    Mobile games usually get a bad rep as they're usually asset flips and/or MTX-ridden and/or ad-filled, etc., and I'm sure this is actually the case for most games on the app/play store. But are there any ones that are actually good, maybe just something to pass the time with?

      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.

        What did you decide? Watching videos of people playing (for the first time) would give you an idea of value for yourself.

              I really like Robotek by Hexage. It's free and you can play offline.

                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.

                  There were, back in the day.

                  Tap tap revenge and Paper toss were great.

                  Now everything is just shit for morons.

                    Antiyoy is a clone of the 2000s game "Slay", which is on Steam with updated graphics, to my surprise.

                    Thanks a lot, learned something new today! Though the guy keeps pumping out great other games which seems original, so I maintain my suggestion.
