The Coin Game – PC Review

The Coin Game is a survival sandbox arcade simulator created by solo developer devotid and published by Kwalee. It released in early access in 2019 and has been steadily updated leading up to its 1.0 release. It's available on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, and today I'll be reviewing the PC version. Life Is Cheap. Tickets Are Cheaper. As a young lad I spent many of my formative years at my local arcade, a joint called (and I'm not making this up) the "Fun Park". It had everything a child could ever want: a giant playplace that smelled like feet; comically cheesy pizza; a bizarre 1950s tiki-party aesthetic; and, of course, a dozen rigged arcade machines that spat out tickets, spent on penny sweets and cheap stuffed animals at an obscene markup. It was paradise. Some days, I wish I could g...

Pokopia – Switch 2 Review

Lil Gator Game: Gator of the Year – PS5 Review

After first diving into our games libraries in 2022, Lil Gator Game is back in the Gator of the Year edition which includes the main game and the In the Dark DLC. Megawobble's cozy family adventure bubbled to the surface of the Playstation store for a £17.49 for PS Plus members or for £24.99 for non-members. Adventure is this way Lil Gator!

Unfortunately for you, she's still got school work coming out of her ears (do alligators have those?) and no time to play. From that little story set up, Lil Gator Game rolls straight into the bulk of the story. Explore an open world island full...

Tiny Garden – Switch Review

Tiny Garden, a cozy gardening game developed by Ao Norte and published by Super Rare Originals, has finally made its way onto the Switch on February 26th! This version includes all currently available DLCs, including the Summer Breeze Cosmetic Pack and the Supporter's Pack, adding a lot more customization to the game. I choose you! I've heard a ton of great things about Tiny Garden back when it released for PC, so I jumped at the opportunity to get my hands on the newly released Switch version! Most cozy games will eventually make their way to the Switch, but really, some ports are more "miss" than "hit". Do you have any games that you would love to see ported? Or maybe any ports that you were extremely disappointed by? Let me know in the comments! Gameplay Tiny Garden begins by ha...

Packing Life – PC Review

A new little sim has come to me named Packing Life, it was created by the team at Aroko Game Studio. And has us step into the character Lily as she packs up orders, while unloading a sweet story for you. Packing Life is out now on Steam, and has a demo available too, just in case you wish to try before you buy. If you do purchase Packing Life, it is more on the cheaper side, at the cost of £8.50. Everyone loves parcels, even the packers. Gameplay Packing Life is all about organizing items to fit into the various boxes. The game lets you know which size via the little monitor. We then begin to package products to fit, similar to Tetris without the speed. Before you do begin playing Packing Life offers the player two modes. Relaxing which removes the in-game timer, or normal - with the ...

Cosy Caravan – PC Review

Cosy Caravan is a cute little game about spreading happiness, by helping out, and making grub. Sounds like my kinda place! If you are looking for a whole new cosy game about travelling with a giant fluffy bumblebee. Then this game might be for you. Cosy Caravan is out now on Steam for £16.75. Nothing wrong with spreading joy. Gameplay Cosy Caravan, let us create our own cute little character who is then asked by their aunt for help. As she is busy preparing for a festival. After a short, but brief tutorial, we set off with our friend Bubba - the frog. And the large but chunky boi, Rigby, who is a large bumblebee who pulls your caravan. So far I don't think Cosy Caravan has an actual goal to work towards. We do start of as rookies to the guild, but this seems more like a placeholder mo...

Piece By Piece – PC Review

Pick up your super glue because it's time to get fixing in Gamkat's debut game Piece By Piece. Releasing today, we got our hands on the game early to see whether it's a perfect piece or the cracks are showing. You can get Piece by Piece on Steam now! Everything's a jigsaw when you have to put it back together piece by piece Gameplay Like with most cosy games, Piece By Piece starts with you inheriting grandad's old shop. From there, it is up to you to make the most of what you've got. The main gameplay comes from interacting with customers and fixing up whatever broken item they bring. Fixing the items is like putting a puzzle together. The game breaks every item into pieces, and you put it back together. It's a very simple mechanic, but it is done really well. However, it's ...

Collector’s Cove – PC Review

I will be checking out a new cosy game by VooDooDuck. We play as a Collector, in Collector's Cove, who aims to be the best and hopefully meet our parents one day. Before that can happen we need to team up with our new aquatic friend, the FableFin and fill up our book. It looks relaxing, and something to switch off your brain too. If that sounds like something you need, then it is out on Steam now! Gotta plant'em all, collect-a-thon! Gameplay The whole aim of the game is to collect various fish and plants to fill your compendium. Collector's Cove keeps this interesting by giving each fish/plant their own fabled variant. Which is uncovered by obtaining the same item a couple of times. Since the game is meant to be relaxing, this is not that hard to do, thanks to shops and the easy...
