Chocolate Factory Simulator is not without its faults, but if you are curious about the chocolate-making process and love simulator games, you should take a look.
The Roottrees are Dead is a great puzzle game and a great detective point-and-click game. There is a lot of reading to do, a lot of lore, and deductions to be made. The visuals and world-building are great. The soundtrack is excellent. The only thing left to say is that I hope there’s a sequel soon, or at the very least, another game from the developer in the same style. If you love detective games, you should definitely check out The Roottrees are Dead.
TetriMatch is a nice little Tetris game. It took me less than 20 minutes to complete all the achievements, but afterwards, we still have leaderboards if that motivates you. If you like Tetris, you’ll probably like TetriMatch as well.
In Reviver, we follow the life stories of two main characters and shape their destinies through our choices. The game’s combination of hand-drawn style and immersive interactive experience creates a profound journey of love and choice. It’s a great little game, and I can’t wait to see what the developers will come up with next.
Tidy Backpack, with its whimsical soundtrack, cute artwork, and relaxing gameplay, makes for a nice surprise in between more intense fantasy gaming sessions or everyday work. It’s a nice puzzle game, perfectly balanced between cozy and challenging, and if you like puzzle games, you’ll probably love it as much as I did.
Mizi NO! is a fun and relaxing game about putting things together. The levels are easy enough to let you relax for a few minutes. And it has cats! Really, what’s not to like?
Jewel Match Solitaire Winterscapes 3 – Collector’s Edition is the first game I’ve played in this series, but after I finish it, I will be checking the rest of them. I love a good solitaire game, and Jewel Match Solitaire Winterscapes 3 – Collector’s Edition checks all the boxes for me – pleasant artwork, gameplay options, varied gameplay, and a nice soundtrack.
While following the same gameplay mechanics in the series, Hidden Cats in Tokyo tries to be a bit different. Mostly, it succeeds and would be a great delight for fans of the hidden cats genre.
Hidden Capybaras with Orange and Pumpkins: Spooky Halloween Edition is a brief but fantastic little game about finding capybaras in a little Halloween town. It has no timers, but a fast-recharging hint, nice soundtrack, and one big scene, full of heart and humor, make the whole game a great relaxing experience. And if that is not enough, it’s a free game. I hope the developers have a new capybara game in the works, for I can’t wait for the next one.
Much like the previous games in the series, Hidden Cats: Thief is a short and sweet hidden object game. If you need something concise, this might be the game for you.
Hidden Capybaras with Orange in the Whimsical Library is a brief but fantastic little game about finding capybaras and owls in a magical library. It has no timers, and that, combined with the other elements of the gameplay, such as a fast recharging hint, nice soundtrack, and beautiful soundtrack, as well as several scenes, makes the whole game a great relaxing experience. I hope the developers have a new capybara game in the workings, for I can’t wait for the next one.
Pixel Cross Stitch Color By Number is a nice little game for people who love to color. There are no timers or levels to pass, and the controls are simple and responsive. While it’s by no means groundbreaking, it does what it sets out to do—helping people pass the time by coloring. What’s not to like?
While the picture is fun, it should be noted that the game is actually short. I completed it in less than 15 minutes, along with all the Steam achievements. It was longer than expected because I spent about half of that time looking for one single cat. I firmly believe that games like that need to have a hint button. Much like the previous game in the series, 100 Hidden Cats: Kitty House 2 is a short and sweet hidden object game. If you need something concise, this might be the game for you.
With its colorful visuals, heart-warming story, stress-free gameplay, and snappy controls, Cook For Love is perfect for the upcoming holiday season. Whether or not you’ve played Tell Me Your Story and Amelia’s Garden, you’ll love Cook for Love and might want to try the other two games as well.
I’ve been a fan of the Regency Solitaire games for a while, and Shadowhand Solitaire is a welcomed addition to the series. I’ve also played the original version of the game, with the real-time combat, and while I really liked it, I can see why some people prefer the new Shadowhand Solitaire version. If you like solitaire, you’ll love this one.
Little Big Adventure: Twinsen’s Quest is a fun, somewhat clunky rerun of an old classic. It has its positives and its negatives, but even purely for nostalgia’s sake, I was more than happy to try it out. I was a bit disappointed by the controls and speed of the game, but hopefully, the developers will address that soon.
I’ve been waiting for Loco Motive for quite some time, and I was not disappointed at all. It’s a great game, a welcomed return to classic adventure games, and hopefully, a first in a series.
Amazing Weekend 2: Search and Relax 2 Collector’s Edition is yet another generic hidden object game. While it is nothing groundbreaking or unique, if you like the genre and are in the mood for some stressless fun, this game might be the one for you.
Doodle Harmony Idle Merge was a pleasant surprise for me – usually, I wouldn’t say I like idler clicker games and would have lost interest quite quickly. This game was engaging enough to make me stick until I unlocked all 100 doodle levels, and I imagine I might just go back to it at some point for some relaxing and still fast-paced fun.
If you are a fan of building games, Diorama might be the game for you. It offers us the chance to build and decorate interiors and exteriors in the same cozy pixel style. Honestly, what’s not to like?
