Here’s my games folder:

Finding mobile games that aren’t live service garbage is tough but at least a lot of good PC games just port to android.

• Shattered Pixel Dungeon: Fun, compact, traditional NetHack-esque roguelike
• Slice & Dice: Really cool dice-based risk-reward turn-based combat game

In addition to being good games, neither has any microtransactions, ads, or any of that BS, was happy to give the devs some money.

Rhythm games, especially Phigros and COXETA. I also like the mobile port of Portal Knights, even if it is inferior compared to the other versions, and the developers have dropped this port.

Stardew valley. Such a good game that plays great, especially on tablet.

Vampire Survivors. It makes my phone catch fire but it is fire

The only commercial Android game I regularly play is Wordscapes. It’s an almost embarrassing level of enduring basic bitch addiction, I don’t engage with any microtransaction bait, I have a systemwide ad blocker… and I love it.

Otherwise it’s all Emulators and Open Source (covered well elsewhere in this thread).

Among us and started valley

Dead cells, out there omega edition, 20 minutes till dawm, vampire survivors, titan quest, hollow knight, 9th dawm rpg 3, starrows, scourgebringer, undead horde

Orna RPG! It’s a GPS game like Pokemon Go with a classic RPG style, no pay to win options, a great community, and Devs who listen to feedback with regular updates.

Genuinely the best GPS game I’ve played by a long shot.

Probably shattered pixel dungeon

My favourite Android game is Genshin Impact even though I only play it on PC… but hey it exists on Android 😬

sling kong and smashy city r pretty cool games

… RetroArch.

Been playing Golf Blitz for a couple of years and still absolutely love it. Also recently enjoyed revisiting World of Goo (although it now only seems to work if you have Netflix - I do, but it’s a shame it’s not available for everyone)

John gba lite with pokemon unbound rom.
