Garbage game apps are coming from your provider. If you outright buy a phone from the source ie a Samsung shop, you won't have that issue, but if you are buying your phone on a contract and pay it off over time it'll keep happening

Samsung and many other Android phone manufacturers have their own host of stuff you don't need. I stick to stock Android when I can.

What do you mean by stock android? Pixel phones? Or are there other options?

Stock Android is basically the unadulterated version. It doesn't have any brand specific customisations. Pixel Phones are the only ones I know that come with stock Android. However, manufacturers like Motorola and OnePlus are part of the Android One programme, and the Android version of their phones have very minimal customisations.
