While Brain Show does have some kinks, it is a good trivia game. If you have a group of friends and a couple of controllers around, Brain Show will be a fun game to pass the time. What’s more, it has a solid foundation, which, if developed further, can become an excellent trivia game.
While Big Adventure: Trip to Europe 4 is by no means a groundbreaking game, it does what it intends very well. It offers the player a few hours of relaxing, unhurried puzzle-solving while also offering some interesting tidbits about some of Europe’s best places.
I was excited for Annie and the AI, and in general, I think it is a very solid game with what it strove to do. That being said, I feel like it should be known that it touches on some very serious issues in the family and school, which might not be anyone’s idea of fun. However, if you are okay with those topics coming up in games and you like visual novels and AI, I think you’ll like this one.
Glass Masquerade 3: Honeylines is a great addition to an already great game series. While it is an absolute must for fans of the games, it also makes for a great entry for new players to join in on the fun. The game is guaranteed fun with its gorgeous art, beautiful music, and smooth controls. I can hardly wait and hope for Onyx Lute to release some DLCs to go with the game.
Hello Goodboy shows a remarkable sensitivity to a painful topic from the beginning by warning the players that while the story is light-hearted, it can still be painful to someone who has lost a precious person. In that matter, it heavily reminds me of Spiritfarer (2020). Hello Goodboy is a memorable cozy gaming experience that is definitely worth trying out.
With its simple yet challenging gameplay, Cubic Figures is a fun addition to the casual puzzle genre. The game’s content is more than enough for a few hours of fun.
Studies in recent years have shown that puzzles can help improve overall mental abilities and reduce the risk of dementia. So games like Neon Fantasy: Animals can be fun and good for us! Neon Fantasy: Animals is a game with a straightforward premise; however, with its relaxing music and beautiful images, it makes for an excellent casual puzzle game.
PictoPull is a new addition to the block-pulling genre. The game’s simple but challenging gameplay, colourful graphics, and level editor make it a must-play for fans of these kind of puzzles. With over 150 levels and the ability to create and share your own levels, PictoPull offers players endless hours of fun and creativity
Remote Planets offers a perfect blend of challenge and relaxation, which is hard to come by in puzzle games. With its challenging puzzles and colourful and charming world, the game is a must-play for fans of Sokoban puzzle games.
In conclusion, Planet of Lana is one of the best games I’ve played recently. It is clear that for Thunderful Publishing, it was a labour of love, from the premise to animation, world lore, music, and sounds. Even more impressive, the whole game studio was created around this project, and this game is their first. Based on PoL, they have a bright future ahead of them.
In conclusion, I liked Paint by Pixel much more than I expected. The first time I played, I only intended to try it for a few minutes. Instead, I spent almost an hour colouring pixeled hot air balloons and astronauts. It’s a simple premise, but the end result is very relaxing.
In conclusion, Moviehouse – The Film Studio Tycoon is a good game with an interesting premise. It offers a fun and engaging experience, especially for fans of simulation and strategy games. However, several issues, such as the limited control over the movie’s plot and the game’s repetitive nature, can make it boring for some players. Despite its flaws, the game is worth trying. The developers’ continuous dedication to improving it is a promising sign for its future.
In summary, Hoping Forest is a deceptively simple but challenging tile-based puzzle game that takes you on a relaxing journey through a charming forest. Help the little frog find its new home in the forest while listening to some relaxing lo-fi music. With its calm gameplay, low-poly graphics, and soothing soundtrack, Hoping Forest is a game that you won’t regret playing.
While I liked Rescue Agency: The Kidnapper of Happiness, I wish it was a bit shorter. The main story took me about 12 hours to complete, and it started getting repetitive at some point. Each mission (including the main story) can be repeated as often as the player wants so it can get long. Afterwards, there are also additional quests. The Steam game also includes some extras like concept art and soundtrack. One exciting feature is the inclusion of a help button, which shows tactics on how to get through the level. There are Steam achievements, but no trading cards for now. In conclusion, Rescue Agency: The Kidnapper of Happiness is a pretty game with lively and colourful animations, cute characters, and a story and game mechanics that provide a relaxing experience for the players.
