I’ll also be comparing how this looks on rival phones like the upcoming Razer Phone 2.ĭisclosure: Apple provided me with an iPhone XS Max for the purposes of this review. But I’d like to see how games that are specifically designed to take advantage of things like 3D Touch, Face ID, and other features of the phone will fare in the months to come. The screen is good and the games are being tweaked to run on it. But that tells you how fast smartphone technology and 3D graphics on battery-operated devices is moving.Īs you can tell from my experiences with the games, we’re still in an early launch stage for the iPhone XS Max. If you had told me that an iPhone would be running a two-year-old PC game in all of its glory, I would have thought you were nuts. Sid Meier’s Civilization VI, a game that came out on the PC in 2016, can run beautifully on the iPhone XS Max, as you can also see in the video. I thought the shiny cars and spinning wheels were also very cool to look at. I also look at Zynga’s CSR 2 drag racing game. The movement is fluid, and the effects are good, like the sparks that fly when swords clash. I fired it up and you can see the great 3D graphics in the video. One of them was Shadow Fight 3, a sword fighting game from Nekki. Apple recommended a bunch of games in the app store that are perfect for showing off the iPhone XS Max. The performance is much better on the new iPhone than the older one, and the sound is awesome coming out of the stereo speakers. The game is so much better on a bigger screen, where you can see particles floating in the air and much more fluid movement in complex 3D battle scenes. Dawn of Titans came out at the high end, with cool graphics that you can see in the video embedded here. But now it does, and it looks so much more gorgeous on the new phone than it did on my old iPhone 6, which had a tiny 4.7-inch screen, compared to the iPhone XS Max’s 6.5-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen. That game didn’t work on the iPhone XS Max either. I also tried out another of my favorites, Dawn of Titans. But eventually, they’re going to fix these things, and you have to be patient. ![]() The Pokémon Go problem has lasted a lot longer than I would have expected, given that shipments started on September 21. If you’ve never played a Civilization game before or just. You’ve heard, maybe, about how you had to have the new iPhone’s screen on when you plugged in the power cord for it to start charging the phone. Beyond Earth has officially landed and with it, a new set of challenges amidst the backdrop of Civilization’s strategic mechanics. Beyond Earth is nowhere near the strongest game in the more than 20-year-old Civilization series, but this big collection of interesting experimental ideas definitely still kept me. The moral of the story is that even new stuff breaks. ![]() Niantic says they are still working on that fix. When I tried to turn off the augmented reality feature that shows the Pokémon out in the wild, it failed. Lo and behold, Pokémon Go was running again. Then three days ago, Niantic launched a new update with creatures of the Sinnoh region.
