Very Stardew Valley (don't know which came first). A couple of the mechanics are tricky to figure out, but eventually I got the hang of how to do it all (didn't see the arrows at the Tavern for ages). Sweet and gentle, and an enjoyable place to hang out and spend time.

Absolutely charming. I held off for so long because Retro graphics, why? But it works perfectly for this. You can do as much or as little as you like (if you want a small garden that requires little upkeep, go for it) ... there's no minimum to stay alive, etc., So if you wanted to raise nothing and just wander and visit, that's fine too. Calming and sweet, a great antidote to what I normally play which feels tense and urgent.

Fun, irreverent, zippy.

Captures (actually, exceeds) the feeling of the popular board game. Soothing music and sound effects, gorgeous depictions of the bird habitats--it's far exceeded my expectations.
