Honestly this is one of the reasons I just flat out gave up on mobile gaming. Every game I see nowadays is the same mouth-agape icon with screenshots that have nothing to do with the game. The play store I'm guessing is optimizing for in app purcahses rather than finding me games I would play, which is a real shame. I periodically try and take a look there, filtering for only paid games and sorting by rating, but the results are rarely good. Also it seems like the top spots don't change for years.

The other reason is that I'm the type of guy who likes to play strategy or factory games (think Civ, Starcraft, Factorio or Satisfactory) and I just don't think those types of games can ever translate well to mobile.
