While iOS devices could theoretically run some of the games on this list, only Android users can play them on their smartphones, tablets, or Android TVs.

This game is a must-play for everyone, and if you haven’t tried it yet, why not grab an Android device and give it a go now? And if you want even more Valve classics, Half-Life 2 (based on Half-Life 2 for PC) and the first and second episodes are also on Android, although Portal 2 has not yet been released on Android.

The challenges are brutal but plentiful and rewarding, so if you can pull this one off, you’ll have truly proven your skills as a gamer.
