Little Kitty, Big City Free DLC is nice, that game was fun.
Other than that the only one that really got my attention was Well Dweller, though I’m hearing a lot of good things about UFO 50.
Games I (somewhat) liked:
- Mina the Hollower: Feels too retro, but YachtClub has good reputation, and I loved Shovel Knight so going to take a look.
- Well Dweller: Looks good! Wishlisted
- Neverway: Kinda 50/50. Will keep an eye on it.
- Is This Seat Taken?: Looks pretty fun, wishlisted.
- Winter Burrow: I have this on my list since it was announced for Xbox. Glad it’s coming to Switch! Wishlisted.
- Tiny Bookshop: It a bookshop!
Tiny Bookshop looks fun. Would it motivate me to quit my job and open a tiny bookshop or depress me thinking I can’t quit my job and open a tiny bookshop? 😆
I’m the same with Mina the Hollower, I’ll try out the demo and see what I think.
Tuned in for the last few minutes, and pleasantly surprised to see a lot of cool games.
Really odd to drop UFO 50 in a montage, but glad that’s coming.
Personally hoping to see several of these games get physical editions, even if limited.
Well I have good news for you if you were after a physical edition of UFO 50: https://www.fangamer.com/collections/ufo-50
😃 Fantastic, thank you! Exactly what I’ve been hoping for!
