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.
Here’s mine. Ignore the background.
Yep, there’s a grass touching simulator. I mostly play Bus Simulator: Ultimate, though it gets my battery temperature to 55°C. Enough to hurt on fingers.

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).
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.
… RetroArch.
Do you use any sort of controller, or just use the on screen buttons?
Can’t stand the on screen buttons. I use this thing with the clip.
Baba is You
What’s this one about?
Puzzle game where you push blocks around. Blocks with words can be pushed together to change game behavior. For example on a level with Baba, Is, and You blocks together let you control your character (your character is named Baba). But if you push a block that says Door in front of the Is and You blocks you will suddenly control the doors instead of Baba. It’s a really cool concept and the levels get extremely imaginative. And also difficult
Among us and started valley
I love starred valley
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.
Vampire Survivors. It makes my phone catch fire but it is fire
Stardew valley. Such a good game that plays great, especially on tablet.
Lichess and Worldbox
Dead cells, out there omega edition, 20 minutes till dawm, vampire survivors, titan quest, hollow knight, 9th dawm rpg 3, starrows, scourgebringer, undead horde
Hollow Knight is on Android? Wow! I never knew.
I meant the unofficial port. It’s not officially available on android
Still surprised there’s an unofficial port. What an undertaking! Props to them.
Shattered Pixel Dungeon, Endless Sky, and Mindustry (especially that last one, which I haven’t seen anybody else mention yet).
I get all my games from F-Droid, not any commercial app store.
Mindustry is such a gem. It’s cross platform too, You can find it here
Merely a gateway drug to Factorio
I love factorio!
My favorite Android game has always been, and still is, OSMOS. It used to be in the play store. You can still get it on Android from Hemisphere. There’s also iOS, Ipad, Steam (for Linux), OS X and Windows versions. I love this game so much I keep an ancient 7" pad with Marshmallow 6 offline just for it (Because I had the original on it - You don’t need an ancient device).
It’s a good while I don’t hear about Osmos, it’s a fun game.
Mine are bloons td 6, league of legends, and rocket league.
sling kong and smashy city r pretty cool games
