Seems like a regression. Just make peace with the fact that any phone-based games are generally going to be awful. Do some exceptions exist? Sure, but there’s no point in looking for them. Just play games on a real computer or a game console. Emulating on a phone is probably the only potential solution which makes sense.
Fortunately there's no need to look for them, this list solves that. Lots of people would like to casually game on their phone without running the gauntlet of the app stores.
