- Any Playdigious games is good.
- Any Kairosoft games.
- ICEY is such an underrated game. The narration and it's wit is so good.
- Levelhead if you want platformer and want Super Mario Maker on your phone.

Shattered pixel dungeon if you like roguelikes; it's on the play store and fdroid
My goto for offline gaming is usually emulation, typically pokemon. But I can also recommend the Bart Bonte puzzle games, Vampire Survivor and Shattered Pixel Dungeon.
+1 for emulation, especially games you never got a chance to play before when they were new
Fire emblem and advance wars are also great picks!
Slay the Spire is a heavy recommendation from me, though it does have online sync it works nicely offline.
I just bought it. The only problem is, that the font is relatively small.

Almost every paid Kairosoft games?
Cannot agree with this enough. Kairosoft games SLAP yo.

Yioto is a great indie dev with lots of gems, but if particularly recommend Antiyoy.
I'd also recommend Battle for Polytopia.
I'm fairly certain both these turn based strategy games will work fine offline.
Unciv is a decent Civilization clone. And it's open source.
DATA WING, is a great game! Really well made, easy to pick up for a few miniuits and really well scripted!

Troll Patrol. The base game is with ads but can be upgraded cheaply to a pro version with no ads. It's an excellent match-3 rogue-lite RPG. I was playing it for the last two months. Similar to You must build a boat, for example. The developer also closed his subreddit because of recent API changes. He's a good guy, You can show him some love and buy his game.
Slay the Spire is a heavy recommendation from me, though it does have online sync I'm pretty sure it works offline...
Shattered pixel dungeon
Supertuxkart
Terraria
Peglin! It's an amazing peggle style rouge-lite
Star Traders: Frontiers. Be a space trucker/pirate/merc. Singleplayer offline space turn-based RPG Pay once only but frequent free updates. No bullshit P2W, gacha, timers etc etc.
Bonus: kill xenos scum, customize your ship load out, satisfying crew combat.
Cons: annoying RNG card minigame for spying, blockading, salvaging. Enemies esp. xenos can get very unforgiving on high difficulty setting.
My go-to for like 5 years has been StudyGE. It's just a Geography game, but for the rare ocassions where I have nothing else to do and I don't have Internet in my phone I go to it.
There's also the trivia game Dilemo, though that is in Spanish and I think it might have some ads, it's just that it serves them so infrequently that I'm not even sure if I hallucinated them. Like I think it only serves ads when you have been playing it for long-ass sessions, and I usually only play for a few minutes, so.
There is a Cultist Simulator there. I don't know about Android port much, but it's a good game on PC
The Room is a fantastic series of lovely 3D puzzle box and room games! I really enjoy them :3
If you like managing games, like manage a fantasy town, or manage a gaming development software house, or an airport, or a restaurant, or a SPA, then I'd suggest Kairosoft. Their games are the last bastion of old school pixel graphics offline games with no DLC whatsoever.

Templar Battleforce.
The Bonfire: Forsaken Lands

This is one of the few (not including humble bundles from may moons ago) non-free to play games I have. Great game.
SuperTuxKart I guess? It lets you to play offline, although online mode and add-ons are required internet connection.
Rusted Warfare is a great RTS. It has offline and online server hosting (never seen that on mobile before). It feels like I'm playing an RTS on GameRanger.
I've enjoyed ports from PC games and emulation. Emulation is pretty good on android now, and that opens up a LOT of options for offline & no ads
You are absolutely correct! Only downside is it kind of sucks trying to control with onscreen controller. I suppose I'd better learn to share my bluetooth gamepad ;p
This is when Nintendo ds games and searching out games that had only stylus controls comes in handy. Stuff like Kirby Mass Attack or Warioware feel like native games. If you got a Samsung with a Spen then that's a dream combo.
Pokemon is really good to emulate on phones. Very slow games!
If the game does not need online features, then you can make any game "ad free" with an app like "NetGuard". Just block the app from accessing the internet.
Or add 'dns.adguard-dns.com' into Private DNS in your phones settings.
Mindustry and Unciv are my main recommendations. If you like strategy stuff, you'll have a blast.
