all the gems you can download to your Android at no extra cost

Every year, app stores make a sort of compilation with the best of the year. It’s a bit like Spotify Wrapped, but with apps and Google is one of those that usually chooses the best one that can be downloaded from the Play Store each year.

We have already told you which are the best apps of the year and, nowhere we go with the list of the best Play Pass games for Google. It’s the subscription service that allows us to access premium games without paying separately and without microtransactions, and there are some real gems.

Magical unleashing

First of all, this list depends on… Google and we don’t know the criteria very well. In 2023, a lot of high quality games have been released and what is clear is that, whether we think they are the best or not, there is lots and lots of quality in this selection of five Play Pass games .

The best game of 2023 for Google is “Magic Rampage”. Visually it catches the eye thanks to a large aesthetic section and very attractive graphics, but there is also a lot of variety in the settings.

It’s an action RPG game that brilliantly combines both genres and this allows us to play in a very intuitive way thanks to very careful colors. Depending on our character we have access to certain attacks and others, but whatever it is, fun is guaranteed.

An exciting platformer that combines the RPG genre with frenetic action-filled gameplay.

ARIDA: the awakening of Backland

Although “Magic Rampage” is Google’s best game of the year, the company makes a few special mentions, “ARIDA: “Awakening” being one of them. In this game we control Cícera, a young woman who is looking for her parents and, to do so, she must cross a very dry area of 19th century Brazil.

It is an adventure in which we must obtain resources to be able to overcome the challenges, artistically it is striking and the story is one of the strong points. It might be a bit short, but considering it’s on Play Pass, we don’t consider that a negative.

ARIDA: the awakening of Backland

Explore the driest regions, collect resources and uncover clues about the fate of young Cícera, a girl who braves the drought to explore the interior of 19th century Brazil.

Line: Interior lighting package

The name is a bit strange, but “Linea: Interior Light Play” It’s one of those games that always comes in handy when you need a moment of calm

and we are looking for something relaxing. Soft colors, simple but beautiful graphics and a very well measured sound section are the keys to this puzzle or maze game.

The mechanics are simple: guide a light point that draws a line through the maze, looking for the combination to advance, but certain challenges will put us to the test. If you have Play Pass, this is a very worthwhile download.

Linea is a puzzle and story game in which you can help the characters by tracing the line to the end of the path of light.

Machinarium

“Machinarium” is by no means a new game, but we are not at all surprised that Google included it in its list of the best games of 2023. It is a graphic adventure in which we control the robot Josef and this will take us through numerous scenarios recreated with impeccable care and level of detail.

There are puzzles, you have to think, it has a considerable duration, the story is not bad at all and, years after its original release, Machinarium continues to be one of the best graphic adventures around. In addition, the sense of humor and the sound part come from another dimension.

Machinarium is the acclaimed indie adventure developed by the creators of Samorost, Botanicula and CHUCHEL.

Silly Royale – The Devil Among Us

It is curious that a kind of plagiarism of another game is chosen for a list like this, but Google decided to include this “Silly Royale -Devil Amongst Us” among the best. I don’t have too many “t”s in the name, no. With an interesting visual design, ‘Silly Royale’ features several game modes like hide and seek, most similar to ‘Among Us’ and a mode death match play one team against another.

Being within Play Pass, you don’t lose anything by trying it. And with this one, Google closes list of best Play Pass games of 2023. There would probably be other candidates depending on who makes the list, but if they are there, it’s worth a try. Overall, they are in the subscription…
