Mobile games are ideal for spending time in dead moments outside the home, and it is a pity to be prevented from playing just because there is no internet connection available at that time.Furthermore, mobile games that only work with an internet connection, consume much more battery power, often display advertisements and, in many cases, require a stable and functioning connection.
To play on your smartphone on the train, in the plane, at the sea, in the mountains, in any place where the phone does not take, where there are no wifi networks to connect to and when you do not want to stay online to avoid being bothered by messages and notifications , you can find many level games that work offline.
In this article, we see the 40 best games for Android and iOS, which can be played offline from your mobile (Samsung, HTC, LG, Huawei, Honor, Nokia, etc.), from iPhone, iPad, and other tablets, even without an internet connection, for all tastes.
