Is there a way to filter pay-to-win games? I can pay, but I want to have fun and progress with skill/practice instead of by paying.

Last week I spent 20 minutes on the google app store and at the end almost everything was "free" games with p2w

Try puzzles and dragons. It makes all of its money in IAP but so far I've felt no urge to purchase. Game is largely based on skill as far as I can tell. I'm sure there is a lot of grinding to get through at certain points, but I've been playing regularly for a couple of weeks and haven't run into it on the regular dungeons.
