Paper.io 2 review

Paper.io 2 is one of the most played .io games, but it now lives mainly on phones. Voodoo's App Store listing calls it the world's most satisfying .io game: move around the arena, draw a trail to grow your territory and claim the zone before someone cuts you off. The listing promises online multiplayer you can join in seconds, more than 100 skins, free daily rewards and quick matches, plus a secret surprise if you capture the whole map. The game is free; on the US App Store, gem packs start at $0.99 and No Ads costs $9.99, and the listing notes loot boxes. It rates 4.6 from 3M ratings. Paper.io 2 sits near the bottom of this list for one reason that matters to the angle: Voodoo's official Paper.io 2 page links to the app stores rather than a browser version, so it is not a no-install pick. If you are happy to install a small game on your phone, it is a polished choice. We compared documented features and published prices.
