Genre: Simulator
Goes from chill to chaos real quick. Super fun, satisfying, beautiful to look at and can get really challenging. Arguably better as a mobile game, but it works either way.
A remnant of its time, when games-with-awkward-controls was a big thing. It’s fun though, if you can get into the silliness of it. Challenging but relatively short in a welcome way.
It’s that game you wheel out (after Beat Saber) when you’re demoing VR for someone who’s never tried it. Does what it needs to do.
Decent follow-up to Her Story. Great production, but some of the magic is gone: it’s not as immersive and some of the writing is a struggle. That said, definitely play if you love FMV games.
Almost impenetrably opaque to begin with, but if you can stick with the overwhelming UI & novel concept, it’s phenomenally creative and impressive. Super expressive, crazy-high skill ceiling. Awesome.
Colourful, charming and frantic with a unique personality, Slime Rancher walks a line between relaxing and repetitive. If you’re into cute farming, adventuring and a bit of management, it’s for you.
[Early Access] While feeling a bit like just Slime Rancher 1.5, it seems to improve on everything from the original, with extra delightful polish. Will depend on development, but fun so far.
A really fun balance of roguelike dungeon crawling and Animal Crossing colony sim inside a slick package of stunning art and great music. Bit buggy at launch, but still great and ripe for expansion.
Combine cards into new ones, earn gold, buy card packs, start a village and survive as long as you can. Starts off chilled and cosy but can get hectic and challenging.
The genre-defining browser classic comes to Steam, bringing all its apocalyptic Grandma madness along with it. If you didn’t dedicate a browser tab to this for thousands of hours, you didn’t live.
