Given that we are all sitting at home staring at our phones anyway, it's a good time to take a break from the doomscrolling to broaden your phone game palette. Nobody has really bettered this Escher-esque puzzler about guiding a wee girl through levels full of optical illusions and cool perspective changes. The calming colours and minimalist style offset the fiendishness of its architectural conundrums. A beautiful, touching, short game about young love, capturing the initial meet-cute and the inevitable first fight, told through actions, music and relatable illustrations rather than words. Be warned, however: it's so relatable it will almost definitely remind you of your first proper attempt at love and relationships, and you may at one point have to try not to cry.

It's far less common to see video games tackle the other side of war and competition: the human side. Love, for instance, is rarely a central selling point for a video game. Plenty of classic action and adventure games use love as a motivation for the main character -- usually by kidnapping or killing the male protagonist's wife -- but less often do these experiences dive into the dense complexities of relationships and romance. Wong's latest game, Florence, does just that. It landed on iOS devices this week, just in time for Valentine's Day, and it's the first title out of Wong's Melbourne, Australia, studio, Mountains.

Welcome back to Gaming IRL, a monthly segment where several editors talk about what they've been playing in their downtime. Gaming IRL is part of a broader series in which you'll find stories from all of the areas we cover: gadgets we use every day, the apps and services we adore, what we're watching and the music and podcasts we can't live without. Today is all about gaming. E3 is done and dusted for another year, but every year there are dozens of great games released, all of which are available right now. Fittingly, our picks this month range from a 1997 sim all the way up to a game that was released just today.
