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

Commenting in here so I can try out some of the games listed because I have found very, very few games that weren't totally trash - either shit quality or an endless begging for money.

The very few that I do enjoy are Word Feud, The Kingdom Rush series, Flow Free, Block Puzzle and only a few other ones.

Wordfeud is awesome! I had to uninstall it for a while because of the addiction, but I'll be back...

It legit is a great game - had it faithfully installed for years and had many games going on at once and then one day I just had to uninstall it. I hit the limit of the number of times I had to come up with words like Qi or Ki and then on the flip side having opponents that would endlessly cheat.

oh my gosh.... your comment totally confused me until I looked up Wordfeud. I was thinking of Wordhero! Have you tried that one? Think of it as MMO Boggle. 🙃 Wordfeud is great too though--I definitely played that too, just mixed up the two in my head.

Wordhero

Never heard of that one. If I want to get back into scrabble/boggle-like games I might give it a shot. I've been on a tower attack (whatever the Kingdom Rush type of games are called) kick for a while now but then I'll get sick of those and then want to swtich to something else again.

I enjoy these games on iOS:

-Hearthstone (play it daily)

-Rodent Rush (puzzle game like chips challenge)

-Papers Please (difficult to explain, just have to try it)

-RCT Classic (need I say more)

-Old School RuneScape (easy to level up while in a waiting room or plane)

-Ghost Trick (timetravel puzzle game where you’re dead)
