Depends on your willingness to pay. Balatro, Slay the Spire, Dead Cells are all really good but cost around 10 bucks each but are among the best mobile games you could want, all offering different styles of gameplay
In the end I just settled with the logic based ones like minesweeper and sudoku. F-droid has a good version each (and more than one maybe).
PlanetCon is a decent strategy game on its basic settings. I haven’t customised it but have had a fair amount of fun in it. But it is nothing perfect, do not expect too much out of it. If you learn how to not attract the ire of all AI opponents simultaneously though, you can have short bursts of decent strategy enjoyment.
Simon Tatham’s Puzzles is my go-to. No art to speak of, but it just does what it’s supposed to and you’ll quickly find a few favorites. No fluff, no ads, nothing to annoy or distract from the gameplay.
Animal crossing pocket camp just became buy to play. It’s currently on a reduced price right now, and it’s pretty fun. I enjoy it because it’s played vertically, and now that there’s no micro transactions, I can earn all the items just by playing. It had a 7 year life cycle, so there’s a lot of content to check out.
The gameplay loop is fairly limited, and I wouldn’t say it’s the most fun. But once you get enough items to start decorating things, it makes it fun to spruce to your campsite and personal spaces.
If you’re into simple games, there’s one called Lato from F-droid. It’s just a snowboarding game where you click to jump over boulders and cliffs with a changing atmosphere and relaxing music. It helps me ease my mind.
This is interesting, it looks like a remake of Alto’s Adventure. The control sensitivity takes a moment to get used to, but the background is just as nice as the original, and the music is indeed relaxing
Which handheld do you have? The games depends on the screen size and buttons available. Without that information, !Balatro@lemm.ee is the only safe bet I have.
A Retroid Pocket 4 Pro? That thing is an emulation beast. For me, I’d be right at home playing Dreamcast and PSP games with RetroAchievements turned on. But this thread isn’t about emulation.
I bet !skychildrenoflight@lemmy.world runs great on this thing. Dead Cells and Streets of Rage 4 seem to be popular picks too. I’d look into unofficial ports like RSDK, Ship of Harkinian, Open XCOM, Open Lara, and D1X-Redux. The Retroid front end can probably install some of those for you.

Just to start off, there was a thread about this some time ago.
Did you look at who the creator of this and that thread was?
Not intending to be mean or anything, just found it funny.
Oh. I forgot that I made this same post a while ago
It’s still useful because others will have the same question.
Yup, I agree.
😅 I went a bit fast lol. It’s been a while so I’m sure new stuff will come up (like Balatro was mentioned)
Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a great Rouge-like.

Nah, everything is filtered through a slight red filter

Balatro. I only own it on Android. I don’t think the experience is significantly reduced on Android as opposed to PC/other platforms.
If you’re into puzzles you can check out puzzmo.com and add it to your home screen. Works great on mobile and has really fun daily games!

+1 for mindustry. If you like factorio, this is a game for you.
+1 for Magic Survival 🖤
Stardew Valley is popular
I play it on switch :3
I assume that is a better experience in just about every way!

Its an rp4 pro. Baisally dual analog. Dpad and face buttons and shoulders and triggers

Both are excellent PC games with native Android ports.
What about Guardian Tales ?(if you are into Zelda like RPG)
