The list above is from google – https://blog.google/products/google-play/announcing-google-plays-best-2016/.
Let us look at these.
Pokemon Go
Probably the most talked after mobile game during second half of 2016. It is a location-based augmented reality game. This means that the Pokemon characters in the game, are placed at a location on the map which uses your GPS to show where these characters are based and you (or rather your avatar) in the games needs to walk to that location to locate Pokemons. So this seems as if all these are happening in real world. Not available in India right now, but still this game has generated considerable interest in kids.
