Your experience with Windows store mobile games

[kasdashd]

I've tried a number of mobile games on PC downloaded from the windows store, and many of them are so terrible.

 

Many of them are running at a max of 60fps, some can't even reach that, the frametimes are terrible, and cpu single core utilization is very high.

 

Games like Extreme landings pro and beach buggy racing are really good, but farming games, bloons games, and candy crush games aren't.

 

What mobile games from the Windows store have you found work the best, from a technical POV, and which are the worst?

Not relevant to my question, but maybe cause your PC might be faster, it has a bigger screen, better speakers, you can run the game beyond 60fps, if the games were made corretly for PC with uncapped fps support, you can play at 4K or even 8K resolutoin, if you connect it to your 8K TV, and I could go on. But if the games are available on PC, lots of people will play them, which is why they should work perfectly, even if most people won't notice all the issues I've noticed.

Have you tried running the msi afterburner performance overlay while running the bloons games on PC? I have, and only BTD6 works optimally, the other games are limited to 60fps, regardless if it's the steam or windows store version, and that's not good enough on PC.

I know they are locked to 60fps, but I want to have the option to play them at uncapped fps, 1000's if possible, cause that's how modern native PC games are designed, and I want that freedom on PC, compared to the limited and locked mobile and console 30, 60, or 120fps experience.
