“Dawnfolk makes for a fun casual city-building experience in a genre usually restricted to hardcore gamers.”

“I recommend Tiny Glade for any lovers of cozy games, city builders, sandbox games, or playing with LEGOs. It’s beautiful, chill, and full of heart. It does exactly what it needs to, and is so smartly designed it seems to predict what you are trying to do while you’re figuring it out yourself. I can tell I will be spending many more hours building these beautiful diorama worlds. Can we build it? Yes we can!”

“Despite boring story segments, this game finds great humor and ultra-malleable gameplay that breathes fresh air into tactics games.”

“This grief management simulator is not for the faint of heart; be prepared for every agonizing minute of every day that follows death.”

“While the film making simulator is fun, it's both lacking in content and buried under a huge, boring management simulator that dilutes the magic of movies.”

“While far too complex for genre newbies, anyone looking for a fantasy take on Fallout Shelter should look no further.”

“While relaxing and pretty, Summerhouse features no progression and very little content. I've built all there is to build.”

“The Pale Reach is as good a reason as any to dip back into one of the best indie games of the year, but it falters in a lack of content, interesting narrative, and scares.”

“With some of the worst writing, voice acting, dialogue, and misleads in the history of video games, this rip-off of Danganronpa is an achievement unto itself.”

“While it doesn't offer much new to management games, Nova Lands perfects and streamlines automation in a variety of clever ways.”

“The beautiful art and relaxing music of Outlanders can't save it from totally busted systems, constant softlocking, and exceedingly poor UI design choices.”

“With beautiful visuals reminiscent of Warcraft, the smartest and most versatile city-building I've ever seen, and addictive mechanics will keep you up til 3 AM, Against the Storm is city-building, rogue-likes, and real time strategy at their heights.”

“While a little overburdened with systems and a glaring glossing over of the rampant sex trafficking and drug deaths that are a direct result of the real cartels, Cartel Tycoon is a polished management sim with intuitive UI and great visuals. If you want to feel like you're the star of Netflix's Narcos, you've come to the right place.”

“The original Doki Doki Literature Club is a phenomenal horror title, but loses a lot of the elements that made it so impressive on its translation to consoles.”

“While the cute creatures and whimsical art are enough to make it somewhat enjoyable, Alekon falls short of its direct inspiration Pokemon Snap on every single note.”

“Blind Drive offers a solid and funny arcade romp that can be played just the same by blind and sighted gamers, but the fun wears off pretty quickly with repetitive gameplay.”

“Airborne Kingdom is a cozy, comfortable delight that mixes management and exploration flawlessly; the focus is not on keeping your citizens alive while crossing the open world, but keeping them fulfilled and thriving.”

“AWE builds on the best parts of Control to deliver a gorgeous and terrifying survival horror experience.”

“Gorgeous visuals don't quite make up for innacurate and clunky platforming.”

“Neversong pulls inspiration from many great works to create an equally wholesome and terrifying examination of human Guilt.”
