Best new mobile games on iOS and Android – January 2025 round-up Political satire, a triple-A racing game, and a host of intriguing new puzzle games are amongst the most intriguing new smartphone games this month.
There’s a puzzle theme to this month’s collection of new mobile gaming apps, from Boggle to Wobble, but the most interesting new releases include the portable version of Codemasters’ GRID Legends, a lavish new tower defence game, and the very short but very timely The Undeclaration Of Human Rights.
If all that sounds like going back to school, you may well find the long-dormant parts of your brain – those associated with mental arithmetic – getting booted back to life, which feels like the puzzle-solving version of going to the gym for the first time in 20 years.

You’re recruited by the General as his head of Human Rights Violations, to help get rid of those irksome, boring UN articles that get in the way of real progress.
