You might remember that last week, with the Apple event announcing the new iPhone 7, it seemed like developers were a bit hesitant to launch any new games and potentially have their thunder stolen by all the hullabaloo. Well, this week isn’t much different, as the launch of iOS 10 and a deluge of sticker apps for Messages has kind of taken over the App Store. Like last week, though, there’s still a strong lineup of new games, just maybe not as many as usual. That’s actually fine, if my backlog is any indication. So check out the full list below and let us know which games you’ll be picking up this week!
