Best single player Android games?

Looking for good games for Android. By good, I mean a game with a story, no ads or in-app purchases. I'm okay with paying for it, but I'm looking for a good experience. The game should be story-based, as in it has an ending, not an infinite game. Any recommendations?

Peglin. Peglin all the way. Nevermind, you want something with story.

Wayward Souls. Nice top-down roguelike with excellent controls and a bit of story you reveal as you explore the dungeons.

If you have an older version of android, newer version won't let you download it

Ah. I have the APK from a Humble Bundle a few years ago. Still works fine on my Galaxy S22 which is using the latest Android version. Looks like it's just the Google Play store being a bit picky. But if you can find the APK it's an awesome game.

Knights of The Old Republic 2 is an absolutely top tier old school RPG. Not sure if the port is good, but it exists.

Data Wing has a wonderful, well tought-out story.

Polytopia. It isn't a story driven game, but each game has an ending. There are no ads. The game is free. You can choose to unlock a few different species for $1 each if you want to, but it's not required for gameplay and those species remained locked until you unlock them (meaning you're not at a disadvantage by not having them). It's an amazing game if you enjoy turn based strategy games like Civilization.

If you have Netflix, the people who made Alto's Adventure made a gliding game called Laya's Horizon: https://layashorizon.com/ that's free with a Netflix account.

Roller Coaster Tycoon classic.

Unless they decide to remove it from the play store, reupload, and require you to purchase it again in order to play it.

Fuck atari.

Slice & dice. You can get it on itch.io and download to PC and mobile. It's like 7 bucks and Ive put in dozens of hours already.

No story, but I just found knotwords and it's pretty good.

Ticket to Ride is fun to play on mobile with CPUs or with Friends. One time purchase per game board.

Doors games are fun puzzle games. IAP to unlock levels

Knotwords is a fun wordle/crossword puzzle type game. Subscription or one time purchase.

Night of the Full Moon. Slay the Spire esque game with multiple IAPs to unlock new characters/ Remove ADS(Which I would recommend) but you can try for free.

Rebuild 3: Gangs of Deadsville, I was addicted to it until I finish it.

If you want something short and sweet, Monument Valley 1 + 2 are both gorgeous and fun. I also had a lot of fun with Sword and Sworcery
