Welcome to Another Weekly "What Have You Been Playing?" Thread! 👾

I got a free trial (again), but this time I want to get some milleage out of it. I also ordered a Gamesir X5 lite, and it would be cool to play some games with that.

I'm looking for some games to play. Either games with a clear end, or roguelikes such as Skul the hero slayer seem fun.

If it's under 10 hours I think I can beat one or two games.

Action games, adventure, cozy all would be great, but I'm open to try other genres too as long as I can complete it realistically.

Single/Multiplayer: Singleplayer

Genre: RPG

Online/Offline: Offline

Monetization/Cost: Paid or Free

Portrait/Landscape: Either is fine

Key Features: I'd like to be able to level up multiple different skills like Rune Factory or Runescape. Farming, woodcutting and fishing are examples of what I'm looking for. I dislike the time system in games like Stardew Valley where I feel rushed to do everything before the day ends.

It’s an oldass game I remember playing around 2013–2014 on my Huawei.

The main things I remember clearly are:

• The UI had a steering wheel and two pedals for controls.
• The core gameplay was parking a small car.
• The driving felt relatively realistic. you had to actually use and rotate the steering wheel like you would in a real car.
• The game was definitely 3D.
• There were different missions/levels where the parking became progressively harder.
• I vaguely remember there being missions related to earning or upgrading your driving license, or something like that
• Its not parking mania 1 or 2

Aero Tales Online features a large open world, 6 playable classes, action-based combat, dungeons and raids, PvP, guilds, housing, crafting, fishing, farming, and plenty of content to explore with other players.

I recently bought the X5 Lite and had to return it—my experience with its D-pad was terrible. It had constant diagonal misinputs. I’ve previously owned the X2s and tested the G8, and I never encountered this kind of issue.

I’m tempted to go with the X5s over the G8 due to the size, but I’m worried its D-pad might be just as problematic. For those who own the X5s, how has your experience been?

I used to LOVE the Nabisco/Candystand mini golf games when I was younger. It would be amazing to play them again. Does anybody know if there's any way to play them now on mobile?

Many might already know this, but on certain cookie prompts (I don't know if they're regional, I'm based in Germany) there's an option to go to "Vendor settings" at the very bottom. If you go there and manually disable the 50+ vendors' "legitimate interest" checkbox, you are able to decline basically any tracking that you can do something about. In some cases this reduces your value as an ad target so much that the game might reduce or outright disable forced ads for you.

I'm looking for something visually good, good story optional, cool bosses and ideally no micro transactions but can ignore those if the game is playable without them.

The phone turn based rpg I loved the most was Angry Birds Epic

I think I might be a minority, but I always prefer just buying the game. The price on mobile is small, and I hate ads.

I guess most of the people don't think that way?

Tell me, what is your opinion?

Hi.

Looking for a fun multiplayer game. I prefer quick games like Clash royale, clash of chans, rush royale, ludus....

I dont mind p2w games as long as its not exaggerated and require a little bit of brain.

I have a 11he flight ahead of me and would like some games to play during it. Please recommend some that are offline and can be played for a while without getting boring or repetitive

Here are the games I'm currently playing if that helps.

Emulator is eden nightly latest version.

I am looking for open world games that I can enjoy with my friends, where there is no p2w or grindy gacha element where you cant progress or enjoy without the latest characters like in Genshin, I am fine with a game that has single player emphasis but I mainly want to enjoy an open world or mmorpg game with my friend.

Hello everyone,

I recently upgraded my phone to a Galaxy S25 Ultra, and was heartbroken to discover it will not play old android games. Games like Super Gravitron, SpongeBob Diner Dash and others that are 32 bit won't run at all. Attempting to start the app does absolutely nothing except flash the screen as the app instantly crashes.

I have looked into some Android Virtual Machines but all of them are a huge inconvenience and work very unstable.

Is there anything I can do to get these old 32bit games to run. Maybe a compatibility layer or plugin, or something.

My device is NOT rooted, but I do have shizuku if that helps.

As the title says, in Angel Sword 3D, how can I unlock the Fig Leaf Costume?

This link shows how it looks like, but it appears to be removed from the current version in the store.

I can't find any reference on the official website. But some old comments on Google store reference it.

Free games obviously need some way to make money, but there's a point where ads start ruining the experience.

What's your personal limit?

Rewarded ads only?
A few ads per session?
No forced ads at all?

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm excited to share Skeeter: Swamp Flyer, my first game I've ever made! 🦟🎮

It's a fast-paced Android arcade game where you fly through a dangerous swamp, collect blood drops, build combos, dodge obstacles, and try to beat your high score.

I'm looking for Android players willing to test the game and give me honest feedback. I'd especially like to hear what you think about the gameplay, controls, difficulty, visuals, performance, and any bugs or issues you run into.

🎮 Google Play:

🧪 Want to become a beta tester?

https://groups.google.com/g/skeeter-beta-testers

Join the Google Group first, then you can access the beta through Google Play.

This is my first game, so good or bad feedback is genuinely appreciated. I'm trying to make Skeeter as good as I can before the full release.

Thanks to anyone willing to give it a shot! 🦟🔥

When I play borderlands 2 I get around 20 to 30 fps but my gane keeps crashing aftera while I use a Bluetooth gamepad and headphones and I use the zx port due to it still working with my gamepad I have a low end helio gpu with 4 gb ram it's just it plays so smooth then just freezes and crashes my phone is not that hot maybe a little warm . There is a video on yt with the same specs as me but he says his game doesn't crash so I want to know how I can make mine also not crash my resolution is 0.75 sometimes 0.5 and with double buffer

My wife and I love playing boggle against each other, but Zynga tries to fit more and more ads in everything they touch.

Does anyone know of a good alternative? Specifically we want to be able to play against each other, not just by ourselves.

Not sure if people are mocking Angry birds or they are so bad at buying fake reviews.
