Just watched gameplay of unreleased game plants vs zombies 3 . Its so bad, original from 2009 is milion times better.

And same goes for all other games. Why are old games better than new ones, they dont put any efort today to make good quality game.

It looks like they just want to make it quick and cheap. No wonder games are so lov quality..

They're not, you're just looking at ones that are shit. Even Android and iOS have good games, but the app stores on those systems don't promote good games at all. You need an external tool or site like minireview.io to even find something that isn't gatcha-laden excrement.

Pixel Dungeon if you like turn-based dungeon crawler rogue-likes.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon for the same thing but more fleshed out.

For mobile? I don't play a lot on my phone these days, but I remember liking Threes! and the Partia series (looks a lot like Fire Emblem for GBA).

Nice. Does anyone know a good place to pirate Android games?

Honestly, I'm curious to know myself. Last I checked piracy on Android was dodgy as hell, so I just gave up. The options were either downloading unverified APK files from shady sites or installing an equally shady 3rd party app store for pirated apps.

I think I've used apkpure before but I don't get apps often
