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

brotato and vampire survivors
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!
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.
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.
how is baldur's gate on a touch screen?
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.
Star Wars KOTOR and just started Elder Scrolls Morrowind via OpenMW. And if I don’t have much time I play PokeMMO
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!
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)
Vampire Survivors!
currently Dragonvale, because I like collecting things
same with Pokemon Go 💀
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.
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.
I think half of my Lemmy posts are talking about SAP. It's such a good autobattler. Just boiled the genre down to the key components
Downloaded! I've never heard of it.
Can try Paradise Hotel, if you just want to pass some time. FREE

Chess.com and Lichess
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
Merge mansion lol
Sudoku. Quick and easy to drop in and out of.
Since Sudoku was so popular few years back, I've play on a regular basis. Is not trending anymore but continues to be my go-to game to spare some time and keep my mind sharpen (I'm in the 60s group)
I love hue and I love hue too Tsuki adventure 2 and Tsuki odyssey MonopolyGo Wild Rift And I'm switching between some idle tycoon games.
'Dots' and 'Two Dots'
Genshin impact, when not killing time here or reading articles elsewhere.
Slay the Spire
Really Bad Chess
Ticket to Ride
Nonograms Katana
Atomas
One More Brick
Space cadet pinball is the only game
My go-tos at the moment are:
Other games I've enjoyed
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
I'm a simple man.
