You’re not a human trainer. You’re a Ditto, which means for the first time, you’re experiencing the world as a Pokémon, not alongside them. That small shift changes everything. The game is set in a world where humans are gone, and you’re slowly piecing together what happened. There’s no heavy exposition or long explanations. Instead, you find notes, computer logs, and small environmental details that hint at a bigger story. I haven’t finished the game yet, but there’s a clear sense of mystery running through everything. The more you uncover, the more it feels like the answer is going to be quite emotional. There are definitely some environmental undertones here too, which adds a bit more weight to the world without making it feel overwhelming. It’s subtle, but it works. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/391ffe7e-1b86-4914-842d-8667dea5dbf8/IMG_1670.jpeg All Posts - Review: Pokopia – The Cozy Pokémon Game I Didn’t Know I Needed Gameplay-wise, Pokopia feels like a mix of a few different ideas that somehow come together really well. You’ve got the building and decorating elements you’d expect from something like Minecraft, the habitat creation of Viva Piñata, and then the best part of any Pokémon game, finding new Pokémon to add to your world. There’s no battling. Instead, the focus is on creating environments, exploring, and interacting. And honestly, that works in its favour. The building system isn’t unlimited, but it doesn’t need to be. The real creativity comes from the space you’re given. You’re not just placing a small house, you can build entire homes for your Pokémon, across multiple levels, tucked into trees, perched on cliffs, or even out over the sea. It can actually feel a little overwhelming at first, just because of how many possibilities there are. But in a good way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/7e5646df-6069-4d50-a7dd-c3cea34cd96a/IMG_1672.jpeg All Posts - Review: Pokopia – The Cozy Pokémon Game I Didn’t Know I Needed - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/44199a77-0761-42a4-a1e4-d6da0a52a5d7/IMG_1671.jpeg All Posts - Review: Pokopia – The Cozy Pokémon Game I Didn’t Know I Needed Visually, this game is just so lovely. The Pokémon themselves look incredible, and there’s so much personality in how they move, react and talk. Some of their traits are exactly what you’d expect, but others are surprisingly playful or different, which keeps things interesting. What really stood out to me, though, is the dialogue. I haven’t come across repeated lines, and each Pokémon feels like they have a distinct personality. Being able to actually talk to them is something I didn’t realise I wanted this much, but it adds so much to the experience. It’s such a simple idea, but it makes the world feel more real. And because you’re a Pokémon yourself, those conversations feel natural rather than forced. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/ff09258f-f083-41ca-9c36-2cfc0835bef6/IMG_1669.jpeg All Posts - Review: Pokopia – The Cozy Pokémon Game I Didn’t Know I Needed The soundtrack is low-key but really effective. It leans into a synthy, lo-fi, hip-hop-inspired vibe that changes depending on where you are in the game—shop, match, or menu. It’s subtle enough not to distract, but atmospheric enough to give the game a chilled-out rhythm that pairs nicely with its more intense strategic moments. It doesn’t try too hard, and that works in its favour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/f7b4f93f-82c7-4fb0-b275-8948751341c3/IMG_1667.jpeg All Posts - Review: Pokopia – The Cozy Pokémon Game I Didn’t Know I Needed Pokopia isn’t trying to be a traditional Pokémon game. And that’s exactly why it works so well. It takes the parts that people love most, discovering Pokémon, building a connection with them, exploring a world, and removes the pressure, the systems, and the expectations that have started to weigh the series down a bit. What’s left is something softer, more personal, more creative and honestly quite special. It feels like the Pokémon game I didn’t realise I’d needed, and for me, it’s genuinely been a bit healing. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/cozy-games-for-overwhelm monthly 0.5 2026-03-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/da88a0bb-7c9e-42fa-957d-58790992dfc9/unpacking+6.PNG All Posts - Cozy Games for Overwhelm and When Everything Feels Too Much - Game Image: Unpacking, Developer: Witchbeam Game Image: A Short Hike, Developer: adamgryu https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/6eca7bef-8914-40b7-b390-13cf99df0763/a+little+to+the+left+2.jpg All Posts - Cozy Games for Overwhelm and When Everything Feels Too Much - Game Image: A Little to the Left, Developer: Max Inferno https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/8664d81b-39f5-41b6-a01a-2c1d339d5777/Sticky3.PNG All Posts - Cozy Games for Overwhelm and When Everything Feels Too Much - Game Image: Sticky Business, Developer: Spellgarden Games https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/24aa1667-1fff-4600-81c4-28ef88783fdd/a+short+hike+boat.PNG All Posts - Cozy Games for Overwhelm and When Everything Feels Too Much - Game Image: A Short Hike, Developer: adamgryu Game Image: TOEM: A Photo Adventure, Developer: Something We Made https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/552648cd-dc65-4f1c-901a-353acae9f8aa/alba+4.PNG All Posts - Cozy Games for Overwhelm and When Everything Feels Too Much - Game Image: Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, Developer: ustwo Games Game Image: Toem: A Photo Adventure, Developer: Something We Made https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/bc7b8a4c-7cb5-4e47-93e3-5066f66fbfeb/toem.jpg All Posts - Cozy Games for Overwhelm and When Everything Feels Too Much - Game Image: Toem: A Photo Adventure, Developer: Something we made https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/1753203329999-RIUSMW7LHP371ORK4NB5/cozy+grove.jpg All Posts - Cozy Games for Overwhelm and When Everything Feels Too Much - Game Image: Cozy Grove, Developer: Spry Fox LLC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/bef5b176-ab09-4bfb-a667-59602e50f9bc/Screenshot+2025-05-17+at+13.54.12.png All Posts - Cozy Games for Overwhelm and When Everything Feels Too Much - Game Image: Stardew Valley, Developer: Concerned Ape https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/ac4f3f5a-9380-4bf2-9e3c-c012ac35e3d2/kamaeru+frog+refuge.jpg All Posts - Cozy Games for Overwhelm and When Everything Feels Too Much - Game Image: Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge, Developer: Humble Reeds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/85a75356-814c-4ce8-84a4-dd7349bdb170/townscaper.jpg All Posts - Cozy Games for Overwhelm and When Everything Feels Too Much - Game Image: Townscaper, Developer: Oskar Stålberg Game Image: Unpacking, Developer: Witch Beam https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/07b00698-a4d9-425b-b8a3-649c6881c553/tiny+glade+11.jpg All Posts - Cozy Games for Overwhelm and When Everything Feels Too Much - Game Image: Tiny Glade, Developer: Pounce Light https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/7e178cd5-fa23-4783-9681-b380fb7cc5d4/islanders.jpg All Posts - Cozy Games for Overwhelm and When Everything Feels Too Much - Game Image: Islanders, Developer: Coat Sink https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/806d9aa5-92d9-4337-8288-1363cb26a847/Screenshot+2025-06-14+at+18-37-15+Spiritfarer+Review+A+Heartfelt+Adventure+of+Life+Death+and+Friendship+PeaPodGirlGaming.png All Posts - Cozy Games for Overwhelm and When Everything Feels Too Much - Game Image: Spiritfarer, Developer: Thunder Lotus Games Spiritfarer Spiritfarer is emotionally meaningful, but it moves at a thoughtful, unhurried pace.

Review: Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen 30th Anniversary – A Nostalgic Return to Kanto That Reminds Us Why Pokémon Worked One of the things that stands out immediately when returning to FireRed and LeafGreen is just how refreshingly simple the story is. You’re a young trainer from Pallet Town. Professor Oak gives you your first Pokémon. You set out across Kanto, challenge eight gym leaders, stop Team Rocket along the way, and eventually face the Elite Four. That’s it. There’s no world ending catastrophe, no endless exposition, no painfully long dialogue sequences explaining every mechanic or pointless information. Instead, the story quietly supports the real focus of the game: discovering Pokémon and becoming a stronger trainer. Almost immediately I was pulled back into childhood nostalgia. These are the original 150 Pokémon I grew up with, the creatures whose designs are still among the most iconic in the series. And then comes the decision every Pokémon player knows is coming. Charizard, Bulbasaur, or Squirtle? It’s practically a rite of passage. I’m usually a sucker for a Fire starter, but this time I decided to play differently and chose Bulbasaur. With that important choice made, my adventure through Kanto began again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/f1b021b2-a1c5-4548-8243-e66c983f3ba0/IMG_1548.jpeg All Posts - Review: Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen 30th Anniversary – A Nostalgic Return to Kanto That Reminds Us Why Pokémon Worked Returning to FireRed and LeafGreen after years of modern Pokémon games highlights just how different the series used to feel. For one thing, the game doesn’t hold your hand. I had completely forgotten that if you lose a battle, you actually lose money. Suddenly every trainer battle carries a little more tension, especially early on when Poké Balls and potions already feel expensive. Another mechanic I’d forgotten is that experience isn’t shared across your party. Only Pokémon that participate in battle gain XP. As a child, I probably wouldn’t have thought twice about this. I would have overlevelled one powerful starter and hoped for the best. But returning to the game now, it adds an interesting layer of strategy. You have to think about rotating your team, planning matchups, and preparing properly for gyms. Otherwise you might walk confidently into Misty’s gym with a single overpowered Fire Pokémon and get obliterated by Staryu and Goldeen. Outside of battles, the gameplay loop remains beautifully simple: Travel from town to town Explore caves and routes Battle trainers Catch new Pokémon in tall grass Collect eight gym badges That structure still works remarkably well. There’s a rhythm to it that newer games sometimes struggle to replicate. And that moment when a Pikachu suddenly appears out of the grass, forcing you to carefully chip away its health before throwing a Poké Ball? That little surge of excitement is still completely intact and honestly one of the game’s strongest features. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/e20eaafa-0218-4f8c-bf88-ca5b1540d13f/IMG_1549.jpeg All Posts - Review: Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen 30th Anniversary – A Nostalgic Return to Kanto That Reminds Us Why Pokémon Worked Visually, the Switch 2 version of FireRed and LeafGreen does a lovely job preserving the original charm. The pixel art remains bright and colourful, but everything feels crisp and vibrant on modern hardware. The environments still have that distinctive Game Boy Advance style, yet they pop beautifully on a larger screen. The Pokémon sprites themselves remain fantastic. Even decades later, many of the original Kanto designs still stand among the best in the entire franchise. What’s striking, though, is how intentional the world design feels. Routes are small but purposeful. Caves feel like actual obstacles rather than empty corridors. Towns are compact but memorable. Compared to some of Pokémon’s massive modern maps that can feel oddly empty, Kanto feels carefully designed rather than oversized. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/b596654b-dd8a-432a-8145-6d878be75a21/IMG_1550.jpeg All Posts - Review: Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen 30th Anniversary – A Nostalgic Return to Kanto That Reminds Us Why Pokémon Worked The soundtrack is low-key but really effective. It leans into a synthy, lo-fi, hip-hop-inspired vibe that changes depending on where you are in the game—shop, match, or menu. It’s subtle enough not to distract, but atmospheric enough to give the game a chilled-out rhythm that pairs nicely with its more intense strategic moments. It doesn’t try too hard, and that works in its favour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/055b8884-699d-496e-a8e1-4d76118c5026/IMG_1551.jpeg All Posts - Review: Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen 30th Anniversary – A Nostalgic Return to Kanto That Reminds Us Why Pokémon Worked Somewhere along the way, Pokémon became complicated. Recent entries have experimented with enormous maps, extended dialogue, boring stories, and additional mechanics. Sometimes those ideas work. Sometimes they don’t. Returning to FireRed and LeafGreen is a reminder of what made Pokémon special in the first place. A simple adventure. Eight gyms. And a world filled with strange creatures waiting to be discovered. No unnecessary systems. No bloated storytelling. Just exploration, battling, and catching Pokémon. And most importantly, the focus stays exactly where it should be, on the Pokémon themselves. Thirty years later, this return to Kanto proves that sometimes the oldest adventures still capture the magic best, and I hope there’s a reflection back to this type of Pokémon games when Wind and Waves release in 2027. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-pieced-together monthly 0.5 2026-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/2ab6497b-e94a-4442-b22d-eed57c009d3e/pieced+together.jpg All Posts - Review: Pieced Together - A Cozy Scrapbooking Game About Friendship and Growing Up https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/77a28d1c-ff1d-4e2f-9ced-b157ab7d8dd7/IMG_0919.jpg All Posts - Review: Pieced Together - A Cozy Scrapbooking Game About Friendship and Growing Up The game follows Connie as she pieces together memories of her childhood friendship with Beth. Each of the six chapters represents a different stage in their lives, and every page of the scrapbook slowly fills with museum tickets from school trips, photographs from travelling in France, cooking instructions from a class they took together, folded notes, invitations, and little scraps of everyday life. What I love most is that you’re never rushed. You can take your time placing each piece, rotating photos, unfolding handwritten notes to reveal hidden sentences, and sitting with the memories as they settle into place. But this isn’t just about nostalgia. As the story moves forward, the emotional weight grows, particularly when Connie faces a decision that feels far too adult for a young person to make: whether to attend her dream university in Florence or stay in the UK with her family and Beth. It perfectly captures that awful, in-between feeling. Wanting to make the right choice for yourself. Wanting to grow. But also not wanting to hurt the people you love. It’s such a simple premise, yet it’s something most of us have faced in one way or another, choosing a path that’s right for you, knowing it might strain the bonds you already have. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/02eddd07-c8b3-4a89-a8ef-05426b160bab/IMG_0920.jpg All Posts - Review: Pieced Together - A Cozy Scrapbooking Game About Friendship and Growing Up One of the strongest parts of Pieced Together is how creatively it presents its narrative. You don’t just read dialogue boxes. Instead, you discover: Handwritten notes accompanied by gentle voiceover Folded letters that physically open to reveal new lines Pros and cons lists you help assemble Memory fragments that only make sense once placed correctly The addition of voiceover for Connie while she writes her letter was a particularly lovely touch. It adds warmth and makes her feel more present, and more real. You’re not just arranging her memories, you’re understanding her internal conflict. Each chapter carries a quiet thoughtfulness. There’s no dramatic confrontation, no explosive fallout, just the slow, natural shift that sometimes happens when life pulls people in different directions. The puzzles are soft and accessible, matching items, ordering instructions, fitting scraps together, designed to support the story rather than challenge you but also give you time to think. The scrapbooking itself remains the heart of the experience. As you progress, you unlock various stickers that you can use to decorate pages however you like. I found myself taking extra time arranging everything just right, reflecting on my own experiences alongside Connie’s, making the game become strangely personal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/d7d7973d-d0be-4ed3-bce2-f89dab0c2a1f/IMG_0924.jpg All Posts - Review: Pieced Together - A Cozy Scrapbooking Game About Friendship and Growing Up The art style is absolutely lovely, bright, colourful, and full of warmth. Every scrapbook page genuinely feels hand-crafted, like something assembled at a bedroom desk with glue, paper scraps, and carefully chosen keepsakes. The selection of stickers are a lovely touch to add a customisation element to your scrapbooking so you can make the page your own. What really elevates it, though, is how intentionally the visuals respond to the story’s emotional beats. Colours shift with Connie’s feelings. During heavier moments, a soft grey tone slowly washes over the page, muting the vibrancy in a way that feels natural rather than dramatic. Little environmental details creep in too, like raindrops tapping against the paper or shadows stretching slightly longer across the scrapbook. It’s subtle, but it makes you feel the mood rather than just observe it. Then, when hope or happiness returns, the warmth floods back in. Pages brighten, tones deepen, and everything feels lighter again. It’s such a simple technique, fading to grey and then blooming back into colour, but it’s incredibly effective. It mirrors how intense emotions can feel when you’re young, where one small moment can completely change the atmosphere of your world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/5b989656-525c-4078-bba1-ed829ef0304b/IMG_0921.jpg All Posts - Review: Pieced Together - A Cozy Scrapbooking Game About Friendship and Growing Up The soundtrack is low-key but really effective.

It’s about growing up, making decisions that feel far too big for the age you are, and learning that sometimes choosing what’s right for you can still hurt. Most of us have been there in some way. That’s what makes it resonate. The scrapbooking mechanics never distract from the narrative, they support it. The puzzles are gentle, the presentation is thoughtful, and the emotional beats are handled with care. Nothing feels forced. Nothing feels exaggerated. For a small development team, this is genuinely impressive work. It’s heartfelt, relatable, and quietly confident in its storytelling. If you enjoy narrative-driven cozy games where you can slow down and reflect, Pieced Together is absolutely worth your time. It’s the kind of experience that lingers, not because it’s dramatic, but because it feels honest. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/30-years-of-pokemon monthly 0.5 2026-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/d93a8ec9-512c-43f2-bb42-b74d9867962a/Pokemon_Fire_Red_Leaf_Green_Screen_08_EN.jpg All Posts - Pokémon Turns 30: Why I’m Still Playing After 30 Years When Pokémon first began, it was simple. You chose one of three starters, stepped into tall grass, and slowly made your way from town to town collecting badges. The worlds were small but deliberate. Every route had a purpose. Every cave felt like a challenge. Every new town felt distinct. As the series moved forward, it gained confidence. The DS era in particular felt like Pokémon at its most assured. Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, giving Sinnoh a sharper identity, dramatic music, and a world that felt expansive without feeling empty. Remakes like HeartGold and SoulSilver respected the originals while polishing them, giving players clear progression and memorable towns. Everything had a rhythm. Nothing was rushed. Nothing felt oversized for the sake of it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/696e0fac-0285-4e51-84fd-b58e0872ffd2/pokemon+platinum.jpg All Posts - Pokémon Turns 30: Why I’m Still Playing After 30 Years Then came experimentation. Full 3D brought visual ambition but also changed the pacing and rhythm. Routes became wider, dialogue increased, and new mechanics stacked on top of each other. Some, like Mega Evolutions, added excitement to battles while others, like overloaded menus or repetitive side systems, felt like distractions. Don’t get me started on Gigantamax. The Nintendo Switch era took that ambition even further. Scarlet and Violet promised fully open world Pokémon, but for me and many others, the world often felt hollow. Towns were huge but lifeless. Exploration sometimes felt like wandering boring, repetitive areas rather than discovering. Performance issues compounded the problem, but even without them, the game lacked the soul that older titles had. Legends: Arceus was the first time in years that the experimentation felt purposeful. Sneaking through tall grass, manually throwing Poké Balls, researching Pokémon in real time, it shifted the focus back to the creatures themselves, not just battling them. The story wasn’t memorable, and the world was imperfect, but it felt brave. It felt like Pokémon trying to evolve. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/319be962-b9fc-4801-9cee-505fc23784c7/Pokemon_Legends_Z-A_Mega_Dimension_DLC_Screenshot_2.jpg All Posts - Pokémon Turns 30: Why I’m Still Playing After 30 Years That’s why Legends: Z-A was so frustrating. There is genuine refinement in the battle system. Catching still feels satisfying. Late night sequences have tension and reward. But extremely dialogue heavy pacing, weak character writing, and a flat city design hold it back. It shows exactly what Pokémon could be but refuses to commit. Looking back across thirty years, the pattern is clear: Pokémon is at its best when it commits to a clear vision, when it builds a world with intention, and when it emphasizes discovery over scale. That’s why I still prefer the older top down games. They weren’t trying to overwhelm, they guided you. And sometimes that quiet guidance is more magical than endless freedom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/d741eb7b-e32f-46b9-96b6-0d3945e987dc/Pokemon_Pokopia_Screenshot_4.jpg All Posts - Pokémon Turns 30: Why I’m Still Playing After 30 Years The soundtrack is low-key but really effective.

There have been highs and lows, experiments that worked and those that didn’t, worlds that inspired awe and worlds that felt empty. But even with missteps, Pokémon continues to do what it does best: create living creatures you care about, worlds you want to explore, and moments you remember long after the console powers down. After all these years, I’m still here. Because no matter the glitches, the dialogue, or the disappointing towns, Pokémon can still make me feel like a kid again. And that, more than anything else, is why I keep coming back. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/cozy-creature-catchers-like-pokemon monthly 0.5 2026-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/2a42931e-3d0f-40fb-9b75-22edfb31a0f8/palworld.jpg All Posts - 15+ Cozy Creature-Catching Games Like Pokémon You Should Play in 2026 - Developer Image: Pocketpair https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/0d5318bd-76c9-4a3b-b285-bba2ef267f84/ni+no+kuni.jpg All Posts - 15+ Cozy Creature-Catching Games Like Pokémon You Should Play in 2026 - Developer Image: Level 5 Inc.

You play as one of several characters (like the Warrior, Robot, or Vampire), each transformed into dice by the mysterious Lady Luck. Your goal is to fight through a series of dungeon floors, defeat bosses, and ultimately confront Lady Luck herself. The narrative isn’t deep, but it’s filled with charm. Quirky dialogue, humorous boss taunts, and whimsical descriptions of items give every encounter a playful personality. The story serves more as framing for your runs than a driving plot, which works perfectly for this kind of game. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/1e58b0b9-2c0b-4649-95bc-5ed255a84d09/IMG_1068.jpg All Posts - Review: Dicey Dungeons – A Chaotic, Dice-Rolling Roguelike That’s Surprisingly Charming Dicey Dungeons is a turn based roguelike where every action depends on the roll of your dice. Each character class has unique equipment and abilities that interact with dice values in different ways. For example, the Warrior can place dice on attack cards, while the Inventor crafts gadgets using combinations of numbers. Key gameplay elements include: Dice-Based Combat: Every turn starts with rolling dice, which you must strategically allocate to attacks, abilities, or defenses. Character Variety: Each playable character has unique mechanics, encouraging different strategies. Equipment and Items: Cards, weapons, and trinkets modify your dice rolls or provide special effects, adding depth and planning. Procedural Dungeons: Each run is procedurally generated, keeping encounters fresh. Luck Meets Strategy: You never know exactly what you’ll roll, so each decision requires adapting on the fly, blending chance with tactical thinking. The learning curve is gentle enough for newcomers but offers complexity for more experienced players. Runs are usually short (15–30 minutes), making it easy to play in bursts or marathon sessions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/7475048d-0897-4acc-b6d4-8c513ea50eeb/IMG_1067.jpg All Posts - Review: Dicey Dungeons – A Chaotic, Dice-Rolling Roguelike That’s Surprisingly Charming Dicey Dungeons has a bright, cartoonish art style that leans into whimsy rather than realism. Characters are expressive and playful, dice rolls feel satisfying, and the UI is clear without clutter. The simplicity of the visuals works in its favour, it’s charming without overwhelming you, and the animations make dice rolling exciting rather than repetitive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/1c13e5d1-3aef-4e70-8f23-15c898738ee7/IMG_1064.jpg All Posts - Review: Dicey Dungeons – A Chaotic, Dice-Rolling Roguelike That’s Surprisingly Charming The soundtrack is low-key but really effective. It leans into a synthy, lo-fi, hip-hop-inspired vibe that changes depending on where you are in the game—shop, match, or menu. It’s subtle enough not to distract, but atmospheric enough to give the game a chilled-out rhythm that pairs nicely with its more intense strategic moments. It doesn’t try too hard, and that works in its favour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/cf93e516-9325-4e68-9a04-de6ae46c6899/IMG_1066.jpg All Posts - Review: Dicey Dungeons – A Chaotic, Dice-Rolling Roguelike That’s Surprisingly Charming Dicey Dungeons is a delightfully chaotic blend of strategy, luck, and charm. While it’s not “cozy” in the same sense as a relaxing management sim, its humour, visual style, and satisfying dice mechanics make it engaging without ever feeling punishing. Each run is a mini puzzle full of surprises, and mastering the balance between luck and strategy is endlessly rewarding. If you’re looking for a game that’s fast, funny, and clever, where every turn feels like a little gamble, Dicey Dungeons is definitely worth rolling the dice on. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/cozy-nature-games-for-stress-relief monthly 0.5 2026-02-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/3a10eb0c-b60a-4925-99c0-f4c5e36dc48d/a+short+hike+snowy.PNG All Posts - The Best Nature-Filled Cozy Games for Stress Relief - Game Image: A Short Hike, Developer: adamgryu Game Image: TOEM: A Photo Adventure, Developer: Something We Made https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/6934ad9a-8fb5-4acf-8c52-d0f374c949d6/eastshade+1.jpg All Posts - The Best Nature-Filled Cozy Games for Stress Relief - Game Image: Eastshade, Developer: Eastshade Studios https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/6d4c44d9-a4a3-4eee-aa7b-b6e00ecc83dc/jusant+1.jpg All Posts - The Best Nature-Filled Cozy Games for Stress Relief - Game Image: Jusant, Developer: DON’T NOD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/33862a6f-6aa4-4ad2-9893-5f514982a0ac/alba+3.PNG All Posts - The Best Nature-Filled Cozy Games for Stress Relief - Game Image: Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, Developer: ustwo Games Game Image: Toem: A Photo Adventure, Developer: Something We Made https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/63e35297-fdf0-45e8-a8eb-524848b650fe/coral+island+1.jpg All Posts - The Best Nature-Filled Cozy Games for Stress Relief - Game Image: Coral Island, Developer: Stairway Games https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/1753203329999-RIUSMW7LHP371ORK4NB5/cozy+grove.jpg All Posts - The Best Nature-Filled Cozy Games for Stress Relief - Game Image: Cozy Grove, Developer: Spry Fox LLC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/8b0a0248-d08a-4ea6-90f9-c625081014de/botany+manor+10.PNG All Posts - The Best Nature-Filled Cozy Games for Stress Relief - Game Image: Botany Manor, Developer: Balloon Studios Botany Manor Botany Manor is a calm puzzle game set inside a beautiful old estate, where your goal is to learn how to grow unusual plants.

You’re helping restore the wetlands of your childhood alongside a small cast of kind, well meaning characters, increasing your reputation by caring for frogs and improving the environment. The characters aren’t especially deep or dramatic, but that feels intentional. This isn’t a game about a big story, it’s about care, conservation, and gradual progress. Everything is framed in a calm, encouraging way that fits the overall tone perfectly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/1b3e4291-7111-456e-a1bb-23b27910f919/IMG_1061.jpg All Posts - Review: Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge - A Calm, Conservation-Focused Take on Creature Collecting Ultimately Kamaeru is a creature collector with a strong environmental focus. You attract frogs by restoring wetlands, balancing water and plant life, and placing furniture around your refuge. When new frogs appear, there’s a lovely little moment of excitement as you spot them,followed quickly by a slightly frantic scramble to take a photo and make sure you’ve got the right bugs in your pack to tame them. There are over 500 frogs to collect, with different colours, patterns, and variations. Rarer frogs are unlocked through a breeding mini game that plays out like noughts and crosses, encouraging experimentation rather than strict optimisation. Key gameplay elements include: Frog Collecting: Photograph, tame, and catalogue hundreds of frogs in your frogedex Wetland Restoration: Dig ponds, plant native species, and balance water and greenery to encourage biodiversity Breeding Mini Game: Unlock rarer frog variations through a gentle puzzle style system Decoration and Customisation: Place and repaint furniture like couches, swings, and wheelbarrows to attract specific frogs Light Automation: Catch bugs yourself or hire help so you can focus on decorating and planning The tasks themselves are very low pressure. You’ll increase your reputation by things like discovering certain numbers of frogs or placing specific furniture, and nothing ever feels urgent or punishing. A completionist could easily spend 10 hours or more unlocking frogs, areas, and variations, and it never feels like it’s overstaying its welcome. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/80ca050f-cec2-4c59-8397-51717eaebc36/IMG_1059.jpg All Posts - Review: Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge - A Calm, Conservation-Focused Take on Creature Collecting Kamaeru is a really lovely game to look at. The art style feels almost watercolour like, with soft pastel colours and a gentle, hand-painted quality that suits the wetlands beautifully. The frog designs are especially charming. Each one feels distinct, and spotting a new pattern or colour never got old for me. Seeing a frog pop up on a couch you’ve just placed or appearing in a pond is quietly exciting in a way that only cozy games really manage to pull off. Everything looks calm, natural, and welcoming, exactly what you want from a game about restoration and care. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/709b27df-479d-4f0e-adde-fedb134c666e/IMG_1062.jpg All Posts - Review: Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge - A Calm, Conservation-Focused Take on Creature Collecting The soundtrack is low-key but really effective. It leans into a synthy, lo-fi, hip-hop-inspired vibe that changes depending on where you are in the game—shop, match, or menu. It’s subtle enough not to distract, but atmospheric enough to give the game a chilled-out rhythm that pairs nicely with its more intense strategic moments. It doesn’t try too hard, and that works in its favour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/ac4f3f5a-9380-4bf2-9e3c-c012ac35e3d2/kamaeru+frog+refuge.jpg All Posts - Review: Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge - A Calm, Conservation-Focused Take on Creature Collecting Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge is a genuinely sweet, thoughtful game with a strong sense of purpose. It’s gentle without being boring, educational without being preachy, and cozy in a way that feels natural rather than forced. The focus on biodiversity and environmental balance gives everything you do a bit of extra meaning, and the huge variety of frogs makes collecting feel consistently rewarding. For me, as someone who loves frogs and creature catchers, this was a perfect fit. If you’re looking for a calm, charming game that lets you slow down, decorate at your own pace, and care for something small and meaningful, Kamaeru is absolutely worth your time. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/10-cozy-management-games monthly 0.5 2026-02-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/934babce-8b74-49f2-8e9f-7350a9439452/tiny+book+shop.jpg All Posts - 20+ Best Cozy Management Sims in 2026 like Two Point Hospital - Developer Image: neoludic games Available on: PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch Cost: €19.99 A cozy management sim that gets what makes bookshops special.

Instead, the game focuses on the simple joy of building and watching your park slowly fill with different types of rabbits. Progression comes from unlocking new items, attracting new bunnies, and completing your collection rather than following any kind of narrative. It’s light, unobtrusive, and never gets in the way of the cozy atmosphere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/1694c30c-776e-4187-a31a-e87acbd2bfcb/bunny+park+1.jpg All Posts - Review: Bunny Park – A Short, Sweet Cozy Game Perfect for a Quiet Afternoon At its core, Bunny Park is a sandbox management game with very gentle systems. You plant crops like carrots and pumpkins to attract different bunny types, each of which rewards you with coins when they eat. You can also pet the rabbits to increase their happiness, which boosts the overall happiness of the park and helps your park grow. Key gameplay features include: Bunny Collection: Attract and unlock a variety of bunnies, each with their own cute designs Light Park Management: Use coins to place furniture, decorations, and more crops Happiness System: Pet bunnies to keep them happy and improve your park Tool Unlocks: Unlock tools that automate tasks like collecting coins or petting rabbits Relaxed Sandbox Play: No pressure, no failure states, and no timers I really enjoyed decorating my bunny park and gradually unlocking new items as I went. Watching new bunnies appear and join the mix was genuinely satisfying, and the automation tools were a nice touch, letting me focus more on layout and design. That said, the Switch controls did feel a little clunky at times, especially when navigating between menus and the park itself. It’s not game breaking, but it does interrupt the flow occasionally. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/eea50e7d-539a-4954-9290-072da11f4d43/bunny+park+3.jpg All Posts - Review: Bunny Park – A Short, Sweet Cozy Game Perfect for a Quiet Afternoon Bunny Park leans fully into a cute, chunky art style. The visuals are bright, colourful, and very approachable. While not particularly detailed or sophisticated, the aesthetic works well for the tone of the game. Each bunny has a distinct design, which makes collecting them feel rewarding, and the overall presentation is cheerful and comforting. It’s the kind of art style that feels immediately cozy, even if it’s fairly simple. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/24ebfbc6-1fed-4594-a1fc-21accc281ec2/bunny+park+2.jpg All Posts - Review: Bunny Park – A Short, Sweet Cozy Game Perfect for a Quiet Afternoon The soundtrack is low-key but really effective.

It doesn’t try too hard, and that works in its favour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/7f8144c0-9eea-43ff-b38b-3ebab2e0ed7c/bunny+park+4.jpg All Posts - Review: Bunny Park – A Short, Sweet Cozy Game Perfect for a Quiet Afternoon Bunny Park is a sweet, relaxing little game that does exactly what it sets out to do.

