Overall, I think Pilo and the Holobook is a great little game. It’s polished, it’s cute, and it’s pretty chill to play. With a hint system, I think it would be the perfect game for kids and families and everyone who like wholesome, fun games with simple interactions.
Bubumbu is a sweet, perfect little game. I wish it were longer, but I think it’s a great little puzzle game for kids and families to play together. I have almost nothing to complain about; I think this is a fantastic example of smart, fun, and funny kids’ media that has a lot of love and effort poured into every nook and cranny. My hat is off to you, developers!
Overall, while Kombi is kind of a silly name, in my opinion (for those who don’t know, kombi is a word for a van or station wagon, taken from German), it’s a great game. I really like the visuals, the polish of the movements and the sliding, the overall feel of the puzzles, the backgrounds, and the puzzles themselves. This is another win for developer Kouzii in my book. Like Gridlink, I found Kombi really fun and a challenging but simple puzzle game. It took a bit to get a firm grip on how to solve these puzzles, but it got more and more fun as I continued to play. Overall, if you enjoy math puzzles, you’ll probably dig Kombi as much as I did. It’s so hard but easy to pick up and put down when you have a free minute. If I had to compare the two of them, I think I still like Gridlink better, but Kombi is still a great game. And you can’t beat a great game that is also free. So, if you like puzzle games with numbers, you should give this fun little puzzle game called Kombi a try.
I loved my time with Potion Shop Simulator, and I think I’ll be playing a lot more of it. I’ve put about 20 hours in, and I’m not done, though I have unlocked most of the items I can buy to expand my store and make it more efficient at this point. I don’t think that will stop me from wanting to complete all the quests and see what the story is leading to. I’m glad I got to play this interesting, fun, and very cute little game. I think the devs could make a lot of improvements, but overall, it’s an enjoyable time. If you enjoy simulation games that are similar to this one, like Tavern Manager Simulation, I think you’ll have a good time with Potion Shop Simulator.
What else can I say? I’m in love with YOUR HOUSE. I think it’s a stunning amalgamation of everything I love about good video games and good stories. It feels so good to play, so good to beat the puzzles, and is such an interesting story, I will be singing its praises to anyone who will listen for quite a while. If you love puzzles, escape rooms, good stories, interesting visuals, and great vibes, you should pick up YOUR HOUSE for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.
Caduceus Quest is pretty, has a neat concept, and would make a great informational game. However, it is pretty unplayable as it currently stands. I still have yet to figure out how to get by the talking to the doctor quest because it just doesn’t seem to work. Overall, this could be such a cool game that I hope they fix it. But as it stands right now, it’s not worth taking a look at.
My time with Desktop Cat Cafe was short-lived and wasn’t great. I think the game has a lot of good bones, and it can be a great game at some point, but it needs a lot of love. At this moment, Desktop Cat Cafe is not worth $10 USD. I look forward to seeing it when it feels more complete.
Urban Jungle is a lot of fun to play and has many great points. I really enjoyed my time with it, and I look forward to seeing what this developer decides to work on next; I’m definitely a fan of what they have going on in this game! Overall, I really like it, and I think most cozy game lovers will think the same.
I did not entirely enjoy my time with Mycelium Heaven, but I think that was on me. It’s just not my type of game. It’s very death-centric in a way that just didn’t appeal to me. The graphics were cute, but the subject matter, coupled with the very goopy corpse sounds, turned me off completely. Overall, I believe Mycelium Heaven is a great game for a very specific audience, and I am just not part of that audience. While my rating for the game is “I Like It A Lot”, think of it more as “The Right Person Will Like It A Lot.” It’s a well-made, beautiful, interesting, and unique game. Given its polish, I am certain that if you like this kind of game and are looking for some very difficult puzzles, Mycelium Heaven could be the perfect pick for you.
Overall, Bao Bao’s Cozy Laundromat is one of the best idle background games I’ve played in a long time. I adore the artwork, and the music is so good and relaxing. I love my little laundromat so much, and I can’t wait to keep it going.
