You might remember this thread, featuring a vast selection of mobile games across various genres. However, the sheer amount of games meant it was impossible to add new games to the genre categories, effectively making the whole idea of "games categorized by genre" useless
So this is a soft reboot of that thread. An annual series of threads showcasing the best releases from the year by genre.
The purpose of this thread is to highlight the diverse, varied, and just overall great games you can find on IOS. From the stellar ports to the dozens of exclusive titles, mobile is thriving platform and this thread is meant to highlight the best that the platform has to offer. Maybe you're getting a new iDevice for Christmas and want to learn about good mobile games or just want some recommendations, so enjoy

This thread only covers 2015 releases (well, maybe a few 2014 games might have snuck in, but mainly 2015). For a categorized list of games from before, you can browse the previous Why IOS Rocks thread:
- Why IOS Rocks: The Gritty Reboot
If you want to discuss new releases and upcoming games, you can come by the monthly IOS Gaming threads:
- iOS Gaming December 2015 | F2P is frightful, but the sales are so delightful
I don't particularly follow Android releases, so sorry in advance for games that might not be available there. If you want to discuss Android games, you'll probably find this thread helpful:
- Android Gaming Thread: News & Recommendations
Here are dedicated OTs for some of the more popular 2015 mobile games:
- Downwell |OT| Footwear firepower (Downward roguelite shooter from Devolver,PC/mobile)
- Warhammer 40k: Deathwatch |OT| Honor your chapter, crush the Tyranids (iOS)
- Lara Croft GO |OT| Rise of the (touchscreen) Tomb Raider
- Galactic Keep |OT| The sprawling sci-fi digital tabletop RPG, 6 years in the making
- Prune |OT| A gorgeous zen love letter to trees and the joy of cultivation
- Implosion - A sci-fi hack-n-slash for mobile ($9.99, no IAP)
And if you'd like to vote for your favorite mobile games of 2015, you can find the Mobile GOTY Voting thread here:
- Mobile Game of the Year 2015 - Voting
Browsing the App Store itself to find quality games is a nigh-impossible task, but thankfully, there are several sites you can visit to learn about new releases and upcoming games, read reviews and previews, and learn about sales:
- Toucharcade
- Pocket Gamer
- PocketTactics
- Appshopper
