Top Three Mobile Games of 2017
2017 was a year of digital innovation, epic motion pictures, and most importantly for video gameaholics like us, groundbreaking mobile games. GameTruck Charlotte has narrowed down the top three mobile games of 2017, so far. PlaneScape Torment, Monument Valley 2, , and Silly Walks have captured our attention spans and drained our phone batteries. Just watch their gametrailers and you’ll be hooked, too.
Planescape: Torment
The recent release of PlaneScape Torment has brought back memories of mobile games from before bus games even existed. The newest version called Torment: Tides of Numenera has gamers buzzing as the predecessor 1999 game called Planescape: Torment was one of the best of its time. Both versions feature an isometric RPG taking place in the world of Dungeons & Dragons, the original being considered a cult classic. Renowned for the weird, engrossing and intricate story behind it, now easily accessible through mobile applications. We can’t get enough of the peculiar characters, humour and emotional impact.
Monument Valley 2
Monument Valley by maker ustwo is a unique experience for mobile gaming. This sequel has been argued to be less engaging than the first one, Monument Valley 2 remains an enchanting world. The new version is loaded with new characters, twisting and turning the buildings to solve nail-biting puzzles and generate new, Escher-style paths to reach the next level. As one progresses through the game, they can use techniques from the original version to get ahead in MV2.
Silly Walks
What could be more exciting than a game where you act as a pineapple on a quest to rescue your fruit pals before they get turned into fruit smoothies? Your one action as the pineapple is consistently tapping the screen to put the next foot down. The primary challenge is that the pineapple (other avatars can be unlocked) has a clumsy approach. Your wobbly gait will makes straight lines a challenge as you traverse hazardous kitchens and rescue your friends from tropical homicide. Silly Walks is colorful and lightly exhilarating for the average mobile game player.

The Top 3 Video Game Soundtracks of 2017
At GameTruck we wanted to find the best video game soundtracks, and it was surprisingly difficult! We had a hard time because we’ve played hundreds of games and hosted hundreds of game truck mobile video game parties in Jacksonville making it hard to choose a favorite. After many hours of listening to track after track to narrow down our list, we got together to vote. Finally, we are excited to announce we found our top three favorite video game soundtracks of 2017!
A Game Truck Favorite: Sonic Mania
We had a great time playing this game! This game combines classic background gameplay music with new and exciting fast-paced music. We loved that they kept some of the original Sonic the Hedgehog songs and remixed them to make them even better for the video game soundtrack! Nothing can beat an upgraded classic.
You can find this game at GameStop, Amazon, or at Walmart. Sonic Mania is available for Xbox One, PS4, PC, and the Nintendo Switch. If you want to listen to these tunes before you decide to buy the game, you can find them on YouTube.
Next, We Enjoyed The Yooka-Laylee Soundtrack
This game comes from the creators of the classic game Banjo. This game concept was presented on Kickstarter and raised more than twelve and half times their goal. After its long anticipation, it’s finally here. You can find this game on Amazon, Best Buy, or Toys R Us. Yooka-Laylee is available for Xbox One, PS4, PC, and the Nintendo Switch.
Finally, We Agreed That Nier: Automata Should Be In The Top Three
This game involves androids and a lot of moving parts. You will find yourself joining the resistance of androids that are trying to take back earth from machine lifeforms. Sounds amazing, right? We won’t tell you anything more as we don’t want to spoil the game for you. When you’re ready to buy Nier: Automata, you can find it Best Buy, eBay, GameStop, and Walmart. Nier: Automata is available for PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Windows.
