I'd like to get into android gaming if there is anything good out there. I am open for any genre but I have a few requirements

Has to be either free or have a free way to get it

Has to not be riddled with spyware (hard ask I know lol)

No mandatory accounts

Offline if possible

Preferably controller support out of the box

Is this too much to ask? Any recommendations?

Should I just look at what other old console games I can get?

Free: Geometry Dash. Hill Climb Racing. Cookie Clicker. Minetest. Pojav Launcher. (Paid, but worth it: Stardew Valley)

How's modding support of Stardew Valley on Android these days? Haven't tried it on this platform in a while.

Never tried mods. The base game is enough for me!

There's such a vibrant modding scene, you're missing out on a lot. It's almost like playing a Bethesda RPG without mods. So many quality of life mods and content expansions, chief among them Stardew Valley Expanded, which feels like a professionally made DLC that seamlessly integrates itself into the game, to the point that you often aren't sure whether what you're seeing is from the original game or made by these modders.

Looking around, it might be a bit tricky to install on Android, but people have done it.

I've seen some other people play SDVE, but I haven't even completed the base game yet, so that's for after, if ever.
