Terraria is an addictive, systems-heavy, 2D sandbox-survival game that offers exploration, crafting, and combat, where you must defeat enemies and gather resources to build increasingly powerful weapons, armor and housing for NPCs. With pixelated visuals, great controls, and sound, Terraria provides hours of entertainment and is a must-have for Minecraft fans looking for something different in this genre.


What we like:
  • Addictive gameplay
  • Pixelated 2D sprites that are beautifully designed
  • Complex systems-heavy gameplay
  • The game has a purpose to serve with the housing of NPCs
  • Great and responsive controls
What could be improved:
  • The game has too many shortcuts and menus, which may overwhelm new players
  • Not a lot of screen space on small touch-screen devices

Square Valley is a unique and satisfying city-building puzzle game where you play as the Spirit of the Valley tasked with building lands for your citizens. The game offers a narrative-driven experience with lovely visuals and chill music. Each tile on the board has specific requirements that players need to pay attention to, adding a deep strategic thinking element to the game. Despite the focus on fulfilling requirements rather than building a particular aesthetic, Square Valley puts a creative spin on a tired genre, making it a highly compelling puzzle game that is well worth checking out.


What we like:
  • Deep strategic thinking element
  • Narrative-driven experience
  • Lovely visuals
  • Chill music
  • Satisfying gameplay
What could be improved:
  • No session suspension or save feature
  • Some building features such as walls and rivers are not entirely clear on how to 'paint' them onto the map
  • More focused on fulfilling requirements than building a particular aesthetic
