ReStory: I was that guy everyone brings their broken things to, and this game just sent me twenty years back

Running a repair shop in mid-2000s Tokyo. A game that speaks to anyone who has ever been mistaken for an electronics wizard.

Sovereign Tower: ruling over a Round Table of incompetents, and rewinding time whenever it goes wrong

Recruit unmanageable knights, referee their egos, balance five factions and the Treasury. And rewind fate as many times as it takes.

Spiritstead: we farmed FarmVille through our student years, and this one removes precisely what used to drag us back

Gorgeous Miyazaki-inspired art, spirits that automate the village, and an owned 6 to 8 hours. The exact opposite of timer-driven farming.

The Syndicate Classified Operations: no, you play neither the CIA nor the KGB, and that is worse for your sleeping hours

A Cold War incremental where you build your own spy network city by city. Made by one person, and built for sleepless nights.

Akatori: I fell in love with a backdrop before I even understood the game

A 2.5D metroidvania where pixel sprites move through hand-painted scenery. The art direction reeled me in, the staff kept me there.

Fields of Mistria: two years of early access later, the 1.0 took me hostage all over again

A pastel pixel-art Stardew Valley that pushes cuteness to indecent levels. I thought I was immune. It got me by the first spring.

Kill the Shadow: a detective who rewinds time in a neon-soaked noir city

A pixel-noir investigation in a post-war city split in two, with a notebook, Chinese neon in the rain and the power to rewind time.

Big Walk: I lost my best friend in a giant bush, and it was my best co-op moment of the year

The Untitled Goose Game creators are back, and this time you do not cause mischief alone: you get lost together in the wild, and it is wonderful.

Korea. IL-2 Series: I dusted off my old War Thunder reflexes to climb back into a Soviet cockpit

3000 hours of War Thunder in sim mode later, I reopen a red-star cockpit. Airliner sims bore me, air combat wakes me up, and this one is a treat.
