These are the games I have installed

Out of all of these if I weren't always at home and had a controller with me it's vampire survivor and dead cells. No controller, reigns.

brotato and vampire survivors

Sonic runners revival!
It's the full original Sonic Runners game that was discontinued by SEGA, but dedicated fans have reviewed it via reverse engineering the backend server responses and patching the app to point to their servers to keep the app running.

Even though it's "just" a mobile game, it's surprisingly high quality, has a full blown story mode and even the multiplayer features still work!

I like playing Monument Valley. The twists are fun!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I saw Slay the Spire mentioned exactly once, so I'm going to put the highlight on my current favorite mobile game:

Slay the Spire is a deck-builder roguelike that gives you a different experience every single game. It encourages broken mechanics and rewards inventiveness while having enough rng to feel like a fresh experience. It's challenging enough to make winning feel like you earned it, but not so challenging that you can't win if you really try.

The android version is a pay-once full port of the pc version, achievements and all. The touch controls are very well done. I've been hooked since 2020 when I discovered the game on steam.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's my favorite too! I never get bored because there's always been strategies to explore. Also love that it's offline so I can play anywhere, like a plane

  • Monument Valley 2 [paid] - amazing for relaxing
  • Standoff 2 - just a shooter game that doesn't force all of the cases and levels and upgrading. It has those features, but I just open the game and start the match.
  • Falling Lightblocks - best Tetris clone.
  • Antimine - Minesweeper with ton of themes and settings. It's FOSS but the Google Play version has ads, download from F-Droid.
  • Flowit (F-Droid ,GPlay) - simple FOSS game that melts my brain after first few levels.
  • Despotism 3k [paid] - great game. It's pretty hard. Very funny too.
  • Mindustry (F-Droid, GPlay) - My brain is too small to understand this game. But it's fun.
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Mindustry is a completely different (and much less frustrating) game on steam, for what it's worth. Mostly due to the fact mouse+keyboard is MUCH more intuitive than touch controls. Also fun fact, as long as you're running the same version, you can port your save game between your phone and your pc.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My go-tos at the moment are:

  • Oldschool Runescape - wooooooooo
  • Danmaku Death - old, free, no in-app purchases or ads bullet hell game from 2014, but it's delisted from the play store...

Other games I've enjoyed

  • Super Auto Pets. Base game is free with no ads, but there are cosmetics and expansion packs.
  • Pixel Dungeon and its variants. Free roguelike with no ads and no in app purchases.
  • Magikarp Jump. Fun little incremental game where you make magikarp jump. Has in-app purchases.

I remember the magic I experienced the first time I played RS back in 2007. The game was mind opening. Although I only had a free account, but nevertheless had a blast getting my first Adam and Rune full gear.

How is OSRS for you now? What are you enjoying the most. I wonder if I will get the spark back if I try it or if I'll be overwhelmed of the options of things to do

Star Wars KOTOR and just started Elder Scrolls Morrowind via OpenMW. And if I don’t have much time I play PokeMMO

Genshin Impact, Punishing: Gray Raven and Streets of Rage 4 (non-gacha)

Thankfully that's as far as I'll go into gacha nation (until the release of Wuthering Waves, at least). I'm good at controlling my wallet and not thirsting over every character.

Egg, Inc. - simple game, feels like the olden days but it's also entirely modernised. Just recieved a tonne of qol enhancements.

If you are a regular player and got far enough to need a co-op, and play well. Hit me up!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I find mobile games to be a crapshoot, and I've only ever found a select few hidden gems that are exceptions:

  • Armory & Machine, an incremental game. Avoid the sequel.
  • Underhand, a card game good enough for people who don't like card games.

Vampire Survivors!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Not a "game" technically, but I love Conway's Game of Life. Robust features and just plain cool.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Can try Paradise Hotel, if you just want to pass some time. FREE

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paradise.hotel&hl=en

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Genshin impact, when not killing time here or reading articles elsewhere.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Super Auto Pets is really fun and laid back. Its very strategic and pretty mechanically deep, but you battle against teams that have been pre-recorded from other players, so you can close the game at any time and rejoin whenever you have downtime. Imo it's the best parts of PVP and single player combined.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think half of my Lemmy posts are talking about SAP. It's such a good autobattler. Just boiled the genre down to the key components

Vampire Survivors (don't worry i'm not addicted... I can stop at any time if I want)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sometimes a break is needed to play something different, like holocure for example, then more vampire survivors

I've got Morrowind on my fold3, it's amazing

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Papers, Please is a great port that works on my S22 just fine. I also enjoy Game Dev Tycoon (not Game Dev Story), Into the Breach (if you're a Netflix customer it's free), and Chess.com (if you're into chess, just set it to a 24 hour game so you can play once a day)

Sudoku. Quick and easy to drop in and out of.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Since Sudoku was so popular few years back, I've play on a regular basis. Is not trending anymore but continues to be my go-to game to spare some time and keep my mind sharpen (I'm in the 60s group)

10000000

It's a match three game, where you have to escape a dungeon by running 10000000 miles. Go in, get gold, exp and resources, upgrade and repeat. I've played though at least once everything I upgrade my phone. Just a well made game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Tons of emulator games along with dysmantle, arena of valor, oceanhorn, dragon quest games, pascal's wager etc. But I only play when I'm away from my pc which is not that often but these games help me kill time a lot.
