They’re hard to find, but good premium games do exist on Android. Michael Crider

Trying to find a mobile game that won’t hook you with $100 in-game purchases for currency or boosters? If you’re looking for a fun, premium Android game without the BS, check out our selections.

This isn’t an exhaustive list of “The 10 Best Android Games Ever”—we’re not quite that arrogant. There are so many thousands of games on the Play Store, one person can only hope to play a small percentage of them.

But these are games we’ve personally enjoyed that don’t feature the manipulative currency and booster purchases you find in most free-to-play mobile games. We’ve also avoided ported games from consoles or PCs, as they tend to be tough to control on a touch screen.

Without further ado, let’s get to the picks.

“Horizon Chase”

If you long for the simpler age of racing games, when going fast was pretty much all there was to it, Horizon Chase is for you. It’s a simple setup, with a wide selection of tracks and cars based on 80’s and 90’s classics.

The graphics are simple, but appealing, crisp, colorful 3D reinterpretations of classic sprite-based racing games from the 16-bit era. I wish it had a multiplayer option, but for tight, technical racing with a wonderful atmosphere, you can’t beat it! Players get access to a few tracks for free, and at this writing, you can unlock the whole game for $3.

“Alto’s Adventure”

Alto’s Adventure takes the simple setup of an “endless runner” game and nails every aspect of it, from the simple, but enthralling, graphics, to the chill music and super-fluid animation. At first, the game seems basic. But as you expand your repertoire of snowboarding moves and techniques (and get a handle on the sliding physics), you find there’s an amazing variety to the 2D stages.
