Overall, I found Jixo 4: Magical Nights Collector’s Edition to be not worth my time or money. The puzzles are okay, the art is bad, and the game is so generic that it’s impossible to state anything that makes it unique. I am not a fan of AI art, and I didn’t enjoy looking at it for the couple of hours I played. If you are looking for a great little puzzle game with cute graphics, original artwork, and unique puzzles, the Jixo series and other Mixo games do not seem to be the place to look.
My Tiny Landscape is a thoughtful, strategy game that respects your time and attention. It offers meaningful decisions without overwhelming you, and it balances calm vibes with just enough challenge to keep things interesting. While I would have liked to see more progression or variety over the long term, what’s here is well put together and satisfying to play. It’s the kind of game you come back to when you want to slow down, think a little, and watch something nice take shape.
Snowman Mo is a feel-good adventure that deserves more attention than it’s received so far. It balances light gameplay with meaningful themes, all wrapped in a friendly, approachable package. It won’t appeal to players looking for high difficulty or constant action, but for anyone wanting a calm, story-focused experience, it’s an easy recommendation. It’s especially well-suited for playing with younger players watching along, or for those evenings when you want something comforting without being dull. Snowman Mo made me smile more than once, and it left a lasting impression thanks to its heart and sincerity.
I don’t have a whole lot to say about A Cat named Gossamergoober. I like the vibe; it’s goofy and weird in a way that I find appealing. But the gameplay and the levels aren’t fun, and they are filled with bugs. They don’t seem to have a goal or a point a lot of the time. The controls aren’t the best. I think A Cat named Gossamergoober could be a fun game with a lot of playtesting and tweaking, but it is not yet worth your hard-earned money.
I love meta-games. Titles like Inscryption, There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension, and Bem Feito have left a lasting impression by brilliantly playing with the form. Omi Oh My AI doesn’t reach that standard. Even its attempt at The Stanley Parable’s experimental style falls flat. The only praise I can offer is for the initial idea—loved in concept, loathed in execution. It pains me to give an indie title a negative review, but I had a bad time. It was boring, tedious, and felt like an eternity despite lasting only a few hours. I have no desire to play the third act, and while curiosity about the non-existent story might one day compel me, I cannot recommend it.
Mate’Morphosis presents players with a series of logic-based Chess puzzles that require careful planning to correctly transform their pieces, move about the board, and checkmate the king. Unfortunately, the absence of a hint system or a level skip feature can stop players from fully experiencing this game.
Cozy Caravan is very cosy. Chatting with Bubba made me laugh, and it was just adorable when he patted the log next to the fire in the evening routine, so we could sit and eat together. There are some idiosyncrasies in the gameplay which need a little more work, and this is disappointing after being in early release for so long. However, I enjoyed playing Cozy Caravan too much to give it anything less than our top rating
Avalon Jewels is a reminder of why match-3 games became popular in the first place. It offers a complete experience with plenty of content, varied objectives, and satisfying mechanics, all without asking for extra payments along the way. It’s familiar, comfortable, and easy to enjoy, especially if you’ve drifted away from the genre due to how aggressive it has become elsewhere. It won’t surprise seasoned puzzle fans with bold new ideas. What it delivers is a well-made, feature-complete match-3 game that focuses on fun. If you’ve missed this style of puzzle game, Avalon Jewels is well worth your time.
Warhead Circus is a game that grows on you. It doesn’t hold your hand, and it doesn’t immediately explain why it’s fun. But if you give it time, learn its rhythms, and accept that failure is part of the process, it becomes a compelling pick-up-and-play experience. It’s undeniably minimalistic, and there’s room for more variety, additional modes, or alternate bosses. Still, what’s here is fun. I started this game unsure and slightly frustrated, and I ended it wanting just one more run. If you’re looking for something different within the roguelite space, something that tests your reflexes and rewards persistence, Warhead Circus is well worth your time.
An Aisling has an interesting premise and a few moments of quiet beauty, but the overall experience didn’t work for me. Unintuitive controls, performance hiccups, grating dialogue sound effects, and uneven audio quality make it difficult to settle into the dreamlike world An Aisling tries to create. While some players may still appreciate its gentle pacing and folklore‑inspired themes, I ultimately found it more frustrating than soothing. If you enjoy atmospheric wanderers and don’t mind some rough edges, you may still find something to appreciate here. But for me, An Aisling is an adventure that never quite found its footing.
