Plus 1 to this. A lot of great games have broken through to mobile, and are really affordable. Two specific recommendations:
-
Balatro— if you have any familiarity with poker this will make a ton of sense to you. It’s very popular, easy to pick up, and has a lot of depth.
-
Listen to video game podcasts for recommendations. I love The Besties, but there are a ton. Try the games they recommend. If you like what they say is good, then you’ve found a reliable source of Future recommendations. If not, try another podcast!
I really do recommend the hobby. It’s a lot of fun, there are a bunch of different kinds of games, and the landscape is constantly evolving so there’s always something new (or old—retro games are super fun) to discover. Take your time and try a bunch of different things!
Raises?! Where have y’all been?
