Re: Ask HN: How do you find high quality mobile games?
#92The impossibility of finding good mobile games is why I develop desktop and console games. I have no idea how to get discovered in the soup of the mobile app stores and I don't want to build the kind of skinner's box it would take to compete alongside most of those games. There are great mobile games out there, but I have no idea to find them except by accident. It's so bad that something like 0.01% of mobile apps ma…
Do you think that could be addressed by certification or curation? For example, an org that reviews mobile games and gives them a stamp if they’re not exploitative. Maybe somebody will start a “real games” App Store on the other side of all this anti trust stuff.

#95I don't have the answer, but wish I did. I play zero mobile games these days for this specific reason. But here are a couple that I enjoyed in the past.

#97A few games I've played and liked the most are Badland, Machinarium, Rocket League SideSwipe, Call of Duty Mobile, games by Yiotro, games on fdroid store, Shadow Fight 2, Monument Valley, Backfire, Terraria, Leo's Fortune, Bombsquad, Puzzles by Simon Tatham, Shadow of Naught, Vector amd Wormster Dash. Note that these are of vastly different genres so look that up and game on.

#99This is the best place i think https://www.reddit.com/r/iosgaming/
Interesting that no one agrees with me but it really has been the best place i’ve found, as an iPad-first person. The mobile gaming landscape being a complete jungle makes crowdsourcing the best way to surface high quality stuff.
