The Last Case of Benedict Fox
Sadly not about actual foxes, but a very compelling detective metroidvania nontheless! Though this game isn’t for the faint of heart, it’s not a horror game, but it is incredibly lovecraftian. Lots of creepy locales and tentacles amongst the stuff that wants to kill you, oh and if you’re arachnophobic, you might wanna hold off…

Grow: Song of the Evertree
Another life sim, but this one is about gardening. You’re the last of the Everheart Alchemists, a young apprentice trying to figure out if it’s even possible to beat back the Withering that’s destroyed the precious Evertree and silenced the Song of Myora, and after many years of experementing with your trusty partners Book and…

Dinkum
Animal Crossing meets Stardew Valley except its on an island in Australia. What more could you want to be honest. Move out of the city with a sweet old woman named Fletch to try and start your own little town on a tropical island, and invite new residents to expand your town during the course…

Turing Complete
This game has consumed my entire life and has converted me into a hardware geek instead of a software one. Send help. Turing Complete is a surprisingly competent logic simulation model and game, where you start with nothing but a couple of basic gates, like NAND and NOR, and build your way up to a…

Cracking The Cryptic
Sudoku. I’m surprised I haven’t posted any of these yet (other than Simon Tatham’s Puzzles, I suppose.) This is basically an almost complete mobile version of Sven’s SudokuPad (Steam, Web) and it does a really good job at all the stuff that you need to tackle really tricky puzzles. While this specific app doesn’t allow…

Hi-Fi Rush
Rhythm game? Hell yeah! Wait, spectacle fighter hybrid? I never would have guessed this combination would exist. So you’re a rockstar with a busted up arm, and go get it replaced with a robot arm so that you can shred guitar. Except shit gets wild and suddenly you’re wanted by every damn security robot on…

Toem
Super cute game about adventuring around several locations and helping people to collect stamps and make progress. Huh, that sounds familliar… Oh but in this one your primary mode of interaction is with your fancy camera that comes with an optical zoom!

Lucifer Within Us
A short little point and click detective mystery game set in a sci-fi futuristic world. You play as a Digital Exorcist trying to solve three increasingly complicated murders. There aren’t any interrogation minigames, quick time events, or required decisions, leaving you with quite an open detective system based on listening to testimony, gathering evidence, and…

RAVON
Back into my mobile rhythm games folder, RAVON is a game where you have 15 (or 24) square inputs on the screen, and notes will move towards one of those squares where you have to tap them to pick them up. Sounds a lot like a certain other square grid based rhythm game, but unlike…

Buck Up And Drive
If you’ve ever played classic sega racing games like OutRun or Super Hang On, this will be right up your alley. It’s a back to form classic rally racing game, except this one comes packaged with a huge massive important DRIFT button, and quarter circle bullshit.

Sky Factory 4
So Minecraft, amirite? I did say I’d do one of these eventually, but I don’t really know how to tag or categorise it, so uhhhh, time for a ‘Mods’ category, I suppose. Anyway, you’ll need Minecraft for this one, of course. Skyblock is a genre of map/modpack where you start from a tree on a…

Zachtronics Solitaire Collection
I’ve talked about several minesweeper games, but time for a twist, Solitaire. 8 of them, in fact. All with their own theme and twists. You might have played some of these variants if you’ve ever played a Zachtronics game, but if there are any you’ve missed, you’ll want to pick this game up.
