Swordigo is the single decent mobile game. Still, I didn't expect to see it already mentioned. Neat!
Alto - very calming and engaging game where you go down a mountain on your snowboard trying to catch llamas and do aerial tricks. Excellent vibes, no bothersome ads or micro transactions i think.
Night of the Full Moon is incredible.
If you have a rooted phone, an older android version, or the ability to access the android/data folder to move files around, I hear some pvz2 mods are pretty good. Only ones I can personally say are good are Refloureshed and Eclise, though it's been a long time since I've played Eclise. Both are harder versions of vanilla.
good ol' tetris
Auralux 2
Monument Valley 1 and 2.
Haven't found anything that isn't microtransaction and ad-riddled trash or a port of an older game since.
Reigns is quite fun
There's an app I really like called Minireview, focused on finding and reviewing mobile games.
I've rather enjoyed 20 Minutes Till Dawn
I've only played it on PC but I like this quite a bit as well
Atomas is pretty fun, it's super simple and looks really good
I Love Hue and I Love Hue Too. Also, My Friend Pedro. That one's pretty short though.
Minesweeper on fdroid
Board game adaptations tend to be good. Everdell and bottom of the ninth for preference.
Le Parker is my favorite side scrolling platformer on mobile that no one knows about.
If you like puzzles, horror and all things weird, definitely try some of the games by Rusty Lake.
The entire Cube Escape series is available for free (a sort of excape the room puzzle).
Super auto pets is incredibly based
Super Auto Pets is one I like
There are plenty of puzzle-style ones like Sagadoku/Blockudoku, Minesweeper, etc.
My favorite mobile games are
Don't starve
Dead Cells
Emulating old RPG games through Delta or Lemuroid
Kingdom Rush has been fun and not needy. (The first one?)
Ive tried the second and it's good too. Pretty fun tower defense and no need to buy anything or watch ads.
My favorite is Time Surfer. The core mechanic is basically the same as Tiny Wings, but the theme, artwork, levels, etc are all very different. I especially enjoy the chiptunes!
I've been playing half life using xash3D for this very reason. People are on multiplayer all the time, counter strike has players too. I'm really hoping to find people playing team fortress sometime.
Cultist Simulator
I use cutlist optimizer to figure out the best way to cut plywood panels, this confused me, as it's not a game. CuLTist is different than cuTList
Just passing by to say that with a little fiddling, you can get Morrowind running on your phone, touch screen controls and all if you don't have a gamepad.
For some ungodly reason CA also ported Rome and Medieval 2 Total War - these are certainly not the best UIs ever, but it's pretty hilarious to see how far you can push the hardware.
Try 'A dark room'. It's a bit different, but it had depth and your can get into it. I also still love 'Plague inc.'.
