Are almost all mobile games bad? (self.games)

Saw a game on Google Play that had great reviews (4.6k AVG with 77k reviews) so downloaded it thinking I finally might have found a good mobile game only to find it was trash like almost every mobile game I've ever tried.

Is it me, am I the problem, or are virtually all mobile games terrible?

Edit

Thanks for everyone's feedback and suggestions, I've been trying out some of your recommendations as well as trying out Steam Link to play my steam PC games

Nope, you just have to dig...

  • Minecraft
  • Ocean Horn
  • Terraria
  • Don't Starve
  • Neon Chrome
  • Stardew Valley
  • GTA III
  • GTA Vice City
  • GTA: San Andreas
  • GTA: Chinatown Wars
  • Bully
  • Max Payne
  • Star Wars KOTOR
  • Limbo
  • Roller Coaster Tycoon
  • OpenTTD (Transport Tycoon)
  • Portal

With some fiddling you can even run some PC games like Half Life 1 and 2, Doom 3 and Morrowind (not even emulated, their engines were actually ported to Android).

If you add emulation to the mix you can play everything up to the Wii if you have a half decent phone, which means an endless ocean of good games.
