This was a beautiful and quick game that I played through. I would recommend it as I love puzzles and while some sections of the game were a bit confusing, once you get the hang of it, not a bad play through. I prefer to play puzzle games and this one was definitely a hide and go seek type that I found intriguing. It also had a touching story and I am excited to see what else they do.

HIDDEN GEM ALERT!

This game is one of those hidden gems, and I would definitely recommend to anyone who is a puzzle fiend and likes adventure. Most of the adventure is pretty straightforward; you have to think, but it doesn't feel like any of the puzzles are impossible to complete. The achievements for the game are also pretty easy to get, but they do have some hidden achievements that I did have to go through a second playthrough to finish out.

THIS IS A HIDDEN GEM!

The storyline is fantastic, and I love the adventure and puzzle aspects! The beautiful graphics ABSOLUTELY make this game! The flight mechanic is also really cool, and I definitely spent more time than necessary just flying around because it was just that much fun!

The puzzles are pretty straightforward, and there aren't any points where I felt like I didn't know what to do next or couldn't solve a puzzle, which is definitely something I want in a cozy, carefree game. The other thing I really liked about this game was that it had the adventure, but there wasn't any fighting.

If you are on the fence, then I would definitely encourage buying it! :)

This is such a cute game. I will be honest that I am a bit of a black thumb. I love plants, but I just can't keep any of them alive! That is definitely one of the things I love about this game: It doesn't matter if I forget about my plants for a month; they are all still able to be revived!

It is definitely a cute little game to check in and play for a couple of minutes a day! :)

Can I just say GORGEOUS!!!

But seriously, the art style and story arc are so well done that I don't notice the time passing. I am still working through the storyline, but I am in awe of how beautiful this game is. When I first got it I was a little worried that it would be one of those games that I start and finish in a week. But I can safely say that this game should keep you VERY BUSY for A LONG TIME.

I really love this game, and even once I finish the main storyline you better believe that I am going to play back through to pick up all those pesky unfinished achievements! :)

I am all for hidden object games, but what I REALLY LOVED about this game was that it was more interactive than traditional hidden games. With Hidden Lands, you get to spin the maps and zoom in and out, which you will need if you want to spot all the differences. I also loved the fact that there were THREE different landscapes that you had to work through. My favorite was definitely Pharoah's Land since I really like the MUMMY.

The other great thing about this is that even after you finish each of the discrete levels, they also give the option for endless, which is actually one of the achievements I am working through right now. Definitely a go-to game to relax and have a mellow gaming day. :)

I recently encountered this game at a game night with friends. I was super confused at first, but I actually REALLY enjoyed the game. I didn't feel like dropping 50 bucks on the actual board game, but in this version, I get to keep the fun going and improve my own skills!

You do need to make an account with Catan, but after that, you get to go through the tutorials and a test game for each of the versions. After that, you get two free temporary "suns", i.e., game credits, which can be used for any of the versions. You also have a permanent sun which refreshes everyday. I also discovered that you can do FREE matches of the original game with other players.

You can get immersed into this game a heck ton and really boost your level, or just use it as a way to refresh the rules and prep for the next game night! I am ready to take the next Catan match by fire since I have gotten so much practice! :)

Recently, I have really gotten into hidden puzzle games, and since I have two cats, I enjoy hunting for fluffy friends. 100 Cats have TONS of free games like New York, and I have played through most of them at some point. If you want a fun, quick, free, relaxing hide-and-seek game, then you should give it a shot. :)

Stardew is THE CASUAL farming game. It allows you to take the little farming community at whatever pace suits you best.

I love the action and exploration aspects of the game, focusing on foraging and exploring the mines. However, having the option to build up my farm and care for ADORABLE critters on the farm.

If you love casual farming sims, then Stardew is for you. It has something to offer anyone and is the perfect game to relax after work.

This was a great game to play. I loved the relaxing farming and cozy feeling, and the added fun of the tarot card dynamic was quite enjoyable!

Even after completing the main storyline, there's a wealth of satisfying activities to engage in. From grinding through the game's achievements to the joy of town decoration, there's always a sense of accomplishment waiting for you.

Littlewood is a game that truly empowers you. With its vast freedom to choose what to focus on, it caters to everyone's unique gaming preferences. While I yearned for more exploration, the game's relaxing nature still makes it a great choice for unwinding.

My ratings for the game:
Complexity 7/10:
Once you get a handle on the basic gameplay, it will not be very complex and will be pretty straightforward. For some sections, you might have to do some research, such as the flower breeding and cooking recipes

Coziness 9/10:
It's a very cozy game. There aren't any sections that take away from the cozy small-town feeling. If you like Stardew, then you will also like this game, as they have similar vibes, but Littlewood has a simpler mechanic system.

Repeatability 8/10:
I actually had to restart since I had a computer issue, and my first save file got wiped. Even having to restart from scratch, I found that this game was still a lot of fun to restart. While choices don't make a big difference, I did find that having gone through the sections before, I was able to better plan out where I spent my dewdrops and placed people's houses more effectively.
