So you’ve got very capable hardware and searching for best looking Android games? Well, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve scouted the Play store and prepared a list of titles that are visually stunning. Most of you won’t even believe that they’re designed for mobile. We’ve got releases that fall in genres such as racing, fps, puzzle and more, as well as offer different themes and settings. You’ve got to see these titles in action or play them in order to really appreciate their beauty.
The Asphalt series has always managed to make it big on mobile and the latest installment Airborne takes things to an all new level where visuals and gameplay is concerned. Along with crisp graphics that include highly detailed vehicles and stunning landscapes, you get treated to a new lineup of cars and the ability to perform stunts by hitting ramps to get some air time.
Gameloft has implemented a new physics engine and 47 vehicles out of which 80% are fresh additions from top licensed manufacturers. There are 9 playable locations and various new features such as simultaneous multiplayer as well as ghost challenges.
2. Modern Combat 4:
The Modern Combat series is another popular release from Gameloft and it has some of the finest FPS titles you’ll find on the Google Play store. MC4 is based on the Havok Engine which is capable of delivering realistic effects. The game takes you to the front line where your goal is to prevent a global nuclear disaster and rescue the world’s leaders from the hands of a terrorist group.
Compared to the previous release, the developer has redesigned the multiplayer mode to offer better profile support, a fresh specialization system and redesigned skills as well as a new ranking system. If you think Modern Combat 4 looks amazing, you should see what Gameloft has done with the upcoming fifth installment.
3. NFS: Most Wanted:
NFS: Most Wanted has not only managed to earn a good reputation on PC and consoles, but also mobile devices that run on Android and iOS. The title is around 2GB in size and for that large amount of data, you get some pretty awesome visuals. Races take place in on highly detailed tracks where you can experience effects such as motion blur, real vehicle damage and road as well as car reflections.
You can hit the tracks in 40 different cars which can be enhanced for better performance. Apart from races, you’ll also be able to indulge in high speed cop chases. The only thing missing which would make the experience all the more enjoyable is a free roam mode.
4. Real Racing 3:
Real Racing 3 is another free addition on this compilation. Developed by EA, you step into a world that’s designed to deliver the most authentic racing experience on mobile. Unlike the other racing titles listed above, this one offers professional-class racing and not speeding down streets and meddling with the cops to create havoc.
You get to race in over 50 cars from Porsche, Lamborghini, Dodge, Bugatti and Audi amongst others that look almost real and various tracks that are base on real-world locations such as the Mazda Raceway, Laguna Seca, Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Silverstone and many more. To deliver highly detailed visuals, EA has leveraged the Mint 3 engine that offers dynamic reflections and full car damage. You also get to race against others even if they’re offline through Time Shifted multiplayer.
5. Epic Citadel:
The Infinity Blade series has delivered some of the most intense and jaw-dropping visuals on mobile. Sadly, it’s only limited to the iOS platform. Well, developer Epic Games has given Android users a chance to explore the world of Infinity Blade which is called Epic Citadel in a tech demo. Available for free on the Play store, this release isn’t exactly a game and there’s nothing there to do apart from exploring a highly detailed world that’s designed on the extremely popular Unreal Engine 3.
Apart from admiring the marvelous sights in this release, you can also use it to benchmark devices and measure their performance. We personally love killing time exploring the large land of Epic Citadel which includes a town, a cathedral and gorgeous landscapes.
6. The Room:
If you love brain teasers and have the patience to solve mysteries, then you really must experience The Room. As the name suggests, the entire game takes place in a single room where you need to uncover mysteries of a box which harbors a highly powerful device. The gameplay is very intriguing and that’s basically possible owing to the mind-boggling puzzles, highly realistic graphics and extremely intuitive controls that require nothing more than simple taps and swipes of a single finger. Fireproof Games has also released an epilogue expansion chapter that’s available for free and it’s even working on sequel which is already out for the iPad.
7. Riptide GP2:
Vector Unit’s Riptide GP2 has managed to deliver some of the finest visuals on Android yet again. Designed with a futuristic setting, you take control of hydro jets and race to the finish in waterways that are designed with jumps and boosters.
Compared to its predecessor, this one offers various new capabilities such as the ability to customize and upgrade hydro jets as well as the riders. There are various new stunts to perform also and an online multiplayer mode where you can take part in 4-player races.
Conclusion:
Certainly, a lot of work has been put into creating these best looking Android games. Be sure to watch the videos embedded for gameplay footage and also make sure your device has the necessary hardware to smoothly run these titles.
