Puzzling Places – 3D Jigsaw Sim is a great puzzle game; it’s a great diorama game. The game is polished from the main menu to the controls and the chill soundtrack. I love the customization options for the puzzles, the sounds, and the little elements. I’ve been savoring the 18 puzzles we have for now and am eagerly awaiting future content updates.
It is quite fitting that our first true customer is someone familiar – it sets the tone of the game- we are in familiar cozy waters, but it won’t be quite the same as before. There are new things to learn and hear, new friends to meet, and new faces to remember. The Coffee Talk games are very dear to me, always a comforting gaming experience, which I continue to return to. It was a relief when Coffee Talk Tokyo was announced, and now I am ecstatic to report that the new game is just as good as the others. If you loved the originals, I think you’ll absolutely love Coffee Talk Tokyo too.

I’ve been in the mood for a good detective story for a while now, and thankfully, Feline Forensics and the Meowseum Mystery didn’t disappoint me. I hope the game is successful enough for the developers to give us another chance to investigate crimes with this particular cat detective.

Moving Day: Make it Home is a down-to-basics interior design game. While there are more polished examples of the genre available, Moving Day: Make it Home can still scratch an itch. For its price and with tempered expectations, it can offer a few hours of mindless fun in cleaning and rearranging furniture to your heart’s content, if you don’t mind the basic options.

If you like educational games and sea creatures, and if you are in the mood for some calm and contemplative gaming experience, take a look at Turquoise. You will probably enjoy it.
I love adventure games, have a soft spot for trains, and especially enjoy the combination of the two. It sounds like a niche genre, but this is actually my third “murder investigation” on a train, after 2024’s Loco Motive and 2023’s Murder on the Orient Express. Each of those games brings something new to the table, and Moses & Plato – Last Train to Clawville is certainly one of the more unique spins on the story. I hope this is not the last I’ve seen from Moses and Plato.