Despite a few niggles with its progression system, MIO: Memories in Orbit is a wonderful adventure. It looks beautiful, sounds incredible, and feels fantastic to play. The platforming is excellent, exploration is rewarding, and the world is rich with atmosphere and quiet storytelling. If you’re not completely burnt out on the genre, or if you’re feeling that familiar itch to dive back into a thoughtful, well-crafted adventure, this is absolutely one to keep on your radar. MIO is a game that shows there is hope when all seems lost.
I really enjoyed my time with On-Together: Virtual Co-Working. The visuals are inviting, and the overall experience creates a soft, calming atmosphere that works perfectly for studying, writing, or any activity that demands sustained focus. I can easily see it being useful for a wide range of people, including students, freelancers, writers, and artists. As for me, I’ll definitely be tempted to use it again for both work and personal tasks. If you try it yourself, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Did it help smooth out your work sessions?
I had a whole lot of fun with The Kindling. It’s a very simple game with a simple premise, but it gets more complex as you continue. It uses levels to teach you the different interactions, and therefore doesn’t need a tutorial. It’s a cute, quirky little game, and I love it immensely. Hopefully, we’ll see more from these talented developers in the future.
Big Hops is one of those games that simply makes you smile. It’s incredibly well put together, with movement that feels as good as anything else in the genre right now. The balance between story, exploration, and gameplay is spot on, and the sheer pleasure of moving through its worlds rarely wears thin. Plus, I was smiling the entire time I played it. It’s early in the year, but Big Hops has already put itself firmly on my radar as a game-of-the-year contender. It’s a reminder of how magical a great platformer can be when it gets the fundamentals right. Don’t let this one hop past your Steam library.
Philna Fantasy is a game that takes its time to show you what it’s capable of. The early hours can feel a little uneven, especially thanks to some sharp difficulty spikes and unclear system introductions, but patience pays off. Once the mechanics settle and the game opens up, there’s a lot of enjoyment to be found in its combat, exploration, and progression systems. It’s not an instant hook, but it’s a grower. Stick with it, and Philna Fantasy reveals a surprisingly rich and rewarding adventure beneath its pixelated surface.
Astronook is a fun, casual puzzle game that is more challenging than it seems. You get to play as if you are a real astronomer in a cozy room filled with memories. The story is very emotional and relatable, about a person who grew out of a childhood dream to pursue a different career. Connecting stars seems plain, but each constellation poses its own difficulty and makes the game more engaging. The art, the sound design, and the ambience are relaxing, and the gameplay is satisfying. Completing the scrapbook feels more like a personal collection of favorite things than a challenge, and it’s very enjoyable. If you get stuck on a puzzle, a few hints will pop up from time to time to help you find the solution. Anyone who is interested in astronomy would very much enjoy this game because searching for planets and other wonders of space feels like using a real-life telescope, and the constellations are quite beautiful. It’s also very gratifying to fill your star map with all the available constellations and see your astronomical collection grow. It’s a quiet and solitary adventure filled with the company of the stars and memories of the past — a nostalgia for the simpler, purer days of childhood.
Super Chipflake Ü: Quest for the Uncooked Schnitzel is a great open-world fetch quest and collectathon bonanza, with lots of varied tasks and humorous conversations to keep you occupied and amused. However, there are a few frustrations in the gameplay, which take away some of the enjoyment.
Overall, MIRO feels a little unfinished. I think it has a lot going for it, and it could be a very interesting game. It has very good bones, but some of the meat of it is just not what I was looking for. I still liked my time with it, and I enjoyed exploring. I want more from MIRO, and I think most players will agree with me. I hope this developer keeps at it. I look forward to future updates!
DuneCrawl is a unique, creative start to 2026. It’s not flawless, and some players may find the controls and difficulty inconsistencies a bit fiddly. But what it offers is a sandbox adventure that feels fresh, inventive, and willing to take risks. Driving a giant crab across a hostile desert while upgrading your gear and reclaiming territory is as enjoyable as it sounds. For players looking for something different, especially with friends, DuneCrawl is well worth your time. It’s a game I can easily see myself returning to, just to wander the sands and see what trouble my crab can get into next.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon is another confident entry in a series. It offers a deep, flexible battle system, a massive amount of content, and a story that rewards long-time fans with meaningful payoffs and familiar faces. It’s not the best place to start your Trails journey, and newcomers may feel lost despite the helpful recaps. Consider jumping on Trails in the Sky also available on Switch 2 first. For existing fans, or players who already know they enjoy this style of RPG, there’s a lot to appreciate here. Personally, I’m far from a complete Trails expert, but every entry I’ve played has won me over through its combat systems and world-building. The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon continues that trend. It may not surprise you, but it delivers exactly what it promises.