The characters are some of the most insufferable I’ve encountered in any Pokémon game, constantly talking, explaining, interrupting, and padding out an already flimsy plot with endless dialogue that says very little. It often feels like hours of filler standing between you and the parts of the game that actually matter. While recency bias might play a role here, the sheer volume of dialogue makes it impossible to ignore. NPCs rarely move, animations feel clunky and inhuman, and the city setting never feels alive. Instead, it feels like being trapped in an overgrown first town, too big, too flat, and with nowhere truly new to go. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/7a7bfda7-f983-4072-b8bb-b6808e4fabea/pokemon+za+1.jpg All Posts - Review: Pokémon Z-A – A Frustrating Step Sideways With Flashes of Real Potential Pokémon Z-A’s biggest strength is its battle system. Building on Legends: Arceus, the improved Poké Ball throwing feels genuinely good, and the real time turn based combat is easily one of the best mechanics Pokémon has introduced in years. The light tension of positioning, timing, and engagement works extremely well, and I hope this system becomes the standard moving forward. Unfortunately, many of the surrounding systems let it down. The Z-A progression system is poorly implemented. While the idea is fine in theory, skipping over nearly 20 letters at one point completely undermines its purpose, making progression feel arbitrary and pointless. Mega Evolutions are another major frustration. While the designs are strong, the battles themselves are tedious. You Mega Evolve, they Mega Evolve, and suddenly you’re back at the same power level, except now the fight drags on painfully slowly. It’s a problem that started with Sword and Shield’s Gigantamax system, and it continues here: flashy, unnecessary mechanics that add friction rather than depth to an already solid battle system. The task system is… fine. Finding Pokémon of certain sizes, completing mini battles, locating missing Pokémon, none of it is bad, and it does keep you moving. But it’s clearly there to replace gyms rather than meaningfully expand the game. Wild Zones are the biggest missed opportunity. Pokémon fans want one thing above all else: to catch Pokémon. And while the Pokémon designs themselves are fantastic, seeing a Pikachu pop up or an Eevee hiding in hedges still sparks genuine joy, each zone only contains around eight Pokémon. You can catch everything in half an hour, and then it’s back to hours of dialogue and filler. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/39723836-7e0f-429f-b4ad-0ef1056044bc/pokemon+za+2.jpg All Posts - Review: Pokémon Z-A – A Frustrating Step Sideways With Flashes of Real Potential Pokémon Z-A runs better than Violet and Arceus, which is worth acknowledging. Pokémon models look great, and the Pokemon designs remain one of the series’ strongest points. However, the environments lack variety, personality, and atmosphere. NPCs feel static, the city feels lifeless, and the lack of distinct regions or climates makes exploration feel flat from start to finish. The map isn’t small, but it is boring. Buildings look the same, streets blur together, and the overwhelming number of shops and cafés quickly becomes tedious. Yes, they all sell different items, but standing in front of shop windows comparing jackets and hats becomes frustrating rather than fun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/ff4ac922-2792-49ee-91d3-b1e64b44d340/pokemon+za+3.jpg All Posts - Review: Pokémon Z-A – A Frustrating Step Sideways With Flashes of Real Potential The soundtrack is low-key but really effective.

It runs better than recent titles, the battle system is genuinely strong, and catching Pokémon still delivers that familiar thrill rooted in childhood nostalgia. But weak characters, dreadful dialogue, tedious systems, and a boring world make it hard to recommend at its €80 price tag, especially with an additional €30 DLC. Is there enough content to justify the cost? Yes. Are all of those hours enjoyable? Absolutely not. If you’re prepared to button mash through endless dialogue and are here purely for Pokémon catching, you’ll probably still have a good time. But for a series with this much history and potential, Pokémon Z-A feels like another missed opportunity. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/roguelike-cozy-games monthly 0.5 2026-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/f9c3c7a2-e6af-49f9-921f-6ab9ef5c9b0c/dicey+dungeons.jpg All Posts - 10+ Roguelikes to Get Hooked On in 2026 (Even If You Usually Play Cozy Games) - Developer Image: Terry Kavanagh Available on: PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Playstation Dicey Dungeons is one of the most welcoming roguelikes I’ve played, and the easiest one to recommend to cozy gamers.

If you’re curious about roguelikes but feeling hesitant, this is the perfect place to start. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/ded279e9-660d-4095-96d0-e2be662feb9d/slay+the+spire.jpg All Posts - 10+ Roguelikes to Get Hooked On in 2026 (Even If You Usually Play Cozy Games) - Developer Image: Mega Crit Available on: PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Playstation Amazon Physical Copies*: PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch Slay the Spire is often recommended as a first roguelike, and for good reason. Its turn-based card combat means there’s no time pressure at all, you can take as long as you like to think through each move. Progress feels steady even when a run ends, and the strategic depth builds naturally over time. Cozy players who enjoy puzzles, card games, and thoughtful decision making will really enjoy this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/8704e3c9-0828-4309-b29f-668809ff2086/Wildfrost_cover.png All Posts - 10+ Roguelikes to Get Hooked On in 2026 (Even If You Usually Play Cozy Games) - Developer Image: Deadpan Games, Gatzier Developer Image: Pixel Sprout Studios Available on: PC, Nintendo Switch Cost: €24.99 You arrive at Sun Haven with just a few coins and some rusty tools and discover the town has been struck by dark magic!

While it has a reputation for being intense, it plays more like a satisfying card puzzle built around familiar poker mechanics. Runs are short, the rules are easy to grasp, and the game quickly settles into a calm, focused rhythm with a great synthy soundtrack. It’s ideal for cozy gamers who enjoy numbers, strategy, and that quiet “just one more run” feeling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/4bf526cc-d1d7-413f-90a2-549761aaea91/turnip+boy+robs+a+bank.jpg All Posts - 10+ Roguelikes to Get Hooked On in 2026 (Even If You Usually Play Cozy Games) - Developer Image: Snoozy Kazoo Available on: PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Turnip Boy Robs a Bank keeps things light, humorous, and low pressure. Its playful tone and short runs make it easy to jump into without committing to long sessions. While it leans more action-focused than traditional cozy games, it’s forgiving enough that failure never feels frustrating. The characters are cute and genuinely quite funny. This is a great choice for cozy players who value charm and comedy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/1759535734039-DLP3R75Y3OL2W9JEFK6V/cult+of+the+lamb+logo.jpg All Posts - 10+ Roguelikes to Get Hooked On in 2026 (Even If You Usually Play Cozy Games) - Developer Image: Massive Monster Available on: PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch, Playstation, Xbox Amazon Physical Copies*: Nintendo Switch, PS5 Cult of the Lamb blends roguelike dungeon runs with cozy village management in a way that feels surprisingly comforting. Between runs, you’re decorating your base, caring (ish) for followers, and managing daily routines, elements that will feel familiar to fans of farming and life sims. The combat sections are structured and purposeful, helping balance out the darker themes. It’s a great bridge between cozy gameplay and more action driven experiences but with a humourously dark twist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/1746188157025-0VWIKFSURUVCVP7FNP5Y/blue+prince.jpg All Posts - 10+ Roguelikes to Get Hooked On in 2026 (Even If You Usually Play Cozy Games) - Developer Image: Dogubomb Available on: PC, Playstation, Xbox Blue Prince leans heavily into atmosphere, mystery, and puzzle-solving, making it a strong pick for cozy players who love slow discovery. While it includes roguelike elements, the experience feels calm and deliberate rather than stressful. I appreciated how much time it gives you to explore, observe, and think. It feels closer to a narrative puzzle game than a traditional combat-focused roguelike but the elements are still there and it’s very inventive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/f110a83e-ac98-4e44-8c5d-bd05f1b453e2/ball+x+pit.jpg All Posts - 10+ Roguelikes to Get Hooked On in 2026 (Even If You Usually Play Cozy Games) - Developer Image: Kenny Sun and Friends Available on: PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Playstation Ball x Pit feels more like an arcade puzzle game than a typical roguelike. The mechanics are simple, the visuals are clean, and the focus is on satisfying interactions rather than difficulty spikes. Its short sessions make it easy to pick up and put down, and in between runs you get to build a little village with each building giving you new advantages in your runs. This is a great option if you enjoy tactile, physics-based gameplay without long term pressure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/1767109728659-72T4NNPXRS2IXRM2GA1P/vampire+survivors.jpg All Posts - 10+ Roguelikes to Get Hooked On in 2026 (Even If You Usually Play Cozy Games) - Developer Image: Poncle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/1742059277087-FVAGE5E4RFU1D2ORGO91/brotato.jpg All Posts - 10+ Roguelikes to Get Hooked On in 2026 (Even If You Usually Play Cozy Games) - Developer Image: Blobfish Available on: PC, Nintendo Switch, Playstation, Xbox Amazon* Physical Copies: Nintendo Switch, PS5 Brotato is faster and more chaotic than earlier games on this list, but by this point it feels manageable rather than overwhelming.

While it’s faster paced than most cozy games, the rich storytelling, memorable characters, and strong progression systems make each run feel meaningful. Accessibility options also help tailor the experience to your comfort level, which is great because both Hades games really are some of the best games ever made. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-slay-the-spire monthly 0.5 2026-01-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/ded279e9-660d-4095-96d0-e2be662feb9d/slay+the+spire.jpg All Posts - Review: Slay the Spire – Endless Variety Wrapped in an Addictive Card-Based Roguelike https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/50c9d23e-4676-4b51-afe9-f6649d5a186c/slay+the+spire+2.jpg All Posts - Review: Slay the Spire – Endless Variety Wrapped in an Addictive Card-Based Roguelike Slay the Spire doesn’t put much emphasis on story, and instead focuses on atmosphere and progression. You’re climbing the Spire run after run, encountering strange enemies, mysterious events, and powerful relics along the way. Rather than telling a traditional narrative, the game lets the story emerge through repeated climbs. Each run feels like a self-contained journey, shaped by the choices you make and the items you collect. It’s minimal, but effective and it never gets in the way of the gameplay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/340e2a40-c645-4fc5-aa7d-21374c24283c/slay+the+spire+3.jpg All Posts - Review: Slay the Spire – Endless Variety Wrapped in an Addictive Card-Based Roguelike Each run begins by choosing a character, each with their own card pool and playstyle, before slowly building a deck as you climb higher through the Spire. Key gameplay features include: Deck-Building Combat: Turn-based card battles that reward planning and thoughtful decision making Run Customisation: A huge variety of cards, relics, and items ensure no two runs feel the same Meaningful Choices: Every card pick, relic, and path choice can dramatically change how a run plays out Mobile-Friendly Design: Perfect for short sessions, especially on mobile, without feeling rushed High Replayability: The constant variety keeps the game feeling fresh even after many hours One of the biggest strengths of Slay the Spire is just how customisable each run feels. The variety of items and cards lets you experiment endlessly, creating wildly different builds and strategies. Even when you don’t manage to win a run, they rarely feel wasted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/30677f81-d9b5-4c0b-9923-0a2c2d392eee/slay+the+spire+5.jpg All Posts - Review: Slay the Spire – Endless Variety Wrapped in an Addictive Card-Based Roguelike Visually, Slay the Spire is clean and functional rather than flashy. The art style is simple, but charming, and does a great job of clearly communicating enemies, cards, and effects, something that’s especially important on mobile. Animations are subtle, and the UI is easy to read, making it a comfortable game to play for longer sessions without feeling overwhelming. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/04738cac-1330-4d01-80e3-a02c11006634/slay+the+spire+4.jpg All Posts - Review: Slay the Spire – Endless Variety Wrapped in an Addictive Card-Based Roguelike The soundtrack is low-key but really effective. It leans into a synthy, lo-fi, hip-hop-inspired vibe that changes depending on where you are in the game—shop, match, or menu. It’s subtle enough not to distract, but atmospheric enough to give the game a chilled-out rhythm that pairs nicely with its more intense strategic moments. It doesn’t try too hard, and that works in its favour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/8df67f8c-e4bd-4cf8-a197-b8c1f155b738/slay+the+spire+1.jpg All Posts - Review: Slay the Spire – Endless Variety Wrapped in an Addictive Card-Based Roguelike Slay the Spire is a brilliantly designed roguelike that excels at making every run feel unique. Its addictive gameplay loop, huge variety of items, and thoughtful deck building mechanics make it a standout in the genre. While the limited number of characters can feel restrictive at times, the depth of customisation more than makes up for it. For cozy gamers who enjoy roguelikes, strategy, and games that reward patience and planning, Slay the Spire is an easy recommendation, and I’m very excited to see how its sequel builds on an already excellent foundation. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/best-cozy-nintendo-switch-games monthly 0.5 2026-01-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/97609152-adfd-4325-a77e-39fb4843f341/stardew.jpg All Posts - 20+ Best Cozy Nintendo Switch Games for Relaxing Play in 2026 - Developer Image: ConcernedApe Amazon* Physical Copies: Nintendo Switch Of course, Stardew Valley is the obvious pick if you haven't already played it.

The game has a gothic theme, mysterious characters, and hints of lore scattered throughout unlocks and environments, but there’s never a clear sense of what you’re working toward, at least for me anyway. As I played, I often found myself unsure of what I was supposed to do to “complete” the game from a story perspective. Rather than following a narrative, progression comes from unlocking new characters, stages, and mechanics. For some that’s more than enough but personally, I found myself wishing for clearer direction or a more defined end goal. If there are plans for a Vampire Survivors 2 (and it certainly feels likely), I’d love to see a more structured way to experience and complete the story alongside the excellent gameplay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/51f936e5-a9a5-4d55-8cf2-8b68744b1b2d/vampire+survivors+3.jpg All Posts - Review: Vampire Survivors – An Addictive, Chaotic Roguelike You Can’t Put Down This is where Vampire Survivors truly shines. At its core, the gameplay is incredibly simple: you move your character, and everything else happens automatically. But that simplicity is exactly what makes it so compelling. Key gameplay features include: Addictive Roguelike Loop: Short runs that constantly tempt you to play “just one more” Automatic Combat: Focus entirely on movement and positioning while weapons trigger on their own Upgrade Chests: One of the most satisfying elements, opening chests and watching upgrades stack never gets old Character Variety: Each character feels distinct, encouraging experimentation Escalating Chaos: What starts calm quickly becomes overwhelming in the most satisfying way The real joy comes from watching your build come together. Seeing weapons evolve, stats stack, and the screen fill with effects is incredibly rewarding. Even though the visuals are fairly minimal overall, moments like opening chests and unlocking powerful upgrades are genuinely exciting. It’s low-pressure, mechanically forgiving, and easy to sink hours into without even realising, perfect for cozy gamers who enjoy roguelikes without intense mechanical demands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/cb563cc4-4953-4c64-8863-e8dd39913103/vampire+survivors+2.jpg All Posts - Review: Vampire Survivors – An Addictive, Chaotic Roguelike You Can’t Put Down Visually, Vampire Survivors isn’t flashy, but it doesn’t necessarily need to be. The retro-inspired graphics are simple and functional, prioritising clarity over detail. While the environments themselves aren’t particularly striking, the visual feedback during gameplay more than makes up for it. Chests bursting open, upgrades appearing, and enemies flooding the screen all contribute to that constant sense of momentum and reward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/36701f76-b3e2-4e64-bd7c-4466cc594651/vampire+survivors+4.jpg All Posts - Review: Vampire Survivors – An Addictive, Chaotic Roguelike You Can’t Put Down The soundtrack is low-key but really effective. It leans into a synthy, lo-fi, hip-hop-inspired vibe that changes depending on where you are in the game—shop, match, or menu. It’s subtle enough not to distract, but atmospheric enough to give the game a chilled-out rhythm that pairs nicely with its more intense strategic moments. It doesn’t try too hard, and that works in its favour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/c62fbb6f-d4a2-4325-90b4-acdce056337b/vampire+survivors+5.jpg All Posts - Review: Vampire Survivors – An Addictive, Chaotic Roguelike You Can’t Put Down Vampire Survivors is a deceptively simple game that delivers one of the most addictive gameplay loops I’ve experienced. While its visuals are understated and its story a little unclear, the moment to moment satisfaction of building powerful runs is hard to beat. For cozy gamers who enjoy roguelikes, low-pressure action, and games that feel comforting through repetition and reward, Vampire Survivors is absolutely worth your time. With clearer narrative progression, it could be even stronger, but as it stands, it’s an easy recommendation and a game I’ll happily keep coming back to. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/best-cozy-playstation-plus-games monthly 0.5 2026-01-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/4f9c6de4-d432-4445-9a6e-cfd6cee97d52/stardew+valley.jpg All Posts - 25+ Best Cozy PlayStation Plus Games to Wind Down With (2026 Edition) - Developer Image: ConcernedApe Available on: PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Playstation, Amazon Amazon* Physical Copies: Nintendo Switch Cost: €13.99 Stardew Valley is considered the peak of farming simulations, created by 1 developer in a solo project, and with many updates over the years it has grown to be an outstanding game in this genre.

Cast n Chill doesn’t follow a traditional narrative, instead letting its world and mechanics tell a quieter story. Rather than focusing on characters or plot, the game’s sense of progression comes from discovery. Each new fishing spot feels like opening up another chapter, and every new fish added to your collection builds a gentle sense of achievement. It’s a simple framework, but one that fits the game’s slow, cozy pacing perfectly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/48ba2472-6aa4-44ad-86c5-6e0fac8d3dd6/cast+n+chill+1.jpg All Posts - Review: Cast n Chill – A Beautifully Relaxing Fishing Game Made for Slowing Down At its heart, Cast n Chill is about relaxed, rewarding fishing.

The mix of puzzle and roguelike elements was a fab combination and a real unique way to play. Each run through its shifting rooms felt fresh, and the puzzles were challenging enough to make me pause and think without ever feeling punishing (although some were frustrating in the best possible way!). I spent hours experimenting with different strategies, and reaching Room 46 was a huge endorphin booster. Its eerie yet cozy atmosphere and addictive progression make it one of my standout puzzle experiences of 2025. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/1751717027166-OBDOEBDLTBXMOH51XD62/to+a+t.jpg All Posts - PeaPodGirl Game Awards My Favourite Games Played in 2025 - Developer Image: uvula LLC To a T To a T is delightfully bizarre and completely charming. Playing as a teenager stuck in a permanent T-pose, navigating school, chores, and a quirky seaside town with your dog is endlessly funny and surprisingly heartfelt. The minigames had me laughing at how delightfully awkward the controls were, but I never felt frustrated, just had fun. The world’s pastel-drenched visuals, offbeat characters, and catchy tunes made exploring each chapter a joy, and I kept coming back to see what small absurdity I’d uncover next. Even though it’s short, those four hours were packed with personality and heart, and it’s exactly the kind of adventure I couldn’t stop thinking about (or singing the songs!) after finishing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/5fe81963-1526-4c6d-bad8-8856579a60c9/tiny+bookshop+logo.jpg All Posts - PeaPodGirl Game Awards My Favourite Games Played in 2025 - Developer Image: Neoludic Games Tiny Bookshop Tiny Bookshop completely charmed me this year. Setting up my little van each day, chatting with locals, and recommending books felt quietly addictive, and I loved seeing customers return and build trust based on my choices. Decorating the shop, experimenting with stock, and discovering the town’s seasonal events all made the world feel alive without ever being stressful. It’s cozy, thoughtful, and perfectly paced, a management sim that rewards patience and curiosity, and one I happily lost hours to without even noticing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/2ad0384c-e4af-47ab-9472-f44991b3edc5/little+witch+in+the+woods.jpg All Posts - PeaPodGirl Game Awards My Favourite Games Played in 2025 - Developer Image: Sunny Side Up The soundtrack is low-key but really effective.

Running a tea shop in a peaceful forest, tending plants, brewing tea, and chatting with guests made me slow down and notice small, meaningful moments. The game’s gentle pacing and thoughtful storytelling made me reflect on rest, burnout, and the value of doing less, with a few moments that genuinely made me tear up. It’s a cozy game that’s also quietly profound, and took the cozy gaming genre into a clever direction focussing on what you might be trying to escape from in cozy gaming. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/14adc351-64dc-4da1-889c-d38f7d3fbccf/hades+II.jpg All Posts - PeaPodGirl Game Awards My Favourite Games Played in 2025 - Developer Image: Supergiant Games Hades II Hades II completely took over my gaming time this year when I got the Nintendo Switch 2. Every run felt slick, fast, and deeply satisfying, whether experimenting with a new weapon, chasing a specific boon, or telling myself I’d do “one more run” (and then doing five). Melinoë is a brilliant protagonist, the combat feels even more refined than the original, and the added variety in routes and progression kept things feeling fresh long after I should’ve burned out. It’s intense, stylish, and endlessly replayable, but what surprised me most was how comforting its rhythm became, dropping back into the Underworld, chatting with characters between runs, and slowly getting better without ever feeling punished. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/f110a83e-ac98-4e44-8c5d-bd05f1b453e2/ball+x+pit.jpg All Posts - PeaPodGirl Game Awards My Favourite Games Played in 2025 - Developer Image: Kenny Sun and Friends Ball X Pit Ball x Pit completely caught me off guard and ended up being one of my most-played games of the year. What started as “I’ll try a few runs and see if I like it” quickly turned into hours of experimenting with characters, chasing ball builds, and slowly upgrading the town between runs. Watching a run come together, balls evolving, fusing, filling the screen with colour, is weirdly calming, even when things get chaotic. I loved how no run ever felt wasted thanks to the constant sense of progression, and how the game gently pushed me to try new characters and playstyles instead of sticking to the characters I was most comfortable with. It’s not the sort of game I’d usually gravitate towards, but its rhythm, variety, and satisfying loop absolutely won me over. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/2ab6497b-e94a-4442-b22d-eed57c009d3e/pieced+together.jpg All Posts - PeaPodGirl Game Awards My Favourite Games Played in 2025 - Developer Image: Glowfrog Games Pieced Together The Pieced Together demo stuck with me long after I finished it. Sitting with Connie’s scrapbook, slowly placing bus tickets, photos, and birthday invites, felt quietly intimate in a way I didn’t expect from such a short experience. The way the story unfolds through interaction rather than exposition really worked for me, especially moments like the birthday page, where the colour drains away as invitations are declined, then floods back in when Beth says yes. The puzzles are gentle but meaningful, and I loved being able to personalise the pages with stickers, making each one feel a little bit mine. It’s rare for a demo to feel this emotionally complete while still leaving me excited to see more, but Pieced Together managed exactly that and it went straight on my wishlist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/cc35d41a-c3e5-4936-837e-47bbca932647/spiritfarer.jpg All Posts - PeaPodGirl Game Awards My Favourite Games Played in 2025 - Developer Image: Thunder Lotus Games Spiritfarer Even though Spiritfarer didn’t release this year, playing it for the first time in 2025 felt genuinely special. It’s one of those games that slowly works its way under your skin, through quiet routines, gentle management, and relationships that grow naturally over time. I got deeply attached to the spirits on my boat, putting off taking them to the Everdoor for as long as I could, even though I knew it was coming. The mix of resource management, exploration, and character stories creates a rhythm that’s soothing without ever feeling empty, and the emotional moments hit precisely because the game gives you space to sit with them, and most of the time decide when they can happen. Spiritfarer made me slow down, care deeply, and appreciate the time spent with each character, and it’s easily one of the most meaningful games I played all year, if not ever. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/e7173baf-64a9-4a0b-896c-7149bb5a7e70/zelda+3.PNG All Posts - PeaPodGirl Game Awards My Favourite Games Played in 2025 - Developer Image: Nintendo The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past I decided to broaden my horizons a little this year and play some more games on Nintendo Switch Online (NSO). Playing A Link to the Past made it immediately clear why this game is so beloved. Even decades later, it feels inventive, confident, and full of ideas that still shape the Zelda series today. From the moment the world opens up, Kakariko Village, meaningful item progression, the introduction of heart pieces and the Master Sword, everything feels purposeful and satisfying. The shift between the light and dark worlds was the moment it truly clicked for me, transforming what I thought would be a short, simple adventure into something far more ambitious and surprising. Yes, some dungeons tested my patience, but the mix of frustration, discovery, and eventual triumph is exactly what made it stick. It’s visually striking, beautifully scored, and endlessly influential, a game that not only holds up, but absolutely deserves its legendary status. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/e62c7c62-9b9b-4268-bb1a-55aeea79ff79/witchbrook.jpg All Posts - PeaPodGirl Game Awards My Favourite Games Played in 2025 - Developer Image: Chucklefish, Robotality Witchbrook Witchbrook became the game I was looking forward to most this year, with a release set initially for Q4 2025, a delay was called with the game now set to release in 2026. Everything shown so far, the soft pixel art, the magical school setting, the slow routines of studying, socialising, and building a life around witchy rituals looks to be everything I want out of a cozy game. It promises that perfect blend of structure and freedom: learning spells, forming friendships, decorating your space, and existing in a warm, magical world at your own pace. If it delivers on even half of that promise, Witchbrook feels like it could become a long-term comfort game and likely one of the most popular of 2026. Conclusion Looking back at this year in games, what stands out most isn’t just the variety, but how many of these experiences genuinely stayed with me. From the slow, thoughtful challenge of Blue Prince to the emotional comfort of Wanderstop, the quiet joy of digging through books in Tiny Bookshop, and the excitement and adrenaline of Hades II, these were the games that made me glad I took the time to play them. Some challenged me, some soothed me, some surprised me completely, but all of them left a mark and are worth celebrating. I’d love to know what your favourite games played this year were, let me know in the comments! And here’s to more excellent games in 2026! https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-hadesii monthly 0.5 2025-12-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/14adc351-64dc-4da1-889c-d38f7d3fbccf/hades+II.jpg All Posts - Review: Hades II – A Mythological Roguelike That’s High Energy, Stylish, and Endlessly Addictive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/14a2e97e-d332-4fff-af34-59d859be098a/hades+2.jpg All Posts - Review: Hades II – A Mythological Roguelike That’s High Energy, Stylish, and Endlessly Addictive In Hades II, you play as Melinoë, sister to Zagreus and daughter of Hades, as she fights her way through the Underworld and beyond. The story is strong, engaging, and full of personality, and Melinoë is just as likeable and compelling a protagonist as Zagreus was in the original game. As a big fan of Greek mythology, I loved meeting new gods alongside familiar faces. Seeing returning characters like Charon brought a lovely sense of nostalgia, while the new cast adds freshness and depth to the world. As expected from Supergiant Games, the voice acting across the board is absolutely top notch and brings every character to life beautifully. One of the biggest improvements is how much more you can interact with characters. From taking them to the baths to going fishing, these moments help boost friendships and gradually uncover more of the story. It adds warmth and emotional depth between intense runs, and gives you something meaningful to look forward to back at home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/b4485305-a5d0-4c13-b606-24a8ecfb5204/hades+1.jpg All Posts - Review: Hades II – A Mythological Roguelike That’s High Energy, Stylish, and Endlessly Addictive At its core, Hades II delivers the same addictive roguelike loop but with even more variety and refinement. Key gameplay highlights include: Multiple Run Routes: The addition of two separate run paths was a delightful surprise, instantly doubling variety and replayability. Weapon and Power Variety: With different weapon versions, boons, and upgrades, no two runs ever feel the same. Pet Companions: New companions add charm and strategic depth, helping keep each run feeling fresh. Progression That Always Feels Rewarding: Every run feels worthwhile, whether you’re unlocking new spells, gathering materials, strengthening relationships, or improving your skills. Smooth Learning Curve: The game throws you straight into the action, which feels instantly familiar for returning players while still giving newcomers a clear taste of what’s to come. What really makes Hades II shine is how addictive it is. Even when a run ends, I just couldn’t put it down, whether to try a run again with a new weapon, experiment with different boons, or improve my approach to enemy patterns and combat rhythm. While the game is challenging and takes time to master, progress never feels punishing. Each attempt teaches you something new, making improvement feel natural and deeply satisfying. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/2a9242e0-a800-480c-860e-944488c2f0b9/hades+5.jpg All Posts - Review: Hades II – A Mythological Roguelike That’s High Energy, Stylish, and Endlessly Addictive Hades II was the first game I played on the Nintendo Switch 2, and honestly, I was blown away. The game looks stunning, vibrant, bold, and beautifully animated and it runs incredibly smoothly. The art style is as striking as ever, with dramatic environments, expressive characters, and flashy combat effects that never feel overwhelming. Everything feels polished and fluid, making the fast paced action a joy to play and watch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/e5758657-67a3-4269-9ade-cb0026ea7b7a/hades+4.jpg All Posts - Review: Hades II – A Mythological Roguelike That’s High Energy, Stylish, and Endlessly Addictive The soundtrack is low-key but really effective. It leans into a synthy, lo-fi, hip-hop-inspired vibe that changes depending on where you are in the game—shop, match, or menu. It’s subtle enough not to distract, but atmospheric enough to give the game a chilled-out rhythm that pairs nicely with its more intense strategic moments. It doesn’t try too hard, and that works in its favour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/8bf8f356-0677-4fef-9a6f-8d85ce338359/hades+3.jpg All Posts - Review: Hades II – A Mythological Roguelike That’s High Energy, Stylish, and Endlessly Addictive Hades II is a standout game and one of my personal favourites of 2025. While it’s more action packed than the typical cozy game, its engaging characters, satisfying progression, and endlessly varied gameplay give it a strangely comforting rhythm once you settle in. Between the voice acting, strong story, refined combat, and amount of variety packed into every run, it’s a phenomenal sequel that builds beautifully on what made the original so special. If you’re looking to branch out from cozy gaming into something a little more intense, without losing that sense of connection and progression, Hades II is an excellent pick. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-cozy-grove monthly 0.5 2025-12-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/4917efd1-f6d5-427c-9e97-811d83b0d05c/cozy+grove.jpg All Posts - Review: Cozy Grove – A Gentle, Real Time Cozy Game Full of Heart and Daily Comfort https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/3ee65a21-c15a-463a-9022-4056fea4f340/cozy+crove+e.jpg All Posts - Review: Cozy Grove – A Gentle, Real Time Cozy Game Full of Heart and Daily Comfort At the heart of Cozy Grove are its ghostly bear spirits, each with their own sweet, thoughtful, and often emotional stories. As a Spirit Scout, your role is to help these bears remember parts of their lives by completing small tasks for them. Progressing the story is tied to building friendships and collecting Spirit Logs, which allow you to unlock new bears and storylines over time. Each bear feels distinct, with their own personalities, struggles, and memories, and unearthing their stories is the true core of the game. Helping the bears doesn’t just move the story forward, it feels meaningful. There’s a real sense of warmth in getting to know them, and the gentle storytelling makes Cozy Grove surprisingly touching without ever becoming heavy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/8aaae41e-d3e6-4e09-906b-a4e32a4cdf3d/cozy+grove+b.jpg All Posts - Review: Cozy Grove – A Gentle, Real Time Cozy Game Full of Heart and Daily Comfort Cozy Grove is built around simple, relaxing activities that refresh daily. Key gameplay elements include: Real-Time Daily Play: Each day offers a small set of tasks, making the game perfect for short, relaxing sessions. Resource Gathering: Catch critters, fish, pick fruit, collect shells, and forage around the island. Collections: Donate items to Captain Billweather Snout to fill out your collections and track progress. Crafting and Trading: As friendships grow, you can craft items and trade with bears, unlocking more ways to decorate your grove and tent. Customisation: There’s a huge amount of variety, from hairstyles and clothes to accessories, with new options appearing in the shop each day. Decorating: Personalise your tent and the island itself, making the grove feel uniquely yours. There’s always something small and satisfying to do, but never too much. The pacing is gentle and intentional, making Cozy Grove ideal for winding down after a long day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/b51b0eb3-c27c-4e5f-8f0e-8d407f761c40/cozy+grove+c.jpg All Posts - Review: Cozy Grove – A Gentle, Real Time Cozy Game Full of Heart and Daily Comfort Visually, Cozy Grove is incredibly charming. The hand drawn art style is soft, cute, and full of personality. One of my favourite touches is how the island starts off muted and grey, and bursts into colour around each bear when you complete their tasks. Watching sections of the grove come back to life, even if only for the day, is deeply satisfying and reinforces the idea that your help truly matters. Each bear’s area feels unique, and the overall aesthetic perfectly supports the calm, comforting tone of the game. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/81fc098d-0a29-45b0-9be3-843119dc351f/cozy+grove+a.jpg All Posts - Review: Cozy Grove – A Gentle, Real Time Cozy Game Full of Heart and Daily Comfort The soundtrack is low-key but really effective.

