Android games you should play in 2018: PC gaming is awesome no doubt and gaming consoles are also great but the community of smartphone users is bigger if compared to PC or console gamers. And the most important point is that you can’t carry your PC everywhere just for playing video games.
A smartphone is something which can do a lot of work and enough small to fit your pocket. Smartphone gaming is such a thing every smartphone user has done in his life and Millions are still doing. These days Android Smartphones are getting better and the same is true for Android games.
Android has added new dimensions to the world of Smartphone gaming and is getting better with every passing day. I have managed to compile a worthy list of top 10 Android games for 2018 after a lot of research.
