VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "The stealth genre is one that some would argue doesn’t even exist – many titles include stealth elements, but actually fit into one of a number of other genres like action, platformer, or third-person shooter. Ever since the breakout success of the Metal Gear franchise (in particular Metal Gear Solid), though, the genre seems on much more stable footing and it demonstrated that you can have a veritable blockbuster on your hands relying only on stealth mechanics as the main gameplay element.
In recent years we’ve seen other things like Assassin’s Creed, Hitman and Splinter Cell continue to push the genre forward, although it still has somewhat limited appeal. Thankfully, the Vita has a healthy selection of stealth games available (and even more with backwards-compatibility), meaning if you’re looking to do some sneaking on the go then you’ll be well served with the console."
For a while, there was a sizable difference between the quality of games on mobile devices and the quality of games on consoles or PC. As technology has progressed and the audience has expanded, the games available on mobile devices have changed and cell phones have become a viable option for gamers. This is partly because major publishers saw an opportunity and decided to squeeze their gigantic franchises into the portable market.
I feel as though mobile games will always suck because of lack of built in controller... I don’t care for iPhone Xs being more powerful than Switch, better graphics are worthless without a proper controller. (never mind the scarcity of quality games that aren’t cheap micro transactions filled crap games)
Not always... And often if the game is built around mobile it would be very interesting even with a controller. I play Minecraft with my 360 via usb adapter and it works pretty well but then you have to support the phone somehow... And if you need to take a controller and screen holder along might as well get a switch where your odds of getting full games with microtransaction gimmicks are way better.
Their renown in the gaming industry. When it comes to mobile, it's all an advertisement game.
I like puzzle games and they're not bad puzzle games. Pretty much it for me.
The GO games they are making are well suited for touch controls, are based on established franchises, are original games as opposed to being a poor adaptation of an existing title and can be quite fun to play. They are also priced fairly, unlike other games (including many by SE).
Once more developers start to develop their mobile games with the touchscreen in mind rather than developing the game first and putting an on-screen gamepad overlay afterwards, we'll start seeing better mobile games.
They are cheaply priced, are fun to have if you want something you can just pick up and play, and there's really no story or anything so you don't have to feel too invested in it. Perfect to play on the GO.
Because they're good?
