There are some decent to good video games available on Android & iPhone, of a wide variety of genres.

If you have the self discipline to not let gaming take over all your spare time (whistles innocently while totally not looking in mirror), it’s absolutely worth getting into.

Where to start? I recommend keeping it simple. If you don’t already own a desktop or laptop computer at home, it’s probably easiest to stick with games on your phone.

• ask friends & family what games they play, particularly those who fall on the same side of the Apple/Google divide as you.
• open your app store and look at lists of popular games by genre. Pick a free one, download it, and try it out. If you don’t like it, delete it and try another one.
• if there’s a news or culture site whose judgement you trust & like to follow, even if it’s not a technology or gaming related site, it’s worth spending a couple minutes to see if they have review articles or recommendation lists available. You can even find a related Lemmy community and ask there.

Personally, I play the following:

• an older logic puzzle game
• a free klondike solitaire game
• Egg, Inc - this is an idle incremental game available on both iOS & Android
• Leaf Blower Revolution - just started this one. It’s in the idle incremental genre as well. Available on iOS, Android, and through Steam. Supports cross platform play by way of cloud saves. I picked it up a week ago and it has been fun so far.

I don’t have the reflexes for active combat games. I like RPGs but prefer to play those on desktop.

Makes me think of the “My name’s Buck and I’m here to fuck” scene in Kill Bill.

I loved my parents, but once I was on my own I was happy to live a few hours drive away.

Would be interesting to see the methodology on this, or to see how much it has changed since this was published, or to see it broken down at a county level.
