It can be pretty difficult to bond with new cats, they just seem to hide away and be evasive most times.

What strategies have helped you?
 
I found out that getting them new toys always helps. I also try as much as possible to pet them and give them treats whenever they let me do so.

Yes there is nothing that substitutes spending time playing with them. Most people exchange this with gifts and food, which is a terrible idea.
 
Create time for your cats and play with them as often as possible. There's no way they won't bond with you very fast. Also, if you start playing with them often, don't withdraw quickly as it's going to affect them psychologically.
 
Spend time with them and play with them. Cats love cuddling too, have them in your space, on your bed and see them get closer to you.
 
I usually sit quietly near them and let them observe me first. Gentle play and a few treats help them feel safe and start trusting me naturally.
 
It's simply easy, spend more time with the new cat while taking care of it. It's not going to take long and you're both going to bond quickly.

Spending time with them and staying close to them work wonders. Some bond easily while others take time, just treat them accordingly.
