We’re in a day and age where so-called ‘Cozy games’ are thriving. The ability to just put the heels up and play a low-stakes, combat-free, calm, cozy video game free of stress is something that more and more gamers are looking for at the end of a tough day of work, and so the market is booming with options. Some are quite expansive like Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, or the aptly named Cozy Grove. Others are more contained, brief, and very consumable titles, like Adorable Adventures.
You play as Boris the boar, who awakens to find his mother and siblings missing. After slowly getting to your feet, it’s not long before you find your mother, who has unfortunately gotten herself trapped, but you need to find your brothers and sisters to crash through the door and set her free. From here you journey out across sun-kissed forest glades, eerie caves, and scorched terrains, as you find each of your siblings, complete a range of simple side-objectives, and more, before setting your mother free. The experience is extremely calming, and doesn’t ask a lot of the player in terms of their skillset, it’s also a very pretty game to look at. The constraints of the game’s scope have allowed the developers at Wild Sheep Studio to focus on creating rich environments, detailed models, and realistic movement animations. While Adorable Adventures won’t be the most memorable of experiences, it’s the perfect game to unwind with over a few quick hours.
Adorable Adventures is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC.
Luna Abyss
If you’re looking for a high-fidelity DOOM-like, then Luna Abyss might be for you. It’s not nearly as blood-soaked as the iconic hellish FPS series, but the monochromatic world is then bathed in neon red that is unbelievably eye-catching. As well as being a visually striking game, I’ve found myself incredibly intrigued by the world that Kwalee Labs has constructed.
As a shooter, Luna Abyss isn’t as refined as the genre icons. The lock-on is especially generous, making the game something of a breeze, and if you’ve spent any time recently playing a AAA banger like Saros, then you might feel like the bullet-ballet nature of evading enemy shots is a bit simple in Luna Abyss as well. That said, the enemy design is really cool, and the guns have just the right amount of kick to them. There are flaws with Luna Abyss, but even more to like, and I highly encourage any fans of moody sci-fi shooters to check it out.
