PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you enjoy peaceful games, even if you’re not big on online multiplayer. Even though Palia is an MMO, it has more in common with life sims than games like World of Warcraft. It’s a laid-back game filled with relaxing activities, like farming, crafting, and fishing. There’s no combat, no fail states, and there’s never any time pressure, so I felt free to explore the game at my own pace. It’s filled with multiplayer activities, but I also had tons of fun playing solo.

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

Sometimes you want to play a cozy game where you run a restaurant, and sometimes you want to play a challenging action-RPG about exploring a dungeon. But what if you could play both at that same time? Challenge accepted by Cuisineer! This new cozy roguelite has players trying to run a hit restaurant in order to pay off your parents' debt. But making a five-star restaurant requires the best ingredients, and the only way you'll find those is by going deep into a number of procedurally generated dungeons and fighting the monsters you find there.

What a wonderful experience the game is, the beautiful art style, the soothing sounds, plus the touching storyline. I'm quite fond of the simple puzzle mechanics wrapped in beautiful art, this game is perfect to play before bedtime or just to find peace (with the original soundtrack of course). I'm absolutely blown away by the game, I'm so thankful for the team's hard work!!! I wish I could find a similar game like this and I really love the soundtrack. I highly recommend that you play this game!

Starfield is a pile of mismatched puzzle pieces that don’t quite fit together. That might sound like harsh criticism, but there are plenty of times when its disjointed nature works in the game’s favor. There are a million things to do in Starfield at any given point in time, so when one aspect of the game wasn’t working for me, I could just focus on something else. Directing my attention towards a specific gameplay mechanic or subplot usually made

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.

I’ve now been playing the game for a little while now to make a proper review, I wanna say it’s really enjoyable despite not having voice acting when it comes to the story..I kinda got disappointed there..BUUUUUUT other than that is really enjoyable! The dialog itself is kinda slow when you are reading it until you tap again to see the full dialog but it kinda has a little bit of a delaye when it comes to show everything..if you can pass that I think you’ll enjoy the game, it has a combat system too! The characters are well made and beautifully made! I could’ve sworn there was a first version of this series but I can’t seem to find it anywhere? Correct me if I’m wrong but I think this game is the second part of this series. I like it and you should try it your yourself and be the own judge of that 🥰

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

Bridge reappear is a Match 3 puzzle bridged with rpg adventure. It's fun and nostalgic as it reminds of candy crush. Also it has to be played strategically as the next move depends on which item has been matched, such as, heal or attack and so on. The enemies get stronger along with the progression, but one thing i really miss is an ultimate power attack. It would be really fun to have something like rage, or combo.

DANMACHI BATTLE CHRONICLE, IS IT WORTH IT? Hey There! Well, I'm back at it again with a new mobile game, as today I'll be covering DanMachi BATTLE CHRONICLE. As a long-time follower of the show, I was a fair bit curious to see how the world was treated, and just how well they could translate it to a  stage-based Hack n' Slash. And as far as my first impressions go? It's not that bad, really.  For those familiar with the story, it runs players through summary-size versions of the various arcs, throwing players through various bite-sized battle stages, and interspersing them with enough story segments to tell the story. Obviously, the narrative does suffer a touch for this- but, given it's appealing to people already familiar with the show, I wasn't overly bothered. Frankly, I was here to beat up monsters- and on that front, the combat isn't too bad. Each of the various characters you unlock has a basic combo, as well as a pair of skills and an ultimate attack that charges as you whack monsters. What's more, you're able to bring up to 3 playable characters into each dungeon dive- so there's a neat bit of strategy involved with figuring out who you want to bring in based on their skills, elemental affinities - or, whoever you feel will prevail with the power of violence. Overall, it's decent enough- though, the way enemies' defence and offence scale if you're under-levelled, in tandem with the time limit on stages, does make things a bit aggravating at times. Also, PVP turns the game into an auto-battler, which is an admittedly weird design decision.

👍 Pros: super cute, mood changer, unique and new game design and gameplay, feel good, easy to play and understand, relaxing vibe 👎 Cons: not many except i didn't like the connect to Facebook thing for adding friends and events

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?

Really have vibes of Animal Crossing, but in fantasy world with different races. Will definitely wait for more updates and hope for real time and seasons.

Back Again, with your latest bit of Indie Investigating. This time, it's Team 17 Digital's darkly funny narrative title 'Killer Frequency'- which takes the campy idea of a Slash Plot, and has a good bit of fun with it. Tune In, Check Out, Leave a Not-So-Pretty Corpse While there's plenty of stories in Gallows Creek- none invoke quite as much fear as that of 'The Whistling Man', a serial killer who ran rampant in the 50's, before the police were finally able to put him down.

SHOULD I PLAY COMBO CARD CLASHERS? Definitely give this demo a try, especially if you like card games. Combo Card Clashers merges the fun, strategic experience of deck-builders with the randomized gameplay of roguelikes. Similar to games like Slay the Spire, this combo allows for plenty of twists and endless possibilities.

We love cozy games around here, and it doesn't get much cozier than games like Stardew Valley and Story of Seasons. There's nothing more relaxing than building up a farm, harvesting crops, and getting to know townspeople. On the other hand, sometimes when we're playing a cozy game, we want a little more to keep us busy—like creature collecting or turn-based RPG battles. If you feel the same, it's time to meet

In Animash, players wield the power of fusion, combining two elements – whether objects, creatures, or electronics – to create something entirely new.

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.

SHOULD I PLAY MOONSTONE ISLAND? If you’re a fan of cozy life sims, this is a must-play. Moonstone Island gave me so much to do—there’s farming, creature collecting, decorating, deck-building, and more—but it never felt messy or overwhelming. The final package is a near-perfect combination of some of my favorite games of all time. It’s got the relaxing vibes of Stardew Valley, the decorating tools of
