Correct!

Some other recent PC ports are Balatro, Hitman: Bloodmoney Reprisal, Gordian Quest, Xcom 2, Wreckfest, GRID and GRID Legends, Slice & Dice, Company of Heroes, Total War games.

Older PC ports: Baldur's Gate, Star Wars KOTOR 1 and 2 (they were free on Android Epic Store BTW), Stardew Valley, Slay the Spire, Dicey Dungeons, Dead Cells, Mindustry, and others.

For console ports, there's lots more, especially from Quare Enix and Capcom, but not only! For example the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters (from 1 to 6), Final Fantasy 8, Chrono Trigger, Trials of Mana, Dragon Quest series, Dragon Quest Monsters, Monster Hunter Stories, SaGa series, Valkyrie Profile, Ghost Trick, Ace Attorney, Professor Layton, Castlevania SOTN, Lara Croft Guardian of Light, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath, etc.

Same! There's quite a few of those on the Play Store, and they're porting them at a faster rate nowadays.

What's the state of Android browsers? Want to move away from Samsung Internet by char_stats in c/android@lemmy.world
[-] char_stats@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Oh wow! This is the definition of fully featured and it has my favorite UI customization in any browser. Also, the ad-block section as user filters and URL ones.

Unfortunately it isn't FOSS, so I'll be sticking to Fennec for now. And the dark mode isn't as good as Samsung Internet or Dark Reader, even though for minor elements.

Thanks for the recommendation nonetheless!

Goodbye, Ridiculous Fishing: How Android's 32-bit purge erased my favorite classic games by char_stats in c/android@lemdro.id
[-] char_stats@lemm.ee 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

You can sideload these games and some of them will still work. I know I played Ridiculous Fishing a couple months ago on my S23+ with Android 14. It had few glitches, but it was perfectly playable and enjoyable.

What I'm sure you can't play is Chaos Rings 1 and 2, and it's an absolute disgrace. I've even tried with VM and PPSSPP (as they were released on PSP too), but no luck. Only way is PC probably.

Thankfully, Chaos Rings 3 is still up on the Play Store and compatible. It is a masterpiece with an absurdly beautiful OST and excellent story. If you like JRPGs and you haven't played it, I urge you to do so before it's too late.

Fix needed: tapping on Lemmy links outside the app doesn't redirect to exact destination when Summit is closed (lemm.ee)

I have a link to one of my posts saved in my notes.

  • When the Summit app is closed (double tap on back button), if I open this link in my notes the only thing that happens is that Summit starts, but I'm not in my post. I'm just on my main feed, home screen basically.

  • When Summit is already open in the background, if I open the link I'm redirected to the correct post.

I hope I've explained it clearly enough, and it should be easy to replicate!

I've been using Samsung Internet for a very long time, knowing it isn't the best one for privacy. However, the user experience with it is, for me, unmatched by any other browser, including Vivaldi, Brave, and any Firefox forks.

So here's what I'm looking for in a browser:

  • preferably FOSS

  • some control on privacy setting, less trackers/fingerprinting, etc. Doesn't have to be the most hardened.

  • decent dark mode for web pages (Dark Reader is OK)

  • bottom search bar

  • bottom tabs bar rather than tab switcher

  • a quit button I don't have to tap and scroll 2 times to find. Ideally it'd be placed on the main bottom bar

  • the quit button must clear cache and close all tabs, so I think it should be native and not an extension, but maybe I'm wrong?

Is there any browser that can give me that?

I'd love using Fennec as my main - and God knows I've tried multiple times to - but missing some of those feature made it hard for me to leave Samsung Internet behind. ATM I'm using both browsers BTW.

Any suggestion is appreciated!

Introduction

(scroll down for the actual list)

This is a list of all games, sorted by category, that I've purchased and finished during the years and I'd like to recommend as they're all excellent and without predatory monetization or gacha system.

Edit: now I'm also including the most recommended titles by the community - which I haven't playtested yet or I'm not particularly interested in - marked with ๐Ÿ’ฌ.
If you want your entry to have a chance to be listed, these are the criteria:

  • paid Play Store games compatible with recent Android versions
  • no ads or microtransactions except ads-removal, full-game unlock, or proper DLCs
  • you love the game and think it's worth the price
  • include link and genre

I will still use my discretion and judgment to filter the entries, in an effort to try and keep the list's quality high.

[If you want to recommend free games, without ads or microtransactions, here is the list for you.]

Some of the games may be free with IAP's, but EXCLUSIVELY to unlock the full game, DLCs, or remove ads (no gacha or energy/gambling mechanics, "diamonds", pay-to-win, or any recurrent cash-grab bullshit of sort).

