Lost in Random: The Eternal Die doesn’t try to revolutionise the roguelite genre, but it doesn’t need to. Its combination of stylish presentation, solid combat, and clever mechanics makes it a worthy addition to the genre. If you’re feeling burnt out on roguelikes, it might not reignite your passion, but for fans of the format or the world of Lost in Random, it’s an easy recommendation.
If you’re searching for a game that offers a blend of quiet reflection, mythological storytelling, and light puzzle-solving, Bahamut and the Waqwaq Tree is an excellent choice. It may not appeal to thrill-seekers, but for anyone in need of a calm, purposeful adventure, it’s an ocean gem with a lot of heart.
The GEX Trilogy is a solid trip down memory lane. These games may not be genre-defining classics, but they’re better than many remember, especially with the modern improvements layered on top. The 2D original benefits greatly from quality-of-life features, while the two 3D titles still hold up with their quirky design and varied level themes. If you loved GEX back in the day, GEX Trilogy is the best way to re-experience it. And if you missed him entirely, this collection offers a polished, accessible way to see what all the wisecracking was about
If you’re looking for a cosy puzzle game with no stress, awesome visuals and one that can pull you into the story without a spoken word, you should go for Instants. It works well on the Switch 2, but I do feel the button controls were designed with Steam in mind. It’s not a long game, some three hours, but it will be time well spent.
Harold Rabbit—Finder of Lost Things feels like an unfinished game. With a little bit of work, it could be a lot of fun and very cute, but as it stands, I wouldn’t pick this game up. Once it has been updated with some bug fixes and a hint system, this will be an absolute delight to play, but I can’t give it a positive score as is. I hope to be able to change this rating in the future.
There’s a lot of fun to be had in Wobbly Life! Some of the jobs are more challenging and trickier than others, but with no pressure to complete them all, there’s something for everyone, at all ages. It’s silly, it’s funny, and although at times really frustrating, there is something addictive about Wobbly Life.
Survival Kids is bright and colourful, with lovely graphics and great audio narration. The ability to GameShare makes playing with friends and family more accessible, more enjoyable and some of the challenges easier to complete. However, Survival Kids has been carefully designed, so that you can complete the whole game by yourself. I’ve had a blast with the bomb flowers, reached new heights with the cannons and wanted more islands to explore. Survival Kids is definitely a contender for one of my games of the year.
Arcane Investigations is a short burst of cozy gaming, perfect for rainy Spring days. As I said, I wouldn’t mind playing more in the same world. You might agree after playing Arcane Investigations.
Overall, Camper Van: Make it Home is a lot of fun. It’s cute, it’s cozy, and the premise is great. However, it didn’t quite feel done without a creative mode. It’s pretty short, but it’s one of those games you can play several times and still get the same relaxing vibes out of it that you did the first time. I enjoyed my time with Camper Van: Make it Home, but I’m not sure it is worth the price that players will need to pay for it.
If you enjoy puzzle games with an emotional thread and nostalgic feelings, or simply want a relaxing, heartfelt way to spend an afternoon, puzzle Projected Dreams might be just what you’re looking for. Play with light beams and shadows made by objects, and get your thinking cap on to find the best solution.
Me resbala! is not an easy game, despite the simple premise. It requires strategy and patience. It is a rewarding experience to figure out a level. If you like games like that, you should probably give Me resbala! a try. Considering it’s also free, it’s indeed a great steal.
Alex Hill: Whispers at White Oak Inn is a pretty good game. I am not a huge fan of the genre of mystery point-and-click games, but this one was actually pretty well done. I was surprised at how much of it I played through before remembering I was supposed to be doing a review! Overall, it was a good experience. While I think that those who are experts at this genre will find it a little too simple or easy, I think it’s still worth a play.
CraftCraft: Fantasy Merchant Simulator is a gorgeous visual novel fantasy RPG with crafting elements. Currently, the game feels brief, with approximately 4 hours of gameplay time required to complete the story. There is no endless mode, and some of the controls are slightly annoying. However, the game feels like a terrific fantasy novel, and the developers have been updating it since day one, so I have high hopes for how it will look in a couple of months. If you are in the mood for some light-hearted and cozy fantasy fun, give CraftCraft a chance, if not now, then in a few weeks.
Rise of Industry 2 didn’t quite land with me personally, but I can see it striking a chord with fans of complex management sims. If you enjoy games that reward patience, long-term planning, and fine-tuning every aspect of a system, there’s a lot here to enjoy. It’s not built for quick sessions or casual play, at least not at first, but it’s an impressive, detailed game with a unique style and ambition. For gamers with the time and interest to truly dig in, Rise of Industry 2 might just be your next great challenge.
There are some nice touches in Ashwood Valley: unlimited pockets are always welcome, and your little character happily runs around the valley, making exploring quick. However, the controls are unresponsive and slow to trigger, making the farming and animal management a tedious process. The main objective is too easy to complete, and then there is little to keep you truly engaged.
Nice Day for Fishing blends RPG mechanics with fishing in a way that feels both natural and refreshing. It’s a game that doesn’t take itself too seriously, yet offers a surprisingly deep and rewarding experience. Whether you’re following the main story, upgrading your gear, or just hanging out by the water to see what you can catch, there’s a lot to love here. This is a game that understands the joy of quiet progression and mixes it with creative twists on genre expectations. If you’re looking for a unique RPG with heart, humor, and hooks (literally), this one’s worth casting a line for.
Marvelous totally changed direction, and I can say I love it. They kept the essence of farming, exploring, and romance and put a new twist on all of it. Adding a management element into the mix by taking care of various villages and workers is brilliant; it takes away what can ultimately become a tedious chore. To me, the fighting is more difficult, but then I’m never a big fan of action fighting. But by adding story mode, it is very much doable. There really is so much to tell about Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, I could fill many pages detailing all there is to do in the game. For now, though, I’ll add my verdict to this review.
I liked Trash Goblin in its Early Access version. There were some things to iron out, but it had a lot of promise and potential. I am happy to report that the full version more than lives up to that potential. Trash Goblin is a delightfully relaxing and cozy puzzle game; if you enjoy the genre, I recommend trying it – you’ll love it.
I played the demo of Spray Paint Simulator a few months back, and the game has been on my wishlist ever since. I am happy to report that it was worth the wait, and I can only hope that the developers will release many DLCs for this game. If you enjoy meditative painting and washing games, you’ll love Spray Paint Simulator as well!
Spirit of the North 2 is a warm, peaceful game ideal for those who want to explore, solve puzzles, and soak in beautiful visuals, all without a single sword swing. It’s not flawless: bugs, optimisation issues, and an occasionally frustrating platforming system hold it back from greatness. But if you love animals, especially foxes, and enjoy games that value tranquillity over tension, this is a lovely journey well worth your time. The moments where you’re dashing across an open field with your raven friend under a golden sky are nothing short of magical.
