(10)
"I also recommend Alto’s Odyssey and Alto’s Adventure. Great chill zen games about riding a snowboard down a mountain or sand dunes."
"I will recommend only Stardew Valley."
"Starred Valley is outstanding."
"Stardew valley, Minecraft, terraria."
"There are some good games out there, but the only one that comes to mind is Stardew Valley. It’s pretty good for relieving stress."
"Stardew Valley 👨🌾"

"I've spent 40 hours on Slay the Spire on my phone, so yeah"
"I haven’t played these yet, but they’re pretty famous and well-regarded: Octopath Traveler, Dead Cells, Slay the Spire, and Terraria."

"Baba is You, Slay the Spire, Symphony of the Night and Stardew Valley are all on mobile and are pretty accredited games on other platforms anyways."
"Slay the Spire."
"You should check out slay. It’s an old school strategy game, it might cost just a few bucks but it has a ton of maps."
#3
Balatro
4.6
(8)
"Besides Balatro and Slay the Spire, my phones game folder contains Slice & Dice and Peglin. Those four games are enough to keep me entertained almost indefinitely."
"Balatro is dope. I got it on PS5."
"Others have mentioned Balatro and until EVERYONE mentions Balatro I'll give it another shout-out."
"Balatro. See if any older games like xcom have ports for iPhone (they do for Android) that ones turn based but I think they had a few that weren't."
"Balatro is stunningly compelling. It’s a one time ten dollar purchase and has become my go-to for when I have time to kill"
"Balatro- technically turn based"
"Balatro!"
"Balatro is free if you have an apple arcade trial waiting to be used (otherwise $10), and works really well on the subway since you can stop looking at it any time and it’s fully offline."

Hades
4.7
(3)
"Hades is such an incredible timesuck. The story is fantastic, the characters and art are amazing, and the gameplay is repetitive enough to allow you to get really good at it but variable enough not to be boring."
"I believe Hades is included if you have Netflix and get it through there! It’s not a “traditional” cozy game but I and a few others I’ve seen comment on this sub can definitely vouch for it! I personally find it pretty relaxing and the story and art are incredible!"