Its real time structure, gentle tasks, and heartfelt storytelling create an experience that’s perfect for unwinding and escaping into a calm, friendly world. Between helping ghostly bears rediscover their memories, decorating your space, and enjoying the slow rhythm of daily play, Cozy Grove offers something truly special. If you’re looking for a cozy game that feels warm, thoughtful, and soothing, this one is an excellent choice. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-ballxpit monthly 0.5 2025-12-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/f110a83e-ac98-4e44-8c5d-bd05f1b453e2/ball+x+pit.jpg All Posts - Review: Ball x Pit – A Surprisingly Meditative Roguelike Full of Colour and Variety https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/14ae6587-9932-4215-a88c-d14d79e4eb7a/ball+pit+1.jpg All Posts - Review: Ball x Pit – A Surprisingly Meditative Roguelike Full of Colour and Variety Ball x Pit isn’t driven by a traditional narrative, but it does offer a light, functional story framework that supports its gameplay loop. You’re gradually building up a town that exists alongside your runs, and as you progress, more characters, buildings, and systems unlock. Rather than telling a linear story, Ball x Pit focuses on progress through play. Each new character you unlock feels like discovering another piece of the world, and expanding your town gives a growing sense of place and purpose between runs. For me, the lack of a heavy narrative actually works in the game’s favour. It keeps the focus on experimentation, mastery, and progression, while still offering a satisfying sense that you’re building something meaningful over time. The town becomes an anchor point, a familiar space you return to between increasingly exciting runs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/307211b2-ba60-4d0b-a573-f427a065def1/ball+pit+3.jpg All Posts - Review: Ball x Pit – A Surprisingly Meditative Roguelike Full of Colour and Variety At its core, Ball x Pit is a roguelike built around variety, experimentation, and progression, and it absolutely shines in all three. Key gameplay features include: Huge Character Variety: You unlock multiple characters, each with their own unique playstyle. Some can only hit balls from the back, others completely change how turns work, and each one makes runs feel distinct and engaging. Encouraged Experimentation: Each run randomly boosts gold gain for a different character, nudging you to mix things up rather than stick to a single favourite. Ball Evolutions and Fusions: Finding the rare rainbow ball is always exciting, allowing you to evolve or fuse balls together. With over 60 balls available, builds can get wild very quickly. Town Building and Progression: Between runs, you build up a town that permanently improves your stats, from intelligence (boosting effect power) to dexterity (increasing critical hit chance). It’s incredibly satisfying and makes every run feel worthwhile. Loads of Content: With over 70 buildings, 8 full levels, and multiple characters required to clear each one, there’s a huge amount of gameplay on offer. The way progression is handled means that even a failed run never feels wasted. You’re always unlocking something, learning something, or building towards a stronger future run. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/65778b72-3790-488d-80d4-7166fa57fbe4/ball+pit+2.jpg All Posts - Review: Ball x Pit – A Surprisingly Meditative Roguelike Full of Colour and Variety While the art style might not initially be my personal cup of tea, the balls themselves completely won me over. Bright, vibrant colours bounce across the screen, and the more balls you have in play, the more exciting and visually satisfying it becomes. One of my favourite visual touches is the starry cutscene screen used for ball evolutions and fusions. It’s a lovely contrast to the more traditional, arcade style visuals and makes these moments feel special and rewarding. As builds grow more complex, the screen fills with colour and motion in a way that feels energetic rather than overwhelming, especially once you get into the flow of a run. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/98426bd7-d88a-4a6d-9ae7-4ce1279dfca5/ball+pit+4.jpg All Posts - Review: Ball x Pit – A Surprisingly Meditative Roguelike Full of Colour and Variety The soundtrack is low-key but really effective.

Between its massive variety, satisfying progression systems, and colourful, energetic gameplay, it stands out as one of my favourite roguelike experiences of 2025. While it may not be traditionally cozy, its meditative moments, rewarding town management, and addictive loop make it a fantastic pick for cozy gamers looking to branch into something a little more arcade driven. If you enjoy roguelikes with depth, variety, and constant progression, Ball x Pit is well worth your time. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/cozy-2player-games monthly 0.5 2025-12-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/9255d8d1-1256-40f5-a615-e37fc9a2e17c/split+fiction.jpg All Posts - Cozy 2-Player Games like It Takes Two to Relax and Play Together this Christmas - Developer Image: Hazelight Studios Available on: PC, Nintendo Switch, Playstation, Xbox Amazon* Physical Copies: Xbox Series X, PS5 Cost: €39.99 A wild co-op adventure where two writers get trapped inside their own twisted tales.

To make matters worse, your Aunt, who was meant to be looking after it, is missing. Your goal is to restore your home, explore the frozen wilderness, and eventually rescue your Aunt after she is taken by an owl. Along the way, you meet woodland characters, each with little tasks or quirks. Helping them isn’t required, but it’s satisfying, adds charm, and gives more reason to explore the forest. The story moves at a gentle pace, letting you enjoy both the narrative and your surroundings without pressure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/cd5adaae-9e28-4f95-8cd6-0e7699385906/Screenshot+2025-12-04+at+19.26.53.png All Posts - Review: Winter Burrow – A Cozy Woodland Survival Full of Crafting and Braving the Winter Cold Winter Burrow combines cozy exploration with light survival mechanics, making it accessible even for players new to survival games. Key gameplay elements include: Exploration: Wander through snow-covered forests, frozen streams, and hidden nooks to gather resources. Crafting & Baking: Make tools, knit warm sweaters, and bake pies to help yourself and woodland friends. Burrow Decorating: Restore and personalise your childhood home with collected resources. Survival Mechanics: Stay warm with fires and hot drinks, or risk freezing over, the frosting effect on the screen signals you’re too cold. If you pass out, you leave your items behind, adding a frustrating but satisfying layer of strategy. Inventory Management: Limited backpack space means planning what to carry, balancing supplies for warmth, crafting, and survival. Combat: Simple encounters with insect patches require caution; you’ll need to time your approach and manage resources. Please note: if you’re sensitive to insects or have arachnophobia, the forest does contain bug encounters. They’re stylised rather than realistic, but still a part of the survival loop. The balance of crafting, decorating, and careful exploration keeps the gameplay varied and engaging. Even the survival mechanics, like managing warmth, inventory, and insect encounters feel fair and well-integrated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/c4addb01-cfe0-49ab-9364-ca2e0a70c9a4/Screenshot+2025-12-04+at+19.28.15.png All Posts - Review: Winter Burrow – A Cozy Woodland Survival Full of Crafting and Braving the Winter Cold Winter Burrow shines visually with a soft, storybook-inspired art style that reminds me of Beatrix Potter illustrations. I loved these books as a child so this was a gorgeous visiual for me. The snow-laden trees, icy streams, and frost covered landscapes are charming and immersive. The burrow evolves as you restore it, giving a satisfying sense of progress. Woodland neighbours are expressive and quirky, adding personality to the forest. Small touches, like the frost creeping over the screen when you get too cold, communicate survival mechanics in a visually engaging way. The soundtrack and environmental sounds complement the winter woodland, providing a calm, cozy atmosphere but that get more tense in fighting scenes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/b4318b27-055d-459c-8aa7-9683f5555855/Screenshot+2025-12-04+at+19.27.06.png All Posts - Review: Winter Burrow – A Cozy Woodland Survival Full of Crafting and Braving the Winter Cold The soundtrack is low-key but really effective. It leans into a synthy, lo-fi, hip-hop-inspired vibe that changes depending on where you are in the game—shop, match, or menu. It’s subtle enough not to distract, but atmospheric enough to give the game a chilled-out rhythm that pairs nicely with its more intense strategic moments. It doesn’t try too hard, and that works in its favour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/e37bf071-9bc1-48ee-b3cd-e5c79bd3a8ca/Screenshot+2025-12-04+at+19.29.17.png All Posts - Review: Winter Burrow – A Cozy Woodland Survival Full of Crafting and Braving the Winter Cold Winter Burrow is a cozy, accessible survival game that balances crafting, exploration, and light challenge beautifully. The combination of baking pies, decorating your burrow, and helping woodland neighbours makes the experience satisfying and relaxing, while the survival elements, keeping warm, inventory management, and simple combat add enough tension to keep you engaged. With charming storybook visuals, quirky characters, and a gentle but engaging narrative, Winter Burrow is perfect for anyone looking to try a cozy survival game, explore a snowy woodland, or enjoy a slower-paced, crafty adventure. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-sopa-tale-of-the-stolen-potato monthly 0.5 2025-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/62606fd9-67f4-4be7-9eb3-2bbb76333b17/sopa+legend+of+the+stolen+potato.jpeg All Posts - Review: SOPA Tale of the Stolen Potato – A Quirky, Cozy Adventure Filled With Frogs & Fun https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/bb65a956-ca4c-4190-b8b5-eeb2defcb9f2/Screenshot+2025-11-28+at+17.52.04.png All Posts - Review: SOPA Tale of the Stolen Potato – A Quirky, Cozy Adventure Filled With Frogs & Fun Sopa begins with a young boy helping his grandmother in the kitchen. She sends you off to fetch a potato from the pantry, a simple task that spirals into chaos. Instead of grabbing a potato for dinner, you stumble into a frog, who steals the potato and transport you into an entirely different world. What follows is a whimsical, light-hearted journey to get your potato back, meeting wonderfully odd characters along the way. The writing is playful and funny, with a good dose of silliness that never tries too hard. The frogs, in particular, steal the show. As someone who loves frogs, their trumpety voices, goofy laughs and occasional musical moments had me smiling throughout. The story takes a fun and unexpected turn halfway through when you’re swallowed by a giant fish. Inside, you meet a group of human characters with their own strange little tasks to help you find your way out, so you can continue your hunt for the frog boss and reclaim that precious potato. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/82eb0170-da65-453a-9aff-d4899637a07e/Screenshot+2025-11-28+at+18.07.51.png All Posts - Review: SOPA Tale of the Stolen Potato – A Quirky, Cozy Adventure Filled With Frogs & Fun Gameplay in Sopa is simple, cozy and easy to follow, ideal if you’re looking for a stress-free experience.

Everything is painted in warm, saturated colours that feel inviting and playful. The cartoonish style suits the humour perfectly, and each area has its own whimsical charm. Character designs are expressive and fun, especially the frog gang with their smug grins and trumpety chatter. The visuals never try to be overly detailed or realistic, which works in Sopa’s favour, it leans fully into its storybook charm. The music is energetic and full of flavour, giving the entire adventure a vibrant cultural heartbeat. Each track adds life to the scenes, lifting even the simplest moments with warmth and personality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/4934374a-1f93-4d5e-b9e4-4a84964a0fcf/Screenshot+2025-11-28+at+18.07.03.png All Posts - Review: SOPA Tale of the Stolen Potato – A Quirky, Cozy Adventure Filled With Frogs & Fun The soundtrack is low-key but really effective.

Your goal? To collect as many adorable crawlers as possible, train them, build your deck of bug cards and ultimately win the Summer Beetle Battles Championship. There isn’t a deep, sprawling narrative here, instead we get a light, cheerful storyline that provides the perfect backdrop for the core gameplay loop. It’s relaxed yet purpose-driven, which fits beautifully with the cozy theme. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/22456be7-6547-4e64-80ef-3ebaab841bc6/IMG_0909.jpg All Posts - Review: Kabuto Park – A Wholesome Bug-Battler from the Makers of Minami Lane Gameplay is where Kabuto Park shines (and where your love of card battlers comes into play). The loop is straightforward and fun: Bug catching: You explore various areas of the park (each with different bugs) and use your net to catch them, where timing and location matter. Deck-building/level‐up: Each bug you catch contributes cards to your battling deck. You level up your favourite bugs, feed them candies to boost stats, and decide which bugs will form your team for battles. Battles: For the battling mechanic, cards run for a certain amount of time before the other team uses theirs. You need to strategise which cards (bugs) are strong enough, know their abilities, pick the right mix, and level up to be strong enough to win. You push opponents out of the ring in these cute little sumo-style bug battles. The gameplay is simplistic overall (which is a plus if you want a cozy, stress-free time) but there is just enough challenge, especially with rarer bugs and upgrading to make sure you’re competitive. I found the bug-catching mechanic fun and even a little challenging when hunting rarer bugs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/034c5323-1b51-4294-9e19-f2327fcc159e/IMG_0907.jpg All Posts - Review: Kabuto Park – A Wholesome Bug-Battler from the Makers of Minami Lane Visually, Kabuto Park is absolutely adorable. The art style leans heavily into the cozy indie look: soft edges, bright colours, cute bug designs and a joyful summer park vibe. The different areas you can go to for bug-catching each feel distinct and inviting. The animations like net swings, bug catches, card battle effects, are simple but charming. I particularly loved discovering the rarer bugs, they look extra sparkly and feel special. The art direction perfectly complements the chill-but-fun gameplay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/dea3b589-0dcb-4f35-b47b-620bdaf41152/IMG_0910.jpg All Posts - Review: Kabuto Park – A Wholesome Bug-Battler from the Makers of Minami Lane The soundtrack is low-key but really effective. It leans into a synthy, lo-fi, hip-hop-inspired vibe that changes depending on where you are in the game—shop, match, or menu. It’s subtle enough not to distract, but atmospheric enough to give the game a chilled-out rhythm that pairs nicely with its more intense strategic moments. It doesn’t try too hard, and that works in its favour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/663824de-a7f5-4ec5-a3e4-fab590c9f7d4/IMG_0908.jpg All Posts - Review: Kabuto Park – A Wholesome Bug-Battler from the Makers of Minami Lane In all, Kabuto Park is a delightful little gem. The same makers behind Minami Lane have created something that retains the cozy, handcrafted feel while adding a card-battler twist and bug-catching fun. If you’re a card battler fan and you love minimal complexity but maximum charm, this game gives you just that. It’s charming, fun, adorable and most importantly a pleasure to play. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/cozy-games-for-burnout monthly 0.5 2026-01-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/15477cbe-0d51-4ec4-ae9e-8a9eac7cc66a/Screenshot+2025-04-12+at+12.53.35.png All Posts - Cozy Games for Burnout: Low-Energy Games That Help Me Rest, Not Perform - Game Image: Wanderstop, Developer: Ivy Road https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/b0b678e9-d35a-450b-b570-0558b800ad84/unpacking+6.PNG All Posts - Cozy Games for Burnout: Low-Energy Games That Help Me Rest, Not Perform - Make it stand out Game Image: Unpacking, Developer: Witch Beam https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/bef5b176-ab09-4bfb-a667-59602e50f9bc/Screenshot+2025-05-17+at+13.54.12.png All Posts - Cozy Games for Burnout: Low-Energy Games That Help Me Rest, Not Perform - Make it stand out Game Image: Stardew Valley, Developer: ConcernedApe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/d62eefdf-d5c6-4a3f-8eb5-20f7eb5a12c2/IMG_0533.jpg All Posts - Cozy Games for Burnout: Low-Energy Games That Help Me Rest, Not Perform - Game Image: Tiny Bookshop, Developer: Neoludic Games Tiny Bookshop For: Slow living, meaningful choices, and cozy solitude This charming narrative sim lets you run a tiny travelling bookshop by the sea.

From there, you travel between small island communities, meeting their inhabitants and uncovering a story that’s far stranger than it first appears. Each location has its own history and problems to solve, and the more you explore, the more you piece together the island’s mysteries. The storytelling is subtle, most of it delivered through conversation, discoveries at sea, and the fish you haul up from the depths. It’s an effective way to build tension without ever resorting to jump scares or combat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/a6d774cf-af0b-45d3-8812-f7413a12a217/Screenshot+2025-05-16+at+10.16.02.png All Posts - Review: DREDGE – A Hauntingly Good Indie Fishing Game At its core, DREDGE is a fishing and exploration game. You’ll spend your time catching fish, upgrading your boat, and completing small tasks for locals. The fishing mini-game is simple but well designed, it’s a short rhythm-based challenge that keeps each catch engaging. Inventory management uses a Tetris-style layout in your boat’s hold, which adds a fun bit of strategy to how you store your catch and equipment. As night falls, the tone changes completely. Visibility drops, your character’s panic increases, and strange shapes begin to appear in the water. Repairs are expensive, so learning when to push your luck and when to turn back becomes part of the fun. The pacing is very well done too, each area introduces new equipment to unlock and new fish, keeping the loop fresh all the way through. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/df90d7b2-6015-4479-a5d0-e2680c707787/Screenshot+2025-05-16+at+10.17.37.png All Posts - Review: DREDGE – A Hauntingly Good Indie Fishing Game The art style is striking. DREDGE uses a stylised, slightly painterly look that suits its mix of calm and menace. The lighting is especially strong, soft and hazy during the day, then harsh and distorted after dark, with sudden flashes of colour cutting through the gloom. It gives the world a distinct personality and makes exploring feel rewarding, even when the tone leans towards the eerie. The design work sells the mood perfectly without being overdone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/2d51ce91-d85b-4358-b861-f6dac683357e/Screenshot+2025-05-16+at+10.21.44.png All Posts - Review: DREDGE – A Hauntingly Good Indie Fishing Game The soundtrack does a lot of heavy lifting in DREDGE. The music is gentle and understated while you’re out fishing, with low, drifting tones that make the sea feel vast and lonely. But as dusk approaches, the score begins to shift, subtle changes in tempo and melody build tension without ever breaking the atmosphere. The soundtrack blends into the background when you’re relaxed and suddenly sharpens your nerves when things start to go wrong. The ambient sounds, creaking wood, the hum of your engine, all add to that eerie sense of isolation the game captures so well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/e0d0ea22-eda2-46d5-8090-75769d12bbc9/Screenshot+2025-05-16+at+10.16.33.png All Posts - Review: DREDGE – A Hauntingly Good Indie Fishing Game - DREDGE isn’t a huge game, but it makes excellent use of its time. Each region has its own theme, challenges, and fish to discover. The story wraps up neatly, but there’s plenty to come back for if you enjoy filling out your journal or upgrading your boat fully. You can dip into for half an hour at a time, with just enough tension to keep things interesting. Personally I was hooked on it, and while it is a full story, I didn’t want it to end. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/f0f6184a-2746-43d8-bd04-68fddbc81be7/Screenshot+2025-05-16+at+10.16.19.png All Posts - Review: DREDGE – A Hauntingly Good Indie Fishing Game DREDGE is a standout indie title that proves you don’t need combat or chaos to create tension. It’s a beautifully made fishing adventure with a sharp sense of atmosphere and an excellent gameplay loop. If you enjoy games that mix calm exploration with a hint of mystery, DREDGE is well worth your time. It’s clever, quietly unsettling, and surprisingly hard to put down. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-spiritstead monthly 0.5 2025-10-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/b82968de-2675-42ac-b16a-10d87ecfc4fb/Header+Capsule.png All Posts - Demo Review: Spiritstead - A Cozy Town Builder with Magical Helpers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/72debe62-7665-4dc0-bc32-dfe4b9d3fcc2/IMG_0928.jpg All Posts - Demo Review: Spiritstead - A Cozy Town Builder with Magical Helpers While Spiritstead doesn’t have a traditional narrative, the world is full of personality and charm. You’re creating a magical village from scratch, assigning jobs to your residents, gathering resources, building houses, and balancing the needs and happiness of your villagers. The added spirits give a fun twist, as you progress, you unlock spirit buildings that release magical helpers who gather resources for you. It adds a touch of whimsy and makes the management feel lighter, letting you focus on expanding and decorating your town. The Halloween update adds delightful seasonal touches, with villagers in costumes, autumn themed decorations, and a spooky, cozy soundtrack that really sets the mood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/3c5821e8-f828-48b6-8cc2-00b0ac54e40b/IMG_0926.jpg All Posts - Demo Review: Spiritstead - A Cozy Town Builder with Magical Helpers The demo’s gameplay is easy to pick up and fairly relaxing. You assign villagers to work by cutting logs, growing carrots and then sell the produce to earn money to expand your village by buying new houses, unlocking buildings, and decorating your town. The pace is nicely balanced, it doesn’t take long to level up, unlock new buildings, and feel like the town is growing steadily. At first, managing resources felt a little repetitive when multiple villagers were working at once, but the spirits quickly solve that. Unlocking a spirit building adds magical helpers who automatically collect resources, which is both cute and incredibly satisfying. I played on Steam Deck, and it was a little clunky at first figuring out how to rotate items, but once I got the controls down it worked fine. I imagine it’s even smoother on PC with mouse and keyboard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/f65be9b8-d216-49fa-b642-71c983a6f20f/IMG_0929.jpg All Posts - Demo Review: Spiritstead - A Cozy Town Builder with Magical Helpers The art style is bright, colourful, and full of charm, with plenty of buildings, decorations, and seasonal touches.

The goal? Defeat the four heretic bishops and expand your cult’s influence.

Each follower has personality, and watching them react to rituals is a highlight in itself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/1b630929-8d79-4717-81e8-7ebcc381163a/cult+of+the+lamb+press+5.jpg All Posts - Review: Cult of the Lamb – Where Cute Animals Meets a Dark, Hilarious Cult Cult of the Lamb blends roguelike dungeon crawling with base management in a way that’s really addictive. Explore randomized dungeons to fight enemies, collect resources, and find new followers. Back at your cult, manage follower needs, build structures, perform rituals, and keep faith high, or face chaos. The loop is satisfying, dungeon success fuels cult growth, and a thriving cult unlocks new abilities for deeper dives. Every decision feels meaningful, from assigning followers to decorating your base. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/83a291a0-4c79-40c3-9d83-4be3e9c50f5f/cult+of+the+lamb+press+3.jpg All Posts - Review: Cult of the Lamb – Where Cute Animals Meets a Dark, Hilarious Cult The hand drawn visuals are just perfect in this game.

It leans into a synthy, lo-fi, hip-hop-inspired vibe that changes depending on where you are in the game—shop, match, or menu. It’s subtle enough not to distract, but atmospheric enough to give the game a chilled-out rhythm that pairs nicely with its more intense strategic moments.

Dave, who’s equal parts capable and clueless, finds himself roped into managing a sushi restaurant while exploring the mysterious Blue Hole. The cast of characters you meet along the way are ridiculous in the best way, and I found myself genuinely excited to see what oddball request or strange plot twist would pop up next. There’s a sizeable ongoing story with the characters you meet which was a nice surprise, I thought it’d be wrapped up in 10 hours but I got way into the 30 hour mark. It’s lighthearted and funny but with plenty to unravel throughout the game. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/9de2bcd6-81f2-4e9b-ab1c-79c86ce828dc/dave+the+diver+2.jpg All Posts - Review: Dave the Diver – A Deep Sea Adventure Full of Charm and Surprise By day, you’re diving in the ever-changing Blue Hole, catching fish, salvaging resources, and occasionally fending off underwater dangers. By night, you’re back in the sushi restaurant, serving customers, upgrading your menu, and trying to keep up with the dinner rush. The loop is very addictive. It’s relaxing when you want to zone out and explore, but there’s a real thrill in catching a rare fish or serving all customers without any timing out. Honestly, I lost whole evenings without noticing because “just one more dive” turned into five. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/db7647bb-8ebe-4d36-9eea-e2be392fdc7e/dave+the+diver+5.jpg All Posts - Review: Dave the Diver – A Deep Sea Adventure Full of Charm and Surprise I love good pixel art, and Dave the Diver is really very pretty. The underwater sections are vibrant, detailed, and full of life, and above water, the sushi bar bursts with charm, from the character designs to animations of customers enjoying their meals. It’s colourful, polished, and full of personality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/e35ab935-cebb-4ad0-8e9b-7438f8dc2060/dave+the+diver+4.jpg All Posts - Review: Dave the Diver – A Deep Sea Adventure Full of Charm and Surprise The soundtrack is low-key but really effective.

It’s a game that takes two things you’d never think to put together, scuba diving and sushi bar management and it really works to keep the gameplay fresh. Between the addictive gameplay loop, the eccentric cast, and the charm of Dave himself, it’s one of the best cozy games I’ve played this year. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-barbie-project-friendship monthly 0.5 2025-09-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/b9c23468-d7fa-41bc-aa13-f09fcc811924/barbie.jpg All Posts - Review: Barbie Project Friendship - A Sweet, Relaxing Adventure for Young Gamers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/c2e95cae-9856-4bc2-b0d5-bd8d44c48740/Screenshot+2025-08-18+at+17.34.20.png All Posts - Review: Barbie Project Friendship - A Sweet, Relaxing Adventure for Young Gamers At its core, Barbie Project Friendship revolves around helping Barbie "Malibu" Roberts, who goes by Malibu in this game, and her friends, like Ken and Nikki, bring their spaces back to life. Whether it’s renovating a rundown beach or giving the vet clinic a fresh look, the narrative’s all about teamwork, friendship, and light-hearted fun. The dialogue between characters, which I wasn't expecting to be all that engaging, actually turned out to be quite funny at times, and the game’s actually fully voiced which I wasn’t expecting either, which was a pleasant surprise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/ec3e1737-b5a0-4725-a3f4-66197ec5ac4f/Screenshot+2025-08-18+at+17.34.45.png All Posts - Review: Barbie Project Friendship - A Sweet, Relaxing Adventure for Young Gamers The gameplay follows a familiar pattern: you enter a space, it’s a bit of a mess, and you complete various tasks to clean it up and decorate it. Simple enough, but it’s surprisingly satisfying to see everything come together. You might be picking up litter, fixing things, or collecting items. The tasks never get too complicated, which makes it really accessible for younger players. For a Barbie game, I was expecting a bigger variety, especially when it comes to decorating spaces or choosing outfits. You get a selection of items, but it’s fairly basic, nothing that really screams Barbie’s world of endless possibilities like I expected. I was hoping for more customization choices, especially since Barbie is all about fashion and personal expression. The lack of variety in both the clothing and décor felt like a missed opportunity to make the game even more engaging. I would’ve loved to see more options for outfits and décor, allowing players to get a little more creative with their spaces and character looks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/28cdf612-f23a-4e71-bfcb-268246e48d17/Screenshot+2025-08-18+at+17.36.12.png All Posts - Review: Barbie Project Friendship - A Sweet, Relaxing Adventure for Young Gamers Visually, Barbie Project Friendship is really bright and cheerful. The colours pop, and the spaces you transform look noticeably better after you’ve worked your magic. It’s a feel-good vibe all around. The character models are cute, and while the game’s not going for realism, it’s charming in its own way. Everything feels polished, even if it’s not pushing any visual boundaries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/ee38b5b4-275b-4894-a4de-fb32d4b37a14/Screenshot+2025-08-18+at+17.36.27.png All Posts - Review: Barbie Project Friendship - A Sweet, Relaxing Adventure for Young Gamers The soundtrack is low-key but really effective.

Once you've cleaned up a few locations and done a couple of mini-games, you’ve seen most of what the game has to offer. But for younger players, especially those who enjoy a bit of repetitiveness and the joy of seeing spaces transform, it’s probably got enough to keep them entertained for up to 10 hours. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/7a9be937-57a9-4293-9bb0-9ba2cf7aef6e/Screenshot+2025-08-18+at+17.37.19.png All Posts - Review: Barbie Project Friendship - A Sweet, Relaxing Adventure for Young Gamers All in all, Barbie Project Friendship is a lovely, easygoing game with a lot of heart. While there are a few areas where I wish there was a bit more variety, like with the decoration options or clothing choices. it’s still a nice game to play through if you’re after something light and cheerful. It might not have long-lasting appeal for older players, but it’s definitely a win for its target audience: young gamers who want to help their favourite characters build and restore in a fun, low-pressure setting. If you go in with low expectations, you’ll probably be pleasantly surprised. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/cozy-games-nintendo-direct-september-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/cc72e7ee-c514-4056-8602-369fe52d6db6/super+mario+galaxy.jpg All Posts - Cozy Games Revealed in the September 2025 Nintendo Direct - Developer Image: Nintendo Release Date: 4th February 2026 The original Galaxy game, first released on the Wii in 2007, is being remastered for the Nintendo Switch.

But things don’t stay simple for long. As you expand your store and start buying up empty storefronts (I recently took over the old tea shop), the townsfolk begin to push back. Complaints about the “loss of community” start to emerge, and my once charming aunt is suddenly pushing for expansion at any cost. It's a fun twist on the usual cozy game formula, instead of helping the town bloom, you're accidentally becoming the corporate threat. There’s definitely some story intrigue brewing, and the writing has just enough quirky humour to keep things light even as themes of capitalism and community start to poke through. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/a1d605ca-100d-498b-b4ee-767f57484119/IMG_0563.jpg All Posts - Review: Discounty – A Quirky, Cozy Shop Sim With a Capitalist Twist The real star of the show is the shop management system, which I have to say is excellent. You begin wandering the town, meeting locals, and completing little quests to earn trade deals. Sell some unpopular festive fish fingers to get access to better seafood, or help a farmer wrangle her sheep to unlock oat deliveries. It’s an inventive and personal way to grow your product list, and it makes you feel more involved in the world. Once you’ve got stock coming in, you have to get organised. From apples to toilet roll, every product has its own profit margin, and you’re working with limited space, especially early on. You can upgrade the layout with special coolers and display units, bought from the town handyman, which boost the appeal of certain items. Then comes opening time at 9AM sharp, and you’ll be restocking shelves, managing your tiny space, and working a delightfully fiddly checkout system. On Switch 2, you’ve got a product catalogue on the left and a retro style calculator on the right, where you punch in prices using the analogue stick, flicking and selecting each number manually. It’s oddly satisfying, especially once you start to memorise your prices and race against the clock to avoid impatient customers. There’s a light, fun tension that makes each shop day feel rewarding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/5686c30d-12ac-484f-b2ad-80c71c959535/IMG_0560.jpg All Posts - Review: Discounty – A Quirky, Cozy Shop Sim With a Capitalist Twist Discounty sports a bright, cheerful pixel art style with just enough charm to keep things cozy without slipping into twee. I really like the bright colours, though it’s worth noting that you’ll mostly see the world in dawn or dusk shades, since your shop hours keep you busy during the day. Sundays, when the shop is closed, are your chance to roam around and soak in the town at full brightness. Each part of the world feels thoughtfully designed, and I appreciated how new areas and characters reveal themselves slowly over time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/207b5782-3794-40ac-9ed6-9f38b3f48a60/IMG_0561.jpg All Posts - Review: Discounty – A Quirky, Cozy Shop Sim With a Capitalist Twist The soundtrack is low-key but really effective. It leans into a synthy, lo-fi, hip-hop-inspired vibe that changes depending on where you are in the game—shop, match, or menu. It’s subtle enough not to distract, but atmospheric enough to give the game a chilled-out rhythm that pairs nicely with its more intense strategic moments. It doesn’t try too hard, and that works in its favour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/7a083222-50e9-4b21-8a1d-326351849cb5/IMG_0559.jpg All Posts - Review: Discounty – A Quirky, Cozy Shop Sim With a Capitalist Twist If you love games with a satisfying loop of stocking shelves, helping customers, and gradually building your dream discount store, Discounty absolutely delivers. It’s cozy, yes, but not without a twist. With a subtle commentary on small town economics and a standout checkout mechanic that’s more fun than you’d expect, this is a charming little surprise that’s hard to put down. Highly recommended for fans of shop management simulations or anyone who’s ever wanted to run a tiny empire from a one room shop. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-tunic monthly 0.5 2025-08-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/3873ce75-0046-4e10-9d8e-121ac83f0f2e/tunic.jpg All Posts - Review: Tunic - A Clever Action-Adventure Full of Hidden Depths https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/b274efba-3199-4b98-8925-bc607484582c/Screenshot+2025-08-18+at+17.28.50.png All Posts - Review: Tunic - A Clever Action-Adventure Full of Hidden Depths Tunic drops you into the world without much explanation. You play as a small fox waking up on a beach, and that’s about all the setup you get. There’s no long intro or dialogue, just places to explore, doors to unlock, and bits of an ancient looking manual to find. The story is told almost entirely through the world itself and the in game instruction booklet, which is mostly written in a made up language. At first I thought I was missing something, but then it started to make sense, not all at once, just gradually, through clues and patterns and the more pages I uncovered. If you like figuring things out for yourself, you’ll enjoy how Tunic handles its story. It doesn’t force anything, but there’s definitely something deeper going on if you want to find it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/b1353dcb-2704-48a9-b934-49f357ddee28/Screenshot+2025-08-18+at+17.20.46.png All Posts - Review: Tunic - A Clever Action-Adventure Full of Hidden Depths The game looks cute, but it’s quite challenging in places. You’ve got real time combat with a stamina bar, a dodge roll, and all the usual tools like a sword, shield, bombs and potions. There’s a bit of Souls like structure to it too, rest points, health flasks, enemies that respawn, but it’s never overwhelming. Where Tunic really shines is in its world design and puzzles. It’s full of hidden paths, shortcuts, and little secrets that don’t call attention to themselves. Some of the puzzles are so well hidden that you might not even realise they are puzzles at first. I kept having moments where I’d suddenly remember something from hours ago and rush back to check it, and more often than not, there was something there. The in game manual is one of the smartest parts. It looks like a proper printed booklet, with pages scattered across the world. Some explain the mechanics, some are maps, some are just drawings, but it all adds up over time and its really satisfying when things start to click into place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/d10fd45d-0c56-4e8d-8db8-3214e8a927c4/Screenshot+2025-08-18+at+17.27.13.png All Posts - Review: Tunic - A Clever Action-Adventure Full of Hidden Depths Tunic has a clean, isometric art style with bright colours and lovely lighting. It’s simple, but everything looks well considered. Your main fox character is just adorable, good weight to him and I lovely bobbing movement. I loved the way his head would occasionally turn while you’re running to indicate there might be something hidden he’s looking at. Areas are distinct and easy to navigate, with little visual details that help guide you even without a map. I really liked how tidy it all feels, nothing’s cluttered, but there’s still a lot of depth if you stop and look around. There are moments where the camera pulls back to show you something big, or where you catch a glimpse of an area you haven’t reached yet through a telescope, and it always made me want to keep going. It’s not flashy, but it’s polished and thoughtful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/49d43740-b9c0-4b0b-a411-64738176ece3/Screenshot+2025-08-18+at+17.30.35.png All Posts - Review: Tunic - A Clever Action-Adventure Full of Hidden Depths The soundtrack is low-key but really effective.

