Sonic runners revival!
It's the full original Sonic Runners game that was discontinued by SEGA, but dedicated fans have revived 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!

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.
It's my favorite too! I never get bored because there's always been strategies to explore. Also love that it's offline so I can play anywhere, like a plane
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!
Shattered Pixel Dungeon
I did play Shattered pixel dungeon, then I tried the original pixel dungeon, and now, after finishing echo pixel dungeon, I'm going to try out remixed dungeon, summoning pixel dungeon, and serenity PD. IMO they're all great, it's just that pixel dungeon is the original and the rest are forks (better than knockoffs in the proprietary world)
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.
Genshin Impact is slowly taking over my life. I'm still F2P but I've come close to pulling out my credit card.

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.
I remember the magic I experienced the first time I played RS back in 2007. The game was mind opening. Although I only had a free account, but nevertheless had a blast getting my first Adam and Rune full gear.
How is OSRS for you now? What are you enjoying the most. I wonder if I will get the spark back if I try it or if I'll be overwhelmed of the options of things to do
It's as good as it used to be. I've enjoyed doing quests and fighting bosses. Grinding is slow but tolerable if you have a video or podcast you wanted to watch or listen to. Coming back as an adult is a different experience. You'll find yourself being a bit more directed in how you play and it's easy to optimise the fun out of the game. It's decent on mobile and I have heard of people fighting endgame bosses on their phones.
It is easy to get overwhelmed on p2p. My advice is you set a goal and go for that, or you pick a thing you really want to do and just do that and let the game slowly open up from there.
- 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.
Mindustry is a completely different (and much less frustrating) game on steam, for what it's worth. Mostly due to the fact mouse+keyboard is MUCH more intuitive than touch controls. Also fun fact, as long as you're running the same version, you can port your save game between your phone and your pc.
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.
Play store does not allow me to download it on android 13 :( says it's too new
?? they both work for me on android 13
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!
Phigros, Hill Climb Racing, Patapon on PPSSPP, Piano Tiles 2 (hmu for the original apk), Cytoid Other than that I just doomscroll
Can try Paradise Hotel, if you just want to pass some time. FREE
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paradise.hotel&hl=en
Chess.com and Lichess
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.

'Dots' and 'Two Dots'
Vampire Survivors (don't worry i'm not addicted... I can stop at any time if I want)
Sometimes a break is needed to play something different, like holocure for example, then more vampire survivors
I hope we will see a Holocure mobile version one day. i really like it, and it would be perfect to play on the go or in lunch break like vampire survivor.
I'm a simple man.
- Sudoku
- Mindustry
- Assembly Line
- Godville
- Lichess
currently Dragonvale, because I like collecting things
same with Pokemon Go 💀
Genshin impact, when not killing time here or reading articles elsewhere.
shattered pixel dungeon for a quick waiting room, mindustry for that conveyor crack cocaine of a game
Merge mansion lol
My daughter got me addicted to Cookie Run Kingdom
Frozen Bubble- Dicey Dungeons, awesome game, you can leave whenever you want (not in the middle of combat tho) and it will save. I personally prefer the phone version than the pc one.
- Kingdoms (New Lands, Two Crowns...) pretty chill games, although they can be a little repetitive if you do multiple runs.
- Reventure, really funny game, pretty uknown, but totally worth it.
Honestly, KotoR has been really nice. It never occurred to me that the game would port to mobile so well.
Also two friends of mine made a game called Senpei. They're a disgusting married couple that both work from home out of the same office. One does art; the other is a game dev. The bastards.
I've got Morrowind on my fold3, it's amazing
Vampire Survivors
It's a match three game, where you have to escape a dungeon by running 10000000 miles. Go in, get gold, exp and resources, upgrade and repeat. I've played though at least once everything I upgrade my phone. Just a well made game.
Unciv and Gravity Defied
u n c i v
Oddly enough, two player game. It has some good one player player games built in
