Solitaire Quest: Garden Story is a fun game for Solitaire fans. The story is nothing special, but it does give the game some contextuality and explains the need to upgrade the garden. That’s common for games like this one. The star of the game is, without a doubt, the artwork; it’s cosy and beautiful. It’s more appealing than the green backgrounds of the usual solitaire games. If you like solitaire, Solitaire Quest: Garden Story offers more than enough quality and quantity for its price.
Kena: Bridge of Spirits is one of my favorite games from the last few years. It’s dynamic and colorful; it has a story and heart. It makes you think and care about its characters and story. The only thing I don’t like about this game is that it still has no sequel.
Purrfectly Hidden Cats: Kittenbay is another good cozy hidden object game that lets you escape for a few moments. With its humor and upbeat atmosphere, it is great fun, but it might overstay its welcome if you get stuck at 49 pink cats out of 50
The Talos Principle 2 is one of the best puzzle games I’ve played recently. It is also one of the best and most thought-provoking sci-fi stories I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing. I can’t recommend it enough.
Purrfectly Hidden Cats: Kittenwood is the perfect cozy hidden object escape for a few moments during these cold winter months. With its humor and upbeat atmosphere, it is well worth the time.
Chronique des Silencieux is a game I’ve waited quite a while for, and I am happy to report it didn’t disappoint at all. It was everything it promised to be. I hope this is not the last I see from Eugene, a private detective.
While Meow Moments itself, in the way it is now, has little replayability value, the fact that it is free more than makes up for it. Besides, the developers promise to add a lot more content shortly. What’s more, the level creator can also be used to create new levels and challenges. If the new DLCs keep the quality of the main game, Meow Moments has the potential to 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.
I thoroughly enjoyed Lil’ Guardsman, and I’ll enjoy it for a while longer while I get more endings. Meanwhile, I’ll recommend it several times to the same people until they finally decide enough is enough and try it themselves. It’s that good
Pixsaw is a good game, but if it had more variety in the gameplay, so, for example, options to change the color or maybe the option to toggle off the colored outline where a shape fits, it might’ve been more engaging. Pixsaw might be alright to play some levels here and there. I do wish all-size puzzles were unlocked at the beginning. Still, it’s a nice and colorful puzzle game that can help you pass the time if you like this type of puzzle.
Harvest Havoc can be a hilariously busy and chaotic farm-themed battle royal. The servers are empty now, but you can connect with friends easily. I am always looking for good online games to play with friends around the globe, and Harvest Havoc fits the bill nicely.
Genius Moves! offers a few hours of charming logic puzzles. It’s nothing too special, nothing unseen, but if you like logic games and you are in the mood for some colorful coziness, Genius Moves! might be just the game for you.
Twistingo Hummingbird Haven Collector’s Edition is a nice mini-game collection that will entertain you for a few hours. While it doesn’t offer anything groundbreaking it still has all the ingredients to make it work. While I haven’t played the first game in the series, I did read Mina’s excellent review and it appears this game is quite similar if not identical to that game. If you enjoyed the first Twistingo, you might enjoy this one.
Zooplop certainly surprised me. The gameplay and the art style are straightforward, but the game is fun. It’s almost like cotton candy; no substance, but fun. I don’t see Zooplop having any replay value, and there isn’t much strategy to it; you mash animals together, after all, but it serves its primary function reasonably well: to entertain.
The latest game in the series, Hidden Cats in Santa’s Realm, follows through with the changes in the gameplay Hidden Cats in Rome brought to the series. Hidden Cats in Santa’s Realm doesn’t disappoint, and what’s more, comes at the perfect time for some Christmas-y fun. I can’t wait for the next one.
The latest game in the series: Hidden Cats in Rome, has changed the gameplay a lot, and yet the main idea from the first game is the same. It’s a winning combination of elements, and besides adding more content, I don’t see any way it can be improved any more. Hidden Cats in Rome once again gave me a few relaxing and fun hours from everyday life. I can’t wait for the next game in the series.
When I saw the trailer for Universe of Sale, I was intrigued by the art style and the story, but I didn’t expect it to quickly become one of my favorite games of the year. It is a well-crafted game worth experiencing, and I’ll keep thinking of it for a while.
When I started The Invincible and saw the title screen with the note that the game is based on Stanislaw Lem’s iconic novel, I knew I was in for something unique. I was not disappointed. The Invincible is easily one of the best sci-fi games I’ve played in recent years. It’s engaging, thought-provoking, and beautiful. It’s the type of game that makes you take note of the studio enough to consider preordering their next game sight unseen.
Games Advent Calendar – 25 Days – 25 Surprises takes the very traditional idea of the advent calendar and tries to do something unique and fun. It’s not a bad idea, but the execution leaves something to desire. Besides, even the idea is not particularly novel – for a few years, Google has been doing the same with the Santa tracker. The idea is the same – we have games around Santa’s Village, which can be played throughout December, culminating with tracking Santa Clause “live” on the 24th of December while he races around the globe to deliver presents. Still, if you can’t wait until December and are in the mood for some simple fun, you can try Games Advent Calendar. I recommend waiting for a sale. Though the price is a bit too much for what the game offers.
While Meowing Point is not a bad game, it doesn’t yet feel good either. It needs a lot more polishing and content. The idea behind the game is excellent; dragging a fully 3D-rendered picture around to change the perspective and unravel hidden nooks within it is very clever. Look at the trailer on the Steam page. If you like the style, you might enjoy the game as well. For me, though, Meowing Point is a great idea, the execution of which needs a lot more work before I can recommend it wholeheartedly.
While I have nothing wrong to say about Paraido, there is also nothing groundbreaking about the game. It would’ve been nice to be able to skip any level, not just some. If you need a couple of minutes to unwind or destress and like puzzles, this one might be for you. It requires thinking and is far from mindless clicking to finish a level.
