Best-of lists
If you want to avoid ads, start with Roblox, Toca Boca World or Mystery Town. Those three are the only ones in this group without them, though all three still sell in-app purchases, so check the store page before you let anyone spend.
Install counts tell you how large a community is, not how well a game suits you. BitLife rewards short sessions of text choices. Toca Boca World and Dopples World suit open-ended building and role play. Roblox version numbers differ by device, so the exact build on your phone may not match another one.
