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
Just gotta dig? Dude like 95% of what you just listed are just pc/console game ports to mobile, does that really count as a ‘mobile game’ I’m not too sure, I think theyre still originally regular games that have been slimmed down and ported to phones.
That’s a question of definition. Is OP looking for good gaming experiences on his phone? Then my answer is correct. Is he looking for games that can be played in short bursts while waiting at a bus stop? Then you’re probably right.
I suppose it depends on how you look at the question, when I hear the question “Are all mobile games just garbage” I think it’s asking about mobile games specifically, not mobile ports of regular games to phone operating systems.
Personally, I dont think a game becomes a ‘mobile game’ just because it was ported to a mobile platform, in that case we could start calling literally every game that’s steam deck or switch compatible mobile games since they can be played on the go with a steamdeck or switch, or going further back, a PSP, DS/Gameboy etc.
A mobile game in my view, is a ‘game’ developed solely for the app stores of phones, and when you use that definition, then yes- almost all mobile games are flaming hot garbage that are more likely spyware & skinner boxes with ads meant to siphon money to skip the tedium.
