Just opened this thread to discuss games for the Xperia Z5, including recommendations and any issues you have encountered.
For the most part, games run very smoothly on the Z5, but once the phone gets warm (around 42) it will start to throttle with some more intensive games and the frame rate drops to around 20-30fps.
Another problem I have had is relatively common with Adreno devices. Games like Real Racing 3 and Need For Speed: No Limits fail to render in 1080p and also lag. This was the case for my HTC Butterfly s (Snapdragon 600 w/ Adreno 320) and users of other devices such as Nexus 7 2013 have also complained to the developer about it but they kept saying they couldn't fix it (despite there being a mod before that involved locking the rotation of the device). Asphalt 8 looks fine but either has poor antialiasing or is only rendered at 720p.
Some games I play:
Horizon Chase - Retro-style racing game like Top Gear (has a really nice soundtrack by Barry Leitch). Sounds really nice with the front-facing speakers. Runs at 60ps on Z5 but goes down to ~25-30fps in later levels or when the phone gets warm
Hungry Shark Evolution - Also suffers from a frame drop when the phone is warm, after about 5-10 minutes of gameplay.
Smash Hit - This one really puts the stereo speakers to use as you can hear where the glass is smashing
PBA Bowling Challenge - Fairly simple but addicting bowling game. Runs very smoothly and doesn't use a lot of battery life
Alto's Adventure - A one-touch endless runner snowboarding game. Very minimalistic with immersive audio.
I'm trying to look in particular for games that have good graphics and audio, such that they can take advantage of the stereo speakers.
What games do you play?
