My version of this is when I assume the game has autosaved because a significant event or cut-scene has occurred, so I quit without manually saving. The warning says “Unsaved progress will be lost (game last saved 44 minutes ago)”, and I’ll only catch a glimpse of the “44 minutes ago” as my finger makes contact with the button to confirm exiting without saving 😬
I have a couple thousand hours of play on Slay the Spire on my iPad. It’s such a perfect game for mobile. I play it on the plane, at night on work trips, been playing it again on vacation this week. Just a fantastic grab-it-and-go gaming experience.
Years ago I put in hundreds of hours in Call of Duty Mobile and got really good at it. I even joined clans and eventually started my own clan.
I really liked it honestly, but I tried it recently and I seriously have no idea how I was so accurate at one point. Honestly it’s not as uncomfortable as it seems once you find a good hand position, but there is definitely a high learning curve
I hardly ever play on my mobile, the market of games I enjoy is saturated with ‘free games’ that you can buy to get rid of the ads. Which however are completely designed around the ads. ‘Watch this ad for 30 more gold’ , or shit like that. In other words completely and utterly pay to win, because instead of ads you can just pay for the gold with ingame currency that is ridiculously overpriced in relation to what the ad money would have been. And in order to compensate: more ads.
Guess what, I lost joy. We live in a capitalist hellscape. Nowhere is that more clear than in Google play store.
They stopped being fun 10-15 years ago. Back then people started figuring out the new touch input for games which lead to many simple, but creative games.
Nowadays, it feels like there exists nothing noteworthy in this space. Most are just boring clones of clones of clones riddled with ads and other garbage. I was unable to find even one game worth installing on my phone the past few years.
I don’t know what I am looking for at this point. I love casual games and play a lot on PC or my Steam Deck and it is so much easier to find something there which isn’t just a cheap money grab.
