Get yourself GeForce now and a Bluetooth controller, you'll never go back to Android games.

I would say that most are subpar. If you are looking for a recommendation then I've been playing Orna (search on the play store) forever now and it's a great time. As hardcore or casual as you like with an overall great community and a developer that is active and engages with us.

I asked, Lemmy answered.

Moonshades on android is a good knock off of heros of might and magic

There's an Android app called "minireview" which has tons of reviews of games on Google Play and helps filter out the garbage.

I have exactly one game on my phone. Bloons Tower Defense 6. Without a doubt a great game!

No, you se-

Almost

Yes.

Yes they are.

Stay away from them on the whole, don't even bother discovering games through lists of mobile titles. Disregard any list that shows games that were not made mobile-first as a counter-example, those miss the point of the question.

If you are into racing games, I can recommend these confidently:

• Rush Rally 3
• GRID Autosport

Both are quite challenging.

I once had an android port of dune 2,I think it was of questionable legality licence wise.

I don't remember if it was in the store or if I loaded it.

I lost it's source but later another version surfaced, but didn't work as well.

I played through all houses twice each on mobile. Was a great time remembering my 1990's gaming.

Yes, I'd say if you cut out the pc/console to mobile ports then 95% of mobile games are hot garbage that aren't even worth the data its saved to, as they are most likely just thinly veiled spyware looking to suck as much of your money up as possible with as little effort as possible.

Like others have said, its like looking for a needle in a haystack of flaming hot garbage.

You can have my Word Cookies when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

The answer to everyone looking for a new game is Super Snail, I believe full release is Aug 4th? Enjoy!

Might not be your cup of tea, but I like Dungeon Village 2.

My controversial opinion is that candy crush is actually brilliant, yeah they want you to buy gold but it's more fun not to. The same goes for a lot of advert funded / in app purchase games - they're fantastic mobile games if you ignore the money option.

Morrowind ports and similar aren't great mobile games, they're great games but candy crush I can pull out my pocket when I'm waiting for a bus and get totally drawn into a few rounds. Airport control is another example, draw lines to direct landing planes and avoid a crash - super simple and repetitive but its complexity grows, cut the rope likewise is a true game in my definition because you learn skills and develop your personal ability beyond just learning game mechanics. They're engaging and enjoyable with a complexity ramp and nice easy to understand ui and graphics - they're everything a mobile game should be.

There are some great horror and story games too, especially the Indy ones

Been playing Oddmar, a fantastic platformer on iOS.
It’s fun to play on the phone, but getting a controller and playing on the iPad is chef’s kiss
