Here is the description of some of the games with some papers as well. Hope it helps =)
1. ACE: An engaging, interactive mobile cognitive assessment tool that evaluates multiple dimensions of cognitive control quickly and without ceiling or floor effects. The tasks in ACE are standard tests that assess different aspects of cognitive control (attention, working memory, and goal management), modified by incorporating adaptive algorithms, immersive graphics, video tutorials, motivating feedback, and a user-friendly interface. Video.
Scientific papers:
Video games, cognitive exercises, and the enhancement of cognitive
abilities, Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences
The Influence of Perceptual Training on Working Memory in Older Adults
2. Rhythmicity: tablet-based game designed to assess sensorimotor synchronization ability with auditory, visual, and/or tactile stimuli. Rhythmicity demonstrates high test-retest reliability and has been used by people across the lifespan from ages 8 to 80. Video.
Scientific papers:
Temporal attention is not affected by working memory load
Multimodal Sensory Integration: Diminishing Returns in Rhythmic Synchronization
3. Meditrain: integrates the principles of concentrative meditation with the video game mechanics of adaptivity and feedback to create a powerful cognitive training game. Tablet-based, meditation-inspired, cognitive training game aimed at improving self-regulation of internal attention and distractions.
Scientific papers:

4. Labyrinth: A unique virtual reality gaming platform (there is
also a tablet version) designed to improve spatial wayfinding and broader
cognitive capabilities. This sort of environmental enrichment vitalizes
brain networks that enable learning, which more broadly enhance capabilities in
higher cognition. Aimed at detecting early signals of Alzheimer's and
dementia.
Scientific paper:
Virtual reality video game improves high-fidelity memory in older adults
5. Apprise: Application for Readiness in Schools and Learning Evaluation. Fun, universal screener that assesses school readiness and dyslexia risk in young learners of ages 4-8 in the form of a gamified open-source mobile app. Measures a range of literacy and cognitive skills.
