I would say that most are subpar. If you are looking for a recommendation then I've been playing Orna (search on the play store) forever now and it's a great time. As hardcore or casual as you like with an overall great community and a developer that is active and engages with us.
Orna's dev is great! Played that for several months myself. Eventually I burnt out, but it was still a good GPS game. It is however the type of game meant to just be played during your commute or the likes. Basically a Pokemon Go alternative. So it is long and grindy by intent. So it won't satisfy anyone that wants to play a "normal" game where you just play for 10-100 action packed hours and you're done.
But for anyone who enjoyed Pokemon Go, you'll enjoy Orna. It's much more in depth, with traditional RPG classes, equipment to collect, dungeons to find, and raids to do with a guild. The combat is mostly fairly simple, but that's exactly what you need for GPS games, since it's meant to be played on the go. It certainly encouraged me to take more walks and that's the big reason I love GPS games.
The dev is like the anti Niantic. I actually gave him money cause I wanted to. There's no need to pay for anything at all and the game doesn't have nearly as much FOMO as Pokemon Go.
100% agree. I've played it since very early in the game when the devil posted it to reddit. The game can be played 100% for free with no downsides. The monitization is really well done no ads at all, no gems or anything like that everything you buy is priced in real currancy so you know exactly what you are paying and 99% of the stuff you can buy is cosmetic. They only items in the shop are easily found in normal play and most were requested by the community as a way to further support the game. Only FOMO is monthly skins, but those all cycle back around next year in addition to the new monthly skins as well as throughout the year with some limited events.
