Games worth discovering
Able to run it doesn't mean it's PLAYABLE!

Warzone mobile has so many issues since beta and early access. And I wouldn't say they fixed it! It's just... Patched, with duct tape. You'll see what I mean
Immediately the most notorious of all: Graphics. Or more like, the performance issue caused by the graphics. Back then the graphics is so relying on expensive effects of shaders and post processing that the internal resolution got impacted so severely, the game became "blurry". TAA does help making the visual softer and realistic, but the temporal artifact and the blurriness of the game just became lot worse.
So, did they make the game more accessible? Did they finally include a graphic setting this time? The answer is: NO, YES, NO, Kinda YES
1. They added graphics settings with 2 options: Minimal, Low, Medium, High, and Peak. "Bro can't count, he literally just said 5 options"
Yeah. I'm not kidding you. My device (snapdragon 870) can't use minimal graphics. It's just not supported. I can only play at least medium.
"Whoa Whaaat?" Yeah argue what you like, my theory is that this is done so no one can achieve 120fps and have huge advantage over those with lower end devices. Yes you can uncapped the fps, but with High settings? It's basically a scam!
What was the difference between the graphics, you asked? Well Minimum based on my friends phone, is... Uh, PS2. Low is kinda HD mid PUBG but blurry mess. And Mid, is a different story. My friend with SD 845 on mid got blurry graphics, like basically same as beta. While me Mid feels somewhat much sharper than High. Why? Well I think this is because to achieve minimum set fps, they make sure to lower the render resolution as low as it needs. So based on your device the game will appear either very blurry, or just blurry.
2. Insane graphics
I still should give them credits for porting the entire graphics there is on PC to mobile. Everything is here. Soft shadows, motion blur, global Illumination, high res textures, fog, volumetric smoke, grasses, exposure adjustments, bloom, chromatic aberration, SS reflections, dof, and I think I don't need to list all. The point is they are HEAVY and that's a reason we don't find that often in mobile.
3. Either your phone burns, or your battery died quickly. Or both, probably both anyway
I tried to play it at recommend settings alright. 60fps, high. And while my phone can maintain 60fps on most places except the main city, it heats up to 50° before finally settling in being throttled consistently. Yes, My phone is aging, that's true. But try saying that to those who spend $200-300 on Helio G99 and ends up can't even run the game at all.
So what can you do? External cooling? Yeah true they worked well here but I'm not gonna take out a fan and fiddle with it everytime I want to play a "mobile" game! And either way "Battery Saver" mode is here to save you!
Or not..., while it does reduce battery usage by 30% on my testing, and my phone doesn't heat up much (only around 42° and not throttled), the game runs 25fps regardless of your setting. 25FPS on a competitive shooting! Even your mom agrees the game runs like potato.
Gunplay is why I'm so interested on Warzone. I pitch all these to my friends to finally able to play the game with someone (We didn't ended up playing much at all... Because... It just not playable for most). But the gunplay is so good. It's the best gun and sound feeling I've ever had on mobile. Wait, I mean, aside Arena Breakout yeah. But you can't just run around and gun down one-man-army style there. So that's why you gonna try Warzone mobile.
There are many maps in this game as of launch. I think it's 1, battle royale map. The rest is multiplayer oriented gameplay. Which I think is progressing towards porting all gameplay the PC has onto mobile. Thing is, we already have CODM that doesn't cook your hand playing it, with very sharp graphics too. So people enjoy CODM better in terms of multiplayer.
So we care only on battle royale in Warzone here. It's the best battle royale? No. But is it better than CODM battle royale? Definitely yes!
Oh also don't get confused with "mobile" or "PC" skins. They put small sticker on each item for you to know if something is cross-obtained or just for mobile only. Yeah the cross progression is nice. I mean at least they copy your gun attachments and skins and all. Very sick feature without needing to combat against $2000 PC, 1000fps, 2400dpi mouse with 10x bigger screen than ours (I meant cross-play, they don't have it, which is a good thing).
Conclusion:
Unplayable. But if you still want to I guess play it anyway. I mean I'll continue playing it because my laptop can't handle Warzone. My phone is my only hope now.

I played another negatively reviewed paid mobile port...
Yeah, despite how much I want paid mobile game to be a thriving market, I still have to face a fact that no game is perfect. Even after you pay the game while most other choices are simply free to play. SpongeBob: Cosmic Shake is definitely the game that doesn't feel "mobile" at all, means it's PROPER good game, but with one Achilles heel that really broken.
Graphics wise, it's TOP NOTCH for a game on Android. You get everything big boss consoles have, such as Dynamic soft shadows, Ambient Occlusions, Screen-space Reflection, Global Illumination, they are all here! Very rare on mobile but you'll see why in a second.

The game is well optimized for low end devices not only can it play @60fps but os also light weight sparing storage unlike others like cod and warzone mobile

What is up with this game optimization problem with phones with mediatek processor?
I don't know if this is actually an optimization issue or my phone is just bad, while many games like genshin impact, Pubg, and other high end games run really good on mediatek flagship and midrange processors, There are some games which I noticed no matter how good the processor is, The game just won't let you change the graphic settings or even if it does, The game won't run as smooth as it would run on a Snapdragon processor with similar specs.

I actually have a theory on how to do this. but it involving some level of technicality and the phone has to be rooted. The idea is to spoof the device / device component so it's read as something lesser. such as Xiaomi POCO M5 that I know still run but absolute trash, because it only unlocks Min graphics. The spoofing is done and HW app got fooled. But the problem was, since Warzone use anti-root, I have to hide the root from warzone, therefore causing the spoofing to not be applied on Warzone. right now I'm stuck. if I let warzone know I'm rooted the game doesn't run. but if root is hidden from warzone I can't spoof my device (I meant warzone won't be affected by the spoof). so yeah so far I can't get Min on my phone

Dude, I love you make your complaints entertaining and engaging. I dont usually finish articles but your writing is so catchy its like I'm talking to my buddies who runts over something. It makes you listen, compare and then vonvlude. wahahahaha. Great work buddy! anyways. I totally agree on all the points here. my phone is Poco F4 GT 5G gaming phone, even this cant keep up how CoDWM. I tried disabling my Battery Optimizer hoping to mske the game lag free. not working. ( btw 100% - 70% the game is playable with minimum Gpu with max Fps. but still looks bad. ) porting everything there is on their pc version into mobile is like, 11 ft Black Buff Dude dating 4.5 cute little Asian. 😂
