DraftKings Fantasy Sports
Sport is a global phenomenon but when it comes to fandom nowhere does it quite as well as here in the United States. Sure there are soccer stadiums in Buenos Aires, London and Munich that are rocking every weekend with tens of thousands of avid fans, but do they enjoy the same wall-to-wall coverage of their favourite sports as Americans?
Not likely. Whether you’re a basketball, baseball or football fan you can practically fill all of your spare time reading about, listening about or watching your favourite sports team. But if that’s not enough, you can always try out fantasy sports and in particular fantasy football.
DraftKings are the industry leaders when it comes to fantasy football in the United States and their amazing app gives you access to everything a budding fantasy football coach needs right at the tip of your fingers.
Football Manager 23
Okay, we’ve just mentioned how no other sport does it quite like an American sport and we’re immediately going to contradict ourselves by shining a light on one of the greatest sports RPGs of all-time – Football Manager.
Created by Sports Interactive, Football Manager is the most in-depth and detailed sports simulation on the planet that allows you to take control of almost every professional soccer team on the planet and control everything from match tactics right down to training regime and youth development.
If you’re a soccer fan, heck if you’ve even only watched one game of soccer in your life, download this game and prepare to embark on a 1,000-hour odyssey into the world of Football Manager.
(Every sports fan will enjoy the detail and immersion of playing Football Manager.)
Raid: Shadow Legends
Your favourite streamer isn’t lying, Raid: Shadow Legends is actually an awesome game and not just a high-paying YouTube sponsor. Developed by Plarium Games, Raid is a freemium game that was first released on the market back in July 2018.
Since then it has amassed a playing audience of just over 62 million and racked up sales of over $10 billion. What makes this game so appealing to a wide audience is that it is a boots and braces turn-based RPG which helps to significantly reduce the skill gap, resulting in a game that can be enjoyed by a wide demographic of players.

Aralon: Forge and Flame
If you’re a console gamer the world of mobile gaming can often feel a little underwhelming and subpar. Most titles have poor gameplay and limited graphics, certainly in comparison to their console counterpart.
This game however features some of the best graphics and gameplay in the mobile world and the result is fantastic. Think of it like a mobile version of Skyrim with a compelling storyline and some great missions and areas to explore.

Genshin Impact
Developed by miHoYo and released in 2020, Genshin Impact has gone on to take the mobile RPG world by storm. The game features an anime style open world that allows players to battle it out using elemental magic and character switching.
It’s available to play on a console but can be enjoyed just as much on your mobile device and has dozens upon dozens of hours of content to enjoy making it one of the most cost-efficient mobile RPGs on the market.
