Best Mediafire Games

New year, new games but what are the best Xbox One games right now, and what have we got to look forward to in 2019? Resident Evil 2 Remake is probably the biggest thing on the immediate horizon. Some of the best phone games are the ones you can pick up and play for a couple of minutes at a time, whether you're on your commute or just waiting in line at the bank. Finger Driver is one of.

Here at the Strategist, we like to think of ourselves as crazy (in the good way) about the stuff we buy, but as much as we’d like to, we can’t try everything. Which is why we have People’s Choice, in which we find the best-reviewed (that’s four-to-five-star reviews and lots of ’em) products and single out the most convincing. While we’ve written about the best backyard pools and pool floats, and design experts’ furniture picks for small outdoor areas, here we’re looking into the best outdoor games that you can find on Amazon. (Note that reviews have been edited for length and clarity.)

Best Bocce-Ball Set

“Great set! I love the case it comes in — everything nestles snugly inside, including all nine balls and the instructions. We love playing bocce ball, and really like this set. The case itself is nicely made — the handles are sewn in well and are very secure, and the zipper closes everything up. The balls are a perfect weight and also well-made. The colors are really vibrant, and they just need a quick wipe down with a wet towel when you’re finished playing to make them look brand-new again.”

Best Disc Game

“I purchased this product in anticipation of a family week at the beach. It was so much fun that we left the cornhole boards in the house. The rules are a little complex, but can be picked up easily. Kids from 7 to 12 were able to play, but the adults really got into the strategy part of the game. The best part of the game is the fast pace and full involvement of both partners in each throw. The product is very well made and simple to set up. I’m sure lower-priced knockoffs are available, but I recommend the original, considering these guys invented the game. If you have a competitive crowd that enjoys being active, this is a great purchase, and you’ll get hours of enjoyment from it.”

Mediafire Angry Birds

Best Wooden Cornhole Set

“Significantly heavier and more solid than expected. Definitely quality made, and most importantly, we have bragging rights to the full regulation-size cornhole set. Until you play this one, you won’t realize how much size matters! Bags also feel heavy and professional — and I would be remiss not to mention the carrying case for the bags, which was a nice inclusion. All in all, a solid purchase.”

Best Portable Cornhole Set

GoSports Cornhole PRO Regulation Size Bean Bag Toss Game Set — Foldable

“Regulation dimensions in an easily portable, lightweight, well-constructed, all-around set for having fun at the beach, backyard, and tailgating. First day, pulled it straight out of the box, set up in under a minute, played for hours. We were anxious to see the difference playing on this set versus the massive wooden tournament set we had. While we have no aspirations (or delusions) of becoming cornhole professionals, we are still quite competitive and wanted a set with somewhat regulation dimensions. We certainly had as much fun as on the wooden set. Actually, more so, as we didn’t have to lug the 40-plus-pound wooden boards back to the garage. Just stowed bags inside the frames, folded, clasped, and carried in like large square briefcases.”

Best Giant Outdoor Board Game

“Bought this for a family party. It was GREAT! Well-made with beautiful wood pieces. Easy setup AND breakdown afterward. (Advice: Save the box and Styrofoam for storage!) The game pieces were sturdy plastic, and overall the game was a hit. Recommended for all ages. Even the smaller kids just had fun dropping the chips in. We adults had a blast playing a game we all loved as kids. One of my favorite Amazon purchases.”

Best Croquet Set

“Was looking for the best-quality set I could find for the cheapest price for an inaugural croquet tournament with adults, and I was very happy with this purchase. Completed a three-hour match with alcohol-infused players, and all parts came out of it in great shape. I foresee this set lasting a long time.”

Best Badminton Set

“I have remains of four other ‘Walmart type’ badminton sets in the garage. Tons of birdies and rackets, but the weakest point was always the cheap nets and poles. So I went in search of another, better option. We got this one for a business event. It was a hit! It looks like a professional set. Really well-built and easy to set up. Packaged well. I loved the bright yellow as we played into the evening until we just couldn’t see anymore.”

