We are coming from here.

I’m not gonna lie, guys, neither say the opposite: there are people who play in their phones, I bet you do, so do I. I’m curious to know what do you play in your phones, what kind of “phone gamer” are you. Remember PDAs? The only games that things had were mineswipper, solitaire, chess, sudoku among others. All those are games that perfectly use the touch capabilities of its device, but now, we have more process capacity, and we still have one touch screen (I know, you can touch many points of the screen at the same time). I’ve always seen the screen of my phone as a one big button, so, I can’t play any game that needs more than one touch to be played. I do limit my catalogue of games to those mentioned above, and I really like them. I love sudoku.

What do you play in your phone?

    I’m an old bastard and mostly play patience, sudoku, and cryptic crosswords on my phone. And maybe Bloons TD 6 to get the dailies if I’m away from home without my laptop.

    On console I play mostly single-player RPGs but I also play PUBG. Tried that on mobile (how my kids play it) but fuck that shit!

    Also, what the hell is going on with that cloud? Isn’t it cold? What’s for pudding? Why do policemen look so young these days? Everything was better when I was a youngster!

    Nothing, mobile games are either boring or littered with ads or pay to win

    The screen is also way too small

    A few years ago I played a game called Spelltower, but it stopped working. I also played about 15 minutes of Carmageddon before losing interest one time.

    Haven’t played a game on my phone since, though. I think it’s a frustrating experience trying to play anything on a device like a phone.

    My son and I just started playing COD Mobile again. It’s fun to grind. It’s absolutely a cash grab, but we don’t get involved with that part of it. It’s really the only game that I play these days, as I’m not really a gamer.

    He plays a few other games on his phone and Xbox.

    Right now, not much.

    I used to play Stardew Valley on my phone until I got bored of it. I was fun while it lasted.

    Into The Breach is also good (get a modded apk so you don’t need a subscription)

    Slay the Spire, still have no idea what strategies work.

    That’s pretty much it, everything else is not really fun.

    Unciv is an Honorable mention, but after a few turns and it gets dragged on for over a day, it just gets boring and I have no interest in continuing.

    Stuff made by Yiotro is pretty good
    Also got some jigsaw game but for a high privacy rating there are no premade images so i end up puzzling memes out of my library (for checking app security ratings i suggest using exodus)

    I played Star Wars heroes or how it’s called for some time. Otherwise I’ve played a fair bit of fps stuff on iPods in the past. I don’t know if anyone remembers modern combat 2 and the rainbow six shooter on iOS ~early 2010s. arguably mobile games were in a better state than now. I vividly remember a tintin game which released with the animated movie or the one before, which was really really good not just for a mobile game but in general. All those games eventually got taken from the App Store either because of licensing or a successors release. And zhey got replaced with gacha games one way or another in the long run. Nowadays I merely have some -„no internet pass time“-games like a skater game and stuff don’t really game a lot in general and if I do I play on pc. I looked back into some games but after you discover the game loop it’s just the same. Grind to get you to spend money and I don’t have the patience and I don’t see the fun in it.
