Are there actually any good mobile games?

didn't realize peglin is on mobile! cool!
It's the only version I've played and it's a great time sink.

Fully ported, mod & module compatible! There is potentially infinite playtime in Neverwinter nights cause of it.
Dayum. Sold.

Not all of them are enjoyable when played on a small touchscreen, so the question is still relevant: which ones actually work well for the form factor?
wrote last edited by [email protected]Fair enough, hence why I mentioned the BT controller but OK so might want something more compact, say if you are walking around or in the subway for 1 stop.
That's not my situation so naively I'd suggest stuff like https://hexgl.bkcore.com/ or (and sadly I can't put my hand on it right now) those who rely on accelerometer, this way you don't even tap on your screen.
That being said I think there are also now Web based emulators that do have controller overlay. This way you use your entire screen real estate but also use the device it as a controller. There is no haptic feedback but works relatively well, I used that for WebXR on mobile.
Edit: it wasn't any of these but still gives the idea https://forums.libretro.com/t/rgpad-a-universal-gamepad-overlay/41134 https://github.com/ShawnHymel/phaser-plugin-virtual-gamepad/

Mobile games usually get a bad rep as they're usually asset flips and/or MTX-ridden and/or ad-filled, etc., and I'm sure this is actually the case for most games on the app/play store. But are there any ones that are actually good, maybe just something to pass the time with?
no, just get a steam deck

Stardew Valley, which is an amazing harvest moon like game, and subnautica if your device is compatible.
Another good option is to download winlator from the internet and use it to play older Windows games. I play FTL on it. You could also play stuff like Civ probably. I think civ 5 has a touchscreen mode.

What did you decide? Watching videos of people playing (for the first time) would give you an idea of value for yourself.
There is no way i would pay that amount, am not even into card games.. And also salery in my country is like 10 times less than in US so dont even judge me..

I really like Robotek by Hexage. It's free and you can play offline.

In my experience the play store is awful to use if you're looking for anything that's not full of ads and/or extremely monetized. I recommend only using it when you know exactly which app you're looking for.
Generally I find games through itch.io and recommendations from others. Also there are foss game emulators on GitHub and similar sites.
Netflix recently started offering mobile games as well.
Ages ago humble bundle did android games but that's all in the past now.
I've been enjoying worldbox and lichess. I used to have a bunch more but the latest Android version made most of my collection stop working.

There were, back in the day.
Tap tap revenge and Paper toss were great.
Now everything is just shit for morons.

Antiyoy is a clone of the 2000s game "Slay", which is on Steam with updated graphics, to my surprise.
Thanks a lot, learned something new today! Though the guy keeps pumping out great other games which seems original, so I maintain my suggestion.

Balatro. Be warned though, it’s digital crack. One time payment though, no mtx
You bastard. I know you warned us, but all the same...
