Goes from chill to chaos real quick. Super fun, satisfying, beautiful to look at and can get really challenging. Arguably better as a mobile game, but it works either way.

A remnant of its time, when games-with-awkward-controls was a big thing. It’s fun though, if you can get into the silliness of it. Challenging but relatively short in a welcome way.

Basically Genshin but sci-fi instead of fantasy, and turn-based instead of realtime combat. The intro tutorial is painful, but push through and it becomes pretty fun. Lock up your wallet.

IO Interactive’s reboot trilogy bundled into one package, and it’s about as good as a stealth sandbox gets. This is the culmination of over 20 years spent perfecting one format, and nobody builds these clockwork dioramas like IO do. Each map is a puzzle you learn by failing: patrol routes, target habits, a perfect silent run after a dozen botched ones. Few games reward patience this generously.

A peaceful and tactile puzzle game aimed at those who love things neat, tidy & organised. For the most part quite zen & intuitive, but solutions or controls can sometimes be a bit finnicky.

Somewhere between Journey and BOTW, but with a tighter and shorter focus. Great to look at, fun and satisfying to play. Could see it being repetitive and unrewarding for some, but its core is a nice.

Hugely addictive tower defense with beautiful, minimal art, from the Creative Director of Hitman GO. A lot of your energy will go into managing and mitigating RNG, but it’s fair, smart & lots of fun.

After being ready to dismiss this as a cash-in on Vampire Survivor’s success, I’ve been proven mostly wrong and pleasantly surprised. Reminiscent of Crimsonland, this takes the more active angle.

Absolute gem and insane value. Despite its mechanical simplicity, Vampire Survivors allows for tonnes of variety and replayability. Fun, satisfying and addictive - stop reading and play it.

Basically a serotonin dispenser - super fun. Pachinko dungeon crawling roguelike. Will rely on enough content being added to enable huge build diversity. Crazy, almost stupid idea, but it works.
