Good mobile games

Xcom 2 is available von android. And there are the infinity engine games as enhanced edition (Baldurs gate, icewind dale, neverwinter nights).

Until recently you could get classic Sega games like phantasy star. But Sega pulled most of them from the store.
 
Unfortunatley there are many factors behind tragic state of android's game market
  • GPlay store has one of the worst search engines ever made depite being owned by google
  • Samrtphone game gold rush ended after 2016, and the market stagnated and collapsed since then
  • Most great titles are being delisted from the store after 2-3 years
  • New android OS has tendency to lose compatibility with apps made on older OS
  • The developers don't have any platform or way to promote themselves, so many great games sit on ~100 downloads
  • Developers struggle to balance game's performance across various different smarthphone hardwares
  • Mass production of gatchas and shovelwere, which eclipses genuine products
  • Google's policy which forces developers to add Google's adds in their products
  • Adroid shitty softwere protection makes most devs release their licensed products only on OS
  • Google is scummy company, that makes sure to regularly ruin their own platform(s) at every chance they get
