Correct!

Some other recent PC ports are Balatro, Hitman: Bloodmoney Reprisal, Gordian Quest, Xcom 2, Wreckfest, GRID and GRID Legends, Slice & Dice.

Older PC ports: Baldur’s Gate, Star Wars KOTOR 1 and 2 (they were free on Android Epic Store BTW), Stardew Valley, Slay the Spire, Dicey Dungeons, Dead Cells, Mindustry, and others.

For console ports, there’s lots more, especially from Quare Enix, Capcom

Same! There’s quite a few of those on the Play Store, and they’re porting them at a faster rate nowadays.

For a Poco phone yes, but still way below famous flagships prices with those specs.

You can sideload these games and some of them will still work. I know I played Ridiculous Fishing a couple months ago on my S23+ with Android 14. It had few glitches, but it was perfectly playable and enjoyable.

What I’m sure you can’t play is Chaos Rings 1 and 2, and it’s an absolute disgrace. I’ve even tried with VM and PPSSPP (as they were released on PSP too), but no luck. Only way is PC probably.

Thankfully, Chaos Rings 3 is still up on the Play Store and compatible. It is a masterpiece with an absurdly beautiful OST and excellent story. If you like JRPGs and you haven’t played it, I urge you to do so before it’s too late.

What is a “quit button”?

Not sure if that’s sarcastic, but it’s a button you tap so the browser will quit/close/exit. Most browsers (including FF and its forks) have it, and it can be configured so that it clears personal browsing data (such as history, tabs, cookies, cache) upon quitting the session.

There’s a single transaction to remove ads. So on the Play Store it will show with “contains ads and in-app purchases”. It might be debatable, but I personally consider these type of games same as “premium paid”, because to have the best experience without ads you need to pay once.

I’ll fix it with better wording.

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

You’re welcome :)

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 OpenTyrian is obsolete, unfortunately.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

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?

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

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”.

Hey, thank you for this great list!

You’re welcome :)

Do you think you could maybe add a small description for every game?

Sorry, I won’t do that. I think it’s easy enough to click on the links and check all the info on the Store, with pictures and description. Furthermore, I did not play all these games as they’re user recommendations, so it’d be too much work for little benefit.

Should be fixed now. Let me know if I forgot something!

They both always looked the same for me, but once I tried on Obsidian I could see the difference! I think it depends on what app the formatting is displayed on. Thanks, I’m gonna fix all headers

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll check.

Edit: fixed them

First of all, thanks for your observations and suggestions. I love to be precise with my posts and learning more about markdown formatting.

Headers require a space after the number signs

A question about this: does it change the way it actually looks? I’ll fix it, but I’d love to know if there’s a practical difference in using space vs no space?

I think “Introduction” and “Entry Criteria” should both be headers as well

You’re probably right, as general rules go, but the reason why headers in my list are formatted this way is because I wanted to draw attention to the actual list and genres, rather than to the introduction/criteria. As I’m expecting most users to browse this list when they wanna checkout some games.

Each of your genre headers should get three number signs, since those are all headers that fall within the “THE LIST” section

I’ve actually tried that recently, but didn’t like the way it looked. I think something was off with the spacing between genre headers and first line when using three hashtags. Might give it another try soon.

Yes, thanks. I removed the 100% in the title. That was to distinguish the games in this list from the “free-to-play” games, which are free to download but then have predatory monetization through microtransactions, or ads.

Personally, I can see the difference between saying “free” and “FOSS” so I thought it should be alright. But thanks for the feedback!

I might start listing real FOS games recommended by the users, but I’m not sure whether I should add a dedicated section within this list, or build a new list from scratch for FOS games alone.

Thanks for the suggestion. I can’t really say that because, as mentioned in my post, I haven’t played all those games. This is a list of games recommended by the users that I simply put together for everyone to easily browse.

I changed the title a bit and I’ll see if I can further improve it! Cheers!
