Introduction
(scroll down for the actual list)
I recently realized there are still, to this day, some actual “hidden gems” in the Play Store. Not the fake ones everyone talks about which, in a way or another, often have a catch or aren’t very “hidden”. I mean free games with no ads or IAPs of any kind that are fun to play.
So I was thinking maybe it’s time to compile a list of them. Please suggest the ones you’ve found and enjoyed!
I won’t try them all as I did with my premium games list [will update with link as soon as I post it], because this time you could simply download and try them for yourself without spending a dime. I’ll simply list them.
‼️Also, please do checkout https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=minireview.best.android.games.reviews
.‼️
Entry Criteria
FREE
NO ADS
STRICTLY NO IAPs (except donation buttons, but I’ll have to check before adding the game to the list, so no guarantees it’ll be added quickly)
it has to be a legit game, of course. Full, not demo.
it has to be available on the Play Store and compatible with the latest, official Android version at the time of writing/updating (14)
possibly include a link to the game on the Play Store
I’ve saved this post so to keep it updated over time, for my own reference and for your benefit. So feel free to save it and check out new entries every so often.

Mysterious radio pulses from the Milky Way ‘are unlike anything we knew before’
submitted by https://lemmy.sdf.org/u/StraponStratos
Over the past decade, scientists have detected a puzzling phenomenon: radio pulses coming from within our Milky Way galaxy that would pulse every two hours, like a cosmic heartbeat. The long radio blasts, which lasted between 30 and 90 seconds, appeared to come from the direction of the Ursa Major constellation, where the Big Dipper is located.

submitted by https://lemmy.ca/u/Sunshine
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte appeared Friday by videoconference before judges at the International Criminal Court, days after his arrest in Manila on murder charges linked to the deadly “war on drugs” he oversaw while in office.
The 79-year-old Duterte didn’t show up at the court in The Hague, but appeared on a video screen from the detention center where he is being held, about a mile (1½ kilometers) away.
Trump pardons Tenn. Republican who pleaded guilty to campaign finance scheme
submitted by https://lemmy.world/u/MicroWave
Summary
Donald Trump pardoned former Tennessee state senator Brian Kelsey, who served only two weeks of a 21-month sentence for a campaign finance scheme.
Kelsey illegally funneled state campaign funds into his failed 2016 congressional bid and later tried to withdraw his guilty plea.
He claimed “God used Donald Trump to save me” from a “weaponized Biden DOJ.”
The pardon follows Trump’s decision to weaken the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section.
