Infinity Nikki is an open world RPG based around being a stylist and dressing your avatar to enter styling competitions. Along the way, you’ll meet new friends who need your help solving mysteries and fighting corruption. First impressions, I expected a tween girl cringefest – so much pink, pretty, cutesy and an initial galaxy sequence…
Chibis come from Japan, meaning “tiny“ or “little“. Heads are bigger than the body (sometimes the entire head can fit into the rest of the body). Everyone basically looks like a baby or a child. Supposed to be cute, kept rather simplistic. While it is mostly popular in Anime, western cartoons also have chibi-like art…
Tiny Pasture is an idle pet farming sim that runs at the bottom of the desktop screen while you’re doing other tasks. The pets have sprite animations which run around and nap. It looked cute, so I gave it a whirl and I am now addicted. #SendHelp Look, objectively it’s not a great game. The…
Let Them Trade is a real time strategy trading game with a hex-tiled map design, think the board game Catan. You build cities, set up trade routes and send your knights to go scout new lands. I only got to play the demo in the press release which is essentially the game’s tutorial. It wasn’t…
The wait is finally over, and Nintendo have sprinkled a little extra magic with the official reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2! Announced during the Nintendo Direct, the beloved hybrid console is getting a gorgeous upgrade and we are here for it. With a bigger screen, dreamy graphics and shiny new features, it feels like the Switch…
Volcano Princess is a choices matter, cute RPG where you play a father raising his daughter. The game goes through various life stages until she reaches 16 and leaves home. My favourite thing about this game is the large amount of content and replayability. If anything, at 12 hours per playthrough, it could be argued…
Death and Taxes is a quirky, choices matter sim where you play an office based reaper, deciding who dies from the comfort of your desk, before popping along to the pub for drinks with your colleagues. As a concept, it’s fabulous. Your boss is an enigma, providing instructions which make little sense. He does have…
The Promise Mascot Agency is a yakuza inspired RPG where the player trains mascots for a dying town. This is in an attempt to redeem themselves in the eyes of the family boss. It’s a very different game to anything I have played before and the most similar game I can think of is Need…
Cult of the Lamb is an occultist action adventure which sees a Lamb entice a cult of cute creatures, willing to worship and die at your command. With base building, boss fights, lots of levels to explore and a great art style, Cult of the Lamb delivers much in a small package. The art style…
Spirit City is not so much a game as a productivity boost. You get an avatar, a few playlists to choose from and cute spirit companions that appear depending on what activity your avatar does at different times of day. In concept, it’s a fantastic idea but I wanted to test it practically. Truthfully, I’ve…
