When I got my first smartphone in August, I was completely overwhelmed by the endless amount of games that the Play Store had to offer. However, I soon discovered that the vast majority of these games suck even more than Vroom in the Night Sky.

Candy Crush was a fun game that I played for a while, but it quickly became very difficult, and the game was asking me every two minutes if I didn't want to do some nice sweet microtransactions. After that I started playing good ol' Tetris, which (despite being owned by EA) was a fun and microtransaction-free game. But Tetris is of course very simplistic, so after a while it started to get boring too.

So now I'm looking for some other fun mobile games to play, since some of my classes can get really boring. I can't find anything good in the Play Store, though. So does anyone here have some recommendations for me?

The Square Enix go games (tomb raider go, deus ex go, hitman go) are all quality mobile games.

I recommend Fate/Grand Order

if you like jrpg's, you must try chaos rings 3, really a great game

Fire Emblem Heroes. That game is pretty fun... :)

Did anybody know that HAL Laboratory made a freaking Mobile game!? It's cute as all hell. Quite fun and different too. (and sometimes borderline suggestive at times) It's called Part Time UFO, and it's 4 bucks. It has a ton of personality. I highly recommend it.

Geometry Dash. You can try the free version, and if you like it, buy the full game for 2$. Totally worth it.

I don't bother with most of it. I just have a couple of card games I use when I'm in a waiting room or in long car rides with someone else driving.

There's a ton of good F2P games. If you're into Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy, then I'd happily suggest Fire Emblem Heroes and Dissdia: Opera Omnia. They're both very free player friendly whereas something like Fate/Grand Order is just awful to free players.

Pokemon go is a great mobile game. Comparing mobile games to what you're probably used to isn't going to end well. There are exceptions but generally, they're pretty simplistic by comparison.
