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?

    Yes, several:

    Ports of PC games:

    80 Days
    Gris
    Myst (2021 release)
    Gone Home
    Papers, Please

    Then you have pure phone games

    Mini Metro
    Reigns
    Freeways

    Then you have old web browser games ported to the phone:

    Plauge Inc.
    Infectenator

    There are plenty more, these are just a few that I have on my phone

      I didn’t realize there was a Gone Home port on mobile! I’m gonna check that out, thanks!

      I just want to add that there are a bunch of great PC ports:

      Alien: Isolation
      (Alien: Blackout might not be available anymore)
      What Remains of Edith Finch
      Life is Strange
      Night in the Woods
      GTA III Trilogy
      Journey

      Edit: formatting and added Journey
