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.

I'm seconding Simon Tatham's puzzle collection, Nonograms Katana, and Stardew Valley, all of which are in regular rotation and fill different niches in my soul.

Came here to say Simon Tatham's puzzles.

I also like, from f-droid, Tower Jumper, and from Play, hillclimb racing.

seen much praise of mindustry here on Lemmy, but not got into it myself
rabbit escape is like lemmings/pingus
I like go, but play casual. CrazyStone on Play works well for me. It's doing something with the internet on startup, probably benign model updates, but I block its internet access.
I also remember Doom and Destiny being very fun and fairly casual. The free version is not too bad on ads. The second one I never got far in - felt like it was constant ads interrupting gameplay
