Well, I guess it's time for my biannual reinstallation of true skate!
Mobile games get a lot of shit for some very valid reasons, but so many have written them off entirely because of the microtransactions and/or touchscreen controls when there are some very good games that don't suffer from either of these issues.
You're absolutely right though, it allows for things like true skate to exist which is brilliant. And if you can be bothered to hunt out the good paid games you can avoid microtransactions entirely. Bloons Td6 is arguably the best value game I've ever paid for given the hours I've sunk into it over a year or so. Cost me ยฃ6 once and has never asked for another penny.
Also the room series is fantastic, as is monument valley. The good ones are out there, but people will download a few free games, get bombarded by ads and microtransaction "deals" and write off the whole genre.
If you like the Room series, have you tried the Forever Lost trilogy or anything by Fire Mapel Games?
Some of the greatest puzzel games I have played.
I haven't but I'll give them a go, thanks!
I also enjoyed the rusty lake series if you like point and click mystery puzzle games.
I will look that up, never heard of it. Thank you too.
