In the last 5-7 years I've noticed that mobile games have devolved info always online p2w shit

What the fuck happened?

The only good games on phone are now emulators and a few Foss games

There was someone in reddit awhile back that started a community review site because there were so many bad games to sort through. I've found some good ones through there

Best mobile games are Nintendo DS games that are completely touch based, which end up feeling like native experiences such as Kirby Mass Attack.

At least in Android you can install old games yet, I just installed Nimble Quest and had a blast as of recently.

Not gonna lie I'm still hitting clash of clans... Paid for maybe 5 months of gold pass but no longer been playing since I was in middle school. Took like 6 years off though

The only good new mobile games are on Apple Arcade, which is behind a paywall. It sucks but what can ya do.

Have they ever been good? The sad thing I can tell you as a mobile dev(not game though) is that people on Android don’t want to pay for apps or games, on iOS it’s a bit better but still way worse than PC or PlayStation. There’s also rampant piracy on Android, both from users but even more so from shady app clones Google ignores. As a result free to play, always online with microtransactions is basically the only way to make money

The good ones are mostly pc ports (dead cells, stardew vally)
