It's still Dwarf Fortress, it's still great.

This game feels like a very happy medium between Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. You do very light farming and crafting, including building and decorating NPC houses according to their wishes. The build mode is fantastic, very simple and intuitive (and also a fun way to get to inaccessible parts of the town!). 6 hours in and I still have a lot more to unlock and new friends to meet.

This game is a little on the simplistic side, but the core loop of crafting various foods and beer is very satisfying. I appreciated that the tavern doesn't open or close outside of when you decide, so you can stock up and spend a big day just tending the bar or get a bunch of chores done and only open for a few hours for dinner. Really excited to see how this progresses. I love the cat.

Delightful little city builder with a focus on verticality and environmentalism. Held back a bit by very fiddly controls and some pretty major bugs (I wasn't able to complete the story mode), but still recommend it overall.

I felt like the time limit mechanic wore out its welcome pretty quickly but would still highly recommend, excellent little game.

Excellent short-form horror experience

I made a terrible mistake not recommending this game initially. It did not work with my XBone controller, so I tried with mousey keyboard, and this is not advised, as it says on the first screen. XBox 360 works like a charm though and I'm having a blast.

This game may look unassuming but it is hands down one of the most clever, satisfying puzzle games I have ever played in my life. I waited for a sale because I was unsure whether I'd just end up frustrated, but after playing it I would have been happy even paying the full price. Highly recommended.

This game is a delight, surprising and inspired. Absolutely worth the very low price.
