This game was gifted to me by Adam1224 from PoP Secret Santa.

Pawsome Hidden Cats – Kittynawa is a really cozy little hidden object game and just nice to relax with. I love the color palette in this one, it’s soft and warm and fits the cat theme perfectly. The music is also great and makes searching for cats feel calm rather than stressful.

I’ve played the developer’s other hidden cat games before, and this one feels like a clear improvement. The artwork looks better, everything is easier to read, and the puzzles flow more smoothly. My only real complaint is the lack of a hint feature, which can get a bit frustrating when you’re stuck. Still, if you enjoy chill hidden object games and cats, this one is definitely worth playing.

This one caught me off guard in a good way. It’s not the usual low-effort adult VN that just exists for the NSFW scenes, there’s actually some solid writing here, and I ended up genuinely enjoying the stories themselves. The spicy content is there, sure, but it doesn’t feel like the only thing the game has going for it.

There are a few translation mistakes and the occasional missing word, which can be a little noticeable, but nothing that ruined the experience for me. If you’re into match-3 gameplay, furry characters, and adult games that put in more effort than expected, this is definitely worth checking out.

Rusty’s Retirement is a really cute concept for an idle game. It sits at the bottom of your screen while you do other things, slowly farming away in the background. It’s relaxing and low-pressure, and I genuinely enjoyed having it running while I worked or browsed.

That said, it’s not quite the perfect idle experience. The “idle” mechanics don’t always work as smoothly as I’d hoped, and you can’t upgrade certain parts of the process — only the bots. Once you pick a farm layout, you’re locked in, and buildings or animals can’t be removed after placing them, which feels surprisingly restrictive. On top of that, several achievements require starting completely new saves multiple times, which can feel a bit tedious.

Even with those frustrations, I still had a good time and ended up 100% completing it. It’s charming, cozy, and satisfying in its own way — just not my favorite idle game out there.

25/25 (100%), 859.6 hours

This game was gifted to me by Kyog from PoP Secret Santa.

Chonkers is a super cute idle creature collector where you raise cats and watch them grow up into either normal adults or absolute units. The cats are absolutely the best part, there’s a great variety of designs, and it’s always fun seeing what breed your next purchase turns into. It also has daily tasks and even Steam Marketplace items you can collect and sell, which adds a bit of extra motivation to check in daily.

That said, the charm wears off faster than I expected. The gameplay loop gets repetitive pretty quickly, and there are some noticeable balancing issues. Completing the full collection relies heavily on RNG, so if you’re unlucky, you could be looking at hundreds of hours to 100% it, which would be fine if the progression was more balanced. I enjoyed my time with it, especially early on, but it definitely becomes more grind than cozy after a while. Still, I think it's worth the amount it's sold at and def worth to check out if you enjoy such games.

March Assassination #2 (SG Win / PoP Pick)

14.3 hours
21/21

Please consider liking my review on Steam - it means a lot to me!

When I first booted Garden Story, I got the impression it would be a pretty average, generic little game. And while I'm not completely wrong, it turned out to have a lot more charm than I anticipated.

The basic gameplay loop of Garden Story is a mix of exploration, combat and resource-gathering. You use these resources to improve your village, which in turn unlocks better tools that make combat and resource-gathering more efficient. And it's in this interplay that you'll get hooked. At first you are overwhelmed by the amount of resources, the difficulty of the combat, and the number of locations available to you. Slowly, it all becomes familiar and trivial, and by the time you're getting used to your surroundings, the plot forces you to go to the next village and restart the process from scratch. It's a surprisingly effective loop, and I blazed through the game in a few days while having a lot of fun.

None of these gameplay modes is particularly deep. Resource gathering is mostly using the right tool at the right object, sleep for the object to respawn, repeat. Backpack and storage limits prevent you from doing too well here and forces you to keep coming back for more. Exploration is fun at first, but once you've mapped the areas, it is mostly gone, but the game gates you out of enough areas that you always have a new carrot to pursue. Combat is simple, but different enemies require different tools to deal with and prevent you from zoning out. The use of estus flask for healing and staming management give the whole thing a Souls-lite flavor, and some bosses can even be difficult the first time around.

There's light gardening and base-building and crafting and daily missions and library-cataloguing and upgrade trees for your weapons and for your healing and for your repair box, and NPC favors, and just a lot of modern systems that games throw at us, and I think that's why I dismissed this game at first. But having 100% it, it does a pretty good job with all these systems and is well worth buying at full price in my opinion.

February report

I have made some pretty good progress in February, especially since I also gotten a lot of puzzle packs for different Pixel Puzzles packs done (every pack that I own) and beaten some other games too.

I am also looking for someone to play Oh…Sir! The Hollywood Roast for the multiplayer achievements, so if someone is interested getting them as well please let me know!

Completed SG wins

Frog Detective 2: The Case of the Invisible Wizard
Playtime: 1.5 hours
Achievements: 6 of 6 (100%)
Review: Just like the first game of the series this is also a charming, short and very silly detective game. Works without any issues on Linux with Proton (9.0-4).

