Although I’ve had iOS 13 on my phone since the day it came out, I’ve waited for iPad OS, before signing up for Apple Arcade. I won’t be able to play my PS4 for about a month, so it was the perfect opportunity to test it out. Yesterday, after installing iPad OS 13.1, I immediately signed up for the free trial of Apple Arcade and downloaded my first games.
After connecting PS4 controller I downloaded a couple of games for starters, for no particular reason other than – I’ve read on Twitter that people enjoyed them. The games I’ve downloaded were – Sayonara, Oceanhorn 2 and Cat Quest II. I’ve played all of them for about 10-15 minutes each and I think I will be playing all of those more, the favorite out of them was Cat Quest, which is fast paced, beautiful and funny.
Playing on the big screen of the iPad Pro 12.9” with the controller attached is a blast. I could only imagine that playing on Apple TV would be something really close to the console, I’m already thinking about buying one, just for the games.
Before going to sleep I’ve decided to try out one more game – Mini Motorways and it was a mistake. I couldn’t stop playing. There is a saying – it is easy to learn, but hard to master, it is totally about this game. It’s fun, seams easy, the music is almost meditative. I’m afraid I will spend hours playing it over and over again.
I will probably write something more in-depth about the service later, but right now, this is the most fun €4.99 a month you can spend on a service.
