2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

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.

One time purchase:

  • Peglin ✨
  • Luck be a landlord ✨
  • Forager
  • Dicey dungeons
  • Dead Cells (optional DLC)
  • Bloons Tower Defense 6 (out of the way IAP) ✨
  • Terraria
  • 20 minutes till dawn (has a non premium option with some micro transactions)

Free:

  • Antimatter dimensions (long idle-ish game) ✨
  • Legends of Runeterra (just play the story modes) ✨
  • Team fight tactics (cosmetics only)
  • Plague inc (and probably rebel inc, but I haven't played that yet) ✨
  • Super Auto Pets (cosmetics and extra optional sets) ✨

Star on the ones I'd specifically recommend for casual play

You need to make a bulleted list because your lists came out as jumbled paragraphs. At a minimum you need to put two spaces at the end of each line to preserve line breaks.

I'll fix it since you put in all the effort to write that up.

I reached Challenger on Teamfight Tactics in a couple seasons and I've gotta say it honestly gets a bit tiresome how often they change the game. Mortdog and Co do a great job on balance but you just can't swap from set to set that often and expect things not to break. Plus they like to nerf the things I like the most, and that's inexcusable.

I also didn't really care for it as mobile game because you can't hop in and out, you start a match you need to finish the match and they're not short. Even the "quick" mode is like fifteen minutes long.

In other words? Great desktop game for people that don't mind the meta changing entirely every six months. Great "mobile" game if you want to kill no less than thirty minutes.
