Pros + Cons

Con
 No longer supported, Community edition only available

Vainglory devs lost their servers and released a Community Edition, which is currently on pause development-wise. The game has been pulled from Steam, Samsung, and Amazon platforms, and is only available on iOS App Store and Android Play Store. Developers intend to get back to the game in the future, but there's no definite timeline.

 The game gets regular updates so you can come back every 2 weeks

 10 available heroes

For a mobile MOBA having 10 characters to choose from is not too shabby, which gives a nice level of choice to the player as well as stretches the content of the game for those that want to learn and customize each one.
Comment

Pro
 Works well on tablets

Tablets, with their larger screens allow for a good sense of control over the game, which makes Vainglory something that plays best on larger screens devices due to how much is happening on the screen.
Comment

Con
 Playing as a team in person is a huge advantage

Due to how difficult it is to communicate with other online team members the easiest method to get that communication working is to just play together in person. Of course this gives an advantage to those that do so.
Comment

Pro
 Adorable gameplay

Players get to interact with cats by setting down food and toys for them, and taking pictures of them.
Comment

Pro
 Not time consuming

Unless you spend real money, the game is very relaxing without taking a lot of time out of your day.
Comment

Con
 Slow pacing

Cats appear at random in real-time, so there's not a lot to do unless you invest in in-app purchases which speed up the rate of visiting cats.
Comment

Con
 Can only be played as a multiplayer game

There is no single player in the game, if the user does not have other players to play with who have their own devices they will not be able to play.
Comment

Pro
 Android and iOS devices can play together over Wi-Fi

Spaceteam is cross-platform compatible between Android and iOS. The cross compatibility makes for a great party game as anyone with these mobile devices can play.
Comment

Pro
 Frantic, hilarious gameplay

Having to shout out the names of the made up controls that need to be used by the group is pretty amusing. With each player having to understand the directions shouted at them for one to correctly navigate the ship can become daunting very quickly, making for a frantic style of gameplay.
Comment

Con
 Too focused on in-app purchases

The game is heavily designed to get you to start paying for things by creating slow moving gameplay with wait timers and overpriced items. Only when players pay real money can the realistically move the gameplay along at an acceptable pace of that found in most paid upfront games.
Comment

Con
 Requires a network connection

Pro
 Fun slow paced incremental gameplay

For those looking for a casual game to play at a slow pace in small chunk Clash of Clans has gameplay that fits that scenario quite well. Players slowly build up their base into a fortress by creating building to contain within as well as walls to surround it. This all happens over time and can not be immediately done so is a game focused on being played throughout a day in small pieces over many months to years. Slowly but surely the time invested will lead to creating a large base that can take on other large opponents.
Comment

Pro
 Formulated to be very addictive

The whole design of the game was created around having the player come back to the game. Only through making a better and better base and units can one succeed and only through coming back to the game over and over again to upgrade these areas can one do that. It is the promise of success if you just do one more thing, and another, and another that creates the sense that at some point can the player really be "winning", which to many is a very fun feeling.
Comment

Pro
 Great even for casual players

Hearthstone has a friendly learning curve that makes picking it up and getting started easy for people who don't want to spend a lot of time learning rules and tricks.
Comment

Pro
 Familiar characters from Warcraft 3 and World of warcraft

The characters used in Hearthstone are all from the lore of the Warcraft series, making for a familiar universe for fans of the series.
Comment

Pro
 Near-perfect balance between going first or second

There's no significant first-turn or second-turn advantage in Hearthstone. The player going second gets an extra card from his deck as well as "The Coin", a card that gives one extra mana crystal for one turn. This subverts the advantage that would be gained otherwise by the player going first.
Comment

Con
 Dependent on Battle.net infrastructure, not playable offline

The game requires a connection with Battle.net servers from the developers, and thus can't be played offline.
Comment

Con
 Additional "Cards" must be paid for if not earned by continuously playing

There is a bit of a grind in earning new cards, so for those that do not want to spend the large amount of time needed to earn quality cards they will need to be purchased, which can get expensive.
Comment

Con
 Some mechanics based on random numbers

Random effects in the game use a random number generator, which causes an uncertainty of all outcomes.
Comment

Pro
 Strategic gameplay

Depending on the Pokemon one picks for their team the player is able to mix and match in order to plan ahead for what type of match they will be up against. Sometimes this takes a bit of trial and error but for the most part is a deep way to add strategy to what is basically a match 3 game.
Comment

Pro
 Graphics are better over the 3DS version

Originally this free-to-play title was released for the Nintendo 3DS but has since been ported to mobile. The port offers better graphics over the original due to the game now being able to be played on stronger hardware with higher resolution screens. The graphics are all high res now and look quite sharp.
Comment

Con
 Some slowdown due to high resolution graphics on older devices

Older devices may have slight problems playing the game due to the high res graphics and flat out just being underpowered.
Comment

Con
 New players at disadvantage

Nintendo often has giveaways and events that allow players to gain hard to get Poekemon. Users who have been playing since the release of the game will have a slight advantage by having these hard to gain Pokemon on their teams, which for new users will be a bit of a hurdle for multiplayer and single player.
Comment

Con
 A lot of grinding

Like most free to play games, there will be a lot of grinding. While it is by design, for some it can get frustrating.
Comment

Pro
 Addictive

It's fun to collect upgrade heroes to try to get further and further each game.
Comment

Pro
 Quick pick-it-up-and-play

Very easy to play for even just a few seconds while waiting.
Comment

Pro
 Intuitive touch based controls

The design of the controls for the game are implemented quite well where using any of the menus or planting on ones farm is intuitive in function. It is pretty obvious that care was taken to make sure the game operates the best it can on a touch device.
Comment

Pro
 Competent tutorial

Being a casual game a descriptive tutorial is necessary so that anyone who picks up the game can understand the mechanics fully. Farmville 2 does a really good job at this with the first hour of the game basically being a full on tutorial that explains all of the basics in an informative manner.
Comment

Con
 Never stops nagging the user

OS notifications, in game notifications, constant asking to send messages to ones Facebook friends, basically a barrage of nagging in order to propel the game into everyone's life.
Comment

Con
 Endgame is too tedious

Once all things in game are unlocked it can take up to ten minutes to clear out ones to-do list in the game, which is too long of a time to spend just to get started on other things in a mobile game. Mobile games are best in small pieces of time, but once the player has to spend too much time on tedious tasks just to accomplish anything else in the game it is just too much time to spend at that point and looses its appeal.
