2) Space Marshals

Since being released on iOS platforms back in 2015, Space Marshals has remained one of the best inter-galactic action games for smartphones. The plot of PixelBite’s Wild West masterpiece revolves around hunting down criminals across different galaxies.

However, even though it sounds like the X-Com series, this sci-fi game has more to it. Players have to choose the right gear and weapons, take cover, and time their attacks properly. You can enter the game guns blazing or you can try and sneak through different levels.

4) Limbo

Developed by Playdead and published for Xbox 360 by Microsoft Game Studios, this puzzle-platformer was one of the pioneers of the black-and-white formula in-game.

The in-game atmosphere and puzzles are very interesting. In this 2D side-scroller, players will guide an unnamed boy through dark environments and traps to find his sister. The developers of the game have termed its design as "trial and death," expecting the players to fail many times in trying to find the right solution to the puzzles.

Many games have since tried to copy the black-and-white model but nothing beats the gameplay of Limbo.

Released in 2017, the game's story revolves around an old man’s adventures after receiving a letter. This game is undoubtedly one of the most polished in the genre.
