Correct!

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

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 and Capcom, but not only! For example the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters (from 1 to 6), Final Fantasy 8, Chrono Trigger, Trials of Mana, Dragon Quest series, Dragon Quest Monsters, Monster Hunter Stories, SaGa series, Valkyrie Profile, Ghost Trick, Ace Attorney, Professor Layton, Castlevania SOTN, Lara Croft Guardian of Light, Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath, etc.

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.

This is, at least for me, the holy grail of videogames relics.

Or, at least, only go with organized tours and a local guide. As long as you don’t steal any propaganda posters, you should survive.

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.

Oh I haven’t tried those two yet. Thanks for the links!

It depends how important the tab bar feature is to you

Well, it’s very handy I’d say, and more effective than tab switcher

Firefox has pretty much every other feature you’ve listed there

To quit in Firefox I have to tap to open a menu, then scroll down twice, then tap “quit”. Samsung Internet let me place the quit button on the main bar so it’s instantaneous. I figure I could do without this as I’m actually not quitting that often

Vivaldi has all of the functionality but isn’t FOSS and is potentially less private. It would still be a lot better than Samsung Internet in those areas, though

Yeah Vivaldi is the closest one to Samsung’s experience. But still tap and scroll for the quit button, and the adblocker (with uBlock and adguard filters) doesn’t seem as effective as those in Samsung Internet.

I might be settling for Fennec eventually, as the uBlock extension is probably better than any feature in Vivaldi. I wish there was a browser that had it all, but none yet!

Thanks. I’ve heard of Peglin, but it’s got kinda mixed reviews on the web. So I’m not too sure about adding it to the list.

Have you played it for some time, and still enjoy it? Some reviewers said it lacks content for a $10 game.

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 full experience without ads you need to pay once.

I’ll fix it with better wording.

That’s great! Hope it can be helpful :)

I will start including FOSS games into this list soon, labeled as such for clarity.

Also, here is my paid games list in case you find it appropriate to pin this one too.

Cheers!

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.

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 :)
