TouchArcade Rating:
Apple's latest Apple Arcade update includes a new game, a promoted App Store Great title elevated to an Apple Arcade Original, and several significant game updates. Initially reported as an update, NFL Retro Bowl 25 is now available as a standalone release, allowing players to build their own NFL dynasty using officially licensed teams, players, retro art, and statistics. The online response to this announcement was surprisingly enthusiastic, exceeding expectations. Let's hope the final product lives up to the hype.
Also launching on Apple Arcade today is the App Store Great title, Monster Train+, which includes the "Last Divinity" DLC from the start.
