Bigger, wilder, and a lot more to think about
Sky islands, a huge underground and a building system that lets you make anything. Incredible, but it asks more of your brain than Breath of the Wild did.

Poker you don't need to know, and one more run every time
A card game that looks like a smoky old arcade cabinet and plays like a slot machine for your brain. Five minutes or an hour, both are fine.

A retrowave road trip where your choices matter
Hitchhike across a made-up country in 1996, meet people you grow to care about, and let a retrowave soundtrack set the mood. Almost no effort, all feeling.

One of my favourite games, and the easiest way to switch off
Dive in the morning, run a sushi bar at night. Gorgeous, funny, endlessly chill, with a jungle DLC that deserves its own review.

Cute and relaxing, but it turned into chores
A cosy island that keeps your mind off the day. I loved the first hour. On my own, it became repetitive and farm-y, and I let it go.

You decide how much effort, and sightseeing counts
Endless planets, a magnificent soundtrack and the best landing on a new world feeling in games. Sprint through it or just sightsee, you choose.

Easy isn't the same as light.
Every review gets two numbers on top of the game score. Effort is how much you have to learn and remember. Challenge is how hard it is to beat. A game can be simple and brutal, or gentle and exhausting. After work I usually want both low, but not always.
E4C3 reads as "heavy effort, fair challenge".
