I haven't found (m)any appealing mobile games yet. Pokémon Go is OK when you're on the go anyway (although it's really poor as a game, but it has its charm), but other than that, I don't generally like mobile games. Free-to-play games should be obvious, some more interesting ones are too similar to PC/console games (and I prefer playing them on PC/consoles), some don't work too well on a small screen with touch controls, and usually the ones that work well on phones are puzzle games or something else that doesn't interest me.
I'd like to see a game that's actually good on a phone, but I haven't run into one just yet. One obvious problem is that finding good Android games is really hard because of the way Google Play works and how full it's of uninteresting (mostly free-to-play) games.
Another problem is that some of the genres that touch controls are a bit difficult to make work for games. Often, the genres they work well for don't work well on small screens. Strategy games are one example. Touch controls are probably great for them, but playing them on a small screen is a pain. They're probably OK on tablet, but I don't have one and I'm not getting one just to play maybe a few games (and I don't have any other use for a tablet).
