Stardew Valley is a cozy life sim released way back in 2016 by Concerned Ape. It took the world by a storm then, and it’s still going strong now (and growing), even after almost ten years. What’s even more impressive — this game was developed fully by one man who had no formal training in … Read more
Games like Subnautica are out there — you just have to know what you liked best about it. Was it the survival, or the deep sea scenery or the slow burn exploration, or maybe even the quiet horror of it all? Whatever your answer might be, I’ve got you covered. In this list, I’ve rounded … Read more
I didn’t expect much when I first launched Subnautica. Just another survival game, right? Turns out, I was wrong. What I got instead was one of the most unique and oddly immersive survival experiences I’ve ever played. There’s no combat-heavy intro, no flashy tutorial, it’s just you, a busted lifepod, and a massive alien ocean … Read more
Pixel art games used to be a necessary evil, but now they’re a style of its own, and quite popular too. To be honest, I wasn’t a big fan when this trend took off. It might be “vintage” to some people, but it transported me back to barely working consoles or TV games. In my … Read more
Dave the Diver is one of those games you try on a whim and suddenly it’s 2AM and you’re running a sushi bar with a harpoon gun in your inventory. It mixes deep-sea diving, light-hearted management sim chaos, and an absurd sense of humor into something way more addictive than it has any right to … Read more
Anime games are a perfect antidote to the endless suffering of waiting for the new season of your favorite anime to come out. The wait until the new season is often long, and in some cases, the anime is done, and there will never be more. Which is depressing, I know. People keep recommending manga … Read more
Space games often fly under my radar, if I’m honest. When I’m picking a game to play, I almost always reach for something set in a fantasy world. It’s what I grew up with, and let’s face it, nothing beats a good sword-swinging, magic-filled adventure. Plus, it feels like there are just more fantasy games … Read more
FMV games (of, full motion video) feel like watching and playing a choose-your-own-adventure film (and if you haven’t heard of them before, that’s okay! We go over everything below). They sort of had their heyday in the ‘90s, they’ve been quietly coming back, thanks to indie developers and improved video technology. In this article, we’ll … Read more
Celeste is more than just a tough platformer, it’s one of those games that feels perfectly tuned, where every jump, dash, and wall climb clicks just right. The difficulty ramps up fast, but the instant restarts and tight controls make each challenge feel fair, even when it’s throwing everything at you. There’s a story running … Read more
PC puzzle games are fun and brain-teasing, and perfect for when you want something challenging but perhaps not as stressful as FPS games or something like that. And to be honest, there’s something incredibly satisfying about cracking a tough puzzle. But let’s face it: not all puzzles are created equal and some are generally not … Read more
