Laid-Back Camp All -in -one is a cute game about camping that's sure to give you cozy vibes, but the gameplay doesn't live up to it's charming setting. Based on the anime series Laid-Back Camp, this story-drive gacha game follows a group of friends that travel around Japan, setting up campsites in different locations. It does a terrific job capturing the look and feel of the anime, but the actual game could use some work.

Cats & Soup: Magic Recipe strays from the gameplay of the original Cats & Soup, but it's still bursting with charm. It's still a game about cute cats making soup, but this time, the soup is made a little differently. The original is an idle tycoon title, but Magic Recipe is a merge game, and that meant I had to put in a little more effort to bring tasty new dishes to life. I started out with a small vegetable patch. Tilling the soil dug up vegetables, and merging my crops turned them into new ingredients. Sometimes, it was easy to see what my merged veggies would become; obviously, combining two carrot sprouts will get me a carrot. Other times, the transformations were a little less obvious. Merge two potatoes, and they turn into garlic. Who knew?

SHOULD I PLAY POKÉMON SCARLET & VIOLET - THE TEAL MASK DLC? You should definitely play this one if you enjoyed Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, but if you weren’t a big fan of the latest Pokémon games, you might want to pass. The Teal Mask is the first half of The Hidden Treasures of Area Zero DLC. It has all the qualities that made Scarlet & Violet great, but it also has the same flaws. I was hoping that

SHOULD I PLAY RUNE FACTORY 3 SPECIAL? If you’re a farming game fan, you won’t want to miss this, especially if you skipped the original Rune Factory 3 on the Nintendo DS. Rune Factory 3 Special is a lovingly crafted remaster of one of the best games in the Rune Factory series. It’s a wonderful blend of farming, slice-of-life social mechanics, and action RPG combat. There are times when it feels a little dated, but overall, it’s a pretty fantastic package. It’s the perfect game to play while you curl up under a blanket on a cozy fall day.

In this game, we are bringing drinks to customers as a cat. When we reach the determined amount every day, a new level is opened. Different types of drinks are added at each level. Their price goes up as well. The sounds and visuals of the game are very good. However, since it is difficult to control the cat, you constantly bump into something. This slows you down. Sounds:10/10 Gameplay:7/10 Graphics:8/10

SHOULD I PLAY MONSTER HUNTER NOW? Skip it unless you’re really itching for a Pokémon Go alternative. Monster Hunter Now is the latest Pokémon Go clone from Niantic, and while it’s entertaining enough, it doesn’t capture the qualities that make Monster Hunter great. There are plenty of familiar monsters to fight, like Pukei-Pukei and Barroth, but the battles aren’t much more than a series of button taps. I love the idea of

A LOT, actually. But I will start with my least favorite, the naked mole rat, thanks to Fallout. That creature scare the sh*t of me. Don’t ever google it. It’s a nightmare. (I just googled it again and now I want to throw away my computer.) Anyway, here are the cute ones. 1. Saga from Arknights My favorite monk <3 She’s based on shiba (dog), I think. The only bad thing is, I don’t have her in my team.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re a fan of retro strategy titles like Tactics Ogre or Final Fantasy Tactics. Arcadian Atlas is a pixelated tactical RPG that feels like it could be a forgotten PlayStation title. It takes place in Arcadia, a kingdom trapped in a bloody civil war. The story revolves around Vashti and Desmond, two lovers who find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict. As I played, I had the chance to see the war from different perspectives, which gave the story additional depth. The old-school battle mechanics might feel dated to some players, but die-hard tactics fans will definitely want to check this one out.

Don't you enjoy discovering a new and intriguing visually simple but somewhat complex turn-based tactical game with so much potential that is ultimately squandered due to slightly underdeveloped AI, mechanics, and frustrating RNG factors that make the game less strategic and more or less a gamble with dice rolls? That is Trash of the Titans. It's a lot of fun to play for the first time. Regardless of whether you select a high difficulty or have a good run. The maps all remain the same just blindfolded; nothing prevents you from proceeding in the same manner as last time, or pinpointing spawns and enemy starts unless you simply do not receive the upgrades and stat increases to compensate for the increase in defense and health that each and every monster will have acquired in those higher difficulties.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re a fan of farming games. Everdream Valley has modern 3D graphics, but it feels like it could be a hidden prequel to Stardew Valley or Harvest Moon. Instead of running your own farm, you play as a kid spending their summer vacation with their grandparents. Your grandparents aren’t in the best of health, and their farm has definitely seen better days. If you’re up to the challenge, there are crops to water, animals to care for, and locations to explore. The game is cute and cozy, but it’s also filled with things to do, so if you’ve got the farming bug, it should keep you busy for quite a while.

