SHOULD I PLAY SILENT HOPE? Definitely give this one a chance if you’re looking for a surprisingly relaxing, grindy dungeon-crawler, but maybe skip it if you mainly go to RPGs for the story. Silent Hope goes back to the absolute basics of the Japanese RPG formula, with a crew of seven mute heroes, each representing a different class, journeying into a multi-level abyss to save a fallen kingdom. By sticking to the fundamentals, the game is able to focus on making the characters and world charming as hell and the core gameplay streamlined and solid.

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.

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.

The ones who's looking for English version: you can select it after you enter the game. It's relaxing and very cute. I love how every cat have their own personality and favorites. There are interesting toys, lots of cats and sweet moments. I recommend you to play it in the breaks of studying. I use pomodoro technique for studying and every 40 mins, I take a break and see how my cats are doin. Thanks for the game

SHOULD I PLAY LIGHTYEAR FRONTIER? If you’re a fan of farming and crafting games, you should definitely add this title to your wishlist. Lightyear Frontier is an open world farming game with a sci-fi twist. After landing on a distant planet, you can build a homestead, farm alien crops, and restore the local ecosystem. I had a great time playing through the demo on my own, and I can’t wait to try the multiplayer when the full game is out.

I've been a huge fan of Yacht Club's retro love letter Shovel Knight since it first released in 2014, but I had yet to try out the puzzle game spin-off, Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon. Now that Pocket Dungeon is out on mobile via Netflix, I've run out of excuses to avoid giving it a try. Good news: It totally rules. Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon once again put me in control of the delightful and heroic Shovel Knight, along with some other Knight friends I could unlock as I found them hidden away in shrines. This time, though, instead of working my way through NES-style platforming levels, I was led through a series of, well, pocket dungeons by the mysterious Puzzle Knight.

Life Makeover might be lacking in originality, but it's still an incredibly addictive dress-up game. Even though it just launched, it's absolutely packed with content. From putting together outfits for challenges to creating unique designs to solving murders, there's so much to do that it's almost impossible to stop playing. It's hard to talk about Life Makeover without mentioning another dress-up and life simulation game,

SHOULD YOU PLAY LOVE AND DEEPSPACE? Play it if you like dating sims and don’t mind a little bit of combat. Love and Deepspace is a 3D sci-fi epic that mixes dating sim mechanics with real-time action-RPG battles, but based on my experiences, the game definitely emphasizes love over action. I ran into some minor issues during my playthrough, but my experience was really positive overall. The game looks fantastic and the love interests are all extremely charming. This is developed by Papermoon, who has also made titles like

With its unique characters, addicting gameplay, and relaxing music, This story-based puzzler has a lot going for it. Linea: an innerlight game was easy to grasp, and I could quickly get into it as I waited for the bus to class. Linea combines narrative gameplay with puzzle-solving elements. Each puzzle I solved unlocked bits of dialogue that ultimately led to a completed story. Each story had different characters with different narrative plots, so exploring new short stories was cool as I helped each character reach their goal through the gameplay.

The Tale of Food is a cozy gacha RPG that, true to its name, revolves around food. It's set in a universe where the most delicious meals take on human form and become "Food Souls." As the heir of the Food God, it's your job to protect these human delicacies and travel the world in search of more souls. Lots of gacha games revolve around collecting waifus, but the collectible characters in Tale of Food are male. You can even give them gifts, which makes it feel a bit like an otome game. Some Food Souls have great designs, but I never felt pressured to spend money to collect more characters. I was able to build a solid party through standard gameplay.

SHOULD I PLAY LITTLE NIGHTMARES ON MOBILE? Play it, but use a controller if you can. Little Nightmares is a terrific puzzle adventure game, and the mobile version looks fantastic, but the touchscreen controls can be difficult to deal with. Thankfully, the game offers full controller support, so if you’re struggling to push a chair or jump over a large gap, you can switch over to something smoother. Even if you don’t have a controller to play with, this creepy-yet-cozy game is worth a closer look.

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.

SHOULD I PLAY PALEO PINES? If you’re looking for a cute, cozy game, you’ll have a hard time finding something cuter or cozier than this! Paleo Pines is a farm sim with an amazing twist: you have a pet dinosaur. When I wasn’t busy watering crops, I could hop on my dino and ride into town. Paleo Pines is a little buggy, and the controls are kind of clunky, but I still thought it was a lot of fun. TIME PLAYED

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you love crafting or want to get into the Atelier series. Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg is a new and improved version of the very first Atelier game. It feels a little light on features when compared to the latest games in the franchise, but it has a streamlined approach to alchemy that makes it a great jumping on point. I’m a longtime Atelier fan, and it felt awesome to go back to the series’ roots and see where it all began.

Additionally, I felt the need for having features such as next goals and tasks that would help players better understand their progress.

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

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it! Crime O’Clock is a cartoony puzzle point-and-click investigation game about agents that go back in time to find clues and solve crimes before they’re even committed.

TIME PLAYED I played Crime O’Clock

SHOULD I PLAY WYTCHWOOD ON MOBILE? Definitely check it out if you haven’t already played it on other platforms. Wytchwood is a cozy crafting game with some seriously spooky vibes. I tested the game on iPhone and Android, and both versions ran perfectly. Moving around and navigating menus is a breeze, and the colorful, creepy visuals look absolutely stunning. It’s the perfect game to play on a dark, stormy night.
