If I remember right, mobile games did tried to somewhat tried make console experience work on mobile phone but of course phones was way underpowered and not to mention that majority of mobile games have touch controls which compare to controller are just really naff. Only few people would maybe get an Bluetooth controller. That's why more simplex game just works better on mobile and then it just riddle with clones and shovelware
I played through the entirety of Prince of Persia: Warrior Within on my phone. That was a feature length PS2 game.
Other feature length games with decent ports I know of:
Adding Stardew Valley to your list - on Android it's even got mod support and the controls aren't awful.
I've also had a lot of fun with rollercoaster tycoon classic but I'd really only recommend that on a tablet.