Best Two-in-One Outdoor Game Set

“High-quality set, with robust parts for the net, end posts, and stakes. Really appreciated having the borderline that comes with the set, as it was a much easier way to establish borders for the two different sports. Setup itself takes only five minutes with two people involved (and that was without consulting the manual). I’ve played with plenty of less-expensive sets, and almost without fail, they will start to fall apart within the first few hours of use. Conversely, everything about this set is designed for repeated takedown and setup, with the apparent durability to enable that.”

Best Outdoor Game for Kids

“I bought this game for my 5-year-old grandson because he needs practice with his fine motor skills and to learn good sportsmanship. This game was just perfect for that and so much fun for the whole family. We all played with it the first night it arrived and loved it! My grandson was so happy to be able to make so many of the ring tosses onto the pegs, and by the end of the evening, he was very proud to be the WINNER. It was also easy to pick up and put away. Now he wants his own game for his house!”

Best Nighttime Outdoor Game for Kids

As Seen on TV Rocket Copters — the Amazing Slingshot LED Helicopters

“We bought these with no expectations. Cheap fun for the nieces and nephews. These were a BIG hit! After dinner, we took everyone outside as it was getting dark. We have a huge yard, which you’ll need. But they LOVED these things!!! They’re little rockets you fire up into the air, they whistle as they shoot off, and as they gently fall back to the ground, they have a little light on them, which looks cool. The kids had a blast with them — they figured out that if you hold down the paper end pieces as you shot them off, they’d go even FARTHER up in the air! It was nuts.”

Best Swedish-Import Outdoor Game

“Having lived in Scandinavia for a few years, I learned to play the very popular yard game that we called ‘the Viking game’ a few years ago. Had to have it now that I’ve moved back to the U.S. This product made by Bex is top quality. Exactly what I expected in terms of the wood quality and number and size of pieces. Very simple but very fun game (anyone who can throw a stick can play). Perfect for any sort of grass or beach surface.”

Best Gag-Gift Outdoor Game

“We love this game! Genius for leveling the playing field and creating a social environment if you have a bunch of awkward nerds who typically play highly rule-based games. Only a few rules and no skills apply. No matter your athletic ability, you cannot get ‘skilled’ at this game because the chicken goes where the chicken goes, no matter what. Again, perfect for leveling the playing field among players. Control freaks and rule worshipers — while perhaps being annoyed at first — will be surprised at the fun they are having by their third toss.”

Best Outdoor Game for Breaking a Sweat

“This game is so much fun and a great way to be active! In playing four games, I walked over 3,000 steps according to my Fitbit. I played later in the week and did another 3,000, so it really is a great way to exercise and have fun without even knowing that you are exercising so hard!”

Best Outdoor Game for the Beach

“Very fun, attracted a lot of attention at the beach. I thought I could make this game myself with buckets, but when I received it, I realized these are made just right for this game. They don’t feel like they would break easily to me unless they are used in a manner for which they’re not intended, i.e., sand toys and roughhousing.”

Best Outdoor Game for Tailgating

“It’s about time someone came up with something new, and this is by far the best tailgating game I’ve ever played. This game is so much fun, we take it to concerts and sporting events, and everyone wants to play. So easy to put together and take apart. Takes up very little storage space, too. There are various ways to play, so you won’t get bored. The boys like it because it’s more realistic than any other football game they’ve played. Quality construction, I thought for sure my kids would break it, but it’s extremely durable and built to last.”

Best Game for the Pool

Intex Pool Volleyball Game, 94” X 25” X 36” — for Ages 6+

“PERFECT, especially for the price. The set is very well made, and the weight bags are the best thing since sliced bread. You can’t beat this set for the price. We have used it for four parties already, with grown men occasionally falling into the net on a spike, and it’s none the worse for wear.”

Best Drinking Game for the Pool

GoPong Original Pool Party Barge Floating Beer Pong Table With Cooler, White, 6-Feet

“AMAZING!!! IT IS SO MUCH FUN!! The price is so low for a GREAT item! It’s lightweight and easy to move to different locations! When deflated, it’s small, so easy to store. The cooler in the middle is awesome! You are not jumping in and out of the pool constantly to get refills, so the party goes on with less interruptions! It’s a ton of fun having people around the table and places for them to place their beers. We use this in our lake (while floating on noodles to play), so the cup holders and cooler come in handy!! We have used this table several times, and each time we do, the people we play with are so impressed and ask where we got it!! Seriously, don’t look anywhere else. I truly recommend this item!!!”

