Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions? For example: easy puzzle games, match-3 games, low-difficulty adventure games, or clicker-style games.

So far, the only good examples I've found are Monument Valley, Suika Game, and (sort of) Vampire Survivors.

I'm personally looking for games that have more progression or variety, but any suggestions are welcome.

Stardew valley stressed me out so much I stopped playing before even reaching that first year party. It looks like a casual fun game, but there are so many characters to make friends (even if it's optional, it's stressful because of the implication/expectation). And you need to tend to your garden, and even if you don't do anything, midnight rolls around and you feel like you didn't do anything useful and it's overall very stressful to me. May be it gets easier once you get sprinklers and whatnot, but early game was anything but casual and fun for me.

I completely understand. It was very overwhelming for me at first and sometimes can still be overwhelming depending on how my computer is working lol

If you ever decide you want to try it again I highly recommend modding it (and I would be happy to send you what I use). That said it's not a bad thing to play other games if you like them better :) games should be fun not stressful imo

Edit: removed the extra "my"

Sure, please let me know what mods you use

I like "Traveler's Rest" because the game doesn't force you to keep regular hours at your tavern. If you want, you can spend the whole day crafting and restocking until you're ready to deal with customers again.
