Are almost all mobile games bad?

Games@lemmy.world – 304 points – 1 years ago

Saw a game on Google Play that had great reviews (4.6k AVG with 77k reviews) so downloaded it thinking I finally might have found a good mobile game only to find it was trash like almost every mobile game I've ever tried.

Is it me, am I the problem, or are virtually all mobile games terrible?

Edit

Thanks for everyone's feedback and suggestions, I've been trying out some of your recommendations as well as trying out Steam Link to play my steam PC games

There's no good mobile exclusive game, in my experience. There are plenty of great games that are 1:1 ports of their PC or console versions, with buy-once pricing and no microtransactions.

The ones I have installed on Android are: Baba is You, Slay the Spire, Peglin, Downwell, Super Hexagon, SNKRX, and 20 Minutes Til Dawn.

Peggle has eaten every one of my lunch break for the past two weeks.

How is the advert situation?

Part Time UFO used to be Mobile exclusive. Made by the Kirby devs, though they later ported it to Switch.

Seconding Slay the Spire so much. Though I steam remote play it most of the time because it doesn't support cross-saves (from what I've read online, you can do it manually though)
