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.

MODERATORS
- Shattered Pixel Dungeon: Fun, compact, traditional NetHack-esque roguelike
- Slice & Dice: Really cool dice-based risk-reward turn-based combat game
In addition to being good games, neither has any microtransactions, ads, or any of that BS, was happy to give the devs some money.
... RetroArch.
Do you use any sort of controller, or just use the on screen buttons?

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

For me, it's using emulation. I'm currently playing Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door from the GameCube, and there are very few android games that can match the quality of older AAA titles.
Plus, no microtransactions!
Stardew valley. Such a good game that plays great, especially on tablet.
I usually play on and off. My wife saw me playing and got it, now she's addicted. Our son saw that I had it on the switch too and started to play it this weekend. Now they are Stardew crackheads.

Vampire Survivors. It makes my phone catch fire but it is fire
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.
Mine are bloons td 6, league of legends, and rocket league.
Open Sudoku and Endless Sky. ES saves the game as a text file. If you play it on PC and save a file the last line of the text file is the only difference. You can play the game on both and save back and forth. I only have FOSS apps. I don't have any google stuff at all. Both of these are from F-Droid.

Bloons TD 6. Only game I've had installed for years, the pop pop pop makes my brain happy in a way I can't explain.
Exactly its a mix of everything its a great TD , with nice graphics and the sounds are simple yet so worth it.
And you pay once and that's it! It's got frequent updates, and I've never felt pressured to spend in their store. Was actually happy to buy some heroes after a while, considering how much mileage I've gotten out of it.
Yes exactly , Monetization seems to be done good its "optional" there but isnt needed at all. you actually get tons for free.
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).

Vampire Survivor. I love games that i can play offline.
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).
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.
John gba lite with pokemon unbound rom.
Slay the spire and Downwell (PC ports I guess), it's amazing how much the quality of mobile games is for games that are more than one dollar.
Lichess and Worldbox
- Lichess - Parce que les échecs c'est trop bien
- Mindustry - Parce que le jeux est ultra bien fait et que la gestion de ressources c'est cool et reposant
- Slice & Dice - J'aime bien le fait que le jeux utilise les dés pour les attaques et la façon dont les personnages s'améliore
Translated: Lichess - Because chess is so good Mindustry - Because the game is very well done and resource management is cool and relaxing Slice & Dice - I like how the game uses dice for attacks and how the characters improve
Among us and started valley
I love starred valley
Been really enjoying Night of the Full Moon. Slay the Spire like but the opponents have decks and play like players. It's free to play with expansions and an ad free experience you can pay for. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ztgame.yyzy
Hill Climb Racing 2. I don't really play much on my smartphone.
Marvel Snap is cool. You can have a fun time paying 0
Came here to say this. Not only can you have fun F2P, the games are quick, so you can play one in a few minutes.

Melvor! Favorite idle game that has kept my attention for months (I usually lose interest in games in a few weeks).
The video on the app mentions fiendish complexity below the surface. Is that real? How can an idle game have any complexity at all?
