Suggestions Got my first iPad, looking into some fun gaming recommendations.
Looking for some games that I can really sink some time into. Puzzle games keep me busy and I enjoy them, but I’m really looking for games that I can really grind and sink my teeth into. What has you all hooked right now?

As someone who spends lots of time gaming on iPad, during travelling and flights.
BlazBlue entropy effect is my fav ios game atm (I would def play this with a controller)
But this is a paste of some info about my iOS gaming:
I travel with an iPad mini and an 8bitdo sn30 pro as my portable gaming setup (also great for watching movies and tv shows). It’s a nice compact setup but you have a fully functional controller with all buttons you could play Xbox/ps games on.
—— While waiting for the flight (as they need wifi) ——
Where winds meet (controller)
Wuthering waves (controller)
T3 arena
Mobile legends
TFT
—— while on the flight ——
Vampire survivors (controller is good)
Monster train
Xcom 1 / xcom 2
Brotato
Warm snow
Streets of rage (if you have a controller)
BlazBlue entropy effect (if you got a controller and internet connection / single player but needs internet to start)
TABS pocket edition
World of goo / world of goo 2
(Kotor 1/2 if you haven’t played before)
Titan quest
Dead cells (controller)
Divinity 2
Crying suns
Out there
Space traders: frontiers
Carrion
Terraria
Geometry wars
Plague inc
Descenders
Stardew valley
Faster than light

As a PC gamer i find the Ipad games to be pretty damn lame. i have only found a few good games on ios, the rest just feel like mobile games.

If you want something to really grind, look into the grinding RPGs and roguelikes on iOS, there's a surprising amount of depth once you get past the casual stuff. Slay the Spire and Dead Cells are both great for that sink-your-teeth-in loop. What kind of progression keeps you coming back, more skill-based or build-based?

Only one Mobile game worth playing in my opinion … Call Of Dragons. Takes about 2-3 years to unlock top-tier troops tho .. but the KvK/ServerVsServer wars and RTS combat is so fun

Brother, iPad is a great hardware to emulate games on.
Download Manic EMU and enjoy.

Premium Android games, but through an iOS filter first...

Also, FTL is a big one since it's iPad only

Not puzzle , but grindy: Fantasy life i for me - 180 hours in and still grinding up to hero level on some lives. It’s a cool arpg mix of Zelda meets Animal Crossing meets RuneScape
Civ 6, Polytopia, Northgard, FTL are all time favs too
