PC gaming is experiencing strong sales, with discounts influencing purchasing decisions. Games often see price drops of up to 50% within seven months of release. For example, Avowed is currently priced at .89 after a 33% discount during the Steam Summer Sale. Notable discounts include Assassin's Creed Shadows, reduced by .50 since March, and Oblivion Remastered, which has also dropped in price since its April launch. The Patient Gamers subreddit, with over 750,000 subscribers, focuses on games at least a year old, allowing discussions on titles like Cyberpunk 2077 without the urgency of new releases. The gaming industry employs FOMO tactics, encouraging pre-orders for special editions, as early sales are crucial for a game's long-term success. Some suggest launching games at lower prices instead of relying on pre-order bonuses, as seen with Titanfall 2, which dropped in price shortly after release. Titles like Helldivers 2 and other recent releases have successfully launched at lower price points, indicating a shift towards value in the market. As competition grows, particularly with remastered classics and indie games like Peak, the pricing landscape is changing. Recommendation algorithms on social media are promoting personalized discovery of games. Steam sales provide newcomers with access to established titles at low prices, such as Civilization 6, demonstrating the ongoing appeal of older games amidst new releases.

In years past, I relied on a Pomodoro timer to keep my mind engaged, but I never found an app that enticed me to use it. Fomodoro is that app.Perhaps I appreciate its use of Material Design elements, making it look and feel like a part of Android.

Price: Free, in-app purchases start at $0.99 Developer: Exptional Global I’m not going to pretend that Marvel Mystic Mayhem is my kind of game, but there are plenty of things I really like about this new title. For one, the cutscenes resemble comic book pages with striking visuals. There are plenty of heroes to play as (and battle against), from the Hulk to Scarlet Witch.The game is a team-based auto-battler. Each character’s list of attacks is triggered by swiping on a card. The gameplay can feel nebulous, and I never found tactics to play all that big of a role. Nevertheless, some Marvel fans and those who enjoy the game’s RPG elements will get a kick out of it. Mur Launcher This new Android launcher takes a leaf from Windows Phone’s playbook. Price: Free, in-app purchases from $0.99 Developer: Incendiary Pigs I’m a simple man: I see a promising new launcher, I include it on this list. Mur Launcher is the latest to pique my interest, and that’s all down to its unique concept.The developer is heavily inspired by Windows Phone, especially Metro UI, which really comes through in the launcher’s tile-like aesthetic. The big difference is that these tiles can include multiple elements, from live information, widgets, and simple icons.I gave it a whirl for a day, and while I do see the potential in the concept, the app isn’t quite ready for prime time. It only just rolled out its open beta, so there’s a long road still to go, and I’m eager to revisit it in a few months. Phantom Tower Why do we climb the tower? I’m not sure, but we do. Price: Free, in-app purchases start at $0.99 Developer: Horien Studio Phantom Tower is a rather cute but frantic roguelike that sees the protagonist slowly ascending a 100-floor tower by defeating waves of enemies. The game includes RPG elements, so expect resource collection, gear mods to boost base stats, and various power-ups called glyphs.As you can probably imagine (and see for yourself with the trailer above), gameplay is fast-paced, but attacks feel weighty, and enemies can be genuinely terrifying when they swarm you.It’s certainly a fun game to pass the time, and thanks to its relatively low asking price, it’s not too demanding on the wallet, either. SEGA’s Classic free titles They’re SEGA classics. They’re free. What more do you want? Price: Free Developer: SEGA Nick Fernandez / Android AuthorityThis month’s last title isn’t a new Android game nor a single title. However, it’s something that you’ll want to grab for your phone before it’s too late. A list of nine retro SEGA titles is currently free to download, and probably won’t be available on the Play Store for much longer. They’re being discontinued in the coming weeks.I’ve snagged and tucked them safely in my Play Store library.

Mur Launcher is the latest to pique my interest, and that’s all down to its unique concept.The developer is heavily inspired by Windows Phone, especially Metro UI, which really comes through in the launcher’s tile-like aesthetic. The big difference is that these tiles can include multiple elements, from live information, widgets, and simple icons.I gave it a whirl for a day, and while I do see the potential in the concept, the app isn’t quite ready for prime time. It only just rolled out its open beta, so there’s a long road still to go, and I’m eager to revisit it in a few months. Phantom Tower Why do we climb the tower? I’m not sure, but we do. Price: Free, in-app purchases start at $0.99 Developer: Horien Studio Phantom Tower is a rather cute but frantic roguelike that sees the protagonist slowly ascending a 100-floor tower by defeating waves of enemies. The game includes RPG elements, so expect resource collection, gear mods to boost base stats, and various power-ups called glyphs.As you can probably imagine (and see for yourself with the trailer above), gameplay is fast-paced, but attacks feel weighty, and enemies can be genuinely terrifying when they swarm you.It’s certainly a fun game to pass the time, and thanks to its relatively low asking price, it’s not too demanding on the wallet, either.

One of my interests is uncovering and testing new Android apps and games, and each month for the past few years, I’ve detailed the best new products you should try. The July edition includes my new favorite productivity app, yet another unique Android launcher, and a new Marvel game for superhero fans.Let’s jump right in. Here are the best new Android apps and games you should try in July 2025. What is your favorite new Android app or game this month?8 votesFomodoro50%Marvel Mystic Mayhem0%Mur Launcher25%Phantom Tower13%One of SEGA's retro titles13%Another app or game (mention them in the comments section).0%Fomodoro A clean, Material-inspired interval timer to bolster your productivity. Price: Free Developer: Arijit-05 I’m constantly battling to refine and maximize my work life. In years past, I relied on a Pomodoro timer to keep my mind engaged, but I never found an app that enticed me to use it. Fomodoro is that app.Perhaps I appreciate its use of Material Design elements, making it look and feel like a part of Android. The timer itself packs in all the Pomodoro items you might need, including adjustments for setting focus and break lengths. A stats section also outlines streak lengths and other motivational productivity details. Marvel Mystic Mayhem Marvel fans, assemble! Price: Free, in-app purchases start at $0.99 Developer: Exptional Global I’m not going to pretend that Marvel Mystic Mayhem is my kind of game, but there are plenty of things I really like about this new title. For one, the cutscenes resemble comic book pages with striking visuals. There are plenty of heroes to play as (and battle against), from the Hulk to Scarlet Witch.The game is a team-based auto-battler. Each character’s list of attacks is triggered by swiping on a card. The gameplay can feel nebulous, and I never found tactics to play all that big of a role. Nevertheless, some Marvel fans and those who enjoy the game’s RPG elements will get a kick out of it.

The divide between console and PC gaming has blurred, with genres crossing platforms. Classic computer games, like those in the Warcraft series, still benefit from mouse and keyboard precision. The Warcraft franchise has significantly influenced the real-time strategy (RTS) genre, with a remastered collection of the trilogy now available for PC players through Game Pass. Warcraft: Orcs & Humans set a new standard for RTS games, introducing intricate missions and online multiplayer. Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness solidified the series' status with enhanced AI and user-friendly controls, while also being ported to PlayStation and Sega Saturn. Warcraft III redefined the series by emphasizing hero units and intertwining narratives, leading to the events of World of Warcraft. The remastered versions, including Warcraft III: Reforged, have improved significantly and are accessible through Game Pass, providing a convenient way to experience these influential titles. The Warcraft trilogy is available on PC and included with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