Best

Another Eden

Another Eden is an interesting mobile JRPG. It has the same writer as Chrono Trigger along with the same composer. The interesting part is how many elements of Chrono Trigger's story end up in this game. It has time travel to various eras in history and there are some throwbacks to smaller scenes from Chrono Trigger. The game itself is a step above your standard mobile RPG. You roam around the game world with your companions instead of accepting missions like most. However, there are still gacha elements and simplified battle mechanics. There is no energy so you can play as much as you want to. It's surprisingly good for its genre and right up there Brave Exvius as one of our favorites.

Alto's Odyssey

Alto's Odyssey is a natural choice for a free Android game. It features simple mechanics, gorgeous graphics, and a relaxing style. Players ski down a hill while avoiding obstacles and making massive jumps. There are also items to collect that can be traded in for various customization options. The game relies heavily on its wallpaper-worthy graphics. They are simple, but effective and the dark, gradient colors add a good atmosphere for the game. It's completely free to download and play with some limited ads. There are in-app purchases, but they are all for customization stuff so it's entirely optional and it doesn't affect game play. It's kid friendly and fun. Noodlecake Studios makes a bunch of other great free Android games as well.

Asphalt 9: Legends

Mediafire
The Asphalt franchise has some of mobile's most popular racing games. Asphalt 8: Airborne and Asphalt Xtreme were the big ones in the series. However, Asphalt 9: Legends came out in July 2018. This is the most recent game in the series now. It includes 50 cars, a bunch of challenges, and a bunch of content to play with. That includes online multiplayer, single player stuff, and more. It uses an auto-go mechanism so you can't control your acceleration. That has angered some players. The graphics are good and there are social elements as well. It's a freemium game. Thus, the online competitive aspect may be skewed a bit. However, the single player stuff is classically good arcade racing.

Brawl Stars

Brawl Stars is Supercell's latest hit game. It's a brawler with online multiplayer elements as well as some MOBA elements. Players drop into a game with a couple of teammates, brawl with opponents, and try to win. There are a few game modes, including a straight brawl mode, a mode where you collect crystals, a heist mode where you steal the opponent's treasure, and a bounty mode where you beat specific opponents on a team. It feels like a Supercell game and that's mostly a good thing. Supercell also makes Clash Royale, Clash of Clans, and Boom Beach if you want something a little different. Brawl Stars was one of the biggest releases of 2018.

Critical Ops

Critical Ops is among the newer generation of first person shooters and it’s one of the best. In this title, you’ll battle terrorists in a variety of urban-oriented levels or you can play as the terrorists if you want to. It has a strong online multiplayer community where you can play with your friends as well. It’s still a work in progress, but it seems to hit all the right marks and it’s updated frequently. If you’d like a first person shooter that’s completely free, NOVA 3: Freedom Edition is quite good as well. They're both free Android games worth checking out.

EA Sports games

EA has the market cornered on sports games. They are the only developer with yearly launches for most sports, including their Madden NFL Overdrive game, FIFA Soccer, NBA Live Mobile, EA Sports UFC, and others. These games all have very similar elements. You can play the actual sport and there is a sim mechanic in all of these games. The graphics are usually pretty decent and the controls are generally good. However, EA sports games have heavy freemium elements. That is a frequent frustration for many players and it makes it difficult to recommend EA in general. Unfortunately, EA is the only developer that makes games for most sports so that makes them the best by default. There are a few soccer games (Dream League Soccer) and Motorsport (Motorsport Manager Mobile 3) that are really good too. EA also has some popular freemium games like Star Wars: Galaxy of Heros that people seem to really like.

Final Fantasy Brave Exvius

Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is perhaps the best Final Fantasy-themed freemium game out there. It features tons of elements from the original games, including actual town and dungeon explorations, hidden treasures, secret dungeons, and tons of lore. The game play is simple to learn but you’ll need to think critically in order to beat bosses and hard opponents. You’re frequently rewarded for logging in daily and additional missions, quests, and activities helps keep the game fresh. This is about as good as it gets for freemium titles. If this one isn’t doing it for you, but you love Final Fantasy, you can also try out Mobius Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy Record Keeper.. They round out a very positive group of freemium games from the Final Fantasy franchise.

Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft

Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is a card dueling game where you unlock cards, build decks, and then duel other players using the deck you built. You can build multiple decks and Blizzard has been pretty good with putting out regular updates to add more cards and content. You can also log into your account on mobile or on PC which is a really nice touch. If you don’t want to face real players in real-time PvP combat, you can always beat down on some bots for practice. It’s free to play which makes it easy and accessible for everyone to try out. It's definitely one of the best free Android games out there.

HQ Trivia

HQ Trivia is a hit new trivia game. It's a live game show where all players compete at the same time. There's a host that asks questions and people answer in real time. There are 12 questions per round with a ten second timer for each question. The people left standing after 12 questions split the winnings. Did we mention that it's real money? It's definitely something unique in the mobile gaming space. Games take place at 9PM EST every day with 3PM EST games on weekdays. That means there are 12 games per week. That makes it hard to burn out on the game too quickly. It's free to download with no in-app purchases. The developer is working on another game show style game in 2019 as well.

MADFINGER Games (several titles)

MADFINGER Games is one of the best mobile game developers for first person shooters. Their list of titles includes heavy hitters like the Shadowgun series (including their latest release, Shadowgun Legends), the Dead Trigger series (two games), and UNKILLED. Dead Trigger and UNKILLED are a family of zombie shooters with tons of missions, some online PvP content, and tons of stuff to do. Shadowgun is a sci-fi shooter series with a campaign, online PvP, and more. Most of the main games are freemium. They are all extremely good games despite that, though.

10 best game apps for Android! (Updated 2019)

15 best RPGs for Android! (Updated 2019)

Pocket City

Pocket City is one of the best games of 2018 and a natural for this list. The game is very similar to the old Sim City games. You build a city, create its infrastructure, make sure everybody has enough work and play, and even monitor your environmental impact. Players also get missions for experience points and unlockable buildings as you play. The game is surprisingly deep and you can generate reports about how happy your citizens are. The controls are surprisingly decent for a mobile game and it has a ton of content. The free version is a little smaller than its premium counterpart, but both versions play well. The free version contains ads. They aren't a big deal but it's something to be aware of. This is a fantastic game.

Pokemon Go

Pokemon Go was the biggest mobile game of 2016. Actually, it was the biggest ever. Even though its popularity has tapered off a bit, the game is still a very solid free option. Players can explore the real world around them all while catching Pokemon, taking down gyms, and finding Pokestops. New additions include legendary Pokemon, raid battles, trainer battles (with some caveats), and more. You can even trade Pokemon in the game now. The game continues to evolve beyond what many remember it to be. When it eventually ends its run, it'll go down as one of the greatest and most iconic mobile games ever.

PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite

PUBG Mobile hasn't been out globally for long. However, it's already one of the most popular mobile shooters available. It features a 100-player battle royale on a small island. Players collect gear, weapons, and vehicles on the island and battle it out. The winner is the last person standing. It also includes mechanics like a shrinking play area to keep games from going too long as well as an expanding list of content, cross-overs, and customization items. There is also a Lite version of PUBG Mobile with lighter graphics, fewer players per match, and more. It's only available for lower end devices, though.

Sky Force Reloaded

Sky Force Reloaded is the latest in the Sky Force franchise (which are all pretty good free Android games). Like its predecessors, Sky Force Reloaded is a top-down, scrolling shooter where you fly a plane and your goal is to defeat bad guys, avoid bullets, and perform all kinds of various quests. It’s an ode to the old school top-down shooters. Despite its highly improved graphics, the game stays true to those old shooters. The difference being that this one has better graphics. It’s a good overall experience just like the previous iterations were.

Vainglory

Vainglory is perhaps the best MOBA currently available on Android. It boasts high frame rates, unlimited free play, and solid connections. You’ll be able to team up with people and go head to head against other teams much like you see in all MOBAs. There are also decent graphics, more than 25 heroes to unlock and play with, and you can play with (or against) bots if you so choose. There is also a beta version that can use the Vulkan API if you want to check that out. It's one of the better free Android games.
