Holly Byrdonis, it's finally here! First impressions: the same old Slay the Spire, now packed with even more content.

Easily one of the most relaxing yet meaningful games in recent memory. It can also be an eye‑opening experience for younger kids, showing them how human actions impact the environment we all rely on.

Stranded in an alien ocean, a generation ship sets the stage for a heartfelt and imaginative slow-burn adventure, complete with the captain’s silly kakapo, plenty of comedy, and bluglglgl.

Brace yourself for Stendhal Syndrome followed by an existential crisis. A pinnacle of story-telling and music, Clair Obscur will take your breath away more than once.

I would dare to say this (swim) bird is one of the best puzzle games of a decade!

Reverence for FTL and Slay the Spire is apparent. Even if derivative, Cobalt Core is still a worthy take.

Do not count on Donut County if you expect a serious challenge. It is a goofy, hole-some puzzle game to make you laugh.

It is a Slay the Spire clone with exactly one gimmick. Better look into Balatro, Dicey Dungeons, or Slay the Spire itself.

Striking art style and thought-provoking world-in-a-world puzzlery make this game a rare jewel. My only regret is that there are no flying mechanics despite a winged beetle protagonist.

With Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away among its core influences, Neva is just too beautiful. Don't forget to track down all the hidden birds!
