Mobile gaming used to be really good in the early 2010s, but nowadays they either fall into one of the following categories:
1) Cheap and trashy games that are littered with ads and poorly optimised. These types of games spread like cancer in the app/play store and are mostly based on arcade concepts of more successful titles (e.g. candy crush, coin pushers, bubble shooters, etc). They are often made by some
unknown developer with the sole intention of making profit. Many of them have fake
5-star reviews.
2) Pay to win games that are set-up to become nearly impossible to beat unless you pay.
3) Games that adhere to some sort of EXP leveling or reward system. Most of the old titles like
fruit ninja have adopted this system, which ruins what used to make these games really fun.
4) Games that claim they will give you money for playing, but are actually a scam.
The days of pure uninterrupted
mobile gaming are now gone. The only good reputable mobile games out there are from indie developers, which are mainly seen on the Google Play Store.
