The game features multiplayer, so you can bring friends along for the ride in your quest against Shredder. Players being able to play with up to four players allows each player to play as one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This varies the gameplay quite a bit. So, to close, with such a fun gameplay loop, it comes as no surprise this title is one of the best Apple Arcade games to play in July 2023.

It is for these reasons it is one of the best games on Apple Arcade to play in July 2023.

If players are fans of cozy gaming, then this is certainly a title you should have on your radar.

Players will join the main character Tara in their quest, and along the way, possibly learn more about themselves. The world of Fairhaven is one that invites the player in with fully-voice acted characters. This simple fact alone makes it way easier to sink yourself into the world and its lore throughout your playtime. Added to this, the ability to play this on mobile allows players to pick up and play as they please. So, in conclusion, Wylde Flowers is one of the best games Apple Arcade has to offer in July 2023.
