Not at all. There are some good mobile options. POWDER is fantastic, but there are even options for playing Nethack and other more normal ones mobile now too. I haven't been into Nethack in a while but I've heard good things.

Well I'm the guy who gets yelled at a lot because I tend to like a lot of indie games. But Fez does stand out from the crowd, and when you play it you can really see why it took 5 years to make.

But also I don't think every indie game needs to be or even necessarily should be like Fez. There are a ton of Roguelikes for example that are pretty bare bones or look unimpressive because they were just made by one guy in his spare time but they're very fun regardless.

Last time I was at one of my friend's house we played some physics based tetris block tower building game that where me, him, his wife and young daughter all played and had a blast with. It wasn't an amazing game on the level of a Fez, but it was cheap and great fun for an afternoon.

By the same token my own wife plays a lot of word scramble and Candy Crush clone games on her phone. Some of the word ones have actually been interesting and although I don't give a shit about the CC clones, she enjoys them. Most actual retro games she doesn't care for much unless they're other puzzlers like Dr Mario.

You should try Powder. It's fairly streamlined but still very interesting and challenging. It also has a really fun class/god system which you can change each level.