There are secret puzzles, a hidden ending, and clever little mechanics that most players probably won’t spot on their first run. There’s also a brilliant late game puzzle path that completely changes how you see the game, but I won’t spoil it here. Just know that if you enjoy piecing things together, Tunic has more than enough to keep you thinking and want to keep looking for more secrets to complete the manual. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/bcbf4863-0894-469b-af3a-8bc824cbbcd9/Screenshot+2025-08-18+at+17.27.26.png All Posts - Review: Tunic - A Clever Action-Adventure Full of Hidden Depths Tunic is a smart, surprising game that hides a lot under the surface. It looks like a straightforward adventure at first, but slowly reveals itself to be something much more thoughtful and layered. If you enjoy games with secrets, exploration, puzzles and Zelda-like/light souslike battles, this is absolutely worth playing. It’s cozy in the sense that it encourages you to go at your own pace, trust your instincts, and enjoy the process of discovery. I completely loved it, didn’t find it too difficult except for the final boss, but it was a well earned challenge Definitely recommended for cozy gamers who like their games with a bit of mystery, and anyone who gets a thrill of figuring things out for themselves without much handholding. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/kirby-air-riders monthly 0.5 2025-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/c6c4543f-ab98-4a3b-918a-59f5470e0b08/kirby+airriders.jpg All Posts - Kirby Air Riders Direct Preview: Sakurai’s New Racing Game Is a Wild Ride - Image: Nintendo.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/87c5207c-dbad-464e-92be-9fc69faac365/kirby+airriders.png All Posts - Kirby Air Riders Direct Preview: Sakurai’s New Racing Game Is a Wild Ride - Make it stand out Image: Nintendo.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/aad68a80-5411-4b66-8c1d-0677ead07748/kirby+6.png All Posts - Kirby Air Riders Direct Preview: Sakurai’s New Racing Game Is a Wild Ride - Make it stand out Image: Nintendo.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/496ffde9-5bfc-4f53-8f48-44c678603f9c/kirby+2.png All Posts - Kirby Air Riders Direct Preview: Sakurai’s New Racing Game Is a Wild Ride - Make it stand out Image: Nintendo.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/46c9c2f5-dda9-4ad6-893e-c617b506851f/kirby+5.png All Posts - Kirby Air Riders Direct Preview: Sakurai’s New Racing Game Is a Wild Ride - Make it stand out Image: Nintendo.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/983a9892-1fc9-49a0-88f1-031a7a783736/kirby+8.png All Posts - Kirby Air Riders Direct Preview: Sakurai’s New Racing Game Is a Wild Ride - Image: Nintendo.com https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-tiny-bookshop monthly 0.5 2025-08-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/934babce-8b74-49f2-8e9f-7350a9439452/tiny+book+shop.jpg All Posts - Review: Tiny Bookshop – A Cozy Management Sim for Book Lovers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/d62eefdf-d5c6-4a3f-8eb5-20f7eb5a12c2/IMG_0533.jpg All Posts - Review: Tiny Bookshop – A Cozy Management Sim for Book Lovers I’ve just finished my first season in Tiny Bookshop and already it feels like the perfect blend of cozy comfort and gentle thinking I’m going to keep coming back to. It’s not stressful, just satisfying. You’re a roaming bookseller in a seaside town, setting up your trailer, chatting to locals and recommending books. Tiny Bookshop unfolds its story slowly, on purpose. The people in town start off as friendly faces, but over time, their personalities and lives begin to emerge. Characters drop hints, reference past events, and even ask for help. It’s all very light and unforced, more like drifting into a small community than being handed a script to follow. There’s a real sense of place to it all. The town feels lived in, and the way the story develops through your daily rhythm with customer chats and feels more organic than structured. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/abea32d0-b7f2-405b-a63a-67ab67e66c6e/IMG_0536.jpg All Posts - Review: Tiny Bookshop – A Cozy Management Sim for Book Lovers Running the shop is its own slow, rhythmic pleasure. Each morning you're choosing where to park up, maybe by the waterfront, the local store, or the weekend flea market. Then comes the real fun, carefully stocking your mini library of real titles and waiting to help customers sift through. Decorating your shop isn’t just for looks either. Items like plants, seats or birdhouses can boost sales of certain genres, or hinder others. A creepy skull might draw in crime lovers but scare off casual browsers. These little trade-offs add some light strategy without ever breaking the relaxed pace. The highlight, for me, is the recommendation mechanic. A visitor might say, “I liked Wuthering Heights, but please no romance in my next book” and you’ve got to dig through what you’ve got and find something that fits. Nailing that is a great satisfaction, customers will then buy more, return later, and build trust. It’s what makes the whole loop feel genuinely rewarding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/aedec316-ee11-4203-ac1e-01447e5d1329/IMG_0534.jpg All Posts - Review: Tiny Bookshop – A Cozy Management Sim for Book Lovers The art style is watercolour-inspired, soft, dreamy, and lovely without being twee. It’s got that hand painted feel that works so well for cozy games, with muted pastels and gentle animations. I liked that you can paint your van and buy new paints and decorations at the fleamarket, and when you’re selecting your items to add around and on the van it really gives the van your own flare and character. There’s also a nice level of polish. Nothing flashy, but everything works together cleanly, menus, UI and shop layout all work well together and support the calming tone without getting in the way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/4103a31b-1272-4314-b786-a4f7450f2d7d/IMG_0537.jpg All Posts - Review: Tiny Bookshop – A Cozy Management Sim for Book Lovers The soundtrack is low-key but really effective.

Over time, you’ll unlock new locations, discover seasonal events, and gradually unravel more about the town’s goings on. The game uses a journal and town newspaper system to track everything, from customer favourites to wider community events, which helps keep you feeling involved without ever overwhelming you. With new stock rotating in, and real books, there's genuine curiosity in seeing what’s next. I’ve even recommended books to customers that I ended up looking up for myself. It’s also worth noting how well this has landed with players: high praise on Steam, tons of positive reviews, and a strong showing in the cozy game community already. It’s not just a good idea, it’s a well-executed one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/72e3423b-ebcc-4fcf-8c42-1a477142be90/IMG_0539.jpg All Posts - Review: Tiny Bookshop – A Cozy Management Sim for Book Lovers Tiny Bookshop is the kind of game that doesn’t shout for your attention, but keeps earning it. It’s gentle, bookish, and quietly addictive. It understands the joy of browsing shelves, making thoughtful choices, and watching small things grow over time. If you love management sims, books, or just want something that feels calm without being empty, this is a must-play.

Lots of meadows, pretty ponds and bridges to cross, flowers, birds butterflies, and the buildings look good. It’s not a technical masterpiece, theres some blocky textures and a few odd glitches here and there, but the art direction is charming in its own quiet way. I actually don’t mind how it looks. What’s missing, though, is atmosphere. There was a nice moment when it started to rain and I thought, “Yes! Here we go…” but then it just sort of... existed. There’s cuteness here, but it’s not pulling me in emotionally, at least not yet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/f258e321-cfd7-4926-a1cc-60eb4b507df9/tales+of+shire+1.jpg All Posts - Tales of the Shire: A Cozy Lord of the Rings Life Sim That Might Be Missing the Magic The Music’s Fine. Just… Fine. It’s gentle, which suits the genre, but not especially memorable. For a game set in Middle-earth, I was hoping for something a bit more sweeping or magical. Instead, it kind of just floats in the background. It does the job, but doesn’t stir much. Cozy Tasks, But Not Cozy Characters The early gameplay loop is pretty fetch-quest heavy. Find a book. Oh no, that person doesn’t have it. Try someone else. It’s a familiar cozy trope, but it’s delivered in a way that feels a little lazy, like it’s trying to stretch out the tutorial by making you run errands. Only a few characters are actually interactable (maybe a quarter of the people I’ve seen so far?), and the first one who guides you through the basics is honestly bit dull. The humour didn’t land, and their personality felt paper thin. Which is disappointing, because this is a world packed with lore and depth. I was hoping for characters with more layers and interesting qualities, something to ground me in the community I’m meant to be part of. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/853e99c2-f2ba-421b-95cf-0fd607d1c20d/tales+of+shire+4.jpg All Posts - Tales of the Shire: A Cozy Lord of the Rings Life Sim That Might Be Missing the Magic Cooking Starts Off Simple, But Gets Better At first, I was disappointed by the cooking. Click to chop. Click to add. That’s it? For a game about running a cozy home and preparing meals, it felt too shallow. But once I got a few recipes, the cooking mechanic opens up, adjusting taste and texture, smooth or chunky, tender or firm, and balancing ingredients to hit the “ideal dish.” I still wouldn’t call it deep, but it’s more thoughtful than it first appeared and I quite enjoyed the minigame. Foraging, Fishing, Gardening & Daily Life Foraging is pretty much what you’d expect: pick mushrooms and berries, maybe follow a butterfly to a hidden patch. Gardening is simple, plant, water, harvest, but crops grow fast, and it looks like you only grow what you need, rather than farming big fields. That feels manageable, in a nice way. Fishing was straight forward, cast your line and then a pull and release type method to prevent snagging your line, similar to the fishing in Spiritfarer. This may increase in difficulty with getting rarer fish overtime which I’d prefer. The backpack is small early on, but the pantry holds more than I thought it would. I loved that the market updates daily with new clothes and items. Furniture and outfit customisation might end up being one of my favourite parts of the game. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/a6bd82e8-c46e-4f38-9115-29cac644d37e/tales+of+shire+2.jpg All Posts - Tales of the Shire: A Cozy Lord of the Rings Life Sim That Might Be Missing the Magic So… Is It Worth Playing? I don’t think the early reviews are wrong, but they might be a bit harsh. Tales of the Shire is cozy. There are warm colours, soft mechanics, and the pace is nice and slow. But so far, it feels a little hollow. There’s no real story thread yet, the characters feel surface level, and the dialogue leans too hard on using the word “cozy” like it’s trying to manifest it. It wants to be comforting, but doesn’t quite know how to build connection yet. Final Thoughts (for Now) I’m going to keep going. There’s enough here that I’m curious, especially about the house customisation and how the cooking evolves. And visually, it’s relaxing to spend time in. But two hours in, I’m still waiting for it to give me something to care about. So far? It’s cozy in theory, not in feeling. Pretty, but emotionally flat. Have you tried Tales of the Shire yet? I’d love to know how it landed for you, especially if you found a spark I haven’t seen yet.

You play as a 13 year old unable to move out of a rigid T-pose. Rather than framing this as a curse, the story gently explores themes of self-acceptance, community, and growing up a little different. The townsfolk are largely unfazed by your unusual posture, except for the school bullies, but eventually offering both help and hilariously awkward obstacles in equal measure. There's no big villain or dramatic conflict, but the story is genuinely unique and takes some fun turns are the story progresses that I wasn’t expecting, while being a slice-of-life tale about fitting in, adapting, and finding joy in your own weirdness. Some routines can feel a little repetitive or even tedious, by the end of a chapter I often had my fill, but its infectious personality always made me excited for the next instalment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/8876d8d4-d59e-4859-bd5c-178b48111b35/Screenshot+2025-07-01+at+16.03.29.png All Posts - To a T Review: A Whimsically Peculiar Indie Gem That’ll Stick with You Gameplay in To a T is refreshingly simple but smartly layered. You’ll go about everyday tasks, brushing teeth, going to school, navigating doorways, all while your arms jut out horizontally. This physical limitation creates clever, sometimes laugh-out-loud mechanics. Movement is intentionally wobbly and slightly awkward, but never frustrating. The minigames are quirky and frequent: washing your face, pouring milk on cereal, sandwich eating competitions for example. While some games repeat or feel slightly shallow, they’re spaced out enough to remain charming. The controls are responsive, and there's a subtle rhythm to how the game encourages experimentation. Success often comes not from precision, but from embracing the chaos. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/ba801f97-b46b-46e1-8839-fcd7f387982c/Screenshot+2025-07-01+at+16.02.44.png All Posts - To a T Review: A Whimsically Peculiar Indie Gem That’ll Stick with You To a T has a pastel-drenched, cartoon‑book art style that perfectly matches its quirky tone. Character models are intentionally blocky yet expressive. Every NPC, from the giraffe sandwich-vendor to the weight-lifting penguin, pops against the softly coloured suburban backdrop. The use of visual humour is spot-on: exaggerated character poses, sight gags hidden in environment details, and little animations that reward slow exploration. Rather than aiming for realism, the team leans into a stylised aesthetic, bright palettes, bold shapes, minimal textures, creating a cohesive, storybook-like world that feels both familiar and delightfully odd . Subtle design choices, like the gentle wobble of arms, enhance the comedic effect while keeping the world immersive. Camera angles and UI are clean and unobtrusive, letting the visuals do the talking. It’s a refreshing reminder that charm and cohesion in game visuals can make a stronger impact than flashy graphics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/2f5f6256-465f-41d2-878f-25ea9266eb93/Screenshot+2025-07-01+at+16.01.39.png All Posts - To a T Review: A Whimsically Peculiar Indie Gem That’ll Stick with You The soundtrack is low-key but really effective. It leans into a synthy, lo-fi, hip-hop-inspired vibe that changes depending on where you are in the game—shop, match, or menu. It’s subtle enough not to distract, but atmospheric enough to give the game a chilled-out rhythm that pairs nicely with its more intense strategic moments. It doesn’t try too hard, and that works in its favour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/99c5a149-e292-41b8-b785-4924ced524c3/Screenshot+2025-07-01+at+16.01.53.png All Posts - To a T Review: A Whimsically Peculiar Indie Gem That’ll Stick with You - Clocking in at around four hours, To a T is a short experience, but it never overstays its welcome. Each chapter introduces new areas and interactions, making the runtime feel just right. It’s ideal for dipping into across a few evenings, especially for players who prefer gentle pacing over big dramatic arcs. There’s little in the way of replayability, but that’s not a bad thing. To a T is a self-contained story with a clear beginning, middle, and end. It’s like a playable animated film, something you savour once, remember fondly, and perhaps revisit just to feel good, or hear the songs again! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/9cb4f94e-6257-463b-a0bb-6d9958f7a052/Screenshot+2025-07-01+at+16.05.09.png All Posts - To a T Review: A Whimsically Peculiar Indie Gem That’ll Stick with You To a T is a wonderfully weird and deeply endearing indie title that’s unlike anything else. With its heartfelt and silly story, clever mechanics, and offbeat charm, it nestles comfortably into the cozy gaming genre. It’s perfect for fans of narrative-driven experiences, wholesome oddities, or anyone who appreciates games that dare to be different. While not every minigame is a hit, the overall experience is rich in creativity and joy. To a T is a reminder that video games can be both silly and sincere, and that sometimes, being stuck can help you move forward in the most unexpected ways. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/cozy-games-for-summer monthly 0.5 2025-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/1720733951921-C5ODZCYZEJP0EKJF2MVP/A+short+hike.jpg All Posts - 15+ Chill and Cozy Games That Capture the Feeling of Summer - Developer Image: Adam Robinson Yu Available on: Steam, Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Gamepass Take a break and climb a small mountain in A Short Hike, a delightful indie game that blends exploration, tiny quests, and peaceful moments.

The narrative is all in how each run plays out, the unexpected combos, the nail-biting bosses, the surprise upgrades. You’re not following a plotline, but you are shaping a unique run every time, which ends up being more engaging than you might expect. It’s got that “just one more go” feeling that good roguelikes need to excel at. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/2694077f-53d2-4e63-9028-ffe72304ec49/Screenshot+2025-06-01+at+12.35.14.png All Posts - Balatro Review: A Clever, Addictive Twist on Deckbuilding Roguelikes This is where Balatro really stands out. You’re technically playing poker hands, but the goal isn’t to win at poker, it’s to maximise your score based on your build. For example, you might have three jokers that give bonus multipliers for clubs, so suddenly you're prioritising those over traditional poker logic. In some cases, a simple pair can earn you more points than a flush if you’ve upgraded it enough. That shift in thinking is what makes it so satisfying. It’s genuinely enjoyable to start each run not knowing which direction you’ll go, whether it’s levelling up your hands with planet cards, a focus on tarot cards to boost individual cards, or maximising your jokers abilities. The tarot and celestial cards add another layer of variety, and unlike a lot of roguelikes that claim endless combinations but you end up in the same playstyle every time, Balatro actually encourages experimentation. And it rewards it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/94eb81f6-7e54-4f6a-a003-7abb516fb638/Screenshot+2025-06-01+at+12.35.27.png All Posts - Balatro Review: A Clever, Addictive Twist on Deckbuilding Roguelikes The visual style is bright, retro-inspired, and full of charm. It’s not flashy, but it doesn’t need to be. Everything from the jokers to the background art feels designed with personality and clarity in mind. The colours pop, animations are slick, and the interface is clean and easy to read, crucial when you’re juggling stats and effects mid run. It’s got that modern pixel-art look that feels familiar but still polished. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/aee2a2e2-75fa-4e25-a094-eb67f4b6badd/Screenshot+2025-06-01+at+12.35.50.png All Posts - Balatro Review: A Clever, Addictive Twist on Deckbuilding Roguelikes The soundtrack is low-key but really effective. It leans into a synthy, lo-fi, hip-hop-inspired vibe that changes depending on where you are in the game—shop, match, or menu. It’s subtle enough not to distract, but atmospheric enough to give the game a chilled-out rhythm that pairs nicely with its more intense strategic moments. It doesn’t try too hard, and that works in its favour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/4a96315a-6b9a-42ec-88aa-5e7d331d69bf/Screenshot+2025-06-01+at+12.36.37.png All Posts - Balatro Review: A Clever, Addictive Twist on Deckbuilding Roguelikes - There’s a lot of replay value here. Honestly I can’t put it down. It doesn’t just throw hundreds of cards at you and hope for the best, it actually supports a range of playstyles, and the randomised nature of jokers, upgrades, and modifiers means you’re unlikely to fall into the same routine run after run. It’s flexible, fresh, and doesn’t take hours to get going, which makes it ideal for short bursts or longer sessions. If you like games that slowly reveal depth the more you play, this one’s for you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/9e276647-c7cd-4f80-9724-bf6eb0a3e5da/Screenshot+2025-06-01+at+12.34.39.png All Posts - Balatro Review: A Clever, Addictive Twist on Deckbuilding Roguelikes Balatro is a great example of how to use a familiar theme, in this case, poker, and flip it into something entirely its own. It's not a gambling game, it's a smart, creative roguelike deckbuilder that gives you plenty of freedom to experiment and rewards strategic thinking. With its chill vibe, clever mechanics, and satisfying progression, it’s an easy recommendation for anyone looking for their next Switch 2 indie favourite or it’s even on Xbox Game Pass now too. I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy it, but now I can’t put it down. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/mario-kart-world monthly 0.5 2025-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/1743615625887-XZDNWQAM80CMR1EH8WCH/mario%2Bkart%2Bworld%2B2.jpg All Posts - Everything We Know About Mario Kart World for Nintendo Switch 2 - Image: Nintendo.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/1b39a42a-2390-4bba-a931-9148add7da74/mario+kart+2.png All Posts - Everything We Know About Mario Kart World for Nintendo Switch 2 - Make it stand out Image: Nintendo.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/6175635d-2c8c-4ca5-b736-e4e173e3db13/mario+kart+4.png All Posts - Everything We Know About Mario Kart World for Nintendo Switch 2 - Make it stand out Image: Nintendo.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/185849eb-cd1b-4873-b979-eb959b263155/mario+kart+5.png All Posts - Everything We Know About Mario Kart World for Nintendo Switch 2 - Make it stand out Image: Nintendo.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/26fbe6e9-4b07-468a-b66c-6db47bb32e10/mario+kart+world+1.png All Posts - Everything We Know About Mario Kart World for Nintendo Switch 2 - Make it stand out Image: Nintendo.com https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/nintendo-switch-2-direct monthly 0.5 2025-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/ed8fe4bb-0f1c-4f82-ab3e-e6122406f1ad/nintendo+switch+2.jpg All Posts - The Ultimate Guide to the Nintendo Switch 2: Everything You Need to Know - Image: Nintendo.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/29728fe9-cb50-46f0-896e-c62333400af6/Screenshot+2025-01-16+143856.png All Posts - The Ultimate Guide to the Nintendo Switch 2: Everything You Need to Know - Make it stand out Image: Nintendo.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/c6cbfbeb-1bef-47c0-bbbe-5e341378d7af/Screenshot+2025-01-16+144334.png All Posts - The Ultimate Guide to the Nintendo Switch 2: Everything You Need to Know - Make it stand out Image: Nintendo.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/7d57dd19-fc2b-404e-baa9-4fe73098cb05/mario+kart+world+2.jpg All Posts - The Ultimate Guide to the Nintendo Switch 2: Everything You Need to Know - Image: Nintendo.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/a7404a98-3597-4e26-85af-ebb38a567667/the-legend-of-zelda-links-awakening-3640466378.jpg All Posts - The Ultimate Guide to the Nintendo Switch 2: Everything You Need to Know - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/8e17b124-4283-417c-8625-1ff78bf6d4d8/captain+toad+treasure+tracker.jpg All Posts - The Ultimate Guide to the Nintendo Switch 2: Everything You Need to Know - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/nintendo-switch-2-games monthly 0.5 2025-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/1743615625887-XZDNWQAM80CMR1EH8WCH/mario%2Bkart%2Bworld%2B2.jpg All Posts - 17 Upcoming Cozy Games for the Nintendo Switch 2 - Developer Image: Nintendo Release Date: 5th June 2025 Mario Kart World is the latest expansion in the iconic Mario Kart series, blending the high-speed action and colourful chaos the franchise is known for with new, dynamic features.

The Big Con Review: A Nostalgic, Quirky Crime Caper Against the Man This quirky indie game mixes 90’s nostalgic charm with clever con artistry, serving up a fresh spin on narrative adventure games. In this The Big Con game review, we’re diving into everything from its story to its snappy visuals to see if it’s worth your time - and your ill-gotten gains! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/0e351984-a0a0-493f-b422-e130864504f5/the+big+con+3.jpg All Posts - The Big Con Review: A Nostalgic, Quirky Crime Caper Against the Man In The Big Con, you play as Ali, a teenager and reluctant con artist trying to save her mum’s struggling video rental shop. It’s peak 90s nostalgia, Walkmans and plaid shirts and as a child of the 90s I really enjoyed the nostalgic kick. It reminded me of the Friday night treat of going into Blockbuster to get the 2 for €5 weekend deal on videos and watching them on a loop with my sister. The plot unfolds across a road-trip-style journey, meeting oddball characters and pulling off small-time scams to rack up the cash through pickpocketing or scamming shop vendors into thinking they’ve not given you enough change. It's charming, witty, and refreshingly heartfelt, especially if you grew up during the Blockbuster era. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/eaa3b465-b9b6-4516-8e67-c6d8f9041471/the+big+con+5.jpg All Posts - The Big Con Review: A Nostalgic, Quirky Crime Caper Against the Man At its heart, The Big Con is a narrative adventure with light puzzle elements and a focus on exploration. The main mechanic is pickpocketing. You’ll be sneaking behind NPCs, timing button presses, and avoiding security as you swipe wallets and valuables. It’s not exactly high-stakes heist simulator stuff, but it’s fun and surprisingly satisfying. There are also dialogue options, disguises, and little side hustles (like trading collectibles or helping strangers for cash), which add a bit of depth to the gameplay loop. That said, if you’re looking for deep systems or hardcore challenges, this isn’t it. But for fans of casual indie adventure games, it absolutely delivers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/6bb3afcc-c0e2-4497-9be9-f3d1148ffed8/the+big+con+4.jpg All Posts - The Big Con Review: A Nostalgic, Quirky Crime Caper Against the Man The art style in The Big Con is an absolute treat. Bold colours, thick outlines, and animation straight out of a 90s Saturday morning cartoon. The patterned backgrounds of the dialogue scenes reminded me of mornings watching Saved by the Bell. The aesthetic is consistent and full of personality, helping the game stand out in a crowded indie scene. Each location is packed with visual gags, vibrant signage, and quirky character designs that make exploration feel rewarding, even when you’re not nicking things. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/227d5e6d-7e6a-4139-acf7-7b6a8769ebad/the+big+con+1.jpg All Posts - The Big Con Review: A Nostalgic, Quirky Crime Caper Against the Man - You can finish The Big Con in around 4 to 6 hours, depending on how much time you spend chatting with strangers or completing side tasks. It’s not a long game, but it knows when to wrap things up, and it doesn’t overstay its welcome. There’s some replay value if you want to max out your money or explore different dialogue options, but it’s more of a one play game. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/9961a648-d869-4b57-bf33-d065c9d2ebeb/the+big+con+2.jpg All Posts - The Big Con Review: A Nostalgic, Quirky Crime Caper Against the Man If you love story-rich indie games, have a soft spot for the 90s, or just fancy something a bit different, The Big Con is well worth a look. It’s clever, colourful, and full of charm, even if it’s on the shorter side. For fans of narrative-driven games, cozy adventure titles, or just a good old-fashioned scam (in-game only, please), this is one indie gem you shouldn’t miss. It’s a fun experience to play something a little on the cheeky side and to con your way through a retro mall dressed like an extra from Clarissa Explains It All. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/shortcozygamesunder4hours monthly 0.5 2025-05-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/f0630fd6-4f67-4ef9-ad97-98e9eab93cf8/header.jpg All Posts - 12+ Cozy Games You Can Finish in Under 4 Hours - Short, Relaxing Picks for Busy Players - Developer Image: adamgryu Available on: Steam, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Playstation Cost: €6.59 or Included on Xbox Gamepass Complete story in: 1 1/2 hours Completionists: 4 hours Choose your own path and hike at your own pace in the peaceful mountains of Hawk Peak Provincial Park as you climb to the summit in this exploration adventure game with cute hikers to help and items to collect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/1ad49f2f-39a1-42c5-b06d-37fee733dd6d/header+%281%29.jpg All Posts - 12+ Cozy Games You Can Finish in Under 4 Hours - Short, Relaxing Picks for Busy Players - Developer Image: Nomada Studios Available on: Steam, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Playstation Cost: €14.79 or Included on Xbox Gamepass Complete story in: 3 1/2 hours Completionists: 6 1/2 hours Play as a young girl lost in her own world coming to terms with a painful experience in this atmospheric platform adventure game.

You play as a character navigating through mysterious rooms, with each run offering new challenges and puzzles. The main objective is to unlock new areas, solve difficult puzzles, and uncover the secrets of the Blue Prince to reach Room 46. While the plot isn’t overtly complex, the thrill of discovery keeps you coming back for more, especially with each new path that opens up with every game session. For many players, the real appeal lies in uncovering these narrative fragments, which slowly piece together the story in a way that feels both rewarding and immersive. It’s not just about solving puzzles, it's about the experience of gradually learning about the strange and enigmatic world you’re in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/00e0df51-6ef6-4768-a860-94d5b05bd5eb/Screenshot+2025-05-02+at+09.08.13.png All Posts - Blue Prince Review: A Roguelike Puzzle Adventure That Will Keep You Hooked The roguelike elements of Blue Prince are what set it apart from other puzzle games. Each day is a fresh run with procedurally generated elements, ensuring that no two experiences are quite the same. The unpredictability of the game adds a layer of excitement, or frustration, as you never know what new challenges you’ll face. One of the highlights of the game is how progression works. Certain rooms reward you with permanent upgrades that make subsequent runs easier, giving you that satisfying sense of growth. The game’s difficulty can be brutal at times, especially when you’re trying to figure out certain puzzles, like The Parlour’s gem box puzzles or looking for clues to find letters or understand your path of progression. Shout out to the Blue Prince Reddit community, I may not have got through this without you! While the game can be difficult I never found it punishing, there’s always a sense of hope that the next run will be more successful. The addictive nature of the gameplay keeps you hooked, pushing you to complete just one more day to get that little bit further. I found myself constantly trying again, knowing that tomorrow could be the day I finally cracked into Room 46. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/4a5b7751-1bcb-4aff-a90b-71b8c1776beb/Screenshot+2025-05-02+at+09.10.09.png All Posts - Blue Prince Review: A Roguelike Puzzle Adventure That Will Keep You Hooked Blue Prince strikes a perfect balance between eerie and cozy. The visual style is clean, minimalistic, and pleasing to the eye. The atmosphere is quiet and almost haunting at times, yet there’s an undeniable comfort to it. It’s a unique visual style that draws you in and makes the experience feel oddly intimate, despite the dark themes lurking beneath the surface. The art direction contributes significantly to the game’s tone. Each room is designed to give you a sense of isolation, but the overall aesthetic never feels overwhelming. Instead, it manages to capture an oddly calming sense of quiet, making the intense moments of puzzle-solving feel all the more rewarding. I was disappointed in how little music was utilised however. The small parts of music at the start of the day or occasionally from certain rooms was really strong, but there was so little of it. I really think including more of a score to the game could have added another atmospheric layer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/30ba1be1-fe83-40a6-99ea-0060fa9be8f6/Screenshot+2025-05-02+at+09.07.08.png All Posts - Blue Prince Review: A Roguelike Puzzle Adventure That Will Keep You Hooked - In terms of gameplay length, some players claim the main story can be completed in around 15 hours, I found myself playing for about 30 hours before finally reaching Room 46. This stage felt like a massive milestone, and even though there’s more gameplay to explore after the main story, reaching that point was a huge relief. The difficulty curve is steep, but it’s part of what makes the game so engaging. There’s something about the challenge that hooks you, every successful run feels like an accomplishment, and every failure teaches you something new. With more to explore beyond the main story, Blue Prince offers plenty of content to keep you coming back for more. I could see myself playing the game again at another stage to see if I can complete it quicker. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/973a9989-603f-442c-82e0-947ba4bde2e4/Screenshot+2025-05-02+at+09.08.42.png All Posts - Blue Prince Review: A Roguelike Puzzle Adventure That Will Keep You Hooked If you’re a fan of roguelike mechanics and challenging puzzles, Blue Prince should be at the top of your list. Despite its difficulty, the sense of progression and roguelike mechanics make it incredibly addictive. The visuals are striking in their simplicity, and the gameplay offers just the right amount of challenge to keep you engaged. With its mix of mystery, puzzle-solving, and roguelike elements, I think Blue Prince may be a standout contender for game of the year. The game is not without its flaws, there were a couple of minor bugs, like a box that wouldn’t open, but nothing that severely impacted the experience. Given the active development, I’m confident these issues will be resolved in future patches. And I really would have liked more of a score to the game to add to the atmosphere. Overall, Blue Prince is a must-play for puzzle enthusiasts and roguelike fans alike. Just be prepared for the difficulty curve, it’s tough, but it’s also what makes the game so rewarding. Highly recommended! https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-dordogne monthly 0.5 2025-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/1745423282364-OH4H4QN0BZEVLOZ8N2OD/dordogne.jpg All Posts - Dordogne Review: A Watercolour Journey Through Memory and Family https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/f3fa06c6-f92f-482c-aabc-3be13508430f/Screenshot+2025-04-23+at+13.36.27.png All Posts - Dordogne Review: A Watercolour Journey Through Memory and Family In Dordogne, you navigate both the past and present as Mimi, uncovering fragments of her childhood spent with her grandmother. The game unfolds over eight chapters, seamlessly transitioning between young Mimi's summer adventures and adult Mimi's introspective journey. The narrative is rich with emotion, exploring themes of family, loss and the passage of time. The use of text messages and handwritten notes adds a personal touch, deepening the connection to Mimi's relationships, especially with Nora. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/91a9d047-567b-4fdb-a2bb-97d8b4a94e68/Screenshot+2025-04-23+at+13.36.58.png All Posts - Dordogne Review: A Watercolour Journey Through Memory and Family Dordogne is about the joy of life’s quiet moments. From kayaking down sun sparkled rivers to gardening and cooking with Nora, the gameplay invites you to slow down and savour the simple things. The puzzles are gentle and intuitive, often revolving around familiar, homely tasks, making tea, finding keys, or diving into the river to find lost items. These activities beautifully reflect the game’s themes of connection and memory. One of my absolute favourite features, though, is the scrapbooking. At the end of each day, you gather mementoes from your journey, photos taken with your camera, stickers found around town, and poetic keywords that appear organically as you explore the scenery. These moments of creative reflection give you the space to craft a personal diary of your time in Dordogne, which feels like a quiet ritual in itself. It’s peaceful, a little nostalgic, and incredibly charming. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/15b5dfdb-ba3d-4432-b647-56a71bf9c51d/Screenshot+2025-04-23+at+13.42.22.png All Posts - Dordogne Review: A Watercolour Journey Through Memory and Family Visually, Dordogne is just stunning. The game is entirely hand-painted in watercolours, with over 200 stunning backgrounds created by illustrator and game director Cédric Babouche. The result is a moving storybook where every scene, whether a panoramic view of the French countryside or a quiet corner of Nora’s kitchen, feels like a painting come to life. The soft, dreamy aesthetic enhances the game’s nostalgic tone, and it’s easily one of the most visually striking games I’ve played. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/495d9765-ed5f-4c21-8820-b9cf401ae7f1/Screenshot+2025-04-23+at+13.37.17.png All Posts - Dordogne Review: A Watercolour Journey Through Memory and Family The audio design is just as thoughtful.

