5 Android Apps You Shouldn't Miss This Week (Part 94)
Monster Hunter Now
Price: Free of charge
The latest game in the Monster Hunter series arrived just over two weeks ago during our short hiatus. This free-to-play game works a little differently than a regular Monster Hunter game, taking inspiration from titles like Pokémon Go. It was actually developed by Niantic (creators of Go) in collaboration with Capcom. The game offers simple controls that allow you to slide, jump, run, slash and more. All this using the index finger. Unlike traditional Monster Hunter games, you only have 75 seconds to defeat each monster you encounter. This approach makes sense as the game is designed to be played in the real world during short breaks. While the combat isn't perfect, it's still a magical game and definitely worth checking out.

Ghost Detective
Price: Free for Netflix users
Ghost Detective puts you in the role of detective Tess Robinson. Your goal? Find out who murdered you, and in the background, New Orleans is full of ghosts. To solve the case, you will have to walk around New Orleans and look for hidden objects. You will be given a list of items to find within a certain time frame. In addition, you will interact with various spirits and living creatures, bringing you one step closer to solving the case. One downside to the game is that you'll need a Netflix subscription to play it, as it's part of the company's push to enter the gaming world and offer unique experiences to its members.

Retro College Bowl
Price: Free of charge
This new version of the popular Retro Bowl game focuses on college sports and allows you to immerse yourself in the role of head coach of one of 250 college teams. The game is quite easy to learn with clear mechanics right from the start, although you will find it difficult to become a true master. The team customization options are also a great feature, although it quickly becomes apparent that the gameplay has become a bit boring. For those who love fantasy sports, this could be the perfect way to spend their free time.
