Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mind Games at none against Peak's 10. Mind Games also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 63%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Peak's advantage is ratings volume (146K vs 12K) and chart position (#185 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Peak against 4.6 for Mind Games. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Peak has 146K ratings behind it against 12K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 63% of Peak's written reviews are positive against 84% of Mind Games's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Peak ships an update fortnightly, Mind Games every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
