KuloNiku: Bowl Up! PC Review

KuloNiku: Bowl Up! is Casual, Indie, Simulator from the same minds from Knight vs Giants, Gambir Studio. With the well known publisher Raw Fury. The same company that helped release Two Crowns, one very addictive game that I have over 100 hours in. KuloNiku is honestly inspiring me to make some interesting and tasty dishes. Yet, I've been really curious about the meatballs recipe that grandma made for the Protag to use. Now, let's get ready to chop some chilis, add some meatballs and start this review. Who comes into a ramen to ask for no soup in there ramen?! There's an Olive Oil Greenhouse down the road! Order up! KuloNiku: Bowl Up! has us starting by choosing the name and gender of the Protag.

The House of Hikmah – PC Review

Have you ever played a video game inspired by the golden age of Arabic scientific and cultural development? Would you like to? The House of Hikmah is a 3D puzzle-platformer developed and published by Lunacy Studios, in their grand debut. Lunacy is an interesting studio: an independent, fully-remote, junior-built team dedicated to making diverse, narrative-heavy stories. Will Lunacy's ethically-sourced games nudge out a healthy space in a crowded market that can't even support Fortnite? Well, based on the experience I, a pasty white boy who is most certainly not part of the target audience, had with it, I believe they can. The House of Hikmah is a short, comfortable, well-crafted experience, like drinking a bowl of homemade soup. But what makes it so satisfying? The Key To Success ...

Lost and Found Co. – PC Review

Hidden object games have had a big resurgence in the last few years, from the simplistic to the multi-layered. Lost and Found Co. manages to be both. A cosy Where’s Wally?-style spot-a-thon from Bit Egg Inc., sees the past and present collide on various levels in a wholesome adventure. The ancient goddess of war, Mei Long, suffers from dwindling faith, with fewer and fewer visitors to her shrine every day. What's worse, a shadowy yet up-and-coming corporate figure seems to be involved. With the help of duckling-turned-young-boy Ducky and the questionable merchant Kit, Mei must renew people's faith by finding lost valuables. All while being stuck in cute, tiny dragon form. A Throwback With Bells & Whistles On Back in the mid-2000s, three things were certain about me. I was determined ...

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...

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 ...
