It’s not easy finding good game, harder for young kid :

  • Andor’s trail
  • Room
  • Mindustry
  • Mindtest, control may not be good
  • Milo milo, can’t recall its name but its a puzzle
  • Dragon quest
  • Broken age
  • Machinarium (and all anamita game)
sylverstream,

Thanks, will look them up!

Play pass is really good for games but my kids still constantly want shitty ad filled ones tbh.

Setting up adguard DNS worked really well but it can break games if they’re dependent on ads. Which isn’t a bad thing in my opinion.

sylverstream,

Yeah agreed, my kids have accepted that stuff doesn’t work if they rely on ads, and they are fine with it (after some initial batyles).

This guy (Nimble Thor) developed an app called Mini Review, I’ve used it frequently.

Check him out on YT as well.

sylverstream,

That’s cool. Downloaded! Thanks.

This is probably not a terribly helpful answer, but on the iOS side, there is Apple Arcade, which is a huge library of “free” (aka included with the subscription) games that don’t have any ads or microtransactions. If there’s an Android equivalent, just give her that as her app store. You’d spend a set amount per month and keep her away from the predatory business models.

korewa,

Exactly where I landed after giving them a fire tablet.

sylverstream,

Fire tablet is Android, right? Or am I mistaken.

korewa,

Yes I have that Amazon subscription think for kids apps it’s mostly junk games

SmoochyPit,

It is, but by default it’s locked to Amazon’s App Store. With this tool, a computer and a few minutes, you can sideload Google play and Google services. It also has lots of other customization options, like installing different launchers. I’d imagine that “Google Play Pass” would work then.

sylverstream,

I guess Play Pass for Android is similar. Thanks.

ranandtoldthat,

Play pass is surprisingly not terrible.

sylverstream,

Yeah just subscribed, so far pretty good. It’s annoying you can’t see easily what non games are included (like Tasker)

Usually, I find ports of PC Games best. I don’t know if they are suited for 9 year olds, but broken sword, baba is you or papers please are really good on mobile devices. Point and click in general is a very portable genre for mobiles.

I think the category you’re looking for is premium games. On mobile it appears to mean that the game is complete and not sold in pieces.

There’s an app called mini review that has reviews for games you can browse through there but not sure if there is a kids section but it’s helpful to filter out as heavy games.

I’ll never forget my friends kid being upset on our camping trip while we waited in the car in a store run saying how he has no wifi out there so he can’t watch his ads for coins

Hades,

This is also great because you can filter out games with ads and microtransactions. See minireview.io/browse?monetization-android=no-ads+…

Tbh I gave up on mobile gaming about 8 years ago. Got so tired of sifting through the crud looking for gems.

amanneedsamaid,

I agree, open source games are designed with fun in mind instead of attention grabbing garbage and ads.

sylverstream,

Thanks, that’s a good idea!

Urban Dead was fun back when I played it. Used to be on the forums a lot and organize curing centres or safe zones.

Dominate Game. Great online risk game with elo system. You could play the default maps in the browser but thier client let you play tons of customer player made maps. Sadly this one got taken down a long time ago, is has a spiritual successor as Dominate 12.

Supremacy 1914. Only played 2 matches of this game, but do to its nature it was over the course of 6 months or so. I believe they have a download client now and the game is also on Steam now.

mindbleach,

Barhah!