Her journey begins when she sets out to find her missing mother – and from there, you’re pulled into a world filled with magic, myth and a real sense of place. The story is layered with mystery and folklore, introducing you to creatures and spirits that feel drawn straight from Southern legend. The narrative touches on loss, healing, and family, and I found myself really connecting with Hazel’s journey. She’s such a likeable character, grounded, brave, a bit sassy, and just the kind of protagonist you want to spend time with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/8f299191-3494-48ea-9ab9-e145b3ff63f7/south+of+midnight+9.png All Posts - South of Midnight Review: A Magical Southern Folklore Adventure Throughout the game, Hazel observes ghostly echoes from the past, fragments of memory and tragedy that reveal what’s shaped the world and its people. These scenes don’t directly happen to Hazel, but they’re emotionally impactful and can be a little upsetting at times. They often deal with grief, abuse, injustice, and hardship, and are tied closely to the history of the characters she meets. It’s all handled with care, but it’s definitely something to be aware of if you’re sensitive to heavier themes. I won’t spoil too much, but let’s just say the characters she meets along the way are properly fleshed out, each with their own stories and secrets. It’s a game that manages to be both whimsical and grounded, which is a rare and lovely thing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/faf8bafd-4337-4189-9d17-44762d401c2c/south+of+midnight+8.png All Posts - South of Midnight Review: A Magical Southern Folklore Adventure Gameplay-wise, South of Midnight is a clever mix of satisfying 3D platforming and Soulslike-style combat, though I’d say it’s far more approachable than most games in that genre. It’s only my second Soulslike (my first being Death’s Door) and I found the combat rhythm super enjoyable once I got into it. Hazel’s powers develop as the story unfolds, making travelling around more dynamic and fun, especially during the high speed chase sequences, zooming through the environment to reach the bottle tree was such a great thrill. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/0b4e9781-a8fb-4b41-a3e2-0eeffe8b61be/south+of+midnight+5.png All Posts - South of Midnight Review: A Magical Southern Folklore Adventure There’s also a nice element of exploration, the world is filled with little collectibles called “floofs”, which you can use to upgrade your weapons and abilities as well as notes and items to inspect to uncover more of the story. I really appreciated how full the world feels, with just enough optional paths and secrets to keep you poking around. A little shoutout here for Crouton, Hazel’s childhood doll brought to life. He helps out with tasks Hazel can’t reach, like burrowing into small tunnels to flip switches or grab items, and he’s just so charming. It’s a simple mechanic but adds a nice bit of personality and interaction to the gameplay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/eca99477-196e-4a77-9867-9437909bcc45/south+of+midnight+1.png All Posts - South of Midnight Review: A Magical Southern Folklore Adventure This game is absolutely gorgeous to look at. The art style is heavily inspired by stop-motion animation, a slightly dreamy, handcrafted look that really makes the world pop. It’s one of the most visually striking games I’ve played recently. One of the standout visuals for me was the enormous catfish creature. It’s glittering and beautiful, with glowing eyes and a sinuous, flowing form that glides through the water. The environments, too, are just packed with detail, from glowing bottle trees to moss covered ruins. It all feels alive, and wonderfully strange in the best way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/42004b60-dcc7-4208-ac69-4757af76801d/south+of+midnight+7.png All Posts - South of Midnight Review: A Magical Southern Folklore Adventure The voicework is fab and I can be very picky about cheesy voicework. Hazel’s voice actor brings so much personality to the role, she’s warm, expressive, and really carries the emotional weight of the story. Every major character is well voiced, adding even more depth and atmosphere to an already rich world. The soundtrack is another highlight. It’s a lovely blend of blues and jazz, which fits the Southern Gothic vibe perfectly and really brings the setting to life. The music shifts with the mood of the story, sometimes mellow and haunting, other times upbeat and energetic, and always atmospheric. The one thing I wasn’t quite as keen on was the main theme song (the one that bookends the game). It felt a little too modern compared to the rest of the soundtrack, though to be fair, that might have been intentional, since there’s a bit of time jumping in the story and Hazel would’ve grown up in the modern day. Still, the rest of the music more than made up for it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/ec404a50-0c29-4940-ba7d-45cc708d1e04/south+of+midnight+2.png All Posts - South of Midnight Review: A Magical Southern Folklore Adventure - South of Midnight took me around 12 hours to finish, and while the story wraps up neatly, I can absolutely see myself playing it again. It’s the kind of game where you might want to revisit your favourite parts, or just spend a bit more time in that beautifully crafted world. I did encounter one small bug where I got stuck and had to restart the game, which was a bit annoying, but thankfully it only happened once and didn’t affect my overall experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/eb624f19-68eb-4bbd-a262-581c8b291238/south+of+midnight+4.png All Posts - South of Midnight Review: A Magical Southern Folklore Adventure I truly loved my time with South of Midnight.

But this isn’t just a cosy retirement tale. Alta’s story is layered with tension and grief, about who she was, who she’s becoming, and the struggle of simply being still when all you’ve ever known is motion. It’s beautifully told, with moments that caught me completely off guard. Some scenes gave me goosebumps; others made me cry. And yet it’s also tender, funny, and full of charm. Boro, your adorable paternal helper, is a standout, he’s sweet and expressive, with dialogue that had me smiling constantly. The other characters are unique and lovable with stories that you really start to care about. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/af96be4f-259c-44ad-bf6d-8f7bc3791cb0/Screenshot+2025-04-12+at+12.51.27.png All Posts - Wanderstop Review - A Cozy Game About Rest, Burnout, and the Beauty of Doing Less Wanderstop encourages you to unlearn the typical gaming instinct to optimise and complete. You grow and harvest plants, make soothing cups of tea based on gentle requests, and slowly explore your own headspace along the way. The tasks themselves, like fulfilling tea orders or managing the garden are simple and satisfying. But the real challenge? Being okay with not doing everything perfectly. The game encourages you to take breaks, to stop mid task, to sip your own tea and listen to your thoughts. As someone who always feels the need to “get it right,” that was strangely hard. But I also found it quite healing. This isn’t a game about winning or achieving. It’s about letting go. And in that way, it’s quietly revolutionary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/04c51300-85e0-462b-96c1-2b7931030740/Screenshot+2025-04-12+at+12.52.45.png All Posts - Wanderstop Review - A Cozy Game About Rest, Burnout, and the Beauty of Doing Less The art direction in Wanderstop is warm and whimsical, like stepping into a living storybook. Everything from the way the leaves rustle in the wind to the glow of a lantern at twilight feels thoughtfully crafted to create a space you want to live in. Characters are uniquely stylised, full of charm and personality. The tea shop itself is cozy and comforting, while the surrounding forest is just mysterious enough to want to stay in the cozy clearing you’re creating. Though the voicework is a little underutilised in my opinion (I would have loved more!), what’s there is beautifully done. Alta’s voice adds a huge amount of depth to her emotional arc. Even with limited lines mostly just in cutscenes, the performances bring nuance and texture to the story, making each interaction feel much more intimate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/5814c5f3-10a2-41e2-a2fd-4586b32ce158/Screenshot+2025-04-12+at+12.52.54.png All Posts - Wanderstop Review - A Cozy Game About Rest, Burnout, and the Beauty of Doing Less - I completed Wanderstop in 15 hours, but true to form I did complete every task before finishing. It’s a relatively short experience, but one that lingers long after the credits roll. The game’s replayability isn’t about unlocking new endings or chasing completion, it’s about returning to a space that feels safe, where you can reflect and rest. I can see myself playing this again in a few months, just to sit with it all over again. It’s not about how long you play. It’s about how deeply it stays with you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/ab2b7350-52ce-49b5-a41f-29bde9273f2b/Screenshot+2025-04-12+at+12.52.21.png All Posts - Wanderstop Review - A Cozy Game About Rest, Burnout, and the Beauty of Doing Less Wanderstop is a game that quietly says, “It’s okay to stop.” It meets you where you are, gently encourages you to feel, and reminds you that rest is not just allowed, it’s necessary. It’s cozy, yes. But more than that, it’s wise. It understands the discomfort of stillness, the guilt of doing “nothing,” and the way burnout can leave you feeling hollow. And then it wraps those feelings up in warm tea, gentle sunlight, and characters who show you it’s okay to let go. Whether you’re here for the slow life vibes or the emotional storytelling, this one’s a must play. So make yourself a cup of something warm, take a deep breath, and let Wanderstop work its quiet magic. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-bear-and-breakfast monthly 0.5 2025-04-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/2754a647-f311-4b12-96e3-b591dd3c5e03/bear+and+breakfast.jpg All Posts - Bear and Breakfast Review: A Cozy, Charming Retreat in the Woods https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/40e49290-683b-45b7-9c99-166a977aedea/IMG_4983.jpg All Posts - Bear and Breakfast Review: A Cozy, Charming Retreat in the Woods The premise is simple but sweet: you play as Hank, a bear who decides to start his own bed and breakfast business in the middle of the forest. Along the way, you’ll meet a bunch of quirky characters who help you build your little BnB empire, and as you do, you uncover some fun, quirky dialogue and unexpected storylines. The plot isn’t exactly groundbreaking, but it’s filled with charm and wit, making it a joy to see where things go. The characters really shine, each with their own personalities and motives, adding a layer of richness to the story that keeps you invested. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/c3474b0e-3186-4fe7-b8f0-70ede1d689e7/IMG_4985.jpg All Posts - Bear and Breakfast Review: A Cozy, Charming Retreat in the Woods At its core, Bear and Breakfast is a management sim, but it’s not your typical, stressful kind. This one’s a lot more relaxed, focusing on making your guests happy, designing your BnB to suit their needs, and upgrading your space. The gameplay loop is satisfying without ever feeling overwhelming, and the customisation options really let you make the space your own. There’s a lot of room for creativity whether it’s choosing furniture, designing rooms, or deciding how to decorate. However, if you’re playing on the Nintendo Switch, be prepared for some awkward controls at first. The buttons can feel a bit clunky until you get the hang of them, which can be a bit off putting at first, but once you’re adjusted, it’s a smooth ride. Trust me, though it's worth the effort. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/8585d88d-cd85-4aa1-80ea-074170a98ea2/IMG_4982.jpg All Posts - Bear and Breakfast Review: A Cozy, Charming Retreat in the Woods Let’s talk about the design because this game is adorable. The art style has that soft, cutesy vibe that makes you want to jump into the screen and live in Hank’s world forever. The colours are warm and inviting, and there’s a whimsical charm to the entire game that just works. Every character is drawn with love, and the world feels like it was crafted by a team who truly cared about creating a comforting, engaging space. The environments, too, are beautifully designed, lush forests, cosy cabins, and charming little details everywhere. The overall vibe of the game is one of warmth and comfort, and the visuals definitely amplify that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/b6af010a-8318-40a9-90d0-e650d07f1d97/IMG_4984.jpg All Posts - Bear and Breakfast Review: A Cozy, Charming Retreat in the Woods - The game is filled with things to do, from decorating your BnB to interacting with the local forest folk. While it doesn’t have endless replay value, the game offers plenty of content to keep you busy.

It’s the kind of game you can dip in and out of, coming back whenever you need a quick dose of joy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/a5fe3a7d-ad6b-4bab-89c7-d97b134c8a77/IMG_4987.jpg All Posts - Bear and Breakfast Review: A Cozy, Charming Retreat in the Woods Bear and Breakfast is a wholesome gem that knows exactly what it’s doing, offering an experience that’s full of charm, creativity, and just the right amount of laid back fun. The characters, the customisation, and the feel good atmosphere make it a delightful game that’s hard not to love.

You start with a modest plot of land, and it's up to you to plant trees, tend to them, and harvest the fruits. With no time limits or high pressure goals, you’re free to grow your orchard at your own pace. As you sell your fruit and earn money, you can reinvest in your farm, unlocking new trees, tools, and upgrades. The simplicity of the concept makes it easy to dive right in, and the relaxed pace keeps it stress free. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/9ad11446-52cf-481e-b818-73037e26eb68/IMG_5002.jpg All Posts - Bit Orchard Animal Valley Review: A Relaxing Pixel Art Farming Adventure Bit Orchard keeps the gameplay straightforward but incredibly rewarding. You’ll begin with just a few fruit trees, watering and harvesting them as they grow. The more you sell, the more resources you gather to expand your farm. New tree varieties are unlocked over time, and your farm slowly evolves from a small patch to a full fledged orchard. The game’s charm lies in its loop, plant, water, harvest, and repeat, and it's surprisingly addictive. There's always something new to unlock or improve, whether it’s planting a different fruit or upgrading your tools. It’s perfect for players who enjoy slow, satisfying progression without feeling rushed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/aa92c2b1-8b63-4615-8ccd-2d410a16b1a8/IMG_4998.jpg All Posts - Bit Orchard Animal Valley Review: A Relaxing Pixel Art Farming Adventure The pixel art in Bit Orchard is absolutely delightful. The retro style gives the game a nostalgic feel, while the crisp, colourful graphics make every visit to your orchard visually satisfying. The animations are smooth, watching fruit ripen and fall from the trees is as calming as it sounds. I love the sepia and black style but then the bright red apple graphics, it’s such a fun design choice to add a bit of colour focussed on the apples. Whether you’re admiring your fully grown apple trees or watering newly planted saplings, the visuals draw you in, creating a serene environment perfect for a relaxing gaming session. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/896c22b9-afec-4ab9-b6ef-ae68fe3798fb/IMG_4997.jpg All Posts - Bit Orchard Animal Valley Review: A Relaxing Pixel Art Farming Adventure - While Bit Orchard doesn’t have an intense storyline or dramatic objectives, it’s the kind of game you can easily get lost in for hours. The steady progression of unlocking new crops and upgrading tools gives you plenty of reasons to keep playing. The joy of watching your orchard expand keeps things fresh, and the lack of time pressure means you can play at your own pace. Whether you’re checking in for a few minutes or playing for hours, there’s always something new to do, and it’s incredibly satisfying to watch your farm grow. One of the only things I’d improve is to have more tasks and villagers, there’s definitely space for this in a DLC pack perhaps if the developers wanted to! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/63074a49-c05f-4241-984f-3324603a8881/IMG_5003.jpg All Posts - Bit Orchard Animal Valley Review: A Relaxing Pixel Art Farming Adventure If you’re looking for a simple, relaxing farming sim with a soothing atmosphere, Bit Orchard is a perfect choice.

This time, they're up against a new threat: the mysterious (and hungry) unbread. These zombified slices of bread are out to ruin the kingdom, and only your culinary skills can stop them. The story is silly, which is the perfect backdrop for the game’s frantic pace. It gives you just enough of a reason to keep going through the increasingly impossible kitchens. Every level is a chance to save the Onion Kingdom while dealing with the madness of multiple cooking stations, dangerous hazards, and, of course, your own kitchen disasters! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/65f3c987-fb9f-41a4-a44f-96b743d02309/Screenshot+2025-02-22+at+14.04.01.png All Posts - Overcooked 2: A Recipe for Chaos and Fun with Friends The core gameplay revolves around you and your fellow chefs working together (or against each other, if you're feeling competitive) to prepare dishes under a ticking clock. The mechanics are simple, chop, fry, boil, plate, and serve, but the catch is, the kitchens are always chaotic. You’ll find yourself working in kitchens where ingredients are scattered across different levels, where you need to send plates across moving conveyor belts, or even where the kitchen itself is on fire. As you progress, the difficulty ramps up, and new challenges, such as kitchen disasters or limited resources, will keep you on your toes. Playing 2 Player is great fun, although it requires excellent communication and coordination. It’s as much about teamwork as it is about managing the chaos. And trust me, it gets chaotic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/208b7d3e-dd8c-4460-8d73-ec8de59ca947/Screenshot+2025-02-22+at+14.04.23.png All Posts - Overcooked 2: A Recipe for Chaos and Fun with Friends Overcooked 2 isn’t the most graphically intense game, but its charming, cartoonish art style is one of its strongest suits. The colourful visuals make each level pop, and the character designs are quirky and adorable. I particularly enjoyed the unbread enemies, with fun designs. The environments themselves are just as fun. You’ll cook in everything from a traditional kitchen to an underwater restaurant, a hot air balloon, and even outer space. The variety of settings keeps the visuals fresh and exciting, and it’s hard not to smile at the whimsy of it all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/f5733e94-40ae-48a2-b7ba-4c4e353d86b7/Screenshot+2025-02-22+at+14.03.20.png All Posts - Overcooked 2: A Recipe for Chaos and Fun with Friends - The game offers a huge amount of content, with over 50 levels spread across multiple worlds, each with its own theme and challenges. After completing the main story there are plenty of additional levels and special challenges to tackle. The game also offers multiplayer modes, which adds to its replayability. You can team up with friends or family for even more chaos, or take on the challenges solo. The simple but addictive nature of the gameplay means you'll likely find yourself coming back for just one more round. The difficulty curve ensures that even if you’re an experienced player, there will always be new challenges to overcome. Whether you're striving to get three stars on every level or just trying to beat your partner’s high score, Overcooked 2 offers lots of reasons to keep playing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/6e368080-7fdc-4c78-a8cc-16bc9dec95ae/Screenshot+2025-02-22+at+14.04.55.png All Posts - Overcooked 2: A Recipe for Chaos and Fun with Friends In conclusion, Overcooked 2 is an absolute blast for anyone looking for a chaotic, fun filled gaming experience.

Playing as Stella, the new Spiritfarer, you meet various spirits, each with unique personalities and stories. As you progress, you help them complete their unfinished business, completing tasks or getting to know the spirits better, to help them move on into the afterlife. With its narrative focus on loss, letting go, and the beauty of fleeting moments, Spiritfarer stands out for its ability to tackle profound topics in a thoughtful, warm manner. The characters are truly delightful, and I found myself getting quite attached to one or two, not wanting to take them to the Everdoor, but having to eventually to allow the game to progress. The characters are well rounded and well written, and the story Stella unravells beautifully over time too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/682df451-6283-4176-af48-92705cc48bff/Screenshot+2025-02-15+at+17.13.33.png All Posts - Spiritfarer Review: A Heartfelt Journey of Life, Death, and Friendship Spiritfarer combines elements of resource management, exploration, and life-simulation gameplay. The game's mechanics revolve around upgrading your boat and fulfilling the needs of the spirits you encounter. Sailing between islands, gathering resources, and crafting items provide a relaxing yet rewarding experience.

With no combat mechanics, Spiritfarer focuses purely on exploration, nurturing, and emotional connections, offering a slower paced and thoughtful gaming experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/b7cd66aa-ddc5-436b-9b33-59c81411f6a4/Screenshot+2025-02-15+at+17.14.21.png All Posts - Spiritfarer Review: A Heartfelt Journey of Life, Death, and Friendship One of the highlights of Spiritfarer is its stunning hand drawn art style. The colourful, vibrant world invites players to explore its various islands, each with unique landscapes. The character designs are charming and expressive, with each spirit conveying their backstory through visual traits. Accompanying the visuals is an emotional soundtrack by Max LL, which beautifully compliments the game's tone. From calm, peaceful melodies to more upbeat tracks, the music reflects the journey from grief to acceptance. The sound design, including the soothing sound of waves against your boat, further enhances the immersive atmosphere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/5da643a4-356c-45e3-884c-0bd25d1d6f9e/Screenshot+2025-02-15+at+17.14.37.png All Posts - Spiritfarer Review: A Heartfelt Journey of Life, Death, and Friendship - Spiritfarer offers around 25-30 hours of gameplay, depending on how much time you spend exploring, upgrading your boat, and completing side quests.

However, if you prefer a fast-paced experience, the slow, meandering nature of the game might feel a bit tedious. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/60f8aeeb-3655-41d5-b880-223932eb123b/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+19.20.07.png All Posts - Mineko’s Night Market Review: Craft, Cats, and Cozy Vibes in a Charming World Mineko’s Night Market is a delightful mix of crafting, community, and cozy storytelling. It’s the perfect game for when you want something relaxing yet engaging, with a unique art style and a sprinkle of mystery. While the gameplay loop might feel a bit repetitive for some, if you love charming worlds, quirky characters, and (of course) cats, you’ll should have fun with this game! https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-magical-delicacy monthly 0.5 2025-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/e9e075fb-cf52-456f-ab6f-74be55e3d498/magical+delicacy.jpg All Posts - Cooking Meets Magic in Magical Delicacy: A Cozy Game Review https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/5d8fe4d4-d5a3-4083-aa62-67020dfa7f31/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+18.34.38.png All Posts - Cooking Meets Magic in Magical Delicacy: A Cozy Game Review Flora arrives in town with big dreams of mastering her craft, but before she can become a fully fledged magical chef, she needs to prove herself. That means taking orders, perfecting recipes, and running errands for the town’s quirky residents. While the story is more of a backdrop than a deep narrative, the character interactions and small personal stories add warmth and charm. It’s one of those games where the world feels alive, even without an epic storyline. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/a4c28146-3fb3-4300-8091-181db6353e98/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+18.35.37.png All Posts - Cooking Meets Magic in Magical Delicacy: A Cozy Game Review You’ll spend your time platforming around town to gather ingredients, experimenting with recipes, and completing orders. The cooking mechanic is simple but satisfying. You’ll mix, chop, and brew ingredients to create different magical dishes. The light puzzle solving and travelling elements gives it a nice balance of exploration and crafting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/deaecafd-259c-40fa-9c15-56a65c1c1e04/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+18.37.45.png All Posts - Cooking Meets Magic in Magical Delicacy: A Cozy Game Review The pixel art in this game is absolutely gorgeous. Every little detail, from the bubbling cauldrons to the soft glow of street lamps at night, adds to the game’s charm. The world feels warm, inviting and full of personality. If you love games with that classic cozy pixel aesthetic like Eastward or Stardew Valley you’ll feel right at home here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/94297a77-e843-4296-8a20-eb56b51e4900/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+18.40.10.png All Posts - Cooking Meets Magic in Magical Delicacy: A Cozy Game Review - The game is around 25 hours, but you could probably play 30 plus if you want to complete all orders. It’s definitely a game you can play at your own pace. There’s enough variety in the recipes and exploration to keep things fresh, and the gentle progression system means there always feels like there’s something new to do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/97d28a60-b06c-46d4-9c8d-aabcd52e09b6/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+18.40.23.png All Posts - Cooking Meets Magic in Magical Delicacy: A Cozy Game Review If you’re looking for a game that blends cooking, exploration, and casual platforming into a delightful, stress-free experience, Magical Delicacy is absolutely worth your time.

But really a game like this doesn’t need a story. The puzzles are various household items that need to be arranged or sorted from tasks that we would all recognise from our daily life, from sorting pantry jars to organising the cutlery drawer. The aim is to find every item’s exact place and position, but as all pet owners will relate to, a mischevious cat often gets in the way of your organising and you have to fix their messes, from pawprints on the carpet to smashed vases. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/28d1caed-7392-4d40-93ad-68ac28713243/Screenshot+2025-02-15+at+16.50.43.png All Posts - A Little to the Left: The Perfect Puzzle Game for Lovers of Order and Neatness The gameplay is fairly smooth, you grab the item you want to move and place it in the most aesthetically pleasing position. I found that most items were intuitive and clicked into position, and any that didn’t were just because I hadn’t quite solved the puzzle yet. Some puzzles are slightly more challenging than others, but the vast majority were fairly simple to complete. The real enjoyment of completing a level however is the satisfaction of a well organised space. There’s additional accessability options too to get hints for any puzzles you’re stuck on, or you can skip levels completely and come back to them later. With the game’s main selling point being a relaxing experience, this helps a lot to prevent any unnecessary frustration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/ab20fccd-21aa-4d86-8f7a-9575739a8bc7/Screenshot+2025-02-15+at+16.51.01.png All Posts - A Little to the Left: The Perfect Puzzle Game for Lovers of Order and Neatness The visuals are all hand drawn in a really pleasing and cute design. Each section of the house seems to have a slightly different colour scheme, but all fit within a lovely pastel tone and fun details. The music is atmospheric but relaxing, and adds to the overall zen like experience of solving short puzzles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/32c37b4c-a7de-4334-ac38-d75f8995ba83/Screenshot+2025-02-15+at+16.51.59.png All Posts - A Little to the Left: The Perfect Puzzle Game for Lovers of Order and Neatness - The game has over 100 levels, so there is plenty to keep busy with. If you’re just focussing on the main objectives, it can be completed in around 4 hours. Since it’s release, there has been updates to the game to add in a Daily Tidy Mode, with a new puzzle every day that is a varient of one of the puzzles within the game. If you really enjoyed the game, there’s also 2 DLC packs to add on extra levels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/fe2bee43-8822-4ff2-9c4e-d9e76662afcc/Screenshot+2025-02-15+at+16.52.11.png All Posts - A Little to the Left: The Perfect Puzzle Game for Lovers of Order and Neatness A Little to the Left is a charming and relaxing puzzle experience, and there is great satisfaction in organizing household items. The hand-drawn visuals and soothing soundtrack are effective in creating a cozy atmosphere. However, some puzzles may feel overly simplistic or occasionally tedious, which can detract from the overall enjoyment. The inclusion of a mischievous cat adds a playful element, though its interference is minimal. With over 100 levels and additional content through updates and DLCs, the game provides ample content for those who like low-pressure, methodical gameplay. While it may not fully live up to the hype to me personally, I did enjoy the game, and is a great addition to the cozy puzzle genre. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/10-cozy-cat-games monthly 0.5 2025-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/fcd75030-d67f-42a3-9776-aa9d83547635/hello+kitty.jpg All Posts - Purrfect Play: 10 Cozy Games For Cat Lovers - Developer Image: Sunblink Developer Image: All Possible Futures Jump between 2D and 3D worlds solving puzzles and flying on your jetpack in this action adventure game where you play as Jot, who with his storybook friends discover a 3D world outside of their book. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/f01bfdfc-eee6-4742-b67f-7dce3386a9c4/header+%2810%29.jpg All Posts - Purrfect Play: 10 Cozy Games For Cat Lovers - Developer Image: Double Dagger Studios Available on: PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Xbox Gamepass Amazon* Physical Copies: Nintendo Switch Cost: €24.99 In this chaotic and adorable exploration and adventure game, play as a little kitty trying to find it’s way back home.

