In addition to being good games, neither has any microtransactions, ads, or any of that BS, was happy to give the devs some money.

[–] aluminium@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Stardew valley. Such a good game that plays great, especially on tablet.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Shattered Pixel Dungeon, Endless Sky, and Mindustry (especially that last one, which I haven't seen anybody else mention yet).

I get all my games from F-Droid, not any commercial app store.

[–] boopdepop@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mindustry is such a gem. It's cross platform too, You can find it here

[–] HashinHenry@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Merely a gateway drug to Factorio

[–] iSharted@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I love factorio!

[–] Evono@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Mine are bloons td 6, league of legends, and rocket league.

[–] Pretzelise@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Orna RPG! It's a GPS game like Pokemon Go with a classic RPG style, no pay to win options, a great community, and Devs who listen to feedback with regular updates.

Genuinely the best GPS game I've played by a long shot.

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.

[–] tag27@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Rhythm games, especially Phigros and COXETA. I also like the mobile port of Portal Knights, even if it is inferior compared to the other versions, and the developers have dropped this port.

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).

[–] TwilightVulpine@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's a good while I don't hear about Osmos, it's a fun game.

Been really enjoying Night of the Full Moon. Slay the Spire like but the opponents have decks and play like players. It's free to play with expansions and an ad free experience you can pay for. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ztgame.yyzy

[–] MinekPo1@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Probably shattered pixel dungeon

[–] Tywele@dataterm.digital 1 points 1 year ago

My favourite Android game is Genshin Impact even though I only play it on PC... but hey it exists on Android 😬

[–] patfussy69@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

sling kong and smashy city r pretty cool games

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Open Sudoku and Endless Sky. ES saves the game as a text file. If you play it on PC and save a file the last line of the text file is the only difference. You can play the game on both and save back and forth. I only have FOSS apps. I don't have any google stuff at all. Both of these are from F-Droid.

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

[–] rave_demon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Among us and started valley

[–] interloper@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I love starred valley

[–] PAPPP@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

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).

[–] MrPear@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Stardew Valley, Xenowerk and Don't Starve Pocket Edition.

Vampire Survivor. I love games that i can play offline.

[–] keanu0396@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For me, it's using emulation. I'm currently playing Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door from the GameCube, and there are very few android games that can match the quality of older AAA titles.

Plus, no microtransactions!

[–] DolceTriade@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like to play Lichess puzzles and chess.com puzzles.

[–] thesylveranti@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Li-chess? Is that a new form of chess?

[–] ayyndrew@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Wodge@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Holy Hell etc.

[–] DolceTriade@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Nah it's just a chess app

[–] columbiatch@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Favorite game is Gwent, though I usually play it on desktop. The game I play most often on Android is either Cytus 2 or Dead Cells.
