Spirit City: Lofi Sessions is a very relaxing productivity tool and idle game in which players can customise their avatar and virtual space, as well as collect cute spirit critters.

The game has a lot to offer, it provides useful and practical productivity and wellbeing tools as well as fun customisations, XP, and spirit collection to add a sense of fun and progress. The art style is delightfully stylised, providing a serene setting for the player’s activity and the customisable sound design is a stand-out feature of the experience. The game does exactly what it sets out to and does so in a beautifully original way allowing the player to relax and enjoy themselves whilst simultaneously concentrating on personal objectives and tasks. Overall, it is a fantastic game and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique tool to help them focus and achieve goals but at the same time have a bit of fun!

Botany Manor is a charming, nature-themed puzzle game set in a stately home in 19th-century Somerset, England. Players can explore the house, research flora, and work out how to make different plants grow!

It is a delightful game, offering colourful, stylised visuals, immersive and relaxing sound design, a balanced and intriguing narrative, as well as varied and casual gameplay consisting of low-pressure puzzles that still manage to boast a level of complexity. The historical manor and protagonist provide a fascinating backdrop for the gameplay and serve well to enhance the experience. The game is well made and very enjoyable, it is a great way to spend a few hours and while its price tag may seem a little steep for the amount of playtime the quality and substance make it worthwhile. I’d happily recommend this game to puzzle fans or anyone looking for a more laid-back but satisfying gameplay experience.