The goal is to survive waves of monsters until the final boss at wave 20. While there isn’t a deep story, the game doesn’t really need one. It’s straightforward, and you immediately understand what’s expected. Each run unlocks new potato characters, each with unique traits that change gameplay. For me, this was the most addictive part—I kept coming back to unlock new characters and experiment with different playstyles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/49d5b02e-147c-4017-bbe4-a64f165a3572/Screenshot+2025-02-22+at+14.08.18.png All Posts - Brotato: The Ultimate Rogue-like Potato Battle The gameplay mechanics couldn’t be simpler. You control movement with the analog stick while your weapons fire automatically. Despite this simplicity, the game is anything but boring. With countless ways to customize your stats—whether increasing speed to escape hordes or boosting weapon range—each run feels fresh. Enemies drop coins, which you can spend in the shop on new weapons, upgrades, or items that offer both buffs and trade-offs, like increasing damage at the cost of XP. This variety allows for endless tactical experimentation, making each run unique and engaging. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/c5b75db2-5b34-4f2a-be15-495e62c3ebd3/Screenshot+2025-02-22+at+14.10.29.png All Posts - Brotato: The Ultimate Rogue-like Potato Battle I enjoyed the game’s cartoony visuals. As someone who gravitates toward cozy games, I’m not always drawn to darker, war-like aesthetics, so the playful art style helps keep Brotato from feeling too intense. The different potato characters are fun, with designs and abilities that match their quirky personalities. The soundtrack is another highlight, featuring an energetic, synth-heavy arcade beat that immerses you in the action. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/c1dfa323-72da-4ea4-bfb2-a3570fcfab07/Screenshot+2025-02-22+at+14.09.26.png All Posts - Brotato: The Ultimate Rogue-like Potato Battle - Personally, I’ve already sunk dozens of hours into Brotato. The runs are short—about 30 minutes if you reach wave 20—but with so many weapons, characters, and items to experiment with, it’s incredibly addictive. And just when you think you’ve mastered it, the game introduces higher difficulty levels (ranging from 0 to 5), increasing enemy count and damage. Each time I beat a boss, I found myself immediately going in for another run. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/45924e0c-f42d-4c65-b352-4fe56a277ea1/Screenshot+2025-02-22+at+14.10.16.png All Posts - Brotato: The Ultimate Rogue-like Potato Battle Brotato is a simple yet deeply engaging roguelike that keeps you coming back for "just one more run." Its combination of lighthearted visuals, addictive progression, and a huge variety of playstyles makes it a fantastic pick for both casual and hardcore players. Whether you're experimenting with different strategies, unlocking quirky new characters, or pushing yourself to higher difficulty levels, Brotato is an action-packed experience that’s hard to put down. If you’re looking for a game that blends chaos with charm, this potato-powered shooter is well worth your time! https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-wildfrost monthly 0.5 2025-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/8704e3c9-0828-4309-b29f-668809ff2086/Wildfrost_cover.png All Posts - Wildfrost: A Frozen Adventure Full of Strategy and Card Battles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/43df1b02-92fe-4d32-bd94-f05460099e74/Screenshot+2025-02-15+at+16.56.14.png All Posts - Wildfrost: A Frozen Adventure Full of Strategy and Card Battles Wildfrost is set in a frozen tundra, in a dwelling named Snowdwell, where it’s survivors live and try to survive an eternal winter. Within three tribes are randomly generated leaders, each with it’s own health, attack and often a move special to them that changes on each run. Each tribe has their own styles and decks, with unique weapons to each tribe. In addition, there is a host of companions you can add to your deck, each with their own special moves, to help you in your quest. I was impressed there was a story to game, albeit a little simple. But it still helped to position yourself in the game with a goal and focus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/053e012a-29fa-454b-b930-626adefa97a3/Screenshot+2025-02-15+at+16.56.33.png All Posts - Wildfrost: A Frozen Adventure Full of Strategy and Card Battles The gameplay works like any other deckbuilder card battler, you drag your weapon over to the enemy to reduce their health by the card’s attack stat. You tend to face the same enemies on each run, although the enemies can differ dependant on the tribe you’ve selected your leader from. If you win, you get to progress to the next stop, which will either be to find a new companion, card, charm or shop. You collect coins along the way and this allows you to buy new cards in the shop, or special charms, each with a unique power you can add to your leader, companion or some cards in your deck, dependant on the charm type. The gameplay is smooth and moves quickly, but you feel in control of the placement of the cards. The AI moves at a good pace, and it’s very easy to get sucked into the game. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/2e6d5002-af3c-42de-8f9a-4881e34d26fa/Screenshot+2025-02-15+at+16.55.54.png All Posts - Wildfrost: A Frozen Adventure Full of Strategy and Card Battles The game has a very cutesy design and fits very well in it’s snowy setting, which personally I really enjoyed. I was impressed by the amount of variants of leaders, and this spread across the 3 tribes allows for a good variety of gameplay styles. The companions and allies you pick up along the way start to feel like they have little personalities with their colourful designs, and there was some fun enemy designs that matched their special attacks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/ce4fb868-5bdc-489d-b589-b25b03b79ddc/Screenshot+2025-02-15+at+16.57.44.png All Posts - Wildfrost: A Frozen Adventure Full of Strategy and Card Battles - The game itself is not that easy, or at least it wasn’t for me. But it is incredibly addictive, so I didn’t mind the challenge. I’ve easily put in 30 hours and only completed a run with one of the tribes - although I don’t know if that says more about my possible lack of talent with these types of games! There’s so much variety within each run, from the random generator of leaders, to the different companions you can choose, or charms you might pick up, and each tribe has it’s own set of weapons which really makes the game feel like you’re playing afresh each time, even while you’re getting better charms each run. If you like a deckbuilder, you will definitely get dozens of hours of gameplay out of this game, probably more if you got as addicted to it as me! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/e745078d-5e88-4d11-ab2a-5bf7263e9a71/Screenshot+2025-02-15+at+17.00.18.png All Posts - Wildfrost: A Frozen Adventure Full of Strategy and Card Battles After spending a good 30+ hours battling through Wildfrost's eternal winter, I can confidently say this game is both challenging and incredibly addictive. Its charming, cartoonish visuals and smooth gameplay create an cozy atmosphere, but each run requires strategic planning and adaptability. The variety of tribes, leaders, and companions ensures that no two adventures are the same, keeping the experience fresh and engaging. While the difficulty curve is steep and success often relies on a bit of luck, the fun of assembling a powerful deck and getting through the enemies and bosses is well worth the effort. If you're a fan of roguelike deck builders and enjoy a good challenge, Wildfrost is definitely worth your time. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-all-you-need-is-help monthly 0.5 2025-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/aec72e03-89d0-425a-92ea-386d4c38d466/all+you+need+is+help.jpg All Posts - All You Need Is Help Review: A Hilarious Co-Op Puzzle Game Full of Silliness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/b966ece6-8a10-4c67-81a3-aa1cf3c8649f/Screenshot+2025-02-22+at+14.15.11.png All Posts - All You Need Is Help Review: A Hilarious Co-Op Puzzle Game Full of Silliness The game introduces it’s characters as 4 different coloured cubes, and a little home for each cube. Each of the homes has a wardrobe for accessories you can collect, you can change your animal face on the cube, and decorate with items you win from the gacha with the coins you collect in the puzzles. There’s no major story here, but as a multiplayer puzzle game it doesn’t really need one, a game like this just needs a satisfying gameplay and cute aesthetics for me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/04274e9a-7a86-4ba1-9839-fc8455f0d46a/Screenshot+2025-02-22+at+14.16.03.png All Posts - All You Need Is Help Review: A Hilarious Co-Op Puzzle Game Full of Silliness There’s a few different ways to play All You Need is Help, dependant on the number of players you have. There always has to be 4 players, so if you’re playing solo, you can ring the bell in your camp to play with online players, you can add a friend code and play with friends online, or you can play in couch co-op. I played this on the Xbox with my partner, and you use the left stick and buttons for one character and right stick and buttons for your second character. This in itself is a fun brain puzzle as you need to control 2 characters at the same time, and honestly we we’re in fits of giggles before we’d even got started on the puzzles trying to control the cubes. Once in the puzzles, you can’t rotate the shapes, you must push yourself against each other to rotate your cubes, which again, had us in stitches. The puzzles aren’t anything too challenging, but working together to solve them with fun controls was good fun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/387f439f-8080-42a8-b56e-58d4de8c31d9/Screenshot+2025-02-22+at+14.17.23.png All Posts - All You Need Is Help Review: A Hilarious Co-Op Puzzle Game Full of Silliness The game is very cute and colourful with a kawaii design for the different animals and setting. You can customise your cubes with accessories you collect or changing your animal type, and you can decorate your little pens with items you collect along the puzzles. Visually I thought the game looked adorable, and it was a fun contrast to the slightly chaotic gameplay. The dialogue for each character was a bit irritating and repetitive, but the music is cute and overall I really enjoyed the look and feel of the game. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/3d05f958-dbb7-4104-9fca-71ef6f24de93/Screenshot+2025-02-22+at+14.15.25.png All Posts - All You Need Is Help Review: A Hilarious Co-Op Puzzle Game Full of Silliness - There’s over a 160 different levels you can play, which gives plenty of longevity for the game if you enjoy it. Some levels are better than others, and if you’re playing online there’s obviously no guarentee you’ll be playing with other players who want to win rather than disrupt, but in couch co-op, it’s good fun to be debating with each other on the best tactics. You can unlock items to decorate and customise, but they’re a little limiting, I wouldn’t be coming back to play for this alone. But I’d happily play a half an hour here and there in couch co-op. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/cdf70722-168b-4b8f-9f23-80f6da89029e/Screenshot+2025-02-22+at+14.17.07.png All Posts - All You Need Is Help Review: A Hilarious Co-Op Puzzle Game Full of Silliness Overall, All You Need is Help is a fun puzzle game, I really enjoyed it’s cute kawaii design and I had a good giggle with my partner playing this. The controls are a fun brain puzzle trying to control 2 cubes at the same time, and the puzzles although not too challenging are fun to complete. The dialogue is repetitive and irritating, and while I enjoy the attempt to add extra parts to the game like customisation and decorations for your pen, they’re not things that would pull me back to play more, and just felt a little unnecessary. But if you’re looking for a fun 2-4 player puzzle game where you’ll debate tactics and have a laugh, it’s definitely worth a go! https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-hauntii monthly 0.5 2025-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/fef92b2c-679c-49ae-a2ae-b2d49debbbf5/capsule_616x353+%282%29.jpg All Posts - Hauntii: A Unique Puzzle Game with a Ghostly Twist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/4aed034e-c8d4-48ae-be4d-0db85566bb0b/Screenshot+2025-02-15+at+17.06.23.png All Posts - Hauntii: A Unique Puzzle Game with a Ghostly Twist Hauntii follows the story of a little ghost who wakes up in a mysterious, abandoned world. As you move through the spooky yet oddly cozy areas, you’ll uncover the secrets of your surroundings, meet other quirky characters, and solve puzzles that unlock new areas of the haunting. The narrative is light but intriguing, with just the right balance of mystery to keep you hooked without overwhelming you. It’s a game that invites curiosity and discovery, perfect for fans of slow-burn storytelling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/d55178b2-b768-46d1-aab2-3457b14df587/Screenshot+2025-02-15+at+17.06.03.png All Posts - Hauntii: A Unique Puzzle Game with a Ghostly Twist The gameplay in Hauntii is focused on solving puzzles in a variety of creatively designed environments. You’ll need to possess objects, manipulate the environment, and use your ghostly abilities to progress. The puzzles are clever but never too frustrating, making the game feel like a relaxing challenge. The platforming mechanics are smooth, and the pace is steady, nothing too intense, just enough to keep you engaged without feeling rushed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/10da0416-a048-4ee0-ae8b-b73784557789/Screenshot+2025-02-15+at+17.05.41.png All Posts - Hauntii: A Unique Puzzle Game with a Ghostly Twist Visually, Hauntii is a gorgeous mix of spooky and cozy and the real charm of the game, it’s very unique looking. The world is full of soft, muted colors and eerie, atmospheric lighting, which creates a dreamlike vibe. The character design is minimalistic but full of charm, especially the little ghost protagonist. It’s the perfect balance of cute and spooky, drawing you into its world without being too creepy for cozy gamers. The art style is simple but effective, with just enough detail to make the haunted mansion feel like a living, breathing world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/816f3ca0-b453-4883-b714-27edbbde5b97/Screenshot+2025-02-15+at+17.04.44.png All Posts - Hauntii: A Unique Puzzle Game with a Ghostly Twist - Hauntii takes around 10 hours to complete although there’s plenty of puzzles to complete. The game’s pacing is slow and intentional, allowing you to savor every discovery. If you enjoy exploring every corner of the map and solving puzzles at a relaxed pace, there’s a lot to love here. However, if you’re looking for fast-paced action, this one might not be your vibe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/644e52a3-8b2c-450b-a8d4-aaeeb9f16711/Screenshot+2025-02-15+at+17.04.58.png All Posts - Hauntii: A Unique Puzzle Game with a Ghostly Twist Hauntii is a charming, atmospheric puzzle platformer that perfectly balances spooky vibes with cozy gameplay.

The game was impressively made by just 2 developers, and has such an endearing design I was instantly impressed with the visuals.

The mechanic for catching fish is quite original, and can be a challenge dependant on the fish you are trying to catch. I also liked that you can unlock different weapons and upgrade your equipment to delve deeper into the ocean. The management of the restaurant has it’s own challenges too. I really enjoyed the little details, from the phone apps to the colourful characters, and found the game to have an addictive loop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/1ad49f2f-39a1-42c5-b06d-37fee733dd6d/header+%281%29.jpg All Posts - My Favourite Games Played in 2024 - Developer Image: Nomada Studios I found GRIS to be a wholly unique experience in it’s entirety, with the story, visuals, music and gameplay all working in a gorgeous union with each other to create a powerful and emotional experience. The puzzles are unique and feel neccesary to the development of her story, as well as some visually beautiful boss like sequences. It fits well within the platforming genre, but to me that’s not all this game is. It felt important, and a full experience that most players would be able to really connect with.

I found this game a highly memorable experience, and the thrill of beating a frustratingly challenging game was a real sense of achievement. I don’t think this game deserves the level of dislike that it sometimes gets, although, if I was playing it on first release on the SNES without any rewind function, I might feel very differently!

I really enjoyed the different character types you could unlock and play as, and I thought there was a great variety of different card types. The game has a good level of challenge too, dependent on your luck with a run could have you all the way to the final boss. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/1714242271460-CE0DJEJXSHNE0OUHFXUS/Deathsdoor1.jpg All Posts - My Favourite Games Played in 2024 - Developer Image: Acid Nerve Death’s Door is a delightfully bleak yet charming game with a thoughtful story, deeply satisfying gameplay and gorgeously sharp visuals. The game is challenging, and takes a few goes sometimes to lern the pattern of the beasts and defeat them, but this is by no means a critisism. Every battle feels achievable making it highly addictive, if not enjoyably frustrating at times.

While it may not be quite as sophisticated as BG3, this is by no means an insult to a game that is already absolutely brimming with story, dialogue paths and outcomes, and still had a strong story and reasonably likeable characters. But, as it has been the year of D&D engine based RPGs for me, Divinity Original Sin (1 and 2 really) have to come in second place for me this year, if for no other reason than the sheer surprise that I enjoyed these games so much and found myself a new genre to adore. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/5c100f35-387e-4fab-8618-e822621b8337/header.jpg All Posts - My Favourite Games Played in 2024 - Developer Image: Larian Studios The first game I played in 2024 by far became not only my favourite of the year, but one of my favourite games of all time. The quanitity of possible outcomes/dialogue threads/endings available in this game is nothing short of astounding, and this is just the beginning of the incredible merits of this game. The character development is so strong you feel like you actually know the characters (queue my insanely large crush on Gale!) and the turn based battling is incredibly satisfying. Having never played dungeons and dragons myself, the accessibility of the format was quite surprising to a complete novice, all was explained so well and gradual throughout the gameplay that I always knew what was going on. The game completely took me by surirse, blew me away and opened up an entirely new game style and hobby for me. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/minami-lane-review monthly 0.5 2025-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/9dffc240-1577-4aca-8931-bc76b8a37a78/capsule_616x353+%285%29.jpg All Posts - Minami Lane: A Wholesome Japanese Kawaii Management Game Full of Charm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/f41c326f-9990-4b55-a499-4c2113982d2c/minami+lane1.PNG All Posts - Minami Lane: A Wholesome Japanese Kawaii Management Game Full of Charm The story is simple, you are here to help Ema transform streets into vibrant neighbourhoods with different shops and attractions to please the street you are building.

The gameplay is simple, and involves managing your money to select shops that will be suitable to complete the tasks. It’s easy to click between shops to modify your recipes and shop stock, and to scroll across the street cleaning rubbish or spotting cats to stroke. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/64300dcb-72c0-4b93-aeb7-9ab58e87e0d1/minami+lane+7.PNG All Posts - Minami Lane: A Wholesome Japanese Kawaii Management Game Full of Charm The game has a distinct Kawaii design and is based around a cute Japanese street. Although the visuals are repetitive, they are very charming and I really enjoyed unlocking a new shop to see what it would look like, and what the different upgrades would look like. You can change the colours of the shops but it’s all within a set of 6 colours within the game’s colour scheme. While it was nice to maintain the aesthetic, I would have liked more options to personalise the shops. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/0b42315e-e96a-4191-bcc7-9b98f9541331/minami+lane+5.PNG All Posts - Minami Lane: A Wholesome Japanese Kawaii Management Game Full of Charm - The game is short, I completed within around 3 hours. There are 5 levels in total, with compulsory tasks to complete and optional ones. It’s not an overly challenging game so I was able to complete the optional tasks within each level. However if you hadn’t you could go back to each level to complete in full. But honestly, I’d have played another 10 hours of this game easily, so if any DLC for more levels comes out I’ll definitely be getting them. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/top-games-like-stardew-valley monthly 0.5 2025-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/46f273d5-9a4e-438a-9bce-423169934dff/fields+of+mistria.jpg All Posts - Looking for Stardew Valley Alternatives?

Your uncle is a shepherd, and he encourages you to discover the unique creatures around the various biomes and keep a log of them, and if you can, charm them to add to your flock. They also tell you about some elusive creatures, unique and beautifully designed creatures to try and charm into your flock. The elusive creatures usually work like the “bosses” in the game, but as there is no combat, the challenge is to complete puzzles to charm them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/dac74d94-4559-4253-a8c5-5a709747d7b6/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+18.18.41.png All Posts - Flock Review: A Cozy Creature Catcher Adventure on The Back of a Bird Flock is ultimately a creature catcher, similar to Pokemon but without the battling. Instead, you must observe the creatures you come across, charm them and collect them to add to your flock, and they will elegantly glide behind you as you explore the land, soaring across different landscapes. To charm new creatures, you need to find particular whistles, which involves a mini game where you need to press at a certain time, similar to a fishing mini game. This would be one of my few niggles with the game, I found this a little tideous and awkward. It got easier the more I got used to the mechanic, but it took me a while to get used to it. And the rarer the creature the more awkward this is, but of course, that adds to the challenge. The flying mechanic is really smooth, the bird flies on it’s own in terms of height and avoiding obstacles, all you need to do is direct it left or right or give it a boost in speed. But it’s a delightful mechanic, very enjoyable to sweep across the landscapes with your trailing flock of colourful creatures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/dd00ce80-ceaa-4524-96b9-773cc05d5236/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+18.25.01.png All Posts - Flock Review: A Cozy Creature Catcher Adventure on The Back of a Bird I was really impressed with the visuals in the game. The characters are a little blocky but they all fit within the theme, and the different biomes have thorough detail to differentiate them from each other. But the best designs in the game are the creatures, they’re unique, bright and colourful, especially the elusive creatures which feel like they have a slight design level up to isolate them as the rarer breeds. The graphic of shearing the sheep is probably my favourite bit of the whole game. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/2bfdf3ed-8a88-4f3e-baff-3a5bf1a39c62/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+18.20.40.png All Posts - Flock Review: A Cozy Creature Catcher Adventure on The Back of a Bird - The story takes around 6 hours to complete, and there’s lots to do. Even once the story is complete you can go back and collect any creatures you’ve not found, or complete the mini games and collect clothing items. The game unfortunately felt a little front heavy for my liking. The first half is really strong and enjoyable, but when I was getting into the last quarter, I felt a bit like I was constantly retreading areas without much direction. This was a real shame because I was thoroughly charmed by the first half of the game. As a result, once the story was over I was a bit burnt out by it, and didn’t have much of a desire to go back and find the more well hidden creatures. I definitely had my fill, and without much of a story or unique characters, I don’t feel like I’d have much of a craving to go back. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/3414834a-bd68-429c-927e-6a533b02bdbc/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+18.22.42.png All Posts - Flock Review: A Cozy Creature Catcher Adventure on The Back of a Bird All of that being said, I found Flock overall a very enjoyable experience. It has it’s flaws for sure, being top heavy, and a slightly clumsy catching mini game. But aside from that, the game is very visually striking, the creatures are delightful to discover, really bright and colourful and I loved having plenty to collect. Soaring across the unique biomes with an ever growing flock of adorably designed creatures is great fun, so I would definitely recommend on that basis. My criticisms could be down to personal taste, so if you like a cute creature catcher collectathon, you’ll definitely enjoy Flock. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-oxenfree monthly 0.5 2025-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/c428ffd6-6c23-4615-b81d-b1e975d38f89/header+%287%29.jpg All Posts - Oxenfree Review: A Cozy, Spooky Adventure https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/1e61ef62-90dd-49b7-8c79-fa822673f63d/oxenfree+1.PNG All Posts - Oxenfree Review: A Cozy, Spooky Adventure Oxenfree is a supernatural thriller that focuses on a group of friends having an overnight party on an old military island. You play as Alex, a teenage girl who’s just reconnected with her stepbrother Jonas. However, things take a strange turn when they discover an abandoned radio and accidentally open a gateway to a parallel dimension. As you guide Alex through the story, you'll encounter unsettling supernatural events and uncover the dark secrets of the island.

The mechanics are simple but effective, walking around, solving puzzles, and interacting with objects or characters to advance the story. The dialogue system is a standout feature, with real time conversations that allow players to choose how Alex responds, affecting the relationship dynamics between characters and the unfolding story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/32b4848c-5c86-4045-8832-ae432f9a8aff/oxenfree+4.PNG All Posts - Oxenfree Review: A Cozy, Spooky Adventure - Make it stand out The game’s pacing is slow, but it’s perfect for soaking in the atmosphere and letting the tension build. The occasional jump scares are well timed, and the paranormal elements keep you on your toes without overwhelming you with constant fear. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters and their dynamics with each other as the game progressed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/9f0dc4ef-ae78-4621-bac8-f5ec91ff93af/oxenfree+3.PNG All Posts - Oxenfree Review: A Cozy, Spooky Adventure One of the standout features of Oxenfree is its art direction. The game uses a hand drawn, 2D style with a colorful yet muted palette that gives it a dreamlike quality. The island’s landscapes are gorgeous yet haunting, with the dark, foggy atmosphere and eerie lighting contributing to the game’s spooky vibe. The character designs are simplistic but charming, and the subtle use of visual effects, like flickering lights and shifting shadows, enhances the supernatural elements of the game. It’s cozy in its own way, but the occasional strange visual effect will keep you on edge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/4618a48c-72e2-4ad7-bfea-f83563a27052/oxenfree+2.PNG All Posts - Oxenfree Review: A Cozy, Spooky Adventure - Oxenfree isn’t a long game, with an average playtime of around 4-6 hours, but it packs a lot of emotional depth and intrigue into that timeframe. The game’s branching dialogue choices encourage multiple playthroughs to explore different outcomes, making it more replayable than it first appears. Though not an expansive open world, the island feels rich with detail, offering just enough to keep you engaged without dragging on too long. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/414a9e4b-17cc-486f-babb-5adb3e807bba/oxenfree+5.PNG All Posts - Oxenfree Review: A Cozy, Spooky Adventure Oxenfree is a spooky yet cozy adventure that delivers a deeply engaging story with intriguing characters and just the right amount of eerie tension. It’s a must play for anyone who loves narrative-driven games with a touch of the supernatural. The game masterfully blends moments of warmth with unsettling paranormal occurrences, making it a unique experience in the world of cozy gaming. Whether you're in it for the story, the atmosphere, or the occasional jump scare, Oxenfree offers a perfect mix that’s bound to keep you hooked from start to finish and I couldn’t recommend more highly. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-turnip-boy-robs-a-bank monthly 0.5 2025-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/55585686-ac91-4582-b05a-72aec88bfc21/header+%288%29.jpg All Posts - Turnip Boy Robs a Bank Review: A Hilarious and Quirky Rogue-Like Heist Adventure https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/af822792-8a0f-4d7b-9ede-6d816793b9c9/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+18.58.50.png All Posts - Turnip Boy Robs a Bank Review: A Hilarious and Quirky Rogue-Like Heist Adventure The title of the game is fairly self explanatory in this instance, the sequel to Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, this time you are playing as Turnip Boy robbing a bank. There’s throwbacks to the first game in the story, as the head of the Pickled Gang was friends with your father and is roping you into another escapade to get rich, by whatever means. The story isn’t massively complicated but it’s surprisingly rich and engaging, you get to know a cast of characters both in the gang and residing in the bank, each with quirky personalities and fun tasks to complete and it’s delightful to come across a new unique character. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/76f1588b-cdd1-46e6-a9d0-e115f8ab361d/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+18.59.52.png All Posts - Turnip Boy Robs a Bank Review: A Hilarious and Quirky Rogue-Like Heist Adventure Differing from it’s predecessor, Robs a Bank is actually a roguelite, which I wasn’t expecting but was delighted by. You have to keep entering the bank every day, battle through enemies, collect weapons, meet characters, complete tasks, shake down customers for cash, and ultimately find a way into the bank’s vaults. The more money you collect, the more items you can purchase on the black market, and the more upgrades you can buy for yourself and your weapons to allow you more time in the bank or power in your attacks. Each run you’re getting stronger, defeat more bosses and can go further into the bank. Each weapon has a different play style, so you have to get used to that quite quickly because the runs are fast paced, but it’s fun to work out what weapons work best for your playstyle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/d2029796-1671-4c0f-9f38-14fd81a61f72/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+18.56.29.png All Posts - Turnip Boy Robs a Bank Review: A Hilarious and Quirky Rogue-Like Heist Adventure I love the design of the game, it’s vibrant, bright and colourful with a retro design. The areas are filled with furniture or items unique to the area, but the best designs in the game are the characters. All variations of vegetables and fruits, each are brimming with personality and detail that match their character. The weapons you find along the way are fun and unique designs too, as well as the enemies and bosses you come across. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/74def24e-3184-4f79-9e8e-706bbbc6cd83/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+19.00.00.png All Posts - Turnip Boy Robs a Bank Review: A Hilarious and Quirky Rogue-Like Heist Adventure - The game is around 4 hours, or 6 hours for completionists that want to complete all tasks and collect all funky hats. I found the game very well paced, the more money you get, the more upgrades you can get, and I found I could get an upgrade of some variety on more or less each run, so this prevented the gameplay from feeling stale. The game has a great flow, and while not overly long, it’s an enjoyable 4-6 hours for sure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/9547165c-08e4-4dae-ab36-d621bf566a2d/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+18.55.52.png All Posts - Turnip Boy Robs a Bank Review: A Hilarious and Quirky Rogue-Like Heist Adventure I really enjoyed this game. I went in blind not really knowing what to expect, but Turnip Boy Robs a Bank absolutely exceeded my expectations. I found the story engaging, the characters thoroughly charming and delightful, I had a good giggle playing this game. But the roguelite gameplay style of the game is the real star of the show, it has a great flow, is well paced and it’s great fun to shoot around and pick up loot. I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a bright, fun, cozy shooter. Although there are guns, and I understand that isn’t for everybody, it isn’t threatening, a genuinely very enjoyable experience and cozier than you would expect. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-donut-county monthly 0.5 2025-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/0c5f0666-45b1-42cf-9ecc-4189a2eafda3/donut+county.jpg All Posts - Donut County: A Lighthearted Puzzle Game about Swallowing Everything in Sight https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/fde8b8dd-f390-4630-9a90-f606e31c5a8c/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+18.48.45.png All Posts - Donut County: A Lighthearted Puzzle Game about Swallowing Everything in Sight In Donut County, pesky Racoon BK has recently taken over the town’s donut shop. But items, homes, pets and people have started going missing in the town. It turns out, when you order a donut, you are inadvertently inviting a sink hole to your home, that grows larger with everything that falls into it, eventually taking in almost the entire town and plunging it thousands of miles underground. Your task is to figure out how to get the town back up on land, but that might require sucking in more unassuming characters to help from the underground up. I really liked the main character BK, and the gentle humour is a good fun experience. New characters are quite quirky, and it is enjoyable to see your townsfolk grow underground. All dialogue is done through dialogue led cut scenes, but they are quite enjoyable, as you all work together to try and figure a way out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/0daf29db-2e1d-4afe-98cc-66225e4040c5/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+18.49.53.png All Posts - Donut County: A Lighthearted Puzzle Game about Swallowing Everything in Sight The main aim in the game is to grow your sink hole larger and larger to pick up all the items on the plane. The hole will begin small, and will have enough room to take in a rock to trees to cars to entire buildings. To do this, you sweep across the area and pick up what you can. I found this very fun, it’s a simple physics puzzle but it’s quite pleasing to grow the hole big enough to fit bigger objects. There’s some fun things that will add an extra puzzle to the mechanic, for example if two rabbits fall in, they will duplicate, and their offspring will grow the hole, or if a frog falls in, you can project it up to use it’s tongue to stick to high objects and drag them in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/9dd4e930-345b-4269-8123-1bb5cf302abf/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+18.52.41.png All Posts - Donut County: A Lighthearted Puzzle Game about Swallowing Everything in Sight The design is simplistic but it’s pleasant to look at. The colours are vibrant, and the space is well filled, some levels are a bit more exciting and detailed than others. I’d have liked a little more variety in terms of biomes, some areas looked a little similar to others even though you could tell they were trying not to, but all in all I did enjoy the design. The characters you meet had some unique designs too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/fc0f6ae6-c1cb-4aa9-8131-cdf7f457cab9/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+18.49.20.png All Posts - Donut County: A Lighthearted Puzzle Game about Swallowing Everything in Sight - The game is only around 2 hours in length, but it is well filled. The story is fun to plod along through as you find out more about the devious Raccoon hierarchy and their plans. However, once the game is over it’s over, you can’t go back. But I’m not sure you’d need to, the aim is to clear all of the screens, so there wouldn’t be anything to go back and complete! Considering the game is only 2 hours long, I could definitely see myself going back to play it again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/53920a50-5045-47b7-9109-bf006fbeb7ea/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+18.50.14.png All Posts - Donut County: A Lighthearted Puzzle Game about Swallowing Everything in Sight Overall, I really enjoyed Donut County. It’s simple, clean and crisp design is very pleasing, and I enjoyed the mechanic of the every growing hole and seeing what I could get to topple into it. It’s quite a unique gameplay, I’ve not played anything like it before. It’s a simple puzzle, there isn’t much of a challenge at all, but that’s not a deal breaker for me. The real charm of the game however is BK the raccoon, I really enjoyed his character and the evolution of the story. For such a short game, the story is very strong, and I liked that I could complete everything to complete the game, I didn’t have to have that occasional dread niggle I get when my completionist brain kicks in and wants to finish everything but I don’t want to play the game anymore. It's fun, cute, doesn’t outstay it’s welcome, all in all I’d definitely recommend. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-little-kitty-big-city monthly 0.5 2025-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/f01bfdfc-eee6-4742-b67f-7dce3386a9c4/header+%2810%29.jpg All Posts - Little Kitty, Big City: A Charming Cat Adventure in a Colourful Urban World https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/4b9db9ed-cd4a-47b3-ad47-24dfe5cb97bb/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+19.35.54.png All Posts - Little Kitty, Big City: A Charming Cat Adventure in a Colourful Urban World When you fall off your cozy apartment balcony, you must use your cat like skills and aloofness to find a way back home, with the help (kind of) of a cheeky crow. As you adventure around the town, you’ll meet a variety of unique characters, some that can help, some that can hinder, in your quest to get home. Complete tasks for them, and you may receive some help, or if you’re lucky, a funky hat! The story is fine, nothing to exciting, but it sets up the game fine with a reasonable plot to follow. The characters that you come across are fun enough, but again, nothing too exciting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/f50c4765-3585-4767-8848-ceecaf6eae21/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+19.37.09.png All Posts - Little Kitty, Big City: A Charming Cat Adventure in a Colourful Urban World As you travel around the city, you can both help out characters with their tasks, from smashing jam jars to helping to find some missing ducklings, but you can also cause a little mischief, from tripping up passers by to steal their sandwiches, to knocking over plant pots and stealing slippers. The game’s “mischief element” is quite similar to Untitled Goose Game, so if you enjoyed that you’d probably enjoy this game too. The mechanics work okay, jumping on ledges and climbing fences works well, I didn’t find them too difficult to control. But the biggest issue I had personally was motion sickness. There are a lot of settings you can change to help with that, and they did help, but as someone who really struggles with motion sickness in games I had a hard time playing this game in anything but half hour chunks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/7266f701-626a-40e3-b15e-34dc0522a0a0/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+19.37.58.png All Posts - Little Kitty, Big City: A Charming Cat Adventure in a Colourful Urban World Visually the game is very cute. The details around the city are charming, and the spaces feel relatively full. I liked how you could just run into shops and cause a bit of havoc, and there did feel like there was something to do around every corner. The hats you can collect are just adorable, and the game is bright and vibrant with a clean design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/658efd20-673b-4357-a007-9f85f0ad23a8/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+19.36.15.png All Posts - Little Kitty, Big City: A Charming Cat Adventure in a Colourful Urban World - There’s many hats to collect, so that would definitely give a reason to go back and play. To collect the hats you need to collect shinies, which are pennies and screws you come across that you can trade with the crow for more hats, or a variety of tasks to complete from residents of the city. There’s a list of achievements too that you can go back and complete. Personally, when I’d finished the story though I felt like I’d had my fill, and the story and characters aren’t charming or exciting enough to have a big desire to go back to. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/4094751a-a8a8-465f-9474-c5130018acd9/Screenshot+2024-11-29+at+19.38.25.png All Posts - Little Kitty, Big City: A Charming Cat Adventure in a Colourful Urban World Overall, Little Kitty Big City is a very cute looking game. Unfortunately, for me that’s kind of where the fun stops. The story is simplistic, the characters are just fine and the collecting of shinies felt a bit tedious. I did enjoy completing the tasks for the residents though, and the chaos you can cause is pretty fun, I enjoyed smashing plant pots, ruining paintings and tripping up business people passing by. This element is very similar to Untitled Goose Game, but that game really works as a whole package, Little Kitty Big City is lacking the character and humour of Untitled Goose Game. And as a personal niggle, I really struggled with motion sickness in this game, but that doesn’t affect everybody. If you can pick it up cheap or play on Gamepass, I’d definitely recommend for the cute silly elements, but aside from that, I wouldn’t bother playing the game again. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/legend-of-zelda-first-4-titles monthly 0.5 2025-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/10b42d42-612b-4da2-bf24-fd23913c6d21/Blog+Banners.png All Posts - The First 4 Legend of Zelda Games Compared: A Journey Through Zelda’s Early Years https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/9b548416-f54e-48cb-a814-23c5f1071685/zelda+1+world.PNG All Posts - The First 4 Legend of Zelda Games Compared: A Journey Through Zelda’s Early Years https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/472cff0c-ed56-4378-aa37-60ac80460477/zelda+2+map.PNG All Posts - The First 4 Legend of Zelda Games Compared: A Journey Through Zelda’s Early Years https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/d89e0ce3-b74d-4c15-b761-307eefaada13/zelda+3+village.PNG All Posts - The First 4 Legend of Zelda Games Compared: A Journey Through Zelda’s Early Years https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/ffb47a12-9e15-4b48-ad23-9a2c6d95ce13/zelda+3+boss.PNG All Posts - The First 4 Legend of Zelda Games Compared: A Journey Through Zelda’s Early Years https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/e4ff0b1f-519e-4c2c-91e5-cc7077b73c20/zelda+4+marin.PNG All Posts - The First 4 Legend of Zelda Games Compared: A Journey Through Zelda’s Early Years https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-links-awakening monthly 0.5 2025-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/dbab8bb7-ae8d-4527-86a4-6c4a46c22df9/zelda+4.PNG All Posts - Link's Awakening (1993) Review: A Dreamlike Zelda Adventure Full of Heart and Wonder https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/e4ff0b1f-519e-4c2c-91e5-cc7077b73c20/zelda+4+marin.PNG All Posts - Link's Awakening (1993) Review: A Dreamlike Zelda Adventure Full of Heart and Wonder Music plays a hugely important role in the game, and instead of collecting pieces of the triforce, you need to collect musical instruments to create an orchestra to play “The Ballad of the Windfish”, a beautiful melody devised by Marin, an inhabitant of the island. It’s a stunning piece, and it gave me goosebumps each time I heard it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/a5b12d72-7ea6-4b0f-b440-69560bd4f141/zelda+4+boss.PNG All Posts - Link's Awakening (1993) Review: A Dreamlike Zelda Adventure Full of Heart and Wonder The game itself I didn’t find too difficult in comparison to the first 3, I feel it was the easiest. The story flows you through the plot well, with helpful hints from the owl, to Old Man Ulrira in his telephone hut. The dungeons get more elaborate maps as time goes on, but the bosses themselves are quite straightforward to defeat. Except for, in my case, the eagle, who I must have hit almost 100 times before realising his energy regenerates if you get blown off the tower! It’s the first game in the series to add in a trading sequence, where you need to deliver items between the residents of the island, from pineapples to hair bows, and even a letter to a man being catfished by a goat! It’s also considered to be one of the first video games to feature a fishing minigame, which has become a staple in so many cozy games today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/ad3b21ce-382d-4aca-bc35-7640dffa5e94/zelda+4+rooster.PNG All Posts - Link's Awakening (1993) Review: A Dreamlike Zelda Adventure Full of Heart and Wonder And the game has the best use of Cuccos in the franchise for me with the Flying Rooster, a delightful experience where once unlocked you can be carried by the Rooster to fly to previously unreachable areas which I absolutely loved. Considering the gameboy was such a small screen, initially without colour, and using less powerful hardware than both the NES and SNES, Link’s Awakening is packed with imagination, fun and originality, and for me, is my favourite of the first 4 games. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-a-link-to-the-past monthly 0.5 2025-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/e7173baf-64a9-4a0b-896c-7149bb5a7e70/zelda+3.PNG All Posts - A Link to The Past (1991) Review: A Masterpiece That Defined the Zelda Formula https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/c0824b46-7a9c-4a68-a40f-3ea03e1ef2ee/zelda+3+cucco.PNG All Posts - A Link to The Past (1991) Review: A Masterpiece That Defined the Zelda Formula There's lots of beginnings and evolutions in this game. It’s the first time Kakariko Village is fully established, with townsfolk, shops, mini games and lots of cuccos! I love those chickens! It was the first in the franchise to introduce pieces of hearts rather than full containers, and of course, it’s the introduction of the ultimate weapon, the Master Sword. Collecting items like the flute or the hookshot felt like they had real purpose and led the story along, as well as a being able to go back and unlock other caves or parts of the map with the new items. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/ffb47a12-9e15-4b48-ad23-9a2c6d95ce13/zelda+3+boss.PNG All Posts - A Link to The Past (1991) Review: A Masterpiece That Defined the Zelda Formula The dungeons themselves could get a bit frustrating, but I have low patience for repetitive playing. The bosses had some cool designs, and some of them were a real challenge. I definitely rage quit a few times, only to get the bug to go back just one more time after a few breaks! But the best part of A Link to the Past is the expansion of the Zelda lore. In the first part of the game, I almost thought there was only going to be four dungeons, I was confused as to where the game was going, thinking it was going to be quite short. But then, I climbed a mountain, stood on a flashy square, and poof! I’m a rabbit. I’m thinking, what on earth is going on here? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/d89e0ce3-b74d-4c15-b761-307eefaada13/zelda+3+village.PNG All Posts - A Link to The Past (1991) Review: A Masterpiece That Defined the Zelda Formula Then the story really begins to unravel, with the split of the dark world and the light world, revealing not only a really interesting new line in the story, but a fun and inventive new way to solve puzzles. I found this game inventive, visually striking, beautifully melodic, frustrating, satisfying, and an all round incredible gaming experience I’d want to play again. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-zeldaii monthly 0.5 2025-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/e381864e-33a9-4fcb-9c66-dd253c5bc22d/zelda+2.PNG All Posts - Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (1987) Review: A Unique Challenge in the Zelda Series https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/472cff0c-ed56-4378-aa37-60ac80460477/zelda+2+map.PNG All Posts - Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (1987) Review: A Unique Challenge in the Zelda Series One of the main areas where the game differs to other titles in the series is in the combat. I found this much more technical, with a stronger focus on mastering a specific technique to defeat enemies, which in themselves are very difficult. I’ve heard the game be described as punishing, and I would say that is accurate. In the interest of complete transparency, I would not have been able to complete this game without the rewind function on the Nintendo Switch Online system - an absolute godsend. One of the most frustrating parts of the game is traversing the map, and the continuous random battle encounters that are just painful. And if you lose your 3 lives, you’re booted right back to the start of the game. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/cd03a8c1-b90a-4fa3-9e72-3fb8a5224fc8/zelda+2+level+up.PNG All Posts - Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (1987) Review: A Unique Challenge in the Zelda Series Despite all of this there was actually a lot to the game I really enjoyed. A different element to this game is a levelling up system, where you acquire points from battling enemies to level up your attack, magic or life. This came in really useful, especially when I hit a really difficult battle in the boss at dungeon 5. Initially, I thought this was my end point, I wasn’t going to be able to get past, and my infuriating journey with The Adventure of Link was going to come to an end. But at this point, I got the idea to use those annoying random map battles to my advantage, and I grinded and grinded. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/4344d19d-d49e-4420-8c54-6023f52733e8/zelda+2+spells.PNG All Posts - Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (1987) Review: A Unique Challenge in the Zelda Series The ability to level up in this manner hasn’t been possible in any other Zelda game, and I actually really enjoyed it. I could go from feeling weak to strong and keep on playing the game. Magic plays a major part in the game too, and while I didn’t use it much in the beginning, the more spells you unlock and the higher your level they became crucial to the success of a battle. All in all, The Adventure of Link was a highly memorable experience, and the thrill of beating a frustratingly challenging game was a real sense of achievement. I don’t think this game deserves the level of dislike that it sometimes gets, although, if I was playing it on first release on the SNES without any rewind function, I might feel very differently! https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-the-legend-of-zelda monthly 0.5 2025-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/ae1f8c56-39e8-4f69-9e7a-3e28590c822f/zelda+1.PNG All Posts - The Legend of Zelda (1986) Review: Exploring the Birth of a Legendary Franchise I’m on a quest to broaden my gaming experience into some new genres and to play some more retro games. With a deep love of The Legend of Zelda, Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, I’m going back to the beginning and playing the first 4 games in the franchise. All are included with Nintendo Switch Online, and with the new release of Echoes of Wisdom, there’s no better time to go back to the roots of the series and experience how it all started by playing The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II Link’s Adventure, A Link to The Past, and Link’s Awakening. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/f6dba00c-7b92-4e8b-a8bc-b2953470a939/zelda+1+dungeon.PNG All Posts - The Legend of Zelda (1986) Review: Exploring the Birth of a Legendary Franchise What I didn’t expect however, was the lack of map, which I wasn’t expecting. Plodding around the game was fine in the beginning, I found my first dungeon quite easily and to my surprise, got through the battles and bosses without too much trouble. The game is non linear so in theory you can take on any dungeon in any order, but you might need certain weapons for certain bosses. I did find my bearings without the map quite well after a while, but eventually I did hit a point where I found it easier to use a walkthrough (thank you Zelda dungeon.com!) just so the frustration of finding a dungeon didn’t get in the way of my enjoyment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/9b548416-f54e-48cb-a814-23c5f1071685/zelda+1+world.PNG All Posts - The Legend of Zelda (1986) Review: Exploring the Birth of a Legendary Franchise Visually, while of course simplistic compared to today’s standards, I actually found the 8 bit graphics quite charming. Being familiar already with common enemies like the Zoras or Lynels it was really fun to spot the early designs and to see where it all began. You’ll recognise the music, the little jingles when you find an item, and it was genuinely very fun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/8ec20915-a94c-4731-9da5-61893582017e/zelda+1+dungeon+boss.PNG All Posts - The Legend of Zelda (1986) Review: Exploring the Birth of a Legendary Franchise From a difficulty stand point, I was worried it was going to be really difficult in terms of puzzle complexity and boss difficulty. But I found the heart containers quite simply which helped, and the hardest part was up until the 5th dungeon, when I was able to get the magic sword, and then after that the bosses were a breeze. The game establishes the game format, story and characters well and is a really strong introduction to the franchise. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/september-2024-new-cozy-game-releases monthly 0.5 2025-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/c8a2a365-d588-41e1-9b42-b4b90f5fa524/2x1_NSwitch_TheLegendofZeldaEchoesOfWisdom_image1600w-1269407893.jpg All Posts - 6 New Cozy Games out This September 2024!

