80. This is the tip of the tip of the iceberg of all games offered in the Apple App Store, around 0.02% of the almost 100,000 games available in the Apple App Store. Apple’s website boasts that Arcade offers over 200 games, with new games being added weekly. Granted, this might be because I generally only browse the free games, so I can’t attest to how the Apple arcade games stack up against purchased games. My first impression while browsing the Apple Arcade store is there seemed to be less games available in the arcade than the regular game store, but the games that were available were more involved. Also, I wasn’t about to turn down a free trial, so I decided to give Apple Arcade a whirl. I had been looking forward to some shows on Apple TV, and I was curious about Apple Arcade. Much to my surprise, when setting up the new iPad I discovered I had been given a free 3-month trial for both Apple TV and Apple Arcade. Despite the cracked screen, it worked pretty well…until I misplaced it for 6 years and forgot my Apple ID information. My last iPad was purchased second hand from a friend in college about a decade ago.
I finally bit the bullet and purchased a new tablet.
