I'm getting tired of the endless lists of the best mobile games that are just clones of each other or packed with aggressive microtransactions. I'm looking for games with genuinely innovative touch controls or unique uses of the phone's hardware, like gyroscope or AR, that you can't replicate on a console. Any hidden gems that actually feel native to the platform?
