I haven’t had a lot of time to do much console gaming lately but I still would love to have a “go to” mobile game that I can whip out and progress a few levels or grind a few items or knock out a battle or match or two.

Interested to know what games have grabbed you and held your attention lately?

None of them. Mobile games seem to be designed specifically to take as much money from people as possible for as little effort as possible. It’s like NFTs if they actually worked.

Bad mobile games that do what you say ruin the reputation of actually good mobile games!

Any recommendations? With how big mobile gaming is, there should be an abundance of good games, but every just feels like the same monetization formula with different skins.

This is true for 98% of them, but there are the rare 2% that are gems, really fun to play, and are sold as full games with no mtx. They're hard to find though. The app store doesn't promote / surface them so you need someplace like /r/iosgaming for instance to dig them up.

This comment is exactly like when people say that X-genre of music is nothing but violence, or Y-race of humans are all rapists.

Saying they don't like the predominant form of mobile game monetisation is exactly like racism! Woof.

Yeah… one thing is to say that you don’t like something, and the other is to make an affirmation, throwing EVERYTHING into the same box because of your ignorance and laziness to actually have hands-on experience with the topic. Woof! 🐶

I think the difference is in the seriousness, mate. Mobile games haven't been cruelly repressed for hundreds of years. This is more like judging all books with a certain style cover the same way.

And who has been cruelly repressed for hundreds of years?

Mobile gaming is such a disappointment to me. There's so much untapped potential with touch screens and gaming. Everything just turned into these formulaic, grind-based games.
