Farewell North is one of the more impactful and emotional gaming experiences I’ve had in recent years. The journey of the border collie, the bond with its human, and the struggle to find its way home all create a deeply emotional narrative that stays with you for a while and will probably bring a tear or two to your eyes. If you like story-driven adventures that tug at your heartstrings, you should definitely consider playing this game.
Stray Cats in Cozy Town is an excellent free addition to the hidden cats genre. It is easy, relaxing, and has a noble cause, so what’s not to like?
Hidden Cat Memories is another pleasant addition to the hidden cats genre, providing enough content to keep you busy.
Sunset Hills is a charming and cozy adventure that takes us on a train trip around the world, with memories, people, and stories to discover. If you like adventure games and train trips, you’ll love this game as much as I did.
Hidden Cats in Jigsaw Puzzle is a fun addition to the series. If you like puzzles and the artwork of the original games, you’ll like this one as well.
Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse is a beautiful conclusion to a fun and classic point-and-click trilogy. If you are a fan of the games, you’ll love this one. If this is the first Sam & Max game you try, you might also pick up the others.
The Star Named EOS is a short but memorable point-and-click adventure full of emotions and hope. I can’t wait to see what its developers will create next.
Love, Ghostie is a very cute and cozy game. It is somewhat short but has a lot of replayability potential. We have 12 characters to mix and match, which makes for up to 65 potential couples and storylines. With its pleasant music and cute characters, as well as skip dialogue options, it makes for a very relaxing and fun afternoon playthrough
Été is a relaxing painting game with a summery feel, gorgeous visuals, and a lovely soundtrack. It feels perfect for this ridiculously hot summer when the best thing we can do is stay inside and wait for the heat wave to pass. But you know, it will also be perfect for the cold months when we need a reminder of what summer feels like.
Nancy Drew: Mystery of the Seven Keys not a perfect game, but it’s a welcomed and awaited sequel to a great detective game series. It certainly improves on the previous game, Midnight in Salem, and we can only hope the next game will be even better.
Magical Delicacy is easily one of my best games this year. I can’t think of anything big that I didn’t like, and I look forward to playing it again.
Mega Mosaic is a modern take on the classic Minesweeper game, injecting new energy into the beloved logic puzzle genre. With challenging gameplay and updated graphics, it’s a fantastic addition for fans of puzzle games.
Olympicats is a fun addition to an already fun game. Besides a new scene, it also adds new elements to play around with in the level creator. If the developers keep delivering new DLCs with this quality, Meow Moments will surely become a go-to hub for hidden object/ kitten games. In any case, it’s a game that is more than worth it for fans of the genre.
At its heart, Papercut Art Gallery is a standard puzzle game. What makes it unique is the art style of the puzzles themselves. It seems the developers have created genuine paper art and made it into puzzles rather than imitating the style with any picture. The game strongly reminds me of my favorite: the Glass Masquerade game series. If you liked those, you’ll like Papercut Art Gallery as well.
Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is a gorgeous and fun addition to a great puzzle platformer game series. I highly recommend it if you are a fan of the original trilogy or are in the mood for a truly magical platforming adventure.
Tell Me Your Story is a heartwarming homage to our grandparents and their roles in our lives – by loving us and watching and helping us grow, telling us stories, and imparting us with life-learned lessons. This is a game that goes straight to my cozy go-to list of games, with the likes of Unpacking and Minami Lane to pick me up on a rainy day.
Echoes of the Plum Grove is a charming addition to the well-populated farming/survival sim games genre. While none of the gameplay mechanics are particularly novel, the game’s unique look is sure to attract quite a few fans. At the same time, the game offers more than enough content to make you stay in-game for several seasons.
Cats Balance is a delightful little puzzle game created entirely in a cozy color palette and pixel graphics. The music is pleasant enough, but it can be played with music off while doing something else, as I did.
Harold Halibut is a long-awaited game that more than pays off the wait. It’s a classic adventure game with a lot of soul that shouldn’t be missed.
Since discovering productivity apps, I’ve spent quite a while testing some of them. My daily app is Virtual Cottage, but now, with Spirit City: Lofi Sessions, a worthy opponent has arrived. Between its cozy esthetics, the potential for more customizations, and the integration of other YouTube playlists, I can spend time with Spirit City: Lofi Sessions.
