I got a new semi-flagship phone, recomend me some mobile games ERA

I recently streamed Doom Eternal through Microsoft's cloud service and that was pretty cool. I'm there is some other really good stuff on there if you were interested in cloud gaming.
As for stuff for mobile, Monument Valley is nice, but won't really show off the tech in your phone. People seem to like the Asphalt racing games.

Part Time UFO
It's a crane game (UFO catcher in Japan) style game by HAL Laboratories, makers of Kirby. It's very charming and perfect for short stints.
Battlechasers Nightwar
A turn based RPG, the same game as on consoles and PC. I've not played much, but it looks fully featured and beautiful to boot.

I have a high end phone that's actually about as good as I ever would have expected control wise for touchscreen gaming (Xperia 5 II, the super tall screen means you can use the sides for touch controls and still have a lot of visible display)... but still haven't found a game that didn't piss me off in the first 10 minutes with F2P Gacha elements, aside from extremely simple games that would run on a potato like Monument Valley.
Genshin Impact!
Amazing that a mobile game can run this well and look this good.
It's like Zelda BotW but with more anime and gacha.
It's also free and supports crossplay with pc I think. PS4 not so sure.
Gameplay is quiet fun. I played about 20 hours or so then fell off a bit. Never felt the need to invest cash to enjoy the game.

I will try everything actually, so just shoot away your favorites.
Assuming OP isn't in the USA* because it's still not out here yet.
Call of Duty Mobile is surprisingly good, if that's your kind of thing. The World Ends With You has a decent mobile port on the Play Store, too. Mario Kart is fun, also.
Damn, this looks dope. Not the OP but thanks for the suggestion 💪🏿
Well, in that case I'd recommend:
Star Traders Frontiers
Out There
Void Tyrant
Stardew Valley.
Don't listen to the haters!! Best mobile game and almost the best Mario Kart game.
Combo system is absolutely wild!! I've played this every day since launch in September 2019.
Made by some of the devs that made Journey. It's free and you can play with your friends till the end of the game. There are some side stuff you can do and discover hidden things on your own. You can switch to performance mode to play in 60fps in the settings for a smoother experience as well.
I highly recommend this game if you wanna see some pretty amazing graphics on your phone.
Oh, OP, I completely forgot to mention: Soda Dungeon is super good and super addicting. Very straightforward game with surprising depth. Works almost like an idle/autoclicker game but there's definitely minmaxing involved, too. All in all, it's a super great game.
Muse Dash is a fun rhythm game with an anime aesthetic, if that's something you're into as well.
I know you said no gacha so feel free to ignore this one, but Fire Emblem's mobile game plays like a simplified version of the mainline games.
Oh, and you can't go wrong with Bloons TD.

Wtf? Game runs like garbage even on lowest settings. It also turns your phone into a volcano. The controls are so bad as well with no customization options at all.
What type of device are you playing on?
Galaxy S9 here.
I second this game. It runs incredible as well. The controls take some getting used to tho, but they are simple enough. This game is magical and a great game to play right before bed while you are comfy. :'3
Danmaku Unlimited 3: Fantastic shoot-em-up that is worth trying if you have any interest whatsoever in blowing shit up.
Alto's Adventure + Odyssey: Endless runners where you control a snowboarder. Seems chill at first but some of the missions they give you can be pretty evil.
Punch Quest: Endless runner where you punch things for money and use said money to buy upgrades, hats and beards.
Super Hexagon: I'm not sure if this counts as an endless runner, but it's worth a try either way. Perfect pick-up-and-play game, If people see you play this well they will think you are incredibly sad or some kind of wizard.
Zen Pinball: I'm pretty sure this is the pinball app with the most tables available. IIRC there's an original table that you can play for free and then a ridiculous amount of extra tables available to buy, including ones based off third party IPs like Star Wars, Marvel, Simpsons, Portal and many more.
Seconding what Jaypah said, this looks cool and I'm downloading it now. Thanks for the suggestion!

This does look awesome, didn't realize it was a thing. Installed.
Runs like butter for me, even in 60FPS mode. Sony Xperia 5 II. I just don't like gacha games.
Ok.... Anyone here who has a phone that didnt come out like yesterday try this game on mobile?
lmfaoooo
Dang yall make me feel poor. Them phones just dropped like hours ago XD. Is the S9 just garbo now? I remember when I was at the top with my galaxy... That lasted like... 4 days.
I played it on a pixel2xl before and it was a bit jaggy but it was still very much playable
Ran fine on my Pixel 3a, the S9 runs hot at the drop of a hat though
Nice, enjoy! I don't really play stuff on mobile for long, but this one I come back to daily, even if I unlocked everything already. Can't wait for the dev's next game, I talked with him a bit on twitter and he's a chill guy!
AHHHHH
pain from here in America. i am playing on the EUW server until we get our client in a couple months and even with a little latency the game is incredible

Jetpack Joyride. It's an oldie, but worth it if you haven't played it yet. Just grabs you 'til the end.
Sorcery, if you like text-based RPG. It's divided in 3 parts and has an excellent branching narrative, with plenty of possibilities and replayability.
The Kingdom Rush series contains some gems in the tower defense genre.
Right now I'm playing Chuchel, by Amanita Design. One of my fav devs out there, their point and click output is really solid and translates very well to mobile (it's best with bigger screens).
And keep an eye out for Slay the Spire, one of the best games ever, which should release this year on android devices.

I'd love to know your settings, because my nearly brand new Pixel 5 can barely run the game at a decent framerate with all the settings on low. Which kind of surprised me when I finally installed it.
Mario Kart is actually pretty great, especially now that you can play in horizontal mode. I haven't spent a cent and I have plenty of characters. Also:
- Horizon Chase
- Tower Fortress
- Battle of Polytopia
- Kingdom Rush series
- Asphalt 8 or 9
- Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap
- Sky Force R.
- Oddmar
- Reckless Racing series
- Dead Cells
- Castlevania SotN
- Rush Rally 3
- Swordigo
- GRID Autosport
- XCOM Enemy Within
- Falling Lightblocks
- Shadowgun Legends
- Pascal's Wager
- Teslagrad
- Sonic Runners Adventure

Does the game play well with touch controls? it's a concern for me.

Oooohhh i almost buy it in the steam winter sale, good to know it's coming to mobile, I can see myself playing it in short bursts.
Haven't tried it myself but FWIW when I asked Reddit the same question a few years ago most commenters said it works fine on a phone.
The thing to watch out for is that there's a version for phones and a version for tablets, and as far as I know you have to pay for each one individually.
