Google Play Pass: Turn your phone into a Nintendo Switch with these games

Google Play Pass is a very generous deal. For only $5 a month, an Android user gets a treasure chest of utilities, games, and features. I am currently using it to pacify a toddler and to play the games I cannot afford at full price. In my last article I looked at 10 games that were playable on the Nintendo Switch at full price. I found that the list needed another article because there are way more.

Keep in mind, if you are not a fan of touch screen controls than you are better off sticking with the Switch, but those who are looking for a very generous deal on hundreds of games should give Google Play Pass a try.

10. Teslagrad

Teslagrad by Playdigious is a Metroidvania that will excite the late Victorian electro punk fans. If you ever wanted to know what it was like to control Nikola Tesla and solve puzzles with electricity then you are in luck. This is one of those indie games you always see on sale, but you are waiting for your sign to try it. This is your sign.

9. Sparklite

I always thought Sparklite was a Legend of Zelda for kids whose parents thought Legend of Zelda was too violent. There is actually a surprising amount of depth. This roguelite will have you playing multiple rounds to get stronger and defeat all the dungeons. The more structures and shops you build the stronger you will be for the next play through. It’s light-hearted and cute, but definitely good for a challenge.

8. Terraria

Though terraria has been in the shadow of Minecraft for many years, it should not be overlooked in the slightest. This is a crafting and survival game at heart, but beneath the layers of the world lies endless possibilities. It would be robbery not to include 505 Games in the history books of famous crafting games. You can hook up a Bluetooth controller to this game if you want to get the console experience.
