Despite how much I’ve played the main games in both Animal Crossing and Pokémon since the early/mid-2000s, I didn’t expect that both of Nintendo’s biggest time-sink franchises would meld together so well, and yet Pokémon Pokopia has just blasted off straight to the top of my list of favourite cozy games.
Esoteric Ebb is a can’t-miss experience.

Neva: Prologue is a compelling, short-but-sweet postgame add-on, revisiting almost everything that made the main game special.
Like Demon Turf before it, Demon Tides emphasizes precision-based platforming, something that works even better in 3D.
PARANORMASIGHT: The Mermaid's Curse is yet another fantastic horror visual novel that even exceeds the first in some ways.

Mario Tennis Fever combines the same fun and technicality of the classics in the series with a wealth of variety and new ideas that make it one of the best in the series.
ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN combines so many of the things that make Suda 51's games so beloved and makes something fresh and insanely fun with them.
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is the third instalment in the Kiwami series, roughly translating to ultimate, peak or extreme
The Super Bomberman Collection is a genuine celebration of the SNES era of Bomberman games. Five amazing games, tons of goodies, what more could you want?
BlazBlue Entropy Effect X has been one of the few games that I have had a very hard time putting down strictly due to how much fun I was having playing it.
With Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma launching on PlayStation 5, new players have the perfect opportunity to check out another solid entry into the long-running sim series.
Mewgenics is a real-time strategy game with RPG elements that has players assume the role of an unnamed lab assistant to an eccentric mad scientist, tasked with procuring cats for all manner of weird shenanigans.
Nioh 3 expands on the formula even further than what came before it, taking lessons learned from games like Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and Rise of the Ronin.
