With newer smartphones packing increasing powerful hardware, it’s no surprise that the quality of games for these smartphones have also risen greatly. So much so that we are now seeing a rise of PC games making their way to smartphones, from old school classics like Knights of the Old Republic to modern phenomenons like Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds.
I recently got my hands on the OnePlus 5T (Limited Star Wars Edition, it’s damn beautiful), and have been digging through the vast library of PC games that have made their way to smartphones, and I have been pleasantly surprised by how well they hold up and how good they feel on a mobile device.
