Are almost all mobile games bad? (lemmy.world)

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

If you find a good developer, it's worth checking their catalogue. For example, Butterscotch Shenanigans is one I am a fan of. Another to look at is Noodlecake.

Love noodlecake for the pumped bmx series alone but they make some good stuff besides too. I'll have a look at butterscotch as not heard of them.

Ninja kiwi make very little besides bloons but btd6 is arguably the best value games I've ever played, mobile or not. Cost £6 and I've been playing it daily for 30min or more for over a year, and haven't even come close to exhausting the content. If you like tower defence games then you've almost certainly already played it though. But I'd definitely consider it a very good mobile game (also available on steam/apple now but was android/ios originally so I think we can call it a proper mobile game).
