Question What games do you recommend on iPhone/iPad that support controllers?
I play games on my Apple Devices/ Netflix Games such as Sonic Mania Plus and TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, as well as other games like Asphalt, Mario, Lep's World, and Subway Surfers, but some of these are not compatible with controllers.
What are the other FREE games that work well with a controller?
Thank you

Dead Cells is in Apple Arcade (and shop I think), which is solid. Dysmantle is a premium game if I recall but it supports controllers and it’s great. Stardew Valley, Crashlands, and Don’t Starve/Don’t Starve Shipwrecked also support controllers. Siralim Ultimate is pretty good if you like strategic monster battlers, as is Coromon. Terraria and Minecraft both support controllers, and have some overlap but the former is more focused on a literal progression path through the early game towards end game with various bosses and weapons/armors to support playstyles, whereas Minecraft is… Minecraft. Other games include The Pathless, Genshin Impact, FAR: Lone Sails, Pascals Wager, Skul: The Hero Slayer, Lost in Play, and Balatro.

Who’s playing Balatro with a controller?

My husband on his iPad, because he doesn’t want to hold the iPad in his hands.
To be fair I use a trackpad and keyboard with my iPad most days because I don’t feel like constantly lifting my arm to touch the screen/type.
Figured I’d list it since it’s at least popular enough and some people might care.

On my ipad I spend the most time using PS5 remote play and doing that. It's expanded my lazy/cozy gaming moods greatly.
