Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions? For example: easy puzzle games, match-3 games, low-difficulty adventure games, or clicker-style games.

So far, the only good examples I've found are Monument Valley, Suika Game, and (sort of) Vampire Survivors.

I'm personally looking for games that have more progression or variety, but any suggestions are welcome.

Stardew Valley is a good one, but I definately wouldn't consider Terraria casual or low-stress.

Not to mention using touch controls for it is brutal. At least, for me it is. Might be decent if using a controller with your phone.

I've tried it even with the razor kishi. No dice. This game was born for mouse and keyboard.

Stardew Valley can be stress inducing if you are that type of player.

  • "Let me do a bit of fishing on the beach OH FCK it's already 1 AM. Intense cardio session towards my house before JoJo employees steal 1000G."
  • "I need to give Demetrius a gift by the end of the day. WHERE TF ARE YOU ROAMING ABOUT? Come take your gift!"
  • "Let me visit the shop for some seeds. WHO THE HELL CLOSES SHOP on a Wednesday? Am I the only one working in this town?"
  • "Marnie TF you closing shop at 3 PM! My chickens need hay and you are frolicking in the bar"

Terarria can be played as casual or low stress. You choose when to advance the difficulty, and how elaborately you contruct your preparations for the next step. But for a largely stress-free casual playstyle, focus on being a summoner. Also, there isn't much penalty for dying. So if you can wrap your mind around not being bothered by dying, then any playstyle can feel casual really. It's certainly a tough mindset to achieve for some of us though, lol.

I agree. I only mentioned it because it was recommended to me as low stress, so I thought it was just me that didn't get it lol
