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

It's definitely not you. You're right and most of them are complete garbage. Idk what kind of game you are looking for but Bloons TD6 is great. It does have an up front fee but if you buy it it's actually playable. It does have some microtransactions unfortunately but it's 100% totally playable without spending any money beyond what you paid to buy it. The Stardew Valley mobile port is another great one that does come with an up front fee and no microtransactions. Since the mobile version isn't actually done by concernedape himself though it isn't always up to date with the latest and greatest updates he has added to the game.

Mobile is up to date with the PC version now for Stardew

Woo hoo! I haven't played the mobile version in some time but last time I did it was seriously out of date. Thanks for the update.

It was pretty recently that they updated mobile to include Ginger Island and all that content. The mobile port of Stardew is fantastic all around. Sure you can't use mods (although you can on android if you put in some effort) but it is such a perfect game for touch screens. The only thing that can be a little difficult is the combat but they have an auto combat setting that works pretty well in my experience.
