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!

brotato and vampire survivors

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.

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.

I like playing Monument Valley. The twists are fun!

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

Vampire Survivors!

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.

• 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.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon

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!

Chess.com and Lichess

Vampire Survivors

Phigros, Hill Climb Racing, Patapon on PPSSPP, Piano Tiles 2 (hmu for the original apk), Cytoid Other than that I just doomscroll

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

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)

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.

Merge mansion lol

I love hue and I love hue too Tsuki adventure 2 and Tsuki odyssey MonopolyGo Wild Rift And I'm switching between some idle tycoon games.

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

• Slay the Spire

• Really Bad Chess

• Ticket to Ride

• Nonograms Katana

• Atomas

• One More Brick

'Dots' and 'Two Dots'

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

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.

Flow https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigduckgames.flow

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

Space cadet pinball is the only game

I use fo2.exe to play original Fallouts

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.

currently Dragonvale, because I like collecting things

same with Pokemon Go 💀

Oddly enough, two player game. It has some good one player player games built in

My daughter got me addicted to Cookie Run Kingdom

Mostly Frozen Bubble
