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...

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 ...

The Berlin Apartment – Playstation 5 Review

They say that a house holds memories and every memory is a story to tell. Blue Backpack uses their new release to explore the sombre reality of Berlin through different eras through a quaint little Berlin Apartment. This narrative focused game takes you through the lives of Josef (1933), Mathilda (1945), Kolja (1989) and Tonia (1967). Available on the PS Store for £19.99, we took a step into The Berlin Apartment to see whether this game deserves a place in your collection. One Apartment, Many Stories, Much Heart Gameplay As a narrative-driven story, the gameplay of The Berlin Apartment is pretty simplistic. You use the analogue stick to move around along with R2 to interact with the environment. However, this simplistic approach works in the game's favour. Absorbing the story is mu...

Dream Garden – PC Review

Dream Garden is simulation game about creating your very own Zen garden. Developer Campfire Studio (My Dream Setup) provides the creative tools and set pieces based on real-life, tiny, Japanese dioramas. You can pick it up now for PC (and Mac) on Steam. Zen Garden of your Dream I never really got into any crafting type of hobbies, and miniature Zen gardens and bonsai trees were only things I saw in movies and TV. However, I'm intrigued by Dream Garden, as it seems like a way to engage with that type of craft in a familiar format. Check out my thoughts below. Gameplay Dream Garden is a creative simulation space for modelling a miniature Zen garden. The game provides a number of tools to shape, colour, texture, and decorate your choice of background and sandbox. It's basically like a...

Comic Book Store Simulator – PC Preview

Comic Book Store Simulator is a small shop-management game where you step into the shoes of a comic shop owner trying to keep a niche business alive. Developed by Akhir Pekan Studio and published by PlayWay S.A., the game tasks you with organizing your store, dealing with thieves, and juggling the constant flow of sales and restocks. I played it on PC, and overall, the game runs rather smoothly with only a couple of minor wrinkles. Organizing the Chaos Running a comic book store might at first sound a bit dull, but as anyone who has spent some considerable amount of time in these nerd dungeons will tell you, it is anything but. As a comic book store crawler myself, I found it intriguing to see the store from the other side of the counter. Let's explore the magic behind running a geek lai...

Becastled – PC Review

Every so often, a new real-time strategy game pops up to remind us that the genre still has a pulse, and a damn good one at that. With Becastled (out now on Steam, GOG, Xbox, Switch, and Playstation), developer Mana Potion Studios and publisher Pingle Studio Ltd bring us something refreshingly earnest: a medieval city-builder that fuses cosy creativity with nightly chaos. It’s rare to see a new RTS try something different these days. Between massive 4X empires and military micromanagement simulators, few dare to find that sweet spot between Age of Empires’ depth and Kingdom Two Crowns’ immediacy. But Becastled gives it a proper go, and it’s good to see someone still flying the RTS flag in 2025. Becastled - Be Crowned It’s heartening to see a small team take risks in a genre often dominat...