Crazy Knock Balls Blast is amazing ball blast game. It has many levels for you to play. Play with friends and family and enjoy.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it, especially if you’re a fan of older Harvest Moon games. Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is a remake of a Harvest Moon title that was originally released on the Nintendo GameCube. It’s received a visual overhaul, and there’s lots of new content, but it hasn’t lost any of the original game’s charm. A Wonderful Life has everything you’d expect from a farming game, like crops to grow and cute animals to raise, but it has a unique approach to storytelling that sets it apart from similar titles. The story it tells spans decades, and your choices can shape the course of the game. It’s a truly special title that helped me remember why I fell in love with farming games in the first place.

STORY OF SEASONS: A Wonderful Life Developer: Marvelous Inc Publisher:  Marvelous Inc Released: June 27th, 2023 Price: 39.99 USD Harvest Moon vs Stardew Valley As we become older, younger generations of gamers are increasingly failing to appreciate the origins of gaming. Story of Seasons - A Wonderful Life is a rework of the classic Harvest Moon - A Wonderful Life. It's actually a semi-decent port of the PlayStation 2 version of the game; yet, when compared to the GameCube version, many things here have been modified or omitted completely.

Your very first quest in Mail Time is to deliver a letter to a mysterious person known only as Greg. Don’t panic if you’ve been searching high and low for Greg but can’t seem to locate him. Even though this is your starting quest, finding Greg actually triggers the end of the game. If you’ve delivered plenty of mail, but you still can’t figure out how to get to Greg, here’s what you need to do. Reaching Greg requires you to do some fancy jumping, so you’ll need at least fourteen Mail Scout badges to reach for locations. Once you have the required badges, an old pal of Greg’s named Jim will point you in the right direction. Jim is located in an easy-to-miss area close to Basil the bunny and Ham the hamster. Look for a long wooden bridge that leads to an area with tall stalks of bamboo.

Spiritle is a 4 players turn-based strategic battle digital board game. You incarnate a Spirit among  the 4 elements: Nature, Earth, Water and Fire. At the rhythm of the 4 seasons, the fallen Souls challenge each other to regain their place in the World Tree. In this enchanting cross-platform pairing game, open and pair similar lands to Attack and defeat other Players to win the party. FREE-TO-PLAY on mobile and PC.

Lost in Play is a near-perfect blend of fantasy storybooks and Saturday morning cartoons. This adorable adventure game stars Toto and Gal, two imaginative siblings that find themselves trapped in a whimsical fantasy world. To get back home, the two of them will have to solve puzzles, take on terrifying monsters, and make friends with fantasy creatures. Some point-and-click adventure games can be confusing or overwhelming, but Lost in Play manages to streamline and simplify the puzzle-solving process without dumbing things down. Since every character speaks in gibberish, I never had to sift through dialogue or solve riddles to determine out what I should do next.  All of the clues I received were pictures, which made them easy to figure out.

SHOULD I PLAY FAE FARM? If you’re a big farming game fan, you should absolutely check this one out, but you might want to wait for a patch or a price drop. Fae Farm has an adorable art style and a lot of great ideas, but it has some frustrating issues. Ultimately, those problems didn’t keep me from having fun, but there are better farming games out there, and most of those games are available at a much lower price point.

Strange Hill is a story-driven adventure game with a lot of great ideas. You play as a young boy that rescues a talking robot that recently fell from the sky. Before long, he's fighting zombie rabbits, jumping through the sky, and uncovering incredibly weird secrets. It's a fun premise that feels straight out of a Saturday morning cartoon, but I felt like my experience was constantly being interrupted by ads.
