What players are saying

Short notes from readers who tested our action picks on their daily commute.

★★★★★

"Picked up Dye Hard on the train and finished a full match before my stop. Finally a shooter that does not eat half my battery in ten minutes."

— Marco V., Porto
★★★★★

"Your Rainbow Six review convinced me to give the mobile version a real chance. The controls do feel tight, just like you said. Good call on the aim assist note."

— Patrícia G., Lisbon
★★★★☆

"Western Sniper is way more relaxing than I expected. I drop in for two missions, close the app, and feel like I actually had a break."

— Luís N., Faro

Things readers usually ask

If your question is not here, send it via the form below.

Why focus on action games?

Action is what our small editorial team plays during the week. Concentrating on one genre means our notes about controls, aim assist and lag detection stay sharp, instead of spreading thin across the whole Play Store.

Do you accept review copies or sponsorships?

We accept free review copies but never paid placements. If a developer sends us a key, we mention it at the top of the review and the score is not adjusted in any way. Honest reviews are the only thing we have to offer.

How do you grade a game?

We score along four axes: controls, performance, ad pressure and time respect. The final write-up is a short summary, not a number, because we want readers to decide based on the description rather than chase a rating.

Will you ever cover iOS?

Possibly. For now we focus on Android because the editorial team uses Android devices daily. If an action game is also on iOS and the experience is the same, we mention it inside the review.

Is the newsletter spammy?

No. We send at most one email per fortnight with the new picks of the period. You can unsubscribe with a single tap and we never share the list with third parties.

About Play Picks

Play Picks is an independent portal about mobile games, founded in 2024 by two editors who used to write for a print magazine that no longer exists. Today we live in Portugal and play every title before writing a review. We focus on action games for Android that are free to start and fair to play.

We pick games using simple rules. The title must run well on common phones, including older models with a few years of use. It should respect player time, avoid heavy ads, and offer clear progress without locking the fun behind a paywall. We do not accept paid placements that bend our opinion, and reviews are never edited after publication unless an update meaningfully changes the experience.

This portal is for readers who want a short, honest take before they install a new app. If a game is not worth your time, we say so. If it is, we explain why in a few clear lines. Everything else — banners, popups, autoplay videos — we leave out on purpose.
