Top 60 Games Trends in September

From Fortune-Telling Slot Games to Hand-Drawn Puzzle Games

— October 1, 2023 — Tech
This list of trends for gaming in September 2023 was carefully curated to showcase the pinnacle of interactive entertainment. Notably, this list covers the rising popularity of mobile gaming accessories, recent innovations in casino/slot games, and remastered game titles.

One example comes from My.Games, which, in collaboration with the Pixonic team, has introduced the highly anticipated title, 'Little Big Robots.' Whether playing solo, forming a duo, or participating in 4v4 engagements, 'Little Big Robots' is an exciting novelty for the War Robots franchise.

Another example is 'Shaker Club,' a casino game set across a 3x5 grid with 243 pay lines and a shaker positioned to the left of the grid. In this exhilarating game, the shaker is capable of bestowing substantial multipliers with each spin, allowing players to maximize their earnings.
