But as an old guy who has played all the way from the Saipan era, I would like to recommend a game that seems "outdated" - chess.
I'm not going to brag about it, but I've had this game installed on my phone for three years and haven't deleted it. Every time I change my phone, I download it right away.
In the past, to play chess, you had to find a chessboard, an opponent, and a place that was not windy or rainy.
The current version of chess can be played as soon as you open it. The AI ranges from entry level to master level, and it will not fool people at all.
I have tried the highest level of difficulty, and the computer calculation is quite accurate. Sometimes a move can make me think about it for ten minutes. It really brings back the feeling of playing chess with the old man on the street.
Moreover, it has many types of openings. Classic moves such as smooth hand cannon, column hand cannon, and screen horse are all saved for you. Novices cannot move or collapse if they don't know how to move.
What impresses me the most is that nowadays mobile games require you to pay money, watch ads, and spend time doing daily tasks, but chess is a clean game without charging a penny.
You can start a game casually on the subway, while waiting in line, or lying in bed, and you won't feel bad if you leave the second half there, and you can come back and play again.
To be honest, this kind of "pure" happiness is really becoming less and less now.
Some people may say, this is the "Time and Space Hunter" area, is it appropriate to recommend a chess game?
But I want to say that truly good games don't care about eras or platforms.
From Symbian to Android, from nine-square grid to full screen, chess has always been there, waiting for you to calm down and play a game with it.
Friends who are interested can come down and give it a try. It doesn't take any time or money. It's just like doing radio gymnastics for your tired brain.
