The Apple Design Awards (also known as the ADA) is a special event hosted by Apple Inc. at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). The event is meant to recognize the best and most innovative software (including games for Apple platforms) produced by independent developers. Currently the list includes 2014 - 2017 winners.

Ports of console/pc games to mobile platforms without compromises.

Cooperative games with careless gameplay. Fun and less violent stuff is here to keep positive vibe.

This is the list of high quality «short» storydriven games. Sometimes less is more. Starting a 100-hour RPG can be a matter of writing off an entire season of a year. The idea of a game you can finish in one night becomes increasingly appealing. The time of the complete walkthrough may vary from person to person, but as a rule the main storyline can be fully completed in approximately one night or less in first playthrough without speedrun technics.

Immersive sims are complex and ambitious creations by their very nature. These games combine elements of FPS, RPG, platforming and stealth into one seamless whole. The immersive sim is one of the most exclusive of PC gaming genres. Only around two dozen such games have been developed in the entire history of PC gaming, but at least a quarter of these would be considered among the best games ever made.

Games with unforgettable (surprising/insane/awesome/blew my mind) twist in the ending. Suggestions are welcome.

Time has no power over them. They were so cool then and with modern remakes have gotten even better. Praise to the studios that respect and preserve our memories.

Superb titles from newly formed development studios.

You can't imagine going through these games solo.
