Only ports of premium games, mobile games ironically were at their best before smartphones, java and keitai games are all complete experiences and demakes of other popular games.
Was replaying Deep 3D in an emulador and was surprised how well it sill holds up, also Galaxy on fire 1 and 2, Asphalt 3
Also if you have Netflix their games there are good and complete, like Into the Breach.
yes, if you like emulation. Just put a gamecube in there, maybe a playstation. I had fun with hoyo stuff too, but fuck the gacha mechanics.
Tetris.
Maybe it's not what you're looking for, but classics are classics for a reason. If you're on anything remotely standard you can find a port.
Here are some that I've played:
Shattered Pixel Dungeon - Roguelike
Endless Sky - SpaceSim
Simon Tatham's Puzzle Collection - Puzzles
Katawa Shoujo - Visual Novel
Snoot Game - Ditto
Gurgle - Worldle clone
TuxKart - Mario Kart clone
There's a free mobile game called sky that I'd highly recommend, it's extremely calming but also very well made.
Saving this threat for later.
A threat for a good time.
Lol.
"thread"
Atomas was mentioned in another comment; I can vouch for it as well.
A Dark Room is a fun (if not somewhat short) text-based game.
Bonza and Smash Hit are good for passing the time.
Vector Classic and Shadow Fight 2 (Special Edition) used to be my favorites as a teen, though I otherwise wouldn't recommend Nekki games since they're full of ads and dark patterns.
If you like basic racing games, mad skills mx 3 is pretty fun once you get the hang of it. Straight rhythm tracks, find the fastest line and set the fastest time to compete with everyone.
I liked Knights of pen and paper 2, and Hoplite.
But that's about it 🫤
Stardew Valley, which is an amazing harvest moon like game, and subnautica if your device is compatible.
Another good option is to download winlator from the internet and use it to play older Windows games. I play FTL on it. You could also play stuff like Civ probably. I think civ 5 has a touchscreen mode.
Night of the Full Moon Clickpocalypse Atomas Rusted Warfare Luck be a Landlord Magnet Balls 2
CrossMe is great, simple mechanic and hundreds of puzzles to solve.
One thing I don't see people mentioning is that Netflix has a bunch of good games for "free" if you already subscribe.
Through the ages has expansions and zero other mtx. Super balanced gameplay with pass and play if you need it.
Unnamed space idle: free idle game without any ads kr necessary purchases
I play a game called townsfolk that's pretty fun but it's free for the basic stuff but a one time purchase unlocks a bunch of content.
Orna, it's a gps game like pokemon go but it's a standard kill monsters get loot mmoRPG.
It does have MTX, but I've never bought any and I'm still enjoying myself. It doesn't significantly limit you for not spending like some games.
Antimatter Dimensions
I must have spent days playing Smash Hit
I used to like Bejeweled 2, Asphalt 6 and Kingdom Rush.
Ppkp and sneak ops are 2 I quite enjoyed :3 there's some other ones too, but those 2 are probably the ones I played the most recently that I put a decent chunk of time into.. for the others I'd probably have to replay to see how they hold up
The only good mobile games that i can think of are ports.
Like Knights of the Old Republic.
Amazing brick
In my experience the play store is awful to use if you're looking for anything that's not full of ads and/or extremely monetized. I recommend only using it when you know exactly which app you're looking for.
Generally I find games through itch.io and recommendations from others. Also there are foss game emulators on GitHub and similar sites.
Netflix recently started offering mobile games as well.
Ages ago humble bundle did android games but that's all in the past now.
I've been enjoying worldbox and lichess. I used to have a bunch more but the latest Android version made most of my collection stop working.
