As Butters aptly said many years ago in South Park, Hello Kitty Island Adventure is the best! Jokes aside, this game is actually a ton of fun to play and gives me some solid Animal Crossing vibes with all the different activities and adorable characters. I need to get back to it. Outside of that, Fantasian is a gorgeous and lengthy JRPG from Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi that seriously needs to come to other platforms. — Cody

Yeah, I have to go with Hello Kitty Island Adventure is the best. It’s a really solid game with lots of fun updates, plenty of characters, and a gameplay loop that motivates you to keep playing. Multiplayer event quests like the Halloween one aside, it’s definitely worth someone’s time. — Jenni

Fantasian and Hello Kitty Island Adventure are available for iOS devices.
