Cricket Through The Ages was a unique experience. I enjoyed my time with it, but I'll probably rarely pick it up again. As soon as you play it once, you'll have your fill.
Make Way is a unique take on the racing genre. However, the controls take time to get used to, and you'll need to grind a lot to unlock the basic features of the game.
Fit My Cat is a great puzzle game that has no pressure. However, the controls can sometimes have their own mind, adding unwelcome frustration.
Spells & Secrets has potential, but the frame rate drops on the Nintendo Switch make it frustrating to play. Otherwise, the controls aren't too bad, but the overall story and characters are lackluster.
Overall, Tales of Mathasia is a cute game and certainly does an excellent job explaining addition and subtraction to a younger audience.
If you enjoy simulation farming games and want to see some adorable dinos, then this game is a solid choice. However, you will need patience, or else you will have short playtime sessions.
If you're a fan of RPGs, then Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles will be up your alley. You'll enjoy the graphics and fun music with simple gameplay mechanics.
Animal Shelter Simulator has a cute premise to care for dogs and cats. The gameplay is fun but can get repetitive. Also, the controls are clunky to start until you get used to them.
Strayed Lights is a beautiful game that tells an abstract yet meaningful story. However, its unique battle system grew repetitive, and some performance issues took some of the fun away.
Drill Deal – Oil Tycoon is an interesting concept for a business simulator. However, the gameplay grows repetitive after a while, and the beginning is difficult to start.
Ace Angler: Fishing Spirits is a fun game, especially if you enjoy collectathons. Many of the games come down to luck, but this title will keep you entertained for a few hours.
Overall, Aquarist is a solid business simulation, but the clunky controls ruined the experience. Playing this game on the PC is probably the way to go.
Both games included fun graphics and pixelated characters. The music was fun, and the voice acting was excellent. However, they needed more variety in the gameplay.
Ooblets is a fun game that will keep you busy for days. But some parts can be overwhelming and feel unbalanced at times.
Gravitar: Recharged is a difficult shooting game with physics-based controls. If you're up for the challenge, this game is one to try.
Swords & Bones is a charming platformer with fun graphics and music. However, the controls are wonky, and there isn't much replay value.
Nira is a delightful survival, crafting game with charming pixel art and relaxing tunes. However, there's quite a learning curve to play, and it may grow old quickly.
Risk System is a fun action arcade game that will keep you busy for a few hours. However, the repetitive gameplay may end your session early.
Trenga Unlimited is a fun puzzle game for a little while. The controls are responsive, but the different modes and puzzles don't add enough diversity to keep the player engaged.
Flowing Lights has smooth controls with great physics mechanics, but the levels become repetitive after a while with little replay value.
