I've been playing Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius and Path of Exile. I played FFBE for maybe a year thus far and have spent about $28 on in-game money. With the amount of fun I've had thus far, I think it was worth it. For PoE, I've played on-n-off for a few years now before finally dropping $30 on it for some quality-of-life features. Definitely another game that provided plenty of fun.

Seeing an app listed as free is usually the kiss of death for me. They're either going to spam you with ads, give the game such a massive difficulty curve that you can't win without buying something, or they make it where to have to grind for weeks or months to get stuff without paying. I'd rather pay up front and get the whole game than be nickeled and dimed.

It's hit-or-miss in my opinion. FFBE relies on the gacha system but realistically I feel one can get by well enough without ever spending any money on that game.

The gacha system is bound to screw you over regardless of whether you're F2P or paid for in-game money. I've read enough story of "whales" dropping hundreds for a specific unit and not getting it only for a F2P player getting said units from a free pull. The RNG Goddess won't care how much you spent.

Despite the long upgrading periods, I feel Clash of Clan is another where if you're good enough, you can progress pretty well and the game gives you enough in-game money as well from just playing.

Unless one feels they need the very best units or be top of the ranking ladder, I feel spending money on some of these games just isn't necessary.
