I have clocked a lot of hours in Slice & Dice both on mobile and on PC well worth the 8 bucks even though I’ve paid it three times now I think. Honorable mention to Suika(Watermelon game) about 3 bucks on the Play store.

I have not played it yet personally, but they have the turok trilogy bundle on the switch. I’ve heard those games are good. The serious Sam collection is also available and that’s a lot of fun

You should download Mini Review

It is a currated version of the Play Store with many filters including paid/free, IAP, genres, …

The reviews are very thorough and always include a paragraph about the “presatoriness” of IAP if any

Star command, anomaly, world of goo, EDGE, knight of pen and paper…

These are some good ones I got from humble bundle over the years but many are quite dated so not sure if they’re still around. No BS microtranactions

Hugh_Jeggs,

World of Goo!

I was trying to remember that when I saw the question

I don’t like mobile gaming but oh my god that’s such a well designed game

Delusional,

Apparently a sequel for World of Goo is coming.

DragonTypeWyvern,

Knight of Pen and Paper 2 collects data on mobile. Idk about 1.

cyberpunk007,

Never played 2. I got it on humble bundle aeons ago

Royal Match and Royal Kingdom are both add free and free to play. You can buy stuff, but you dont need to

I used to play Unblock Me. Made it maybe 1000 levels in various difficulties before stopping.

A Dance of Fire and Ice is an incredible rhythm game that you buy once and that’s it. I think there’s an expansion pack but it’s a single purchase. Whether that’s your idea of “casual” really depends on what you like. You can always play chill low difficulty levels when you need to zone out, and high difficulty levels when you want a challenge. It can get stupidly hard.

You can try a demo online at that link. It told me webgl wasn’t supported on mobile, but it worked pretty well for me just now on firefox, even if it was a bit laggy. It should work fine on PC.

I pirated it on PC after my kids told me about it and ended up buying it three times on Steam and twice on mobile. It’s just that good. I’ve built a custom digital drum to play it and I’m now making a custom MIDI controller, so we’ll see if that does better when connected to the game.

The game works as well on mobile, if not better because the touchscreen is so responsive.

Play all the fallout games. V.A.T.S. doesn’t care if you suck at aiming.

Only half joking. I played all but the 1, 2, and Tactics on steam deck and it worked out decently. Didn’t even bother using the touchpad aiming because it felt worse to me than the analog stick.

For those who haven’t played the series, VATS is an alternate aiming mode where one can pause (or in later games in the 3d series, greatly slow) the game, select a certain number of targets depending upon available action points, and then have all those shots taken in rapid succession, with the game aiming.

I’d say that VATS is kind of a “path” than a purely alternate input method in those games; you need to make a VATS-oriented build, though it’s true that it makes it possible to play the game with minimal FPS elements. Like, in Fallout: New Vegas, VATS provides major benefits close-up. While VATS is active, there’s enormous damage reduction applied to your character, IIRC 90%, so for short periods of time, they have enormous damage output and little risk. They can also turn rapidly and target multiple enemies, probably better than a player manually-playing could. At close ranges, VATS is just superior.

But VATS suffers severe accuracy penalties at range. Whether-or-not a target is moving doesn’t affect VATS accuracy, but range does a lot, whereas with manual aiming, whether-or-not a target is moving makes a big difference and range doesn’t matter much. As a result, VATS isn’t great for sniping, which is also an aspect of the game. You can do it (especially, oddly-enough, with pistols, in Fallout 4, where the Concentrated Fire perk lets later shots in a flurry of pistol shots at range be very accurate.

In Fallout 76, VATS provides such dramatic damage benefits that I’d say that it’s impractical to play a non-VATS build – VATS is required to get damage up to a reasonable level later in the game.

VATS build with Deliverer pistol in FO4 is OP as hell. Almost to the point it’s boring.

Tell me you mean that you have played 1 & 2, just not on the steam deck.

Anything otherwise would be a shame.

I tried the first game years ago and couldn’t click with it. I should try again.

Plants vs Zombies Battle for the Neighborville. You might think I'm kidding, but in terms of how it feels to play it's my favorite shooter on the switch. The people who made that knew what the fuck they were doing.

Really good gyro implementation as well.

TJDetweiler,

It really was weirdly good.

This might not be exactly what you're looking for, but Neon White is one of my favorite games of the last few years, and it's on the Switch. I played on PC, but I haven't seen any complaints about the Switch version.

I don't really know if I'd call if a first person shooter. It's more like a first person platformer and you have to shoot some targets before completing the level. Levels are very, very short, and you'll replay them many times to shave a fraction of a second off of your time.

If you like the older Pokemon games and can get the ROMs on your phone, PokeMMO is really cool. It’s an emulator that turns the first 5 generations of games into an MMO where you can take the same character across each region.

There’s a handful of changes to the base game, but most are small: Berry farming is changed, there’s an Exp Share for EVs now, Sweet Scent is used to summon a 1v5 against wild Pokemon… There’s character customization… There’s some QoL stuff like shiny encounters having a sound effect and adding a confirmation box so you don’t accidentally flee, and the stats page for your Pokemon is way more detailed.

Telorand, do gaming w Anyone know any good shooters for switch?

Warframe? Third-person, but shooting is still a fundamental element (in addition to powers and melee).

Has one of the best F2P models out there, and runs on potatoes.

sleepybisexual,

Didn’t know that was on switch. Will download as its f2p

Telorand,

I don’t play anymore, but I sank over 1500hrs into it. They’ve had several content updates since then, too, so there should be plenty to keep you busy.

Word of advice for starting: focus on opening up every planet in your star chart. After that, you should have access to every mission and event.
