This is so good that I bought it in iOS
I've enjoyed ports from PC games and emulation. Emulation is pretty good on android now, and that opens up a LOT of options for offline & no ads
You are absolutely correct! Only downside is it kind of sucks trying to control with onscreen controller. I suppose I'd better learn to share my bluetooth gamepad ;p
This is when Nintendo ds games and searching out games that had only stylus controls comes in handy. Stuff like Kirby Mass Attack or Warioware feel like native games. If you got a Samsung with a Spen then that's a dream combo.

Unciv is a decent Civilization clone. And it's open source.
Seconded! The top mods are worth checking out, too.
Terraria
Supertuxkart
Nice! The OG.
Simon Tatham's puzzle collection is my fallback game for whenever I don't have internet or am bored with whatever other game I'm playing
Similaritron (seems abandoned, but still works)
Doesn't work on my phone (made for an older version of android) but it looks like the game "set", and googling that I found this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nelis.set (haven't tried it yet but it has the tag "offline" so looks good)

Stardew Valley, 10/10
If you like American football, big recommend for Retro Bowl - as the name suggests, it's an old-school arcade/NES style game heavily inspired by Tecmo Bowl. Plays really well on mobile, and has a small premium charge to permanently unlock some nice extra features (e.g. roster customisation).
+1 for RB
I'm completely addicted (I'm in season 90 or so); it's my go-to when I've just got a few minutes for a game. I think it's one of the best games on mobile.
If the game does not need online features, then you can make any game "ad free" with an app like "NetGuard". Just block the app from accessing the internet.
Or add 'dns.adguard-dns.com' into Private DNS in your phones settings.

Dead Cells & Titan Quest. Both are amazing games, work totally offline, no ads.

Found an old archive so I'm going to ad to the thread myself:
Alto's Adventure and Alto's Odyssey both definitely work offline, but I'm not sure about them trying to serve you advertisements.
I also used to have a considerable library of emulated games on my phone and would use a bluetooth gamepad. I should probably go back down this road I think! I'd imagine emulation has come a long way since I was mucking around with it.
I believe Kotor 1 doesn't require a connection to play, and it's more of a tactical game, so it's not as annoying to play on a touch screen.
Unciv and Shattered Pixel Dungeon have been on my Phone forever. Both available on FDroid.
Mindustry and Unciv are my main recommendations. If you like strategy stuff, you'll have a blast.
Unciv and Mindustry, both which are also free, on fdroid, and open-source.
Patience balls
DATA WING, is a great game! Really well made, easy to pick up for a few miniuits and really well scripted!

Pixel Dungeon or Shattered Pixel. They're roguelike dungeon explorers. The latter is a continuation of the former, which hasn't been developed for some years now.
Battle for Wesnoth is cool once you get used to the weird controls
Witcheye is a good version of flappy bird, as its controlled with only one finger, with extremely difficult platforming.
Supermeat boy forever, great game all around but very difficult.
Slay the Spire is a heavy recommendation from me, though it does have online sync I'm pretty sure it works offline...
Can recommend Oxenfree and Kentucky Route Zero. They are tied to a Netflix subscription on mobile though (on the other hand, if you already have Netflix, they’re free).
Besides that, Monument Valley 1 and 2 are amazing games. And The Room series is also very entertaining.
I also would recommend Broken age and Life is Strange but they seem to not be on the Google Play Store anymore…
