Best iOS Games March 2017
Sometimes there are those months when one top game after another comes out. March is such a month. Not only for iOS, by the way. Last month, gamers who have a game console could choose The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Horizon Zero Dawn, Nier Automata and now Mass Effect: Andromeda is also in the shops. Don’t have a console? Don’t worry, because there is also plenty to play on iOS. We have a top five for you with the best iOS games in March 2017.
1. Oxenfree
Oxenfree is a standout game in the App Store. This title had already been released for desktop computers and was received with a lot of praise there. Now the full game can also be played on your iOS device. In Oxenfree you follow the exciting adventure of a group of young people who end up on a deserted island. Here the main character wakes up something strange with her radio and the journey goes badly wrong. The goal is to find out what is happening and get off the island with as many group members as possible.
The game stands out in several ways. First of all because of the style and the unique characters. The dialogues are also very good. You can make choices in these conversations that affect the course of the game. This makes Oxenfree great to play several times. The game’s strongest point is the exciting atmosphere. Therefore, play with headphones in the dark for the best experience.

2. Cosmic Express
Cosmic Express is a really fun puzzle game from the makers of A Snowman is Hard to Build. In the game you have to build tracks so that a train can drive all locations of a space colony.
You have to solve a puzzle with this track at every location. You have to make sure that the train takes all the dolls to their correct house. Yet you can only store one or two dolls in your train at a time, so you have to look carefully where you put the track. The puzzles are a lot of fun. The fact that the game also looks extremely cute is also a bonus.

3. Beglitched
“Beglitched is a game about insecurity in our computers and ourselves”. This is one of the most exaggerated descriptions for an original match three game. In the game you play as a student of the Glitch Witch and you have to hack. Hacking is a magical activity in this world.
Traveling through computer systems you have to fight other characters through playing fields where you combine three of the same blocks to make things happen. For example, the detonation of a bomb. The game has a lot of humor and a style that you will not easily find elsewhere.

4. TypeShift
From the creator of the fantastic SpellTower comes the new word game TypeShift. The idea of this game is that you have to slide letters up or down to form words. Once you have used all the letters on the screen once, you are finished with the level.
There is also a puzzle mode that plays like a crossword puzzle. You will then get hints at words to search for by scrolling the available letters in the same way. The big disadvantage of the game is that you have to be pretty good with English words. There is no Dutch language option and the strangest words are still asked. If you have no problems with that, TypeShift is an excellent game.

5. Sunless Sea
Like Oxenfree, Sunless Sea is a game that has already garnered a lot of praise after its release on desktop computers. However, the iOS version can only be played on an iPad, not an iPhone. Do you have an iPad? Then with Sunless Sea you can play one of the most intriguing games ever that combines game and literature in a unique way.
You travel with a small boat across the dark sea and encounter all kinds of things there. By making choices in your route and the stories, every play session is different. In total, more than 350,000 words have been used to tell the stories. There is a lot to see, read and discover in this special game.
