Are almost all mobile games bad? (lemmy.world)

Saw a game on Google Play that had great reviews (4.6k AVG with 77k reviews) so downloaded it thinking I finally might have found a good mobile game only to find it was trash like almost every mobile game I've ever tried.

Is it me, am I the problem, or are virtually all mobile games terrible?

Edit

Thanks for everyone's feedback and suggestions, I've been trying out some of your recommendations as well as trying out Steam Link to play my steam PC games

Wait what? I understand the addictiveness and I spent probably a year of my life making eggs, but egg inc is just an above average idle game. It's problematic by it's very definition.

Right but the quality of the game is actually great in comparison to most of the advert-spamming half-baked garbage out there.

The game concept is middling though, I agree.

Yeah I agree it's better than most idlers out there it's true. Having said that, herpes is better than most STIs out there too, I definitely wasted a fair bit of time on idlers but every one eventually feels like a chore where you only keep playing because of the sunk cost fallacy.

Just my opinion obviously, and wtf do I know to be fair, we all enjoy different things at the end of the day I just wouldn't ever recommend a idler personally.
