Hey! I hope so too, but I'm sure Reddit itself will do most of the legwork for us haha! They're going the way of the Xitter.

And BTW thank you for reminding me Lemmy existed and I should have gotten on it long ago!

Ye I'm all for one-time paid games! I'll drop my premium games list here tomorrow

Thanks! OpenTyrian is obsolete, unfortunately. I will add OpenTTD.

I think it's paid on the Play Store and called Achikaps Pro?

Thanks! Would this be helpful for cross-posting to that community? My goal is to have a post showing in these 2 communities, and when I update the original one in this instance, the update will automatically carry on to the community in the other instance.

I tried cross-posting using a function in the Summit app, but the updates don't carry on... Do you know how I could achieve this?

Excellent recommendation! I'll add it to the list, thank you.

Yup! It's there in the list and a great collection :)

I changed them to the ! links - see if that works

They do work now!

While I enjoy emulation, it is kinda OT for this list.

Also, is it me or the two links in your comment are broken? It seems like they both miss an "h" in "https".

Thanks for the recommendation, but it clearly doesn't match the entry criteria. This list is for people who abhor seeing ads and microtransactions of any kind.

This game, which I'm sure is great, should be part of another category of games: those with bearable ads/IAPs. I've been thinking about compiling such list, but it'd be extremely tricky and time consuming to discern what's fair from what's annoying or predatory.

Introduction

(scroll down for the actual list)

I recently realized there are still, to this day, some actual "hidden gems" in the Play Store. Not the fake ones everyone talks about which, in a way or another, often have a catch or aren't very "hidden". I mean free games with no ads or IAPs of any kind that are fun to play.

So I was thinking maybe it's time to compile a list of them. Please suggest the ones you've found and enjoyed!

I won't try them all as I did with my premium games list [will update with link as soon as I post it], because this time you could simply download and try them for yourself without spending a dime. I'll simply list them.

‼️Also, please do checkout MiniReview - Game Reviews for more free games that match the following criteria (use the "Browse" tab and select the correct filters). The same app for iOS - App Store - is here.‼️

 

Entry Criteria

  • FREE
  • NO ADS
  • STRICTLY NO IAPs (except donation buttons, but I'll have to check before adding the game to the list, so no guarantees it'll be added quickly)
  • it has to be a legit game, of course. Full, not demo.
  • it has to be available on the Play Store and compatible with the latest, official Android version at the time of writing/updating (14)
  • possibly include a link to the game on the Play Store

I've saved this post so to keep it updated over time, for my own reference and for your benefit. So feel free to save it and check out new entries every so often.

 

THE LIST

 

Legend

☕️ - includes a fair donation button, with or without minimal cosmetics only

~~[Game title]~~ - removed from Play Store

 

Shooters

 

Stealth

 

Platform

 

Rhythm

 

Arcade

 

RPG

 

Roguelike dungeon crawlers

 

Deck builders

 

Adventure

 

Puzzle

 

Strategy

 

Racing

 

Simulation

 

Casual

 

Sport/Competition

 

Visual novel

 

Happy gaming ;)

ps: please let me know if there's any wrong information about the games included in this list (especially regarding the ones with free donations) so that I'll fix the post, if necessary.
