Best Android and iOS Games of the Week [04/05/2023]

Finally, we arrived at another Thursday. For you who follow TechSmart, this means that today is the day to check out some of the best games of the most diverse genres recently released for Android and iOS.

This Thursday’s selection (04) brings highlights to Dumb Ways to Die 4 , the new generation of the popular free action and puzzle game; and LEGO Bricktales , the first adaptation of the title based on the mobile construction toy line where you can unleash your creativity in different themed environments.

It should be noted that the list below brings options for paid and free games. The price may vary according to the operating system, so it is possible for the same title to undergo changes in value. The cost difference is applied by the developer in order to mitigate the fees charged by the app stores, Google Play and the App Store.

Without further ado, let’s get to this week’s nominees!
