Baba is You
What’s this one about?
Puzzle game where you push blocks around. Blocks with words can be pushed together to change game behavior. For example on a level with Baba, Is, and You blocks together let you control your character (your character is named Baba). But if you push a block that says Door in front of the Is and You blocks you will suddenly control the doors instead of Baba. It’s a really cool concept and the levels get extremely imaginative. And also difficult
Stardew valley. Such a good game that plays great, especially on tablet.
My favorite Android game has always been, and still is, OSMOS. It used to be in the play store. You can still get it on Android from Hemisphere. There’s also iOS, Ipad, Steam (for Linux), OS X and Windows versions. I love this game so much I keep an ancient 7" pad with Marshmallow 6 offline just for it (Because I had the original on it - You don’t need an ancient device).
It’s a good while I don’t hear about Osmos, it’s a fun game.
Lots of good memories of Android humble bundles, playing Osmos and Eufloria. Too bad that program petered out
The only commercial Android game I regularly play is Wordscapes. It’s an almost embarrassing level of enduring basic bitch addiction, I don’t engage with any microtransaction bait, I have a systemwide ad blocker… and I love it.
Otherwise it’s all Emulators and Open Source (covered well elsewhere in this thread).
Here’s my games folder:
Finding mobile games that aren’t live service garbage is tough but at least a lot of good PC games just port to android.
Here’s mine. Ignore the background.
Yep, there’s a grass touching simulator. I mostly play Bus Simulator: Ultimate, though it gets my battery temperature to 55°C. Enough to hurt on fingers.

Among us and started valley
I love starred valley
Marvel Contest of Champions or emulators when I actually want to play something
Royal Match or Woody when I just want to kill a couple minutes
Mighty Doom is a fun auto shooter, made by Bethesda and has minimal ads (opt to watch for rewards) and micro transactions are not required to win.
Marvel Snap is cool. You can have a fun time paying 0
I do really like that so far paying is completely optional. I found so many of the android F2P are good for a couple weeks (or only days) before you realize you need to spend money to really play the game.
Came here to say this. Not only can you have fun F2P, the games are quick, so you can play one in a few minutes.
Lichess
Hill Climb Racing 2. I don’t really play much on my smartphone.
- Shattered Pixel Dungeon: Fun, compact, traditional NetHack-esque roguelike
- Slice & Dice: Really cool dice-based risk-reward turn-based combat game
In addition to being good games, neither has any microtransactions, ads, or any of that BS, was happy to give the devs some money.
Probably shattered pixel dungeon
My favourite Android game is Genshin Impact even though I only play it on PC… but hey it exists on Android 😬
