Google Stadia offers a service that all gamers have been waiting for. It streams games in real-time to your Android gadget. So you can play the likes of GTA V, Jedi: Fallen Order, Destiny 2 or Doom Eternal right on your mobile phone.

However, the service earned mixed reviews. Mainly because of its latency issues. Another problem is that there’s no play-all-you-want policy. Instead, you have to make a purchase, paying for every game individually.

However, Google Stadia is appreciated by the gamers who need to be on the go often. It liberates them from bringing console anywhere they go. Plus, it does support the promised 60 FPS.

Despite critics’ speculation, CoD Mobile wasn’t a flop. 100 million players downloaded the game in its first week. It’s an online first-person shooter set in Call of Duty universe. Here you get to play in Survival, Deathmatch, Search & Destroy, Sniping Battle and other modes.

But the true gem in the crown here is the Battle Royale mode. Borrowing a famous gimmick form Fortnite and PUBG, the game clashes you with a huge multitude of other players. And the premise is classic: stay alive, kill anyone you see and be the last man standing. The shrinking arena eliminates all chances for campers to win.