Other completed games

Papa's Pizzeria Deluxe
Playtime: 18.3 hours
Achievements: 90 of 90 (100%)
Review: This game is pure nostalgia form my childhood even though there is multiple crimes against pizza in it. While it’s a good game with a ridiculous amount of ingredients, customers, recipes, clothing, and decorations to unlock, it does have a few annoying issues. You can find my full review on Steam here.
The Elephant Collection
Playtime: 9.8 hours
Achievements: 42 of 42 (100%)
Review: A collection of old, nostalgic Elephant (and more) Flash games. If you’ve played these games in the past and would like to try them again, I’d definitely recommend picking them up to relive your younger years. If you haven’t, it’s more of a “maybe”, I would only get it if you want to experience the wonderful joy of Flash games from 20 years ago. Just don’t have super high expectations. You can find my full review on Steam here.
A Tiny Sticker Tale
Playtime: 3.2 hours
Achievements: 17 of 17 (100%)
Review: A short, cute game where you complete quests using the power of stickers. I found the UI a bit awkward, but other than that, it’s a cozy adventure. The Linux version of the game works without any issues.
Sophia the Traveler
Playtime: 1.2 hours
Achievements: 7 of 7 (100%)
Review: It kind of sucks not to recommend it, as there was obviously a lot of effort put into the art of the maps, which looks great. However, about half of the levels are just terrible, and it’s also a bit buggy (sounds sometimes play when they’re supposed to be muted and clicking on a hidden object occasionally doesn’t register). You can find my full review on Steam here.
Chessarama
Playtime: 17.1 hours
Achievements: 48 of 48 (100%)
Review: A game with four different chess piece inspired campaigns, each featuring 22–34 levels, plus four additional chess inspired game modes and the option to simply play normal chess as well. My main (and really only) complaint is that the campaigns desperately need an undo button. You can find my full review on Steam here.

I mean, its a deck dueler, but i havent played Slay the Spire, so I cant compare it to the touchstone deck dueler. I enjoyed it alot tho. Theres a couple achievements behind DLC, which is irksome, but whenever that goes on sale I'll prolly completionist this


Song of Farca

Some neat mechanics, but its basically just a fancy VN on top of a point and click adventure


Broken Age

8.9 hours, 25 of 45 achievements

Click to expand

Disappointing game. As a former Maniac McGee/Day of the Tentacle player, I had hopes for this. The art style is quaint, at first, but gets boring quick. The puzzles are not engaging. The story could have been pretty good, but its very railroad and the ending basically resolves offscreen.


Started school January, so Im on slow pace, but progress is progress

Not the greatest month for games, unfortunately, but i spent most of it moving house, so i do have an excuse

Besides finishing Plucky Squire and Boltgun, i did find some time to finally put Tower Fortress to bed (i mean, technically it could come back, but not in any future i can currently foresee).
Nuclear Throne had an update at some point recently, so i've been trying to grab some of the new achievements, and yeah.. that game is just... well, i'm not having a good time, let's just say that...

Otherwise, just started Pyre, which is great so far, and acquired a fistful more to the backlog, as usual.
Keep it up everyone, i'm enjoying reading all your posts

2026 February

TLDR: finished American Theft 80s, played Expedition 33 and Deep Rock Galactic.

Deep Rock Galactic]

(store page)
has it’s long-awaited Season 6 update, so the game returned to the selection for a good while.

I "continued on" with Expedition 33

store page
a lot (89 hours) , but got to a point in the endgame when it just took so much energy, effort and planning to find an angle towards progress (other than to go back grinding) that I set the game aside for a while. Both the game and I needed some time to breathe.
The game is stunning. I could play it completely blind, only seen a few pictures, and not even trailers, and it’s an amazing expeditionrience with its story, design, music and overall world and tone. Though the “criticism” about it being super parry / dodge focused is 100% valid. If you don’t like it, there’s an accessibility option to skip it.
So, it just feels good to having developed the ability to balance playing a game, and taking a break from it. I’m sure it helps with my long-term appreciation.
Also, I was so afraid that I’ll get motion sickness from the fast camera changes in the game. None of that happened!

American Theft 80s

store page
Is a somewhat clunky thieving simulator, that’s just so full of charm and things to do. Anything linked to stamina sucks, the driving is a method of transportation (including the stolen goods) so don’t expect a GTA-like complex experience. The game’s focus is on handcrafted locations, NPC schedules, and playing around them, stealing stuff, selling it, and progressing through a story. A story, that honestly kind of sucks, but eases you into the game and the mechanics nicely, without overwhelming you with options and tools.
I really enjoyed my time with it (including a sandbox mode which has the goal of ~break into a lot of houses, be clever).
The 73% review rate is in the “good, but with obvious poblems” , but it’s 90% off currently, and I absolutely recommend getting it if: you’re interested in playing a car burglar while yeeting out TVs from the 2nd floor, then following it as there’s no fall damage, and random shenanigans like that. The mechanics are relatively abusable :) But if stealth is not your poison, just skip it, it’s faaaaaaaaaaaaar from a must-have title.

Activated an old key (that turned out to be working) for Poker Night at the Inventory (2010 Original Version), and Augment Anthem for beta testing.
Bought the Fanatical charity bundle, but haven’t activated anything from it (yet), nor from HB monthlies (yet).

Okay so it ended up being a lot of games, thanks to trading, bundles and some very nice christmas gifts :D

Any recommendations will be appreciated as always :)
