About

Pocket Arcade started as a group chat where four friends kept swapping links to mobile games. At some point we realized we were writing longer messages than most published reviews, so we moved everything to a proper site and kept the honesty intact.

We cover arcade, racing, RPG, strategy and everything in between. If a game runs on a phone and holds our attention for more than an afternoon, it gets a fair look. Nothing on this site is a sponsored placement dressed up as an opinion.

Games get picked in a simple way: someone plays something, brings it to the group, and if it survives a week of daily sessions we write it up. Recently we put a lot of hours into Big Bass Fishin and had plenty to say about how calm and satisfying its loop is.

We're a small independent crew, not a network. That means fewer articles than the big sites, but every one is something a real person sat down and finished.

Editor — Lukas has been reviewing mobile games for eight years and still keeps three phones on his desk for testing. He handles most of the racing and arcade coverage.
