Back when PUBG first came out, I did not have a powerful PC yet. However, I could enjoy the mobile version of the game and, by the time I built my first PC, I had gained extensive knowledge that equated to a good head start. At its height, PUBG mobile was awesome. Moreover, when with friends, we could all just decide to play it together on our phones, to matter where we were.

Dicey Dungeons is an example of a game that I think is actually BETTER on mobile (cheaper too). Awesome game, and the touch controls really streamline it.

Slice & Dice is another game that tge mobile version is better than desktop

I like Genshin Impact tho 😭

I find Honkai: Star Rail even more suited to mobile (It’s mostly not reaction time based) but still play Genshin also. Not as much as I did, but still too much.
popekingjoe@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Star Rail is a damn solid turn-based RPG and is kinda perfect on mobile.

You know what? If you enjoy the game, then there’s nothing wrong with continuing to play it, as long as you aren’t spending money on it.
Ibaudia@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Flow Free is easily the best mobile game of all time, maybe the best video game of all time /hj
Agent641@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Uhh, never heard of that game, but Im here for my handjob?
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
Second!
Persen@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Hey, I like that game.
Ibaudia@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Nothing I’m just being hyperbolic for comedic effect
Here is an article if you need more information on the topic:

I still remember stuff like dead space mobile, those where true, actual games that showed you the potential phones COULD have
now the gaming industry (conventions and everything else to), is now utterly dominated and muddled by the likes of candy crush and genshin impact, its actually sad

How is a giant open world with a cool campaign not impressive for a phone game? Just play it like a regular game instead of doing endgame content, the story’s combat is easy to not force anyone to pull.

Rollercoaster tycoon classic RCT 1+2 in one Touch interface + port by original rct1+2 dev 100 or so scenarios No added mxt or pay to skip anything, gameplay is exactly like PC release Original soundtrack
kewko@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
This highlights the problem more than anything
daellat@lemmy.world 3 months ago
True but it’s just a recommendation
jrgd@lemm.ee 3 months ago
I think beside the facts that RCT Classic is only worth getting on mobile because there are better options on PC doesn’t help make the case that RCT Classic should be a shining example of ‘mobile gaming’. RCT Classic is a bare minimum for an acceptable rerelease of older games.
daellat@lemmy.world 3 months ago
True its not exactly the point I was trying to make just like the one game on mobile that I recommend paying for 😂

I think netflix has some half decent games these days, like Storyteller, Gamedev Tycoon and Terra Nil
Linktank@lemmy.today 3 months ago
The best mobile games are ports like Terraria and Slay the Spire, or old fashioned emulated games, but you need a controller to make it feel okay.
SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 3 months ago
Yep. I have AAA games on my phone I’ll never touch because playing Pokemon moon doesn’t feel right on a slab of glass. Can’t get into it.
zakobjoa@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I replayed Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2 on mobile. It’s a surprisingly good port.
PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 3 months ago
Same with Knights of the Old Republic. But that’s just it: every decent mobile game is a port.
Pacattack57@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Wait where did you download kotor for mobile?

If you have android you can run some pc games on it but not everything runs
kuneho@lemmy.world 3 months ago
You can play Half-Life 2 on it, that’s something
Persen@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Some indie mobile games are great (Nameless cat, Zombie catchers (before being aquired by DECA), Simon Tatham’s puzzles, foss fdroid games (Simple Solitare), Cookie clicker, etc.
Wilzax@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Professor Layton is on iOS does that count
tatterdemalion@programming.dev 3 months ago
Layton is baby puzzles. Or at least it made me feel that way after two levels.
Wilzax@lemmy.world 3 months ago
It requires you to read for 99% of puzzles so they can’t be for the illiterate larval humans
MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
I can’t believe nobody mentioned Vampire Survivors yet? I know it’s a port, but it’s amazing on mobile.

Rocket League side swipes is undisputed best mobile game on the shitter

2009scape (free and open source recreation of Runescape circa 2009) is also on Android via an unofficial port
But as others have said, the best phone games were developed for other platforms
