Standoff 2 if you want a cs go kind of game. Card thief. Evil apples. Stardew valley*. Rocket league sideswipe. Lapse (either one). Stick fight. Minecraft. Cube escape (all the games). Night of the full moon. Those are just a few that I know of. * Means I haven't personally played them

      Digdigfig, 30 Aug 20231. You can't have a free game with no micro transactio... morePaid games were a failed model on mobile. That's why we can't even have last gen experiences on mobile.

        2. By gatcha I'll assume you mean receiving items/characters that highly influence the game (genshin is part of that category, but call of duty is not because you only get cosmetics out of lootboxes which doesn't influence gameplay and don't represent an advantage)

        3. Do you consider a game like csgo to be repetitive? Same maps, same weapons and yet each game is different. Rogue like games' entire thing is going through the same thing again and again and progressing little by little each time.

        I've made a list with some of the games I know but I want to know exactly what you want to hear

          No MTX
          No Gacha
          No retarded energy system
          Respectable graphics that isn't like the crap on the front page of Google play. Even 720p is fine
          A game that respects people's time-Zero repetition/forcing you to login every day
          Zero IAPS of any form
          Original mechanics that isn't borrowed or stolen/used to death
          Is this so hard to ask out of a mobile game?
          Too bad nothing or very few games on Google play fulfills that

Don't act like most pc games have controller support because they honestly don't.

You can price this handheld at 100 dollars and the only use for it would be emulation best case scenario. Mobile games aren't even designed with controllers in mind lmao. This is a DOA product.

We have been waiting for 10+ years and there hasn't been a quality mobile game. Nobody will develop for such a lousy platform even if you have the power of 4 RTX 4090Tis. Unreal engine is nonexistant on mobile and you only have a bunch of crappy unity P2W trash. Go buy a steam deck instead

Your argument is that mobile games aren't as good and therefore they shouldn't make better chips. How do you expect good games to come out if no one has the hardware required to play it? Use your brain

                      Hideo, 29 Aug 2023You probably never played a proper AAA game lmao. Every sin... moreWow...who would have known that games who need to be played on hardware with barely any cooling will not be as good as games played on hardware with multiple fans and even water cooling 🤯🤯🤯 incredible. Qualcomm should quit making chips immediately right? What's the point of having powerful chips in mobile devices?

Every single F2P mobile game is motivated by microtransactions at the end of the day. Shill all you want,but mobile games will forever be inferior.

Cod can easily be played without paying any money. There aren't any weapons you can only get by paying. You only pay for cosmetics which don't give any significant advantage. Yes genshin is gacha, but if you can't progress without spending money that is honestly a skill issue. It has an enormous map and good graphics and is one of the few truly open map games and one of the fewer good open map games. R6 and warzone will almost definitely be resource intensive so better chips are welcome. These games (especially genshin and warzone) push even the latest chips to their limit so I don't understand why you are bitching about qualcomm releasing powerful chips

                                      Emulation is honestly lousy(see aethersx2 drama),except for switch(which has yuzu on their side).
                                      And no,those 5 lousy indie games don't count as a complete library. There are no AAA or even AA games on mobile for the record.

                                        I'm glad GSMArena chooses to publish about newest gaming handhelds. 5G and the korean 6G models will be welcomed here.

                                        I just don't understand how to make normal voice call or stereo face call on a gaming handheld yet from reading the newest info here.

                                        Thank s again.
