Luma Island drops stamina/inventory limits and while keeping you busy with lots to do, but lacks depth. Cozy, polished, and best in co-op. Great to relax with, just don’t expect much substance. 7/10

Great visuals and fun combat with creative weapons, but movement occasional glitches and underused mechanics hold it back. Best picked up on sale. Final: 7/10

Free 2D puzzle game with anime demon waifus and a great soundtrack. Clever puzzles mix with bullet-hell dodging I enjoyed even more than the puzzles. Very short, but fun. 7/10

Beacon Pines is a cozy, creepy visual novel with charming art, lovable characters and smart branching paths. Short but satisfying, it’s great for newcomers to the genre and a fun mystery. 9/10

Fun fantasy cleanup game with clever dungeons, traps and puzzles that stay exciting. Great level variety, co-op friendly, and lots of early access promise. 8/10

Solar Ash mixes Shadow of Colossus vibes with Jet Set Radio movement. Gorgeous worlds and speedrun flow shine, but combat can be a little janky and story is a little shallow. Best bought on sale. 8/10

Slept-on gem: Gritty Hong Kong streets, undercover-cop story, and fun martial-arts brawling. Looks dated, meh radio, but with a frequent ~85% discount with all DLC, it’s an easy buy. 8/10

Animal Well is a gorgeous, puzzle-focused Metroidvania with vibrant pixel art, clever secrets, calming vibes, and insane depth for a 33MB game. Short but unforgettable. 9/10

A cute, cozy shop sim with fun checkout mechanics and gentle progression, but shallow systems and dull NPCs limit its charm. Worth a look on sale, less so at full price. 7/10

New Super Lucky’s Tale is a polished, cute, and relaxing platformer with great art and smooth controls. It’s easy, but fun, varied, and perfect if you want a chill, family-friendly adventure. 8/10