Berry Berry Festival is fun, adorable, well-made, and a great little game for children. I wouldn’t recommend it for adults, mostly because the little games would probably not give you much of a challenge, but it was still a fun time for me. I adore Berry Berry Festival, and I hope this developer makes a ton more wholesome little kids’ games for me to enjoy.
While Waiting was fun, it was weird, it was unique, and it was a lot of time waiting around for things to happen. Overall, this strange little game is exactly what it claims to be in the Steam description. I had a lot of fun with my time in the game, and I hope to be able to finish it soon (I’m nearly done). I very rarely go back to a game after I have finished reviewing it, even if I liked it a lot unless there was something really special about it. I think this might be one of the games I make a little time to finish up in the very near future.
Some of the puzzles were really clever, but others were, as stated above, unintuitive. This was a remaster, yet there were still grammar mistakes. The graphics were so dark as to make playing A Rite from the Stars: Remaster Edition difficult. The only thing that the new one has better over the old appears to just be the price, which is a couple of bucks cheaper. I didn’t get very far in A Rite from the Stars: Remaster Edition, because it was almost unbearable to play. I think this is a game that could have been left in 2018.
As I mentioned up top, I’m not usually a huge fan of building sims. The majority of the genre is focused around warring your neighbors and feel a lot more like RTS games than sims sometimes. However, Foundation is a cozier version of the genre, and I love everything about it. It’s cute, it’s got a great tutorial, amazing atmosphere, colorful and beautiful graphics, good sound design, and a whole lot more. I can definitely recommend this to anyone, even if you’ve never played this kind of game before
There are a whole lot of things I do not like about Purrgonia, but I also feel like it could be made fun. If there were fewer things attacking me, I could cut down trees, if I could send villagers out to collect things, if I could decorate my town how I wanted, if I could interact with more things in the world, I think I would like it a lot. It feels very unfinished. Overall, I don’t have many positive feelings about my time with Purrgonia, but I think it could be something really neat one day with some work.
If your only complaint about a game is that there aren’t enough levels, that’s usually a good sign. I would love to see more levels added to Cat Needs in the coming months. I had a whole lot of fun with it, and it was a pleasure to play. I would recommend this game wholeheartedly to anyone who loves puzzle games and cats. It’s a cheap little game with a lot of heart, very well-made and polished, and super fun to play.
I adored Asfalia: Fear. It was fun, funny, and heartwarming. It felt like playing a higher-quality cartoon with excellent voice acting, fun dialogue, and even more fun sound design. There were a whole bunch of characters to meet, and each of them were interesting and unique. The world, the backgrounds, the flora and fauna of Asfalia made it feel like a real world. I didn’t really have any issues while playing, and I had a lot of fun with the puzzles, though there wasn’t much challenge for an adult. I think I will gift this little game to my niblings next time I get the chance; I think they will love Asfalia: Fear as much as I do!
If you are looking for a Solitaire-like game that is fun and relaxing, Cozy Solitaire is a great choice. It’s cute, fun to play, and very chill. If you are looking for a difficult challenge with timers and obstacles to make it more challenging, this one is one you will want to skip
If you like hidden object puzzle games, you will probably find Sweet Home 3: Look and Find Collector’s Edition fine. I liked it okay, but I do think it could use some improvements. You might also want to load your own music before starting it up.
I don’t like games that use AI; I don’t think that there are many use cases for AI in a space where you are charging people for the final product. Coupled with the fact that I was a little bored by Jixo overall, I think that I just don’t like it. It’s not original in any way, and the artwork, which is the main point of the game, is both AI and kind of lacklustre. Not ugly per se, but it that kind of fuzzy weirdness that comes with AI generation. Jixo: The Season of Joy Collector’s Edition has many different puzzles, but I wasn’t super impressed by the combination of art I don’t like, a $10 price tag, and generic games inside. If you don’t mind the AI art, you might find Jixo a lot more fun than I did, however, which is why I rated this title with an “I’m not sure.”
