UMAMI is a simple game idea executed perfectly. You put back together deliciously crafted wooden food puzzles that have been scattered across colorful culinary canvases, complete with adorably fluffy furry animal characters throughout. Each level provides its own theme and foodstuff, like a bee-topped honey waffles stack, or a lovey-dovey bear cake, or a garden vibes bunny baked beauty, just to name a few of the 15 puzzle environments. I was easily whisked away into the cozy cooked comforts with a calming soundtrack, fun little tactile interactions throughout the artfully crafted dishes, and lack of stressful goals like timers or mistake counters. UMAMI is truly about sitting down for a sense-satisfying session of blissful no-stress puzzle solving.

If you’re like me, you probably grew up with a Game Boy Color back in the day and poured hours into 8-bit adventures. I fondly remember my time with games like Dragon Quest IV, Oracle of Ages and a few others. Back in those days, the technology wasn’t very sophisticated, so game design was much simpler and exploration wasn’t guided by nav points. It’s that kind of nostalgia that Doki Monsters Quest chooses to invoke. Memories of bygone days where game mechanics were explained in booklets rather than in the game itself. This philosophy of old meets new works to both Doki Monsters benefit and its deficit.

The world inside the indie hit BROK the InvestiGator has more to give, as solo developer COWCAT (Breton Fabrice) brings the new standalone title BROK: The Brawl Bar to consoles and PC. The Brawl Bar is a wild party beat ‘em up that features over 60 varied and surprising arcade-style “Event matches” (à la Smash Bros) that range from easy to difficult to complete. Throughout your pursuit of knocking out all of these challenges, you’ll get to know a few of the patrons and staff in this “brawl bar” you find yourself drawn to as you try and rekindle those fighting flames your gator-y self used to love sparking. Though I took my lickings in some of the harder stages, BROK: The Brawl Bar was an exciting game to punch, kick, and finesse my way through.

Let me start this review by saying that I’m really not the biggest fan of the Jurassic Park franchise. I’ve read the first book back in middle school and seen some of the first Jurassic Park at a young age but that’s about it. Truthfully, the first film kinda freaked me out at that young age and scared me to the point where I won’t even watch the series at all (Silly, I know). I also haven’t really kept up with the gaming side of the franchise, but occasionally one does enter my radar. Which is where Jurassic World Evolution 3 comes in: The third entry in the park building Evolution series. I do want to stress that I’ll be approaching this review as a casual park builder player so I won’t be going too in-depth with what’s on offer. With that being said, this is a fun game but it has some issues that I feel may hurt the enjoyment for many casual gamers.

There can never be enough cooking games, and Abra-Cooking-Dabra, the newest gaming foray by developer Door 407, helps prove that theory. You’re whisked away to a mysterious new restaurant in London, where you must help an eccentric suave cat serve any customer that strolls up to your establishment. What makes this game different is the methods and challenges you’ll face along the way, all whilst using a card-based cooking system to make and serve meals. It’s as wild and weird as it sounds, and yet feels neatly crafted and comfy in execution, requiring harvesting all of your forethought and planning to perfect it.
