Kotaku unveiled their picks on some of the best games for the iPad. Some of these games are also available on the PC. Like any other game ported for mobile, they have to be optimized in such way so that mobiles can render them properly without any issues that may affect the game. So below are some of the best games for iPad this year.

Papers Please. Papers Please is set in a fictional world called Arstotzka, which is a communist state back in the 1980s. This game is recommended for those who enjoy bureaucratic games. The game features concepts where players must design if they are letting in citizens and foreigners inside their nation's borders. Derived from its title, Papers, Please will deal with a lot of documents so make sure to be prepared to miss your stop.

Kingdom Rush. Kingdom Rush is a medieval tower defense game. The goal of the game is to defend the castle from the enemies that attempt to reach it. Players can place barracks and towers to help defend the castle and even lets players rain down meteors in order to help to defend the base. Good for those who prefer strategy games on the go.

Pokemon Go. Everyone knows Pokemon Go. Developed by Niantic Labs, Pokemon Go is an augmented reality app that lets players catch their favorite Pokemon using real-life places. Millions have downloaded and played the game since its release last July. However, the number of players decreased because of the lack of new mechanics. But with the game's addition with the Generation 2 Pokemon, people are slowly trickling back into playing the game.

Clash Royale. From the popular developers of Clash of Clans, comes a new game from Supercell called Clash Royale. This is a spin-off of Clash of Clans. The game's objective is same with most tower defense games: defend your base with your troops. Since it is a spin-off, some of the spells, units, and characters from Clash of Clans returns in Clash Royale. This is a good game for fans of Clash of Clans and the best of all, this game is free!

Hearthstone. Almost everyone is familiar with Hearthstone. It is a card game developed by Blizzard. Originally a PC game through Battle.net, the game seemed to be more suitable to play on a tablet or iPad. The game is similar to Magic: The Gathering. Players can get to customize their decks to suit their play styles all while taking persona with some familiar names from the original Warcraft series.

Super Mario Run.  Nintendo managed to port one of their iconic franchises into mobile. The goal of the game is to gather coins throughout the level to unlock new skills and new levels to choose from. Released earlier this month, Super Mario Run garners mixed feedbacks from the players. According to Forbes, it's an "F2P Game Crammed Awkwardly." Nevertheless, Super Mario Run lands a spot for the best games for the iPad.
