Many years ago, when controllers still had wires and dinosaurs roamed the earth, there was only one farming series on the scene: Harvest Moon. The Harvest Moon series was incredible—I loved tending crops, raising livestock, and chatting up the locals. But there were times when I wanted something more. What would it be like to play a farming game with a different setting? What if there was a game where I could whack weeds and slay monsters?

SHOULD I PLAY WITCHSPRING R? WitchSpring R instantly reminded me of the Atelier series, so if you’re a fan of those games, you won’t want to miss this one. It’s an incredibly cute and charming RPG, but it’s not shallow either. There’s real depth to its gameplay and characters, and its story is much more interesting than it initially seems to be. It’s a great mix of a fantasy adventure and a slice-of-life story, and that combination is hard to resist.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it, especially if you’re in the mood to get lost in a great story. I’d describe Fall of Porcupine as a cozy game, but there’s an underlying darkness to its narrative that gives its events a real sense of weight. You play as Finley, a small-town doctor who’s returning to work after an on-the-job injury. Finley clearly loves the town of Porcupine and its residents, but he has some concerns about St. Ursula’s, the hospital he works at. There’s a free demo that serves as a prologue to the main story, and I’d definitely recommend checking it out if you’re interested in the game.

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.

Well, at first sight it's interesting game, but need some fixes and polishing. 👍 Pros: - Animal crossing like game with farming and delivering crops - Cute graphics 👎 Cons: - Bugs (can't save game progres on account. Waiting for fix) - Clunky controls, need polishing (jump button works really bad) - Well, classic monetisation system with pass and etc.

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.

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

The second DLC for Scarlet and Violet is out, which means the Pokémon series now has 1,025 different monsters to catch. How do the latest creatures stack up? Below, you’ll find my extremely biased rankings of every single new Pokémon in the Area Zero DLC. 15. Fezandipiti Everything about Fezandipiti’s design is off-putting. What’s that pink stuff hanging from its neck? Wouldn’t the extra weight make it hard to fly? Why does it have such a smug facial expression? And this bird isn’t just weird-looking: It has mediocre stats, it’s a huge pain to catch, and it bullies other, cuter monsters. If I didn’t care about completing my dex, I wouldn’t have bothered to catch Fezandipiti in the first place.

Blade Wolf from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Yeah, I know, I know... not a real animal. But it's a friggin' talking, fighting beast with a chainsaw on it's back, how cool is that? And yeah, I'm a sucker for Metal Gear games, so I had to nominate him

Welcome to Rostach, also known as the Forlorn City. The flames of war loom on the horizon. A long-buried secret is about to surface… 📆 Duration: After maintenance on November 14th - December 11th, 18:00 (UTC-7)

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.

Starfield is designed to be a million different things at the same time. It’s a sci-fi adventure story about searching the galaxy for alien artifacts, and it’s also a weird western where you can foil bank robbers and become a space sheriff. There are dogfights with space pirates, gun battles with dinosaurs, and terrifying axe battles with robot dogs. If I need some quick cash, I can board and loot enemy ships, do a little bounty hunting, or try my hand at drug-smuggling. 

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.

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.

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

SHOULD I PLAY BORN OF BREAD? Born of Bread feels like an unofficial successor to the Paper Mario series, so if you’re a fan of those games, you’ll definitely want to check it out. There were times when I thought Born of Bread could’ve used a little more time in the oven, but I was still won over by its playful dialogue and loveable cast of characters. If you dig games with a wacky, silly sense of humor, this is going to charm you too.

Auto Animal Chess is a turn-based auto battler game set in the fantasy world of Olyn Island.

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.
