The tagline of “cozy farming adventure on the high seas with an adorable animal companion” is enough to get me very intrigued by a game, and developer VoodooDuck had to know they had a great idea when designing Collector’s Cove, because that’s one heck of a premise. I’ve spent quite a few nights now enjoying the lapping waves on my boat as I fished for new surprising catches, sprouted tons of fun crops, and outfitted my animal-carried boat with a productive set of machinery, trees, storage boxes galore, and lots more. That’s before even mentioning the new friendly merchants I met that are definitely not all the same person with different clothing. Truly, Collector’s Cove was like a pleasant bedtime tea; not overly in-your-face, and nothing too extravagant, but hits the right spot when you want exactly what it provides.

Going beyond just a simple hotel simulator, Hotel Galactic invites its players into a role filled with mystery, management, and a multitude of tasks to complete to build up a rundown intergalactic hotel into a bustling, beautiful hub of life and hospitality that tourists from across the galaxy visit to feel renewed, well fed, and taken care of. To accomplish this, developer Ancient Forge has employed the use of nostalgic anime-styled visuals, a hefty helping of unlockable and satisfying gameplay elements, and well-tuned audio accouterments to compliment it all. Through its bumpy beginnings, Hotel Galactic manages to set sail and take you on a trip that you’ll gladly continue revisiting.

The 80’s was an era of some incredible memories. We had the birth of many amazing horror films, we saw the rise of heavy metal, and video games really started to take off. As a child of the 90’s, I missed out on many classics from that era, so I’m thankful many publishers and developers are bringing many of these titles to modern systems either with new collections or remakes. However, that doesn’t mean all the games from that time were pieces of art and, sadly, The Monty Mole Collection is one such case. Originally developed by Gremlin Graphics for the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64, this collection includes the original trilogy of Wanted: Monty Mole, Monty On The Run, and Auf Wiedersehen Monty, along with three bonus games by the names of Monty Is Innocent, Sam Stoat: Safebreaker, and Moley Christmas (which was given away as a free games in copies of Your Sinclair magazines back in the day). Now, while it’s always awesome to see older games make a comeback and I’m all for game preservation, that doesn’t mean that every game aged well and this is one of those cases.

Before I came across Demon Tides, I was unfamiliar with developer Fabraz and their brand of slick, colorful action platforming and exploration that they established with the first two games in their “Demon Turf” series. But after spending some time in their newest game, I can confidently say I’m addicted to it wholeheartedly. This bodes well for the fate of Bubsy 4D, the next game on the horizon from this developer. First though, we get this gem of a title that is absolutely bursting with content, charisma, and charm. Demon Tides grabs you by the fashionable collar and pulls you furiously across vast water zones in search of more and more answers and collectibles, with a healthy dose of narrative along the way.

What happens when you combine archeology, puzzle-solving and hamsters? You get Hamstermind, the adorable puzzle game by indie dev Righteous Tree. Solve puzzles and dive deeper into a mysterious pyramid in search of treasure. The premise has just enough going for it to keep you intrigued and the puzzles themselves are actually pretty relaxing and cozy. I wasn’t ever bored in my time with Hamstermind. It’s not revolutionizing the puzzle solver genre but it also doesn’t need to.
