About

Offline Arcade started as a shared notes file between three friends who were tired of downloading a 'single-player' game only to hit a login wall on the subway. We wanted a place that lists games you can trust to run with airplane mode on.

,We play everything before we write about it. No exceptions. If a game claims to be offline but secretly needs a connection to save progress, we say so plainly.,Our picks lean toward depth and replay value. A good puzzle should respect your time, an RPG should have a story worth the battery drain, and a simulator should let you tinker without nagging you.,We're small and independent. Nobody pays us to rank a game higher, and we don't take sponsored placements dressed up as reviews. What you read is what we actually thought after playing.
