Hi, I have a primary school girl who wants her share of gaming on the family android tablet.

While finding open source or commercial (i.e. I’m happy to pay) games with no ads that boys like is doable, I haven’t been able to find the kind of games a girl wants:

  • with cute graphics
  • where you care for dolls or pet
  • no ads or subscriptions, no endless DLCs.

Do you have any recommendations for android games that fit the bill?

Edit: I should have been more clear: I literally typed the description she gave me of the game she wants.

I don’t like gender stereotypes and I am not pushing her towards anything. I’d be perfectly happy for her to play any game she likes, as long as it has no adds or micro transactions.

She can play with puzzles, RPGs, tower defense, sims… She wants cute dolls, and I am looking for a game with cute dolls that does not suck.

    No such thing as “girl games” and “boy games”. Just ones they like and ones they don’t.

      I absolutely agree. I just typed the description she gave me of the game she wants.

        Hah, sorry everyone jumped down your throat on the choice of words. Stardew Valley would be good for anyone old enough to read who would enjoy taking care of their own farm and building a relationship with villagers. I would call the graphics “cute”, but not gratuitously so (which might be preferred). Cooking Mama is another one that has a good reputation on non-mobile platforms, and it looks like they made an Android version. (Haven’t played the Android version, hopefully it’s not full of micro transactions).

        If she has a Switch, I would say Animal Crossing.