[Disclaimer: chances are some items in this list will inevitably be removed from Play Store as time goes by, or will not be compatible with future Android versions. I'll do my best to always keep it updated, but feel free to PM me if you come across any unavailable title and I'll make a correction]

I'm planning to keep the list updated for personal reference with the new games I'll play and like, or old games I've played that will come to mind later. So feel free to save it and check out new entries every so often.

My ultimate goal is to promote worthy content and honest/talented devs, hoping to see more quality games in the future, rather than the cancerous cash-grab machines the Play Store is regrettably riddled with. And, of course, to let everyone have a great time playing great titles ;)

Roguelite tabletop

Some setting items don't show in search. Also, is there no search within a community? (lemm.ee)
submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by char_stats@lemm.ee to c/summit@lemmy.world
2 comments fedilink

First of all, best Lemmy app I've tried so far and I can see the attention to details and to the customization that matters. So hats off to you for the brilliant work!

I tried searching for "draft" or "drafts" or "save" in the settings, and nothing popped up. However, there is a setting for "Save drafts automatically". I suppose that's a non-indexed item which should have been indexed?

~~The other thing I wanted to ask is if there's a way to search into communities, if that's even a thing in Lemmy as I'm new here, and if the feature is roadmapped? I believe it's an essential feature to avoid things being asked countless times in communities.~~ [Edit: there's Filter by community]

Thanks for your work and keep it up!

Introduction

(scroll down for the actual list)

I recently realized there are still, to this day, some actual "hidden gems" in the Play Store. Not the fake ones everyone talks about which, in a way or another, often have a catch or aren't very "hidden". I mean free games with no ads or IAPs of any kind that are fun to play.

So I was thinking maybe it's time to compile a list of them. Please suggest the ones you've found and enjoyed!

I won't try them all as I did with my premium games list [will update with link as soon as I post it], because this time you could simply download and try them for yourself without spending a dime. I'll simply list them.

โ€ผ๏ธAlso, please do checkout MiniReview - Game Reviews for more free games that match the following criteria (use the "Browse" tab and select the correct filters). The same app for iOS - App Store - is here.โ€ผ๏ธ

ย 

Entry Criteria

  • FREE
  • NO ADS
  • STRICTLY NO IAPs (except donation buttons, but I'll have to check before adding the game to the list, so no guarantees it'll be added quickly)
  • it has to be a legit game, of course. Full, not demo.
  • it has to be available on the Play Store and compatible with the latest, official Android version at the time of writing/updating (14)
  • possibly include a link to the game on the Play Store

I've saved this post so to keep it updated over time, for my own reference and for your benefit. So feel free to save it and check out new entries every so often.

Free Android Games - no ads, no IAPs, no gacha. by char_stats in c/android@lemdro.id
[-] char_stats@lemm.ee 61 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Hi everyone!

I'm moving my two lists of games from Reddit to Lemmy, as I'm planning to jump platform and totally abandon Reddit in the future. The reason is well, Lemmy is better, and Reddit's admin have suspended or shadowbanned my account without reason, deleting all my contributions to the community (Android Gaming) there.

Most notably my two lists of games which I've curated for 4 years: "100% free games" and "Favorite PAID games".

Lemmy's still young and, unfortunately, there isn't a relevant or active Android gaming community yet, so I'm uploading here hoping I'm not doing anything wrong!

I'll probably cross-post the two lists on android(at)lemmy.world too.

I'm very new to Lemmy so ANY feedback is appreciated. Thank you!

Introduction

(scroll down for the actual list)

I recently realized there are still, to this day, some actual "hidden gems" in the Play Store. Not the fake ones everyone talks about which, in a way or another, often have a catch or aren't very "hidden". I mean free games with no ads or IAPs of any kind that are fun to play.

So I was thinking maybe it's time to compile a list of them. Please suggest the ones you've found and enjoyed!

I won't try them all as I did with my premium games list here, because you could simply download and try them for yourself without spending a dime. I'll simply list them.

โ€ผ๏ธAlso, please do checkout MiniReview - Game Reviews for more free games that match the following criteria (use the "Browse" tab and select the correct filters). The same app for iOS - App Store - is here.โ€ผ๏ธ

Entry Criteria

  • FREE
  • NO ADS
  • STRICTLY NO IAPs (except donation buttons, but I'll have to check before adding the game to the list, so no guarantees it'll be added quickly)
  • it has to be a legit game, of course. Full, not demo.
  • it has to be available on the Play Store and compatible with the latest, official Android version at the time of entry
  • possibly include a link to the game on the Play Store

I've saved this post so to keep it updated over time, for my own reference and for your benefit. So feel free to save it and check out new entries every so often.