As you travel to different towns, from sunny seaside to bustling city, you meet a variety of characters with tasks they need help with.

Each photography task you complete gains you stamps, and with enough stamps you can progress to a new area. The controls are lovely and smooth, and you can get a good amount of variation and depth control with the camera, allowing you to take that perfect shot. You can then build to complete your compendium in each area, snapping wildlife and animals to complete your album. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/3f4eb4af-bc83-4132-94aa-99513adccaa2/Screenshot+2024-08-23+at+17.58.23.png All Posts - Toem Review: A Charming Photography Adventure Through a Stylish World The greyscale colour scheme works really well in the game. It has a lovely newspaper like design to it, and what the game lacks in colour, it more than makes up for in the detail with something interesting filling each corner of the areas. The character designs are fun and silly, while the animal designs are cute and exciting to find a new creature to snap. Each area has it’s own unique style, and all the cartoon elements work together to give each area an individual look and theme. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/0f05c15a-ccf1-461b-8104-046586ecf709/Screenshot+2024-08-23+at+17.59.04.png All Posts - Toem Review: A Charming Photography Adventure Through a Stylish World - The story can be completed in a little under 4 hours, and honestly I’d have happily played for many more hours. There’s a relaxing feel to playing that you get immersed in, taking it at your own pace and exploring, and I was sad when it was over. The developers have added an extra level after completion of the story which was a nice touch, and if you’ve not completed your compendium you can return back to any of the areas and get the photos you need. I could see myself replaying the game. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/3f74b4ee-ffee-4d90-b33d-d7b501efca74/Screenshot+2024-08-23+at+18.03.50.png All Posts - Toem Review: A Charming Photography Adventure Through a Stylish World Overall, TOEM is a sweet, funny and relaxing game that I thoroughly enjoyed, and was sad to finish. The visuals and design are unique and enchanting, with detail around every corner and something new to find and explore. The tasks are enjoyable to complete, characters are funny to chat to, and I happily worked through my compendium to take all the photos to complete it. There’s also a relaxing soundtrack that really helps with the immersion. I would absolutely recommend this game to anyone looking for a relaxed adventure you can take at your own pace and collect sweet and funny photos. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/pokemon-trading-cards-pocket monthly 0.5 2025-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/2cd79e4a-d73e-4e35-81c7-b1eb02f8a694/pokemon-tcg-pocket-box-art-en.png All Posts - Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket Release Date Announced - Image: pokemon.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/009df643-cd03-4253-ba2f-ea54b746911a/Capture.JPG All Posts - Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket Release Date Announced - Make it stand out Image: tgcpocket.pokemon.com https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/nintendo-museum-first-look monthly 0.5 2025-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/d8085381-0be0-4fd2-9ec5-28ce4da77531/image01.png All Posts - Nintendo Museum First Look - Image: Museum.Nintendo.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/60051b09-26cc-45a8-9950-4d78f771f9fb/image03.png All Posts - Nintendo Museum First Look - Make it stand out Image: Museum.Nintendo.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/22326549-5609-41bf-ada9-530d8ece1d2d/image02.png All Posts - Nintendo Museum First Look - Make it stand out Image: Museum.Nintendo.com https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/august-2024-new-cozy-game-releases monthly 0.5 2025-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/46f273d5-9a4e-438a-9bce-423169934dff/fields+of+mistria.jpg All Posts - August 2024 Cozy Game Releases Release Date: 5th August 2024 Available on: PC Cost: €13.79 (Early Access) A new addition to the farming simulation genre.

Greeted by the Mayor, you are then introduced to the locals and are tasked with building a growing client base for your restaurant and helping the town to lift the curse that has been placed on them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/3947266c-0d95-453b-a3a6-0ab1dbab1419/Screenshot+2024-08-23+at+18.05.43.png All Posts - Rolling Hills Make Sushi Make Friends: A Cozy Sim About Running a Sushi Restaurant and Making Friends - Make it stand out You can get to know your neighbours by taking them to the local cafe for coffee or cakes, and the more time you spend with them the more you get to know their stories. The story overall and the characters are fairly hollow, which was quite disappointing. It doesn’t feel like you’re making much of an improvement to the town as the story progresses and the story itself is a bit basic. I’d have liked characters and a story with a bit more depth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/6c3d448d-e0e2-4f1d-97ac-0755895a73f6/Screenshot+2024-08-23+at+18.06.22.png All Posts - Rolling Hills Make Sushi Make Friends: A Cozy Sim About Running a Sushi Restaurant and Making Friends - The core gameplay loop of the game is to open your restaurant to customers and serve them their orders. Over time, you can unlock more recipes, and buy extra ingredients to “level up” their quality resulting in better pay. This was an enjoyable part of the game, as Sushi Bot’s controls are really smooth and fun to glide around the restaurant delivering orders in time. The tension can grow the larger your restaurant gets with more and more customers to serve at once, but you can unlock extra features to make this easier. You can also purchase different decorations that can help enhance your customer’s patience and increase the amount of money you earn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/cb6dd0fb-1e0f-4aef-8ab1-7d3f801c97da/Screenshot+2024-08-23+at+18.07.44.png All Posts - Rolling Hills Make Sushi Make Friends: A Cozy Sim About Running a Sushi Restaurant and Making Friends - While I loved the design of Sushi Bot, I wasn’t that impressed with the design of the rest of the characters, but that could be personal taste. The town itself was quite sparse, there was a lot of blank space and houses that you couldn’t enter. The recipe designs were quite cute, and I did enjoy the different hats and decorations you could purchase. The graphics were clean, I’d just have liked a bit more personality and character. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/a97bb1f3-e795-4bf9-95bd-afe37d3d609f/Screenshot+2024-08-23+at+18.05.30.png All Posts - Rolling Hills Make Sushi Make Friends: A Cozy Sim About Running a Sushi Restaurant and Making Friends - I completed the story in just under 10 hours, although there were more bits to unlock in the accessories that I didn’t go back to. There is plenty of recipes and accessories to unlock, but I did get all the decorations quite early in the game. While I really enjoyed the restaurant management part of the game, after a while it did get a little repetitive, and I was satisfied when the game ended as I felt I was retreading the same loop over and over. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/0bd874bf-f826-45f4-a88e-146bf5de9135/Screenshot+2024-08-23+at+18.10.48.png All Posts - Rolling Hills Make Sushi Make Friends: A Cozy Sim About Running a Sushi Restaurant and Making Friends The game was a bit of a mixed bag for me overall. While I really liked the design of Sushi Bot, the controls were fun, and the restaurant management element of the game was satisfyingly addictive, I found the visuals quite dull and the characters and story underwhelming and lacking in depth. If they’d have added a cooking simulation element to the game too I think it would have added an extra level of fun and variety. As the game is on Gamepass, I would recommend playing it there, and if you would be satisfied with the restaurant management part of the game, then it is enjoyable. However, if you’re looking for an good story and likeable characters, this wouldn’t be a good example. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/review-ashorthike monthly 0.5 2025-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/765aa4d1-3f70-4c0a-9c31-7326abdc72e9/A+short+hike.jpg All Posts - A Short Hike Review: A Relaxing Adventure Through a Scenic, Cozy World https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/04292397-d6de-443c-8240-98469aed6310/a+short+hike+pixely.PNG All Posts - A Short Hike Review: A Relaxing Adventure Through a Scenic, Cozy World Claire is an adventurous bird visiting her Aunt at the Hawk Peak Provincial Park for a break from home. Unfortunately, Claire has no mobile phone reception in the Park, so must hike and climb the park’s trails to find signal. Exploration is key to the game, and it’s up to you what path you take to find your way up the summit. You can explore at your own pace, and there’s plenty of the park to cover with helpful items to pick up, fellow hikers to meet and complete tasks for, and chests to find. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/8f5ff0d0-7eac-41c8-b525-c4fdf6be91ad/a+short+hike+task.PNG All Posts - A Short Hike Review: A Relaxing Adventure Through a Scenic, Cozy World - The controls of movement are buttery smooth, movement is a real highlight of this game and it’s both satisfying and enjoyable to jump off a cliff edge to glide to another ledge or area, or to climb up to a new summit. Purchasing the speed boat for rent was particularly fun, racing at quite a speed around the island to get to your next area more quickly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/da58cf1f-891d-47cb-9381-d0a1104eaeee/a+short+hike+stickball.PNG All Posts - A Short Hike Review: A Relaxing Adventure Through a Scenic, Cozy World - Make it stand out The gameplay revolves around meeting other hikers and residents and getting to know them, mostly by completing simple tasks for them. The characters are quirky with a good mix of humorous and mindfully encouraging dialogue, and I certainly enjoyed meeting all the characters and finding out their personality types, from thoughtful contemplatives to anxious artistic types, to downright sassy. These tasks range from collecting items, to finding lost possessions, and even a game of beachstickball. Most will give rewards of golden feathers, which increase your stamina, allowing you to climb higher or run faster around the reserve. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/f90c17a7-8ea6-403f-b1a5-bf10cb978cea/a+short+hike+fishing.PNG All Posts - A Short Hike Review: A Relaxing Adventure Through a Scenic, Cozy World Set on an mountainous island, the visuals include all the usual designs of the beach, ocean, lakes, mountains, trees and flowers that you’d expect in a pixel art style. The game is colourful accurate to a nature park with plenty of greenery and rockfaces, while the changes in weather in the various points of the island are perfectly themed. It has a lovely feel of being in nature, and soaring around the peak is a pretty experience seeing all the little details in design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/fd193ff4-6e87-405f-94df-9bf980a6f4ca/a+short+hike+pixel+menu.PNG All Posts - A Short Hike Review: A Relaxing Adventure Through a Scenic, Cozy World An option unique to A Short Hike is being able to select the pixel size to your preference, from “Big and Crunchy” which will give a blurrier 2000’s retro look with blockier pixels to “tiny and sharp” for a finer pixel size to give a fuller image. This was a lovely touch to the game meaning you can play in a style that best fits your visual preference, and no option diminishes the quality of the view or gameplay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/3a10eb0c-b60a-4925-99c0-f4c5e36dc48d/a+short+hike+snowy.PNG All Posts - A Short Hike Review: A Relaxing Adventure Through a Scenic, Cozy World - I completed the game in around 2 hours, although there is some extra tasks to pick up from collecting shells to filling out your fishing log. There’s plenty of chests to unlock as well as treasure to find from clues on treasure maps you find along the journey. However if you’ve completed enough tasks to gather enough golden feathers to reach the summit, there isn’t much of a purpose of completing any further tasks. That being said, I’ve played this game a few times now since it’s release as it’s calming atmosphere and short play time is a draw for a few hours to relax in an evening and it’s always been an enjoyable experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/16d1b3e6-2c2a-4baa-a747-f23345727e50/A+short+Hike+end.PNG All Posts - A Short Hike Review: A Relaxing Adventure Through a Scenic, Cozy World Overall, A Short Hike is a truly delightful experience. With it’s charming pixel art style, atmospheric music, scenic surroundings and smooth, intuative controls, the game is a pleasurable experience for a few hours. The game has a good sense of humour through the characters you meet, as well as some fun tasks to complete. The journey to the peak also holds a sweet story to conclude Claire’s adventure. I would highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a relaxing escape for a few hours in an evening, for a chuckle, a sweet story, and an exploration adventure you can take at your own pace. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/july-2024-new-cozy-game-releases monthly 0.5 2025-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/f6d06248-cf88-45fb-bfa0-b216483ca755/header+%284%29.jpg All Posts - Cozy Games to Pick Up this July 2024 Release Date: 6th July 2024 Available on: Steam, Xbox, Playstation Cost: €18.49 or Included in Xbox Gamepass Soar through beautiful landscapes in this co-op multiplayer game playing as a flying shepherd, charming creatures into your flock, gathering their wool and making them cute accessories. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/6e82e81a-74a4-4ba1-840a-050df6da647b/header.jpg All Posts - Cozy Games to Pick Up this July 2024 Release Date: 23rd July 2024 Available on: PC, Mac, Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo Switch Cost: €14.99 Uncover the secrets of a family mystery in this puzzle and photography game with a rich story where you recreate past photos and piece together memories in a hand drawn world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/adf87aec-0205-4ca3-b35d-cf604f0c796a/header+%285%29.jpg All Posts - Cozy Games to Pick Up this July 2024 Release Date: 12th March 2024 Available on: Steam Cost: €9.99 Explore a vibrant world of floating islands in your balloon ship in this colourful 2D puzzle platformer with elements of adventure and survival.

You encounter a star, and this leads you to a constellation path. The story suggests that Gris is coping with the loss of her mother, hinted by the many statues of female figures. Your journey through the stages of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance - progresses with beautifully themed environments. From desert to forest to underwater, each stage of grief is represented by the setting and colour scheme, symbolizing Gris's emotional journey. As you advance, Gris processes her grief, regains her voice, and adds colour back into the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/ac0066bd-a25a-4e4d-b418-74ffa66add4d/May+2024+%283%29.png All Posts - GRIS Game Review: A Heartfelt, Visually Gorgeous Adventure About Loss and Healing - GRIS is a side-scrolling platformer, so it follows the usual gameplay for this genre. You can also direct Gris to platforms in the background or foreground. Unlike most other platformers, there is no combat. Instead, the game focuses on light puzzles and platforming sequences to progress. The smoothness of Gris’s movement is delightful, and it’s truly enjoyable to sweep through the different areas. There are abilities to unlock, from turning into a heavy cube to an elegant double jump that helps reach high places. Most abilities work well and integrate into challenges that help solve the puzzles, though I did find the double jump a little awkward to navigate at times until I got used to the mechanic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/1e3ddc66-e9a4-4f25-bcd9-ae0c25c7b3d0/May+2024+%282%29.png All Posts - GRIS Game Review: A Heartfelt, Visually Gorgeous Adventure About Loss and Healing - Make it stand out The puzzles aren’t overly challenging, but occasionally they can be a bit frustrating. However, no puzzle took more than a few attempts to complete. Completing these puzzles gives you stars, which in turn help pave paths to new areas via constellations. There aren’t traditional boss battles, but there are still escape sequences and moments where you need to overcome obstacles in beautifully crafted, tense sequences that manage to evoke tension without combat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/5c6b71e2-233b-4d9e-89e3-6bcb4b5fbf20/May+2024+%284%29.png All Posts - GRIS Game Review: A Heartfelt, Visually Gorgeous Adventure About Loss and Healing GRIS is undeniably a visually striking game with a truly stunning art style. The game’s chapters span across four different colours, red, blue, green, and yellow, each theming the visuals in a watercolour style. The shift in colour represents Gris’s progression through each stage of grief and is a highly effective transition of mood. Little details like the trees, flowers, and fish in each area symbolize Gris's growth and hope, reflecting the overall emotional development of the character as she moves through her journey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/652359b5-2cb5-4cce-9da5-396f6d599db0/May+2024+%286%29.png All Posts - GRIS Game Review: A Heartfelt, Visually Gorgeous Adventure About Loss and Healing - I completed GRIS in around 4 hours, but they were fully engaging hours, and the conclusion was satisfying and well earned. While the game doesn’t offer much replay ability, you can revisit certain chapters after completing the game if you want to finish any puzzles you may have missed. I can definitely see myself picking up the game again, especially if I’m looking for a soothing experience or want to revisit the unique emotional journey GRIS offers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/2a3b439c-fe59-467e-aa9a-ce0ae95df9dc/May+2024+%285%29.png All Posts - GRIS Game Review: A Heartfelt, Visually Gorgeous Adventure About Loss and Healing Overall, I found GRIS to be a wholly unique experience, with the story, visuals, music, and gameplay all working beautifully together to create a powerful emotional journey. The puzzles are unique and feel necessary to Gris’s development, as do the visually beautiful boss-like sequences. While GRIS fits well within the platforming genre, to me, it's much more than that. It feels like a full experience that most players can truly connect with. I would recommend this game to everyone—whether you're looking for a visually stunning platformer with well-designed puzzles or a short yet emotionally impactful experience. GRIS is a four-hour journey that could be especially helpful for anyone experiencing grief or loss, but it’s also an essential game for anyone who appreciates beautiful storytelling and platforming. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/nintendo-direct-june2024 monthly 0.5 2025-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/ac3b880f-2762-4b3b-94e5-992a97f5dfe6/Zelda-Echoes-of-Wisdom.jpg All Posts - 10 Cozy Games Announced in June 2024 Nintendo Direct - Developer Image: Nintendo Release Date: Holiday Season 2024 The latest installment in the Legend of Zelda franchise allows you to play as Zelda for the first time in this action adventure RPG from the beloved series. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/e7460bf7-92ad-483b-ab63-e48e93dd621a/tales+of+the+shire.jpg All Posts - 10 Cozy Games Announced in June 2024 Nintendo Direct - Developer Image: Weta Workshop Release Date: Holiday Season 2024 A Lord Of The Rings inspired life sim set in Middle Earth where you can make friends, complete quests, farm, cook and decorate your hobbit home! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/bc7297a0-2bbc-4fe8-b8e6-edbb925ca715/download+%281%29.jfif All Posts - 10 Cozy Games Announced in June 2024 Nintendo Direct - Developer Image: Sunblink Entertainment LLC Release Date: 2025 Restore an abandoned island to it’s former glory with the supercute characters of Hello Kitty and Friends.

Through the items you learn that the character is an aspiring artist, you can see where they’ve travelled to with their souvenirs, and witness their life choices based on the homes they move to and try to make their own. The story is subtly threaded throughout the unpacking of each room, and offers a sentimental and thoughtful experience to reminisce on old memories, both happy and difficult all leading to life lessons to build to a home of their own. I found this element charming, and a sweet elevation to the simple drag and drop gameplay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/25ed59a6-39ba-479a-b8f7-135c8f0e4359/unpacking+5.PNG All Posts - Unpacking Review: A Tranquil Puzzle Game That Tells a Story of Change and Growth Each year within the game you are moving to a new room, apartment or home. You have a series of full boxes to unpack, from your art supplies to your shoes to your kitchen appliances and bathroom toiletries. You drag and drop the items to organise exactly as you would like it, stacking books, organising your cutlery drawer and placing your souvenirs and cuddy toys around your space to make it your own. There is a small element of puzzle to the game, certain items need to be within certain rooms or in drawers, and some items don’t go where you would initially expect them. There’s not always a great amount of space to place everything but that’s part of the challenge, and it’s very satisfying to see your shelves and wardrobes fill up with your belongings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/61f09558-522c-42a9-9689-b54682ea3fb9/unpacking+4.PNG All Posts - Unpacking Review: A Tranquil Puzzle Game That Tells a Story of Change and Growth Each room has it’s own unique style that either allows you to express yourself and make it your own, or in other ways shows that it’s not always easy to fit in with another person’s space. The detail in each of the items are a vibrant pixellated design and it becomes quite exciting to see what you are going to pull out next. Another sweet element of the items is the changes in technology over the years you’re following the character, from Gamecube to Ninendo WII, or from chunky CRT monitors to sleek LCD screens over time. These little elements really helped with the passage of time in the game, and added some fun little easter eggs to find. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/f833fab5-97f9-4c3b-b025-bb3c2c96b7b2/unpacking+8.PNG All Posts - Unpacking Review: A Tranquil Puzzle Game That Tells a Story of Change and Growth - The game is around 4 hours to complete, but they are a very satisfying 4 hours. There’s very little challenge to the game but that’s not the point, it aims to be a relaxing, meditative tidying game and for that it succeeds. There are stickers to unlock that work as acheivements adding to a little replayability once the story is over, but all in all it is a 4 hours and done. I would be interested in playing again after some time if I fancied the experience again, but the gameplay and results wouldn’t be much different, just slight different placement of items. I would definitely play some DLC or if a sequel to the game came along. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/b0b678e9-d35a-450b-b570-0558b800ad84/unpacking+6.PNG All Posts - Unpacking Review: A Tranquil Puzzle Game That Tells a Story of Change and Growth - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/blossom-tales-2-review monthly 0.5 2025-04-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/ca35ce8f-a2af-4b00-9bc4-18995afbb534/b%2C.jpg All Posts - Blossom Tales II: A Heartwarming RPG Adventure with Classic Zelda-Inspired Gameplay https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/e79a109b-2909-4be6-a994-6e5139691239/blossom+tales+1.PNG All Posts - Blossom Tales II: A Heartwarming RPG Adventure with Classic Zelda-Inspired Gameplay Just like it’s predecessor Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King, you play Lily, a young girl who’s Grandfather is telling her a bedtime story. The game you play is narrated by the Grandfather, and occassionally you will have the oppurtunity to select your preference to the progression of the story, for example choosing certain monsters to fight or selecting your animal companion. The main difference is the introduction of your brother Chrys, and he plays a big part within the story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/4d907abc-d9db-478d-826a-dd92374b942e/blossom+tales+2.PNG All Posts - Blossom Tales II: A Heartwarming RPG Adventure with Classic Zelda-Inspired Gameplay After an argument with Chrys, Grandpa’s story is an attempt to demonstrate to the children the importance of their sibling to each other and to learn to care and share with each other. As a result, Chrys is kidnapped by the villain, The Minotaur King, where he is eventually convinced that his family do not miss him and that he should stay with the Minotaur King to become his Prince. It is up to Lily to rescue Chrys and show him that even though they may squabble, she still loves him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/156fe71b-143a-46fb-b714-59a6ffff1164/blossom+tales+8.PNG All Posts - Blossom Tales II: A Heartwarming RPG Adventure with Classic Zelda-Inspired Gameplay The story is a little thin, although the message is relatable - as long as you have siblings! But the overall narration of the story being told by the Grandfather is something I enjoyed across both Blossom Tales games. I really enjoyed the interruptions to the story from Lily, Chrys or the Grandfather discussing or debating plot lines. I’d have liked a lot more of this as it really added originality and character, but it almost completely disappeared from the first third of the game onwards. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/8ba33550-6bbb-4081-91b1-e02b9cfb6cea/blossom+tales+5.PNG All Posts - Blossom Tales II: A Heartwarming RPG Adventure with Classic Zelda-Inspired Gameplay There are many weapons to find and use from lanterns to bombs, boomerangs to teleporters each with their own use for specific types of puzzles. Some can be upgraded to better versions of themselves, but overall they are easy and fun to use, they’re satisfying and you feel the impact. It can be a little annoying towards the end of the game having to switch between the various items to complete puzzles, but the variety is nice and adds an extra layer of challenge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/607c0c9d-26f7-4f85-9283-aaf656388d29/blossom+tales+7.PNG All Posts - Blossom Tales II: A Heartwarming RPG Adventure with Classic Zelda-Inspired Gameplay Travelling around the map you’ll encounter caves where you will need to battle monsters and solve puzzles to win chests, shrines to unlock heart pieces and energy crystals to improve your stamina and health. Each area has it’s own monsters to defeat for coins or materials to be used in potions or traded for items. There’s also spots to fish, holes to dig and chests to find. There are a variety of different puzzle styles but they’re not overly challenging, I could usually solve them with a couple of attempts and the required item/weapon. I can find too many puzzles a little tedious but they’re usually quite fast moving and you can progress afterwards to a battle or a chest, making the game not feel drawn out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/ff6e4f8a-bc09-4177-9239-5c87d0fb98ae/blossom+tales+3.PNG All Posts - Blossom Tales II: A Heartwarming RPG Adventure with Classic Zelda-Inspired Gameplay The game has a bright and colourful pixelated style that is genuinely charming. Each area has a unique design and it’s own monsters, plants and characters that fit to the design of each area. It’s very satisfying to enter a new area and see all the little features of the area. The monsters aren’t anything hugely original, but as the game is visually a love letter to early top down Zelda games, it is mimicking the designs in homage. While it’s nice to feel the nostaligia of certain characters similarity to other top down RPGs, it does remove a certain level of originality for the game. The music is lovely though, I’m especially a fan of the music in the witches houses and each area has it’s own music to help submerge you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/2663a3c5-b519-4bf5-9489-d2789d1dc0fb/blossom+tales+4.PNG All Posts - Blossom Tales II: A Heartwarming RPG Adventure with Classic Zelda-Inspired Gameplay - The story can be completed in around 8 hours but for completionists there is around 18 hours of gameplay to get out of Blossom Tales II. There are 5 songs to unlock, side quests delivering letters or helping villagers, collecting all fish and flowers, planting seeds and finding honeycombs, each giving you prizes to help you progress more easily in the game. I found it quite easy to find all items and I completed areas as I had the new items to unlock them so I completed as much as I could while playing the story, which personally I found benficial to the progression, but I was a little overpowered by the end. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/alba-a-wildlife-adventure-review monthly 0.5 2025-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/e8e830aa-12ec-42cc-ba27-fe94e737ab2d/Alba+header.PNG All Posts - Alba: A Wildlife Adventure Review: Help Protect Wildlife in this Cozy, Relaxing Game https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/4fc77acc-ef1f-45fb-a7a6-b5db1a49f961/alba+1.PNG All Posts - Alba: A Wildlife Adventure Review: Help Protect Wildlife in this Cozy, Relaxing Game Alba’s wildlife adventure begins with a visit to her Grandparent’s as a toddler, wandering around the beach taking photos with her Grandfather’s camera.

