Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions? For example: easy puzzle games, match-3 games, low-difficulty adventure games, or clicker-style games.

So far, the only good examples I've found are Monument Valley, Suika Game, and (sort of) Vampire Survivors.

I'm personally looking for games that have more progression or variety, but any suggestions are welcome.

I liked egg inc for a while, if you're looking for clicker type games.

Other than that I can recommend

Stardew Valley
Peglin
Sudoku
Nanograms
Dungeon Village 1 & 2

Multiple of these are paid, but I'm 100% on board with paying a small amount for an app rather than paying a multiple of that for in-game Battlepasses and whatevers.

It annoys me a lot to say this, but Netflix has some excellent games in their roster. So if you have a Netflix subscription, check those out. I personally very much enjoyed

Storyteller
Into the Breach

But they also have ports of some very good PC games like Spiritfarer, Terra Nil or World of Goo.

Any little casual simulators by Kairosoft, the pay to play "full versions" are pretty cheap. Manage a lil apartment building, manage a tiny sushi restaurant, manage a little Japanese village. 8 bit style, very soothing. The free versions are quite limited in scope and cut you off from further progression after a few levels, but no microtransaction reminders, either. The mention of "Dungeon Village" reminded me, is that Kairosoft?

It is indeed
