How much of your phone is a game allowed to take? Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail want storage, battery and a gacha budget, and both pages put numbers on all three. Roblox is thousands of games wearing one icon, so its review is mostly about moderation, purchases and what a parent should know. Pokémon GO needs you outdoors with a decent fix. Terraria is the odd one out, a whole game with no meter attached.

Verdicts at a glance

Roblox 8.4/10 A remarkable platform for young players and aspiring developers, but the Robux economy and moderation gaps make parental involvement a necessity rather than an option.
Pokémon GO 5.8/10 A genuinely innovative game that has made itself harder to love with successive monetization changes targeting its most engaged players.
Genshin Impact 7.4/10 An extraordinary mobile achievement hamstrung by a monetization model that makes its best content feel earned only for spenders.
Honkai: Star Rail 7.0/10 A well-crafted turn-based RPG with genuine production values, wrapped in a gacha economy that will test the patience of free-to-play players.
Terraria 8.0/10 One of the best-value games on Android with content depth that is hard to beat, but the touchscreen control friction is a genuine barrier that never fully disappears.