The tasks pop up as texts intermittently and gently guide you to new areas, however the pacing of the game allows you to explore at your own speed. I didn’t feel rushed at any point in the game which was a really nice experience, so I could get fully submerged in the world and story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/8470a56d-4c8e-4c52-b165-b407d71ce253/alba+7.PNG All Posts - Alba: A Wildlife Adventure Review: Help Protect Wildlife in this Cozy, Relaxing Game - There are animals around every corner to photograph and complete your Wildlife guide, and across 8 different biomes there are different animals living in each habitat.

You see her struggles as a woman growing up in the 1800s and the pressures society has placed on her, as well as the limitations she has had to face in her career. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/c1f1833b-dea3-4376-9605-ae59f3977deb/botany+manor+7.PNG All Posts - Botany Manor Review: Solve Puzzles and Cultivate Plants in This Relaxing Gardening Game Despite this, Arabella appears to be very comfortable in her choices in an “unusual” lifestyle for women at the time, and has achieved many great feats that others would not. The plants in the game are magical, so there is a hint of unrealism within the realism which is a subtle but well executed balance. While you never see a character, or hear Arabella speak, you do get some hints of her personality through her letters to give n idea of the type of character she is. Continuing the story to the end gives a satisfying conclusion to Arabella’s career. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/15ddded7-a8ef-413b-bf43-ba4242462143/botany+manor+6.PNG All Posts - Botany Manor Review: Solve Puzzles and Cultivate Plants in This Relaxing Gardening Game The aim of the game is to find unlock different areas to reveal new seeds to grow into the forgotten fauna and use clues in those areas to solve the how to get the flowers to bloom. Botany Manor is a point and click puzzle game so each room you walk into there will be an indicator of a clue to click on to solve the puzzle and have the flower bloom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/8b0a0248-d08a-4ea6-90f9-c625081014de/botany+manor+10.PNG All Posts - Botany Manor Review: Solve Puzzles and Cultivate Plants in This Relaxing Gardening Game The methods to bloom the flowers are quite imaginitive and get more fantastical as the game progresses. It could be certain temperatures, to weathers, to times of the day and even changing the colour of the flower by adding elements to the soil. The puzzles themselves are simple enough, once you collect all the clues for that flower it’s fairly straightforward to work out how to bloom them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/772b8da1-33de-4ac1-a9df-351aa58c8199/botany+manor+5.PNG All Posts - Botany Manor Review: Solve Puzzles and Cultivate Plants in This Relaxing Gardening Game - As you explore the manor and it’s gardens you pick up a variety of clues to fill out your Herbarium. This I felt was a place for improvement, as once the clue is logged in the book you are unable to view the clue within your book. You do get a very brief description of the clue, but if you need more detail you have to return to the clue itself, which can be frustrating going forwards and backwards across the map. However there is a good amount of satisfaction seeing the clues fill up, and when you are researching multiple flowers at once it’s a good challenge to try and work out which flower some of the trickier clues apply to. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/b0f81fcc-0179-4151-a1a9-017db3dab14b/botany+manor+4.PNG All Posts - Botany Manor Review: Solve Puzzles and Cultivate Plants in This Relaxing Gardening Game - I really struggle with motion sickness from video games so I was wary of playing Botany Manor due to it’s first person perspective. I was really impressed with the accessibility settings in this game to avoid this, with lots of settings that can be customised and recommendations to which settings may help with reducing motion sickness. I wouldn’t have been able to play this game at all without these settings so this was a great addition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/ff643b5e-17e5-4b87-b41b-22a599cbfd59/botany+manor+8.PNG All Posts - Botany Manor Review: Solve Puzzles and Cultivate Plants in This Relaxing Gardening Game The graphics are very bright and distinct, and the sprawling map and little pathways were enjoyable to explore. Oddly, I did feel like the garden could have used a lot more flowers, which wasn’t something I expected this game to be lacking in. The rooms were well filled and it was easy to spot a clue quickly. The game is pretty and there’s a nice amount of detail overall, and I did enjoy exploring all the different areas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/28be6757-8d14-48c8-90f4-1a542411fd75/Botany+manor+11.PNG All Posts - Botany Manor Review: Solve Puzzles and Cultivate Plants in This Relaxing Gardening Game - Unfortunately the game is disappointingly short, it can be completed within 4 hours. Thankfully for me it was on GamePass but I would have been a little annoyed at paying full price for this for only 4 hours of gameplay. Once the game is over you’re not able to go back to previous areas without removing your progress which was also a little disappointing. The map of the area was large enough to easily have had more flowers and clues. The 4 hours were very enjoyable, but I probably wouldn’t replay this game purely because I’d know the puzzle solutions. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/may-2024-new-cozy-game-releases monthly 0.5 2025-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/0adcf7f2-1249-4230-91ff-352cdad1e3c9/header.jpg All Posts - Cozy Games Released this May 2024!

Playing as Crow, a reaper of dead souls, you report to work every day, receive an assignment, and set out through one of the portal doors to reap your soul. You are warned that not returning with your assigned soul will result in being trapped and unable to return to the Soul’s Vault. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/19d51b42-cada-4206-ac04-e8a07f834c3b/deathsdoor2.PNG All Posts - Death’s Door Review: A Souls-Like Adventure with Challenging Combat in a Dark Yet Striking World Once you travel through your door to reap your assigned soul, this is stolen and you must track down and reap the souls of 3 tyrants that have been evading death themselves. The story is thoughtful and engaging, I was intrigued throughout about where the plot was going and what the outcome was going to be for Crow, along with unearthing the secrets of the world to find out the true role of the crows and why the system has been set as it is. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/b0ea9165-cfc1-4ef5-811a-c4cdc53f3323/deathsdoor5.PNG All Posts - Death’s Door Review: A Souls-Like Adventure with Challenging Combat in a Dark Yet Striking World One of the strongest enjoyble elements of Death’s Door is the smoothness of the movement. Crow glides around the areas and the weapons slash and shoot satisfyingly clean. The roll to avoid attacks reacts well, making each battle feel acheivable, even if they are challenging. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/99964f94-63cc-4d21-bd31-1edf3036be06/deathsdoor9.PNG All Posts - Death’s Door Review: A Souls-Like Adventure with Challenging Combat in a Dark Yet Striking World Each beast has it’s own patterns to watch for and use an attack accordingly. This element means that the use of different weapons for each monster is crucial, which over time allows for more practice and improvement. They are challenging battles, especially once you get to each boss, and expect many deaths along the way! Each kill gives you reaped souls, which works as currency for your ability upgrades. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/27d2fa2b-f928-4a9b-8586-dc1451eda3d3/deathsdoor3.PNG All Posts - Death’s Door Review: A Souls-Like Adventure with Challenging Combat in a Dark Yet Striking World - Along with multiple weapons to find and powers to unlock,you can also speak to the Vault Keeper in the Souls Vault to find upgrades available for your abilities, Strength, Dexterity, Haste and Magic, paying with your reaped souls. Each will increase your ability to improve your chances in battle, from raising the damage on a weapon to raising the speed of ranged attacks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/61065d85-692b-4629-812f-2856e2fde0da/deathsdoor8.PNG All Posts - Death’s Door Review: A Souls-Like Adventure with Challenging Combat in a Dark Yet Striking World I found Death’s Door’s visuals truly delightful. Although at first look the lands are rather bleak, you soon start to recognise the detail specific to each of the areas to make charming worlds. Each area has it’s own unique style, but all are crisp and well filled. I really enjoyed the starkness of the sharp black and white of Souls Vault to then then a more colourful forest area. The design of the weapons in an almost neon pink, blue or green slices through the dark tone of the visuals to make a satisfying contrast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/9d66323e-7ad4-478c-ba43-c8f2d5e8d7f3/deathsdoor6.PNG All Posts - Death’s Door Review: A Souls-Like Adventure with Challenging Combat in a Dark Yet Striking World - The game’s main story can be completed in around 10 hours, and for completionists looking to find every shiny thing and unlock every temple, theres around 15 hours of gameplay. All of this of course depends on your adeptness to the battles and how many deaths you incur on yourself. There’s not much replayability, but the story is full and rich which would encourage me to play the game again at a later date, even if just to experience the smooth controls and battles. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/stardew-valley-1-6-update-xb7p4 monthly 0.5 2025-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/62c5fcca-0685-4996-a02a-a87de71170d9/Indie-World-Showcase-April-2023-1853941355.jpg All Posts - Nintendo Indie World Showcase April 2024: All Announcements - Make it stand out The latest Indie World Showcase held 17th April 2024 https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/sticky-business-review monthly 0.5 2025-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/cfb8e606-498b-4b8e-89a5-049298bc600b/capsule_616x353.jpg All Posts - Sticky Business: Manage a Sticky Situation in this Addictive Business Simulation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/4b3c5245-1d1e-40f3-8ee1-af4bf6bc0575/sticky1.PNG All Posts - Sticky Business: Manage a Sticky Situation in this Addictive Business Simulation Sticky Business works as a management simulation where you run your own sticker making company.

Each customer has a unique little story that will build the more orders they place. These stories are quite heartwarming and charming, and the conclusion usually plays out with the stickers having a positive impact on their lives and turning points in their stories. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/394c76ed-61f1-46ff-a05c-e0f8a3e509c4/sticky5.PNG All Posts - Sticky Business: Manage a Sticky Situation in this Addictive Business Simulation - The days are quite short, although this can be modified in the settings. You can usually get through a handful of orders, ship them to the post office and get a new design in each day in the beginning. This does increase in difficulty as time goes on and your orders increase. You’ll also earn XP as well as coins with each order to give you the ability to buy more sticker elements and treats for your customers, which will in turn generate more XP. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/aa02a4fc-cd72-4360-81d9-8ee23a2407bd/sticky6.PNG All Posts - Sticky Business: Manage a Sticky Situation in this Addictive Business Simulation The game isn’t complex, although that doesn’t mean it’s not detailed. There is around 100 elements that you can mix and match to create new and unique designs. Playing this on the switch, I found that the analogue stick didn’t really help for precision of placement. This would be much better on the PC version using a mouse. I was impressed by the smoothness of the placement, there is no gridlines lock so you can place wherever you like. I was also pleased to see extra layout features, making elements bigger or smaller, rotating them, flipping them and managing layers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/1407d8b6-5db6-4a15-98a8-0cc74785e923/sticky7.PNG All Posts - Sticky Business: Manage a Sticky Situation in this Addictive Business Simulation As different stickers attract different customers, you need to listen to the customer’s comments to try and make stickers they’ll enjoy and want to buy. You’ll recieve hints and requests in their comments from “I really need plant stickers” to “More Dinosaur Stickers!”. This adds a small amount of challenge, as you won’t get very far filling your shop with only one type of sticker. I did feel there were some technical elements that could be improved. It would have been helpful if when a customer story has been completed you we’re given an indication that it is complete on your inbox, crossing it out maybe or moving it to the bottom of the list. I did find myself having to repeatedly go into each of the characters stories to find one that had not yet been completed. Some stats on number of packages sent or most popular stickers would have also been nice to see how I was progressing through the game. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/fbae4ddd-be83-40c8-b761-3933c030609b/sticky2.PNG All Posts - Sticky Business: Manage a Sticky Situation in this Addictive Business Simulation While not an enormous amount of options for sticker upgrades, what is there is simple but done well. The designs are cute graphics, quite kawaii styled, with a good mix of themes, from animals, to musical instruments to seasonal christmas themed styles. The styles between the packs do suit and fit well with each other. I was very pleased with them visually and with the text options allowed to make unique designs that look like they go together, rather than mashing random objects on top of each other and everything looks disjointed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/8664d81b-39f5-41b6-a01a-2c1d339d5777/Sticky3.PNG All Posts - Sticky Business: Manage a Sticky Situation in this Addictive Business Simulation - The options to pack your stickers get more creative the more you unlock too, which I thought was a nice edition. You can unlock new papers, fillers and goodies for your customers, from chocolate bars to notebooks, and in return you’ll recieve a percentage increase in your XP. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/f5de640b-bccc-44d5-b2b4-2323301096b7/sticky4.PNG All Posts - Sticky Business: Manage a Sticky Situation in this Addictive Business Simulation - The game can be completed in around 8 hours. To complete the game, you must complete all the stories with the customers. Then for completionists, it would be all about collecting the remaining upgrades and sticker elements. It is a simple idea played out very well, but any longer than 10 hours I imagine the game would feel quite repetitive. I also struggled to get a gauge on what promped 10 order days compared to a 3 order day, and it felt like the more customer stories I completed the less often those 10 order days appeared. This could get frustrating if you were looking to increase your daily income overtime to unlock all the upgrades. There is DLC available for the game, which offers glitter and hologram papers to print your stickers on which are really charming. Additionally the DLC offers new customer stories which adds some more time to the game. It wouldn’t surprise me to see extra DLC of new sticker packs and customer stories in time, as it would be quite easy to pick the game back up after a while just to play with the DLC. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/april-2024-new-cozy-game-releases monthly 0.5 2025-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/db1f421e-1b33-47cd-aa4b-ee2f61b265b8/2x1_NSwitchDS_BotanyManor_image1280w-1986049244.jpg All Posts - New Cozy Games Released April 2024 Release Date: 9th April 2024 Available on: Steam, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Cost: €22.49 or Included in Xbox Gamepass It’s 1890, and you are Arabella Greene, a retired botanist that has just inherited a Somerset Manor in the English Countryside.

Transformations Ranked Detective Peach uses her magnifying glass to search for clues and gather evidence from witnesses to solve puzzles within a crime scene, to find a painting thief, or even stop a bomb! Unfortunately, I found these levels quite tedious. The puzzles we’re quite simple, the “Strike of Intuition” got repeititve and annoying after a while, and after the higher octane levels for me the Detective Peach levels just felt a bit flat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/7af42050-2868-499d-9797-341ab61e2cee/peach+swordfighter+2.PNG All Posts - Princess Peach: Showtime! Transformations Ranked Swordfighter Peach is who you call on to fight through enemies with combo slashes and can dodge and counter attacks. This is the first costume you encounter, and despite putting this at number 9, I did have a lot of fun playing with Swordmaster Peach. Timing the counter attacks is a satisfying challenge, however the I did feel like some of the other combat transformations we’re more inventive. It also took me way too long to finish the Swordflighter Peach rehearsal… but maybe that’s on me! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/916fe734-0459-4aa9-a965-13e5f058d995/peach+patisserie+2.PNG All Posts - Princess Peach: Showtime! Transformations Ranked Patisserie Peach does have some fun levels, baking cookes at just the right time to get hte perfect amount of cookie (more of them!) and icing cakes to sometimes quite intricate designs while the cake spins. While the cakes look delicious, the levels themselves can be a little dry, and the timing elements of the baking and decorating can be a bit awkward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/8cfbf7c7-365c-4eb3-8e0d-d1473eb1f959/peach+ninja+2.PNG All Posts - Princess Peach: Showtime! Transformations Ranked Ninja Peach was a definite step up in something a bit different in combat compared to Swordmaster Peach. For starters, I did giggle to myself the first time I realised I could hide behind grass and disguise myself as a wall to escape the Sour gang. Wall jumping and executing surprise attacks were inventive additions, as well as travelling past enemies underwater using a bamboo stick as a snorkle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/aab60f64-9c60-42c7-8f3f-fd92b747f91f/peach+mermaid+2.PNG All Posts - Princess Peach: Showtime!

Transformations Ranked Dashing Thief Peach certainly has the most enjoyable music to her levels, making for a thrilling journey to sneakily jump from platform to platform, hide from spotlights, and use the hookshot to dart across and up the stage. Even more fun is hangliding throughout the level, soaring through the air, dodging enemies and collecting coins as she escapes the infiltrated lair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/50118d84-6c5b-4c75-b3be-d3dc1134b20e/peachkung+fu+2.PNG All Posts - Princess Peach: Showtime! Transformations Ranked Kung Fu Peach steps up the combat again with her martial arts skills, kicking and punching through enemies to reach the boss. Kung Fu Peach is even strong enough to kick down sets and destroy items which was good fun, and one combo punch can punch through multiple enemies at once. The best part about this transformation though is the spinning pole attack, spinning Peach around a pole to knock out all enemies around the pole with a spinning kick. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/0507e38f-9c9c-4796-b4b8-224c0a8d0080/peach+mighty+2.PNG All Posts - Princess Peach: Showtime! Transformations Ranked Mighty Peach is probably the most superhero like transformation in the game. Gain superhuman strength to defeat enemies and fly through the sky to take down alien spaceships. Mighty Peach was great fun to play with, picking up cars and hurling them at the Sour bunch to defeat them and get the Theets to safety. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/3cbdf524-69c5-4778-896b-db1b7d9ea239/peach+cowgirl+2.PNG All Posts - Princess Peach: Showtime! Transformations Ranked Narrowly missing out on the top spot is Cowgirl Peach. I loved these levels, using your lasso to save Theets and grab and throw enemies, and even grab barrels and other items to throw at the Sour gang to take them down. The best part of Cowgirl Peach is the horseriding sections which are like high speed chases, lassoing grapes and saving Theets along the way while steering your horse away from obstacles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/0f761b53-f01d-450e-b105-f76c8cdd470d/peach+ice+2.PNG All Posts - Princess Peach: Showtime! Transformations Ranked And the number one Princess Peach Transformation? Figure Skater Peach of course! I was delighted by these levels. While the gameplay is a little simplistic in comparison to other levels, the sheer pleasure of gliding smoothly around the ice and performing tricks, jumping and spinning on marks and running circles around enemies to defeat them. All the practice leads to a syncronised perfomance with your rescued Theets, which for me was the most enchanting part of the game. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/princess-peach-showtime-review monthly 0.5 2025-04-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/fbf16f57-9400-4c18-9d3a-e9db80070b43/2x1_NSwitch_PrincessPeachShowtime_image1600w.jpg All Posts - Princess Peach: Showtime! – Step into the Spotlight in This Playful, Platforming Adventure https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/764b5e09-792e-469d-a404-5cf03a2b7e9f/peach+detective.PNG All Posts - Princess Peach: Showtime! – Step into the Spotlight in This Playful, Platforming Adventure Princess Peach: Showtime! takes place in Sparkle Theatre within the Mushroom Kingdom. While Peach and a pair of toads plan to spend an afternoon watching live shows, the performances are disrupted by Grape and her wicked Sour Bunch, causing chaos in the theatre. Here it is up to Peach to defeat Grape and the gang with a variety of side scrolling levels from fighting aliens with Mighty Peach to baking cookies for ravenous gang members with Patissiere Peach. There are 10 different Peach personas each with their own special talents to succeed each level. Within each level are also coins to collect that can be used to purchase new dress patterns for Peach and new ribbon colours for Stella, was well as numerous Sparkle Gems to collect to unlock the boss door. Within each round of the theatre there are 4 or 5 levels each with a different Peach costume, and then a final boss to defeat and clear the theatre level to be open again to performances. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/c594465b-9da9-4d5b-be1d-1b6c12e24dd6/peach+boss.PNG All Posts - Princess Peach: Showtime! – Step into the Spotlight in This Playful, Platforming Adventure With 10 different styles of play from riding horses at highspeed to lasso enemies as Cowgirl Peach, to finding clues and solving puzzles of missing paintings as Detective Peach each style is imaginative and well thought out. I expected more explanation with how to play each style and was wary there would be hefty tutorials, however each style is well thought out allowing simplicity for ease of understanding the rules and mechanics of each style. The controls are smooth and work well with the changing level styles. A younger age range is definitely the intended audience for the game, the levels aren’t particularly challenging. Most enemies take one hit, and you play each level with 5 hearts, and if you choose to equip the Heart Charm this will raise your heart level to 8 meaning you can take up to 8 hits before being knocked down. I didn’t mind this as a feature, especially for younger audiences to have the option to decrease the difficulty with extra hearts, and for more advanced gamers they can just choose not to use it. The main challenge is for the completionists aiming to collect all Sparkle gems, but with 2 or 3 replays of each level even the most well hidden sparkle can be found quite easily. The bosses follow the similar 3 hit structure of most Mario games but each Peach persona has a different skill to beat the boss. There are also a few mini games, or rehearsals, which I have to admit I found quite addictive to complete, playing as Dashing Thief Peach to fly through the sky, avoid enemies, collect gems and win trophies and new dress styles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/628d5598-aa91-4577-ab62-fbba38400d19/peach+ice.PNG All Posts - Princess Peach: Showtime! – Step into the Spotlight in This Playful, Platforming Adventure Where Princess Peach: Showtime! shines is in the game design. Each of Peach’s unique costumes are vibrant and charming, while the level designs themselves are well themed and filled but background enough to allow Peach to be centre stage. I found myself excited to see what the next new costume would be, and each time I unlocked a new Peach persona I was sold. Figure Skater Peach was a particular treat of a level, and it was magical to skate Peach around the ice rink to dance with the other Theets to a sparkling performance to defeat the Sour Minions. I did find myself delighted by the little quirks of each character, and while I did enjoy some styles more than others, I thought all had originality, I picked up the mechanics quickly and it made for some really fun levels. A fun quirk with Ninja Peach was the ability to hide from enemies behind grass or swim underwater with a bamboo shoot as a snorkel to sneak past the Grape gang. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/67955a2b-5c5c-4fe6-bf91-d3d920905822/peach+mighty.PNG All Posts - Princess Peach: Showtime! – Step into the Spotlight in This Playful, Platforming Adventure The main story takes around 8 hours to complete, which I did find disappointingly short. However this does fall in line with other Mario titles taking ranging from 7-15 hours. There is replayability, it was rare I got all Sparkle gems on the first try. Unfortunately on replay of the levels there’s no option to skip dialogue, and when some of these levels run up to 10 minutes, this can be a bit tideous to replay the same Mermaid Peach song again just to get that one outstanding Sparkle gem. But once all collected, I can’t imagine there would be much of a draw to pick it up again, as most of the fun for me was unlocking the new Peach styles, and once that’s done, some of the sparkle is gone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/8b9b0e7e-bebf-4d8a-93fe-d899d9015100/peach+mermaid.PNG All Posts - Princess Peach: Showtime! – Step into the Spotlight in This Playful, Platforming Adventure - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/spirittea-review monthly 0.5 2025-04-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/4de1fcb8-90af-4502-a0ab-90e9041b5dae/header.jpg All Posts - SpiritTea Review: Manage a Bathhouse, and Bridge the Gap Between Spirits and Villagers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/970853d2-c466-4836-97ba-730106c66021/spirrittea+baths.JPG All Posts - SpiritTea Review: Manage a Bathhouse, and Bridge the Gap Between Spirits and Villagers The core aim of the game is to restore the spirit bath house to tend to the spirits that have become lost, as the humans have stopped worshipping, leaving gifts or even remembering them. The disgruntled spirits are then wreaking havok on the town, from stealing carrots, to smashing photos and even stopping the temple’s bell from ringing. Chat and befriend the towns people who will explain their individual problems, and it’s up to you with the help of Wonyan and your spirit view to find the spirits in question and solve their disputes. The spirits will then visit you in your bath house, where you can scrub and feed them to their happiness levels and increase your moolag to be able to buy upgrades for the bathhouse, expanding, adding features, buying furniture for your home or even to buy offerings for shrines. The story is delightful and unique, with witty dialogue. The story carries you quite well through the gameplay however when it comes to catching the spirits it doesn’t necessarily hand hold you, and the characters don’t offer a great deal in suggestions to solve the puzzles. While not impossible with a little extra thought, a little more direction may have been helpful to find some of the spirits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/3aa22134-99e4-46aa-a09b-18598b28ff42/spirrittea+shops.JPG All Posts - SpiritTea Review: Manage a Bathhouse, and Bridge the Gap Between Spirits and Villagers There are a variety of activities, minigames and puzzles to keep you busy in Spirittea. Firstly, in the bathhouse, you’ll need to wash, dry and lay out towels, assign spirits specifically to places in the baths that will make them most happy, and keep the fire burning to ensure the most enjoyable experience for your guests. The management sim style of this works very well, you’ll always have towels to stock up, a floor to sweep and a guest to welcome, and if you do it well you’ll be rewarded with a good amount of cash at the end of your shift. You’ll also have the opportunity to unlock your ability to view more spirits around the town the more guests you serve in the bathhouse! As time goes on and you get to know your neighbours better, you’ll also be able to hire them as help to scrub your guests, wash the towels and chop wood giving you the time to serve your guests quicker as well as cook them food to enhance their enjoyment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/2947f57a-3110-49a9-99a1-646b9dcf41cc/spirittea+chores.JPG All Posts - SpiritTea Review: Manage a Bathhouse, and Bridge the Gap Between Spirits and Villagers The map is filled with various shops to buy ingredients, recipes and even coffees, as well as the neighbours homes. The map helpfully shows where each townsperson is situated at that moment, which allows you to find and chat with exactly who you need to easily. There’s also some activity buildings where you can go for dinner, have a drink or even sing kareoke. As well as solving the townspeoples spirit dilemmas, you’ll also be able to hang out with them in unique (although quite challenging) mini games, such as fishing, cooking, drinking, karaoke, digging and bug catching. These activities will increase your friendship level with each member of the town, and offer some fun side challenges. The fishing minigame is a unique mechanic I’ve personally not seen before and I enjoyed the challenge. The Kareoke rhythm game is good fun and gets increasingly more difficult with each level. However the cooking mini game still has me quite puzzled on how to complete successfully. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/73c459e2-f785-4edf-b081-ea3394877671/spirittea+kareoke.JPG All Posts - SpiritTea Review: Manage a Bathhouse, and Bridge the Gap Between Spirits and Villagers - I didn’t have any difficulty with the controls and it was very easy to navigate between the map, notebook and guide when needed. Time does move when you are in the notebook/guide however so be wary of that. I would say that the minigames are a little challenging especially the kareoke and cooking. A better explanation of the mechanics for this may help, as well as a simplification of the mechanic, but for a game that is mostly quite simple to play the challenge may be enjoyable for some. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/defc8879-cd32-4c55-95a9-89819a62a745/outside.JPG All Posts - SpiritTea Review: Manage a Bathhouse, and Bridge the Gap Between Spirits and Villagers Spirittea has a charmingly simple and atmospheric design, often being described as themed by Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away. It achieves this quite successfully, with some beautiful areas within the game, but some areas can look a little sparse. The map does change with the seasons with different fish and bugs to collect and a seasonal theme every 30 days. The character customisation is a little limited although you can choose from different skin tones and outfit colours, albeit not many to choose from. The townsfolk are a little more creative in design but nothing overly exciting. However the real treat is unveiling a new spirit, which all have unique, interesting and fun designs you won’t have seen before. The shops and homes are quite well filled, not much is interactable but there is the odd object you can pick up (and steal…. but nobody has questioned me about it yet!) and add to your home. The options to decorate your home are quite minimal too, other than a few wallpapers, rugs and tables, along with sculptures and artwork your neighbours give you, there’s not much to fill your home with. You can cook in your home, and write your book, but other than that there’s not much else to do in there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/370a4f5a-d809-4aec-8bbe-7730ab604127/shop.JPG All Posts - SpiritTea Review: Manage a Bathhouse, and Bridge the Gap Between Spirits and Villagers - The feel of the game is very atmospheric and you feel the changes in the seasons and different weather styles. This is done very well in the game and helps to get immersed into the cozy gameplay. The music is fun and changes with the setting, time of day and season, which really helps to focus the mood of each activity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/a2aefc34-adf1-472e-8c63-9442e3a07956/spirittea+spirit+reveal.JPG All Posts - SpiritTea Review: Manage a Bathhouse, and Bridge the Gap Between Spirits and Villagers The game runs by day and over multiple seasons, and like most life sims you have to complete your tasks within a day and keep an eye on your energy bar, making sure you have enough time to get to bed to rest. However I would say this game gives you a lot more time in the day than the average life sim. For example, for myself I played 10 hours before getting into the next season. There are 10 bugs and 10 fish to collect each season, as well as 50 treasures to find, 6 kareoke songs to complete and 4 shrines to fill with gifts. There’s plenty to collect and fill over the in game year, and 40 spirits to find which could easily span into the second year of gameplay. There’s extra areas to unlock, including a mountainous area with a hiking trail and bath you can visit with your townsfolk, as well as an area you can reach via the bus stop once you complete your book. The main story takes around 40 hours to complete, and for completionists around 60 hours to collect all fish, bugs, spirits and complete all tasks. This is great value for a €20 game, and it does look like there’s possibility for DLC in the future. https://www.peapodgirlgaming.com/blog/march-2024-new-cozy-game-releases monthly 0.5 2025-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6aa131cd23a122a447614/69109b5f-16e5-4f07-8d1d-e1670b9dcfb4/header.jpg All Posts - New Cozy Games Released March 2024 Release Date: 7th March 2024 Available on: Steam, Nintendo Switch Cost: €19.99 Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley transports us back to the world of the Moomins in a story rich musical adventure game.
