In My Bubble is a reminder that free-to-play doesn’t have to mean compromised. This is a thoughtful, well-constructed 3D platformer built around a creative mechanic and a welcoming tone. While some platforming elements can be a little awkward, the forgiving design and steady stream of ideas more than make up for it. It’s accessible for all ages, rewarding to explore, and generous with its content. Honestly, it wouldn’t feel out of place as a paid release, which makes its free price tag all the more impressive. If you enjoy 3D platformers and want something gentle, imaginative, and genuinely enjoyable, In My Bubble is absolutely worth your time.
Anthem#9 is a confident debut that takes familiar ideas and reshapes them into something distinctive. Its blend of deck-building, gem matching, and roguelike progression feels thoughtful rather than gimmicky, and the moment-to-moment gameplay is consistently engaging. There’s a short learning curve, but once the systems fall into place, the game reveals a depth that rewards repeated runs and experimentation. Whether you’re drawn in by strategy, style, or the sheer satisfaction of well-timed combos, Anthem#9 offers something worth your time. If you enjoy roguelikes and want something that feels new and original to the genre, this is well worth checking out.
Astro Party EX doesn’t promise endless progression systems or competitive depth, and it doesn’t try to be more than it needs to be. What it delivers is a lightweight, easy-to-access multiplayer experience that works best when shared with others in the same room. For a free-to-play game with no aggressive monetisation, it’s hard to be overly critical. There’s room for expansion, perhaps with AI bots or additional modes, but even as it stands, Astro Party EX succeeds at what it sets out to do. If you’re looking for a simple multiplayer game to fill a gap during a game night, this is well worth a download.
SkullPirates is a decent, no-nonsense brawler that feels best enjoyed in short bursts or with friends on the couch. Its combat is accessible, its style is recognisable, and its low price makes it an easy recommendation for local game nights. In single player, though, the formula wears thin. Repetition sets in quickly, deaths can feel unfair, and the humour doesn’t always justify the unskippable cutscenes. But that will depend on the player’s individual tastes. If you’re looking for a cheap co-op game to fill an evening with friends, SkullPirates fits the bill. Just don’t expect it to hold your attention for long if you’re sailing solo.
Overall, I found Familiar Findings to be a charming addition to my idle games collection with an engaging fusion mechanic that kept me eager to experiment and discover new species and color variants.
Seven Seas Jewels Collector’s Edition is simply more match-3 goodness. What it offers is a solid, content-rich version of a familiar formula, free from aggressive monetisation and packed with levels to work through. If you already own Avalon Jewels, you may not feel a strong pull to jump into this unless you’re actively craving more of the same. But if you enjoy match-3 games as a way to unwind, switch your brain off, and chip away at puzzles over time, this does the job well. It’s not doing anything bold or unexpected, but it is reliable, complete, and enjoyable in short or long sessions. It also works great on Steam Deck.
Jewel Match Atlantis Solitaire 5 is not breaking any new boundaries; it’s not anything special, but it is pretty well done. I only found two little bugs that occur when you use the back button. Overall, the game is a lot of fun if you like Solitaire-like card games.
Steel Century Groove isn’t flawless, but it’s genuinely fun. The rhythm battles are engaging, the soundtrack is excellent, and the idea of settling rivalries through mech dance-offs never gets old. The story and characters won’t click with everyone, and the structure can feel repetitive at times, but the core gameplay does more than enough to hold your attention. It feels like the start of something special, and I’d love to see how this concept could evolve in the future. At the very least, the free demo is worth checking out. It might just make you want to get your groove on.
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?
