Lifehacker brings to your attention a selection of Android games that Google has named the best of 2016.
Check out which Android games were most frequently installed, commented on, and rated throughout 2016. It was these criteria that influenced the choice of the editorial board of Google Play.
Best Game of the Year
Clash Royale is a multiplayer strategy game in which you attack enemy fortifications with the help of swordsmen, pyrotechnics and other controlled characters. The game is replete with combat units, tournaments and arenas, so it does not get bored with every new battle. Clash Royale appeared on Google Play at the very beginning of 2016, but has already crossed the 50 million install mark. In general, everyone should try.
Most played games
In addition to the three children's games, this section contains something very strange called Troll Face Quest. It is a series of mini-quests in which you can win and lose in the most unexpected ways. But no matter how the level develops, it will make you smile. The fun is free, but filled with advertising to the eyeballs.
Most competitive games
The section consists of two strategies, an RPG and a football simulator. Each game stands out for its high-quality elaboration, but, of course, FIFA from Electronic Arts stands apart. The company has transferred 17,000 real players from 650 teams to smartphones. At the same time, the simulator has taken root in a new mode in which the players do not sit in defense at all, but alternately compete in the attack: the action on the field is always spectacular and dynamic.
The most unusual games
Probably the most intriguing five. The only pity is that not everything in her is for nothing. Free The Bearded Man saves his small but eventful life, in which friends and frenzy take the main place. Adventure quest exactly conveys the atmosphere of the popular show.
There is also an energetic Lost in Harmony. Every action in the game takes place in time with the music, be it a jump or overcoming an obstacle. It is noteworthy that the developers resorted to the services of professional composers and allowed players to create their own levels with their favorite songs.
Best indie games
Looking for peace and tranquility? Welcome to the water column with Zen Koi and Deep Sea Aquarium. In the first case, you have to take care of a cute fish, and in the second - for corals. A relaxing melody will put in order the most shattered nerves.
Are you thirsty for adventure? Install The Last Vikings. A fearless Viking and full sails of the wind will be in your command. Pixel graphics add zest to the game.
Most addictive games
The steering wheel of a sports car, the fork of a fancy bike, the cockpit of a combat robot or a Jedi sword in hand - choose your dose of adrenaline. For those who are smaller, there is a variant: toy DC Comics characters, decorated in the LEGO style, will make you feel like a real hero or … a villain!
Most compelling games
The children's selection turned out. The only "adult" representative is Stack, a one-button game where you need to stop building blocks in time to build the highest tower possible. The arcade is so simple that many wonder how it can grab people's attention.
The most beautiful games
You will not find a riot of colors that hurts your eyes. The only exception can be called Dots & Co. The rest is simply beautiful and very original. For example, Mekorama turned out to be extremely addictive. In the puzzle, you need to rotate a three-dimensional platform and make a path along it to the exit. Another recommendation is Alto's Adventure. The action is dedicated to those people who dream of pushing off the springboard and soaring on skis towards winter beauty.

Deus Ex GO SQUARE ENIX LTD
Mekorama Martin Magni
Best for the whole family
If you lack silence, leave your child for an hour with your favorite be-bears or Masha. After the energized games, double your RPG adventure awaits. Of course, YouTube stands apart for the youngest viewers, with its endless stream of entertainment and educational videos for the whole family.
