Mobile phones have reached a completely new level of performance in recent years. While ten years ago we only played very simple games on them, today we can play faithful ports of console games on them. However, together with the performance, the control options did not improve in any fundamental way, and they remained as rigid as ever. You can easily shoot multi-colored birds from a slingshot in Angry Birds on the touch screen, but walking while shooting in the latest Call of Duty is quite problematic. Game controllers are one of the solutions for avid gamers.

If you own one of these controllers yourself, or were inspired by our last article and are considering buying one, you may feel overwhelmed by the number of games on Google Play that will allow you to get the most out of your new piece of electronics. In this article, we bring you five tips for games that get along best with game controllers.
Minecraft
Minecraft certainly needs no introduction. The game, which earned Mojang an incredible amount of money and secured a buyout by Microsoft itself, originally made its way to mobile phones back in 2011 as part of an exclusive deal only on Xperia Play devices. Since then, of course, mobile Minecraft has kept up with the times. Currently, it fully supports playing on modern game controllers, which will ensure you a smooth experience in one of the most popular games in history.
Call of Duty Mobile
Perhaps the most famous FPS series of all time only saw its first proper mobile incarnation in October 2019. Since then, however, it has firmly stood at the top of the list of the most popular mobile titles. At the same time, first-person shooters are notorious for not being easy to control on touch devices. While some players can handle the combination of movement, camera control and aiming very well anyway, it's better to sit down with a game controller that allows you to enjoy the game as you know it from home consoles.
Alien: isolation
Like Call of Duty: Mobile, Alien: Isolation benefits from the fact that first-person games are better controlled with gamepads after all. However, the award-winning horror originally from mobile game porting experts Feral Interactive doesn't require you to have quick reflexes and a killer fly. In the game, you sneak into the role of the daughter of the main character of the original film and tremble in fear of an intelligent xenoform. The mobile port has earned a lot of praise for its controls, but if you use a game controller, it opens up much-needed visual space to immerse yourself in the teeth-rattling experience.
Stardew Valley
The simple-looking farming simulator has become a phenomenon since its original release in 2016, and deservedly so. The game from the developer Concerned Ape is really phenomenal and can keep anyone busy for dozens of hours. In addition, a lot has changed since the original version, and now you can, for example, grow pumpkins and go on dangerous expeditions to the mines even in cooperative mode. The game is quite difficult to control using the touch screen, so the game controller can make the long hours spent with it much more pleasant.
Dead Cells
Dead Cells is considered one of the undisputed jewels of the roguelike genre. The action game benefits from great gameplay with a huge selection of different original weapons that completely change each of your playthroughs. At the same time, Dead Cells with its smooth gameplay clearly invites you to pick up a quality game controller. In addition, the developers are always supporting the game with new additions, so you will definitely not get bored while playing it.
