How scores work
How we score mobile games.
Every reviewed game gets a score out of 10. We use it to answer one simple question: is this game worth downloading on Android or iOS?

What the score covers
We evaluate the mobile experience.
A score can use Games Ranker’s own mobile play or attributed first-hand testing from named, reputable reviewers. Each game page labels the review basis so readers can distinguish our direct experience from evidence reported by another tester.
We evaluate the game itself as well as touch controls, price, extra purchases, performance, storage, and device support. The final score is not a simple average, because one serious problem can matter more than several small strengths. The written assessment explains the evidence and limitations behind the result.
Five checks
What we look at.
Phone experience
Are the touch controls, text, menus, and play sessions comfortable on a smaller screen?
Value
Do the quality and amount of play feel fair for the full price?
Ads & purchases
Do ads, passes, currencies, timers, or paid items interrupt or pressure the player?
Performance
Does the game run well, fit the device, respect battery life, and work offline when promised?
Step by step
How we review a game.
- 01Find the right mobile version
We confirm whether the game is on Android, iOS, or both, and identify its price and developer.
- 02Collect mobile play evidence
We use our own play when available. Otherwise, we require attributed first-hand testing from named reviewers and record the devices, scope, observations, and missing details.
- 03Check the facts and costs
We verify storage, requirements, offline play, controller support, price, ads, and extra purchases.
- 04Give it a score
We apply the same five criteria, choose a score out of 10, and explain the evidence, strengths, problems, and review basis.
- 05Keep the page updated
We show when store details were last checked and update the page when important facts change.
