GrimGrimoire One More seems like a solid remake of the original game from 2007. It is lacking something though that makes it another special entry in the roster of VanillaWare's games.

Fairy Fencer F: Refrain Chord feels like a lukewarm successor of Fairy Fencer F instead of a completely new game. There are some fresh elements, but many more were just taken from the first game, like characters, music and environments.

I would have preferred to go without the frustrating bossfights, but apart from that, Makis Adventure is a well-crafted indie game with a great atmosphere and lots and lots of attention to detail.

Duru: About Mole Rats and Depression shares and important message and clearly shows how hard it is to navigate live with mental health issues. The title stumbles with its gameplay though: It's quite monotonous and simply not fun.

Plantera 2 is a little farming game that is perfect to be played now and then. It does not challenge you much but it delivers a nice, relaxing experience.

Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus and Butterfly is like the second visit in a wonderful café: There's still that awesome quality but the sensation of something special begins to fade.

Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores runs really well on PS5 and presents an exceptional bossfight. There are some issues with gameplay and technical aspects though.

Recollection is a very relaxing game that lets you concentrate on the essential things in life and that lets you forget your daily grind.

Stray Blade brings in everything to be a great game: I can see a title scoring within the high 80s range here. But it all gets broken with the horrible combat in the game and missing technical polish.

This little game can greatly help seeing the positive things in the world instead of the negative ones. There are a lot of bugs and issues to fix though.

Strayed Lights tells a great story without any words and brings a wonderful world to your screen. Its potential though isn't fully used as sooner or later, it's just your gateway to the next bossfight. The bossfights can become frustrating, especially due to the shaky performance of the game on Xbox Series S.

A TAVERN FOR TEA is a wonderful, yet very short, story in which you brew tea for your guests and help them find themselves.

There are a few frustrating and/or shallow elements in what could be a truly wholesome game. But there's also this beautiful world full of adventures and a great atmosphere. Overall, Tchia is one of the best open-world games that I've played in a while.

Road 96: Mile 0 depicts a depressing world that I like very much though. The game tells a thrilling story about two progagonists who wants to leave this dystopian world. Road 96: Mile 0 delivery with great voice acting, soundtrack and a beautiful art style.

Atelier Ryza 3 is another adventure full of alchemy, magical keys and interwoven stories that could mean the end of the world. You'll have a lot of walking to do to experience all of this - but you'll also experience a story with a lot of personality and great characters.

I gladly remember Kentucky Route Zero for its dense atmosphere, great soundtrack and beautiful places - even if I sometimes asked myself what I'm doing in this surreal world.

In Animal Shelter Simulator, you run an animal shelter in which dog houses are not more than decoration. That's how a lot of potential remains unused here. The technical issues on PS4 are also persistent.

The Ship Graveyard Simulator ended up as a big surprise for me and also earned its status as one kind of wholesome game.

The Pale Beyond sends you to the infinite ice for a deadly mission. It's an exciting concept and it's really a big task to keep your crew alive. It's even more tricky due to a few technical issues.
