Widget Satchel is an Interesting Hidden Gem

Widget Satchel is a delightful flat graphic style game, where you play as an adorable ferret upon a space station. You start off with a satchel and explore junk-filled levels and builds things. There is no game over or way of getting hurt, but plenty of challenging scenarios to try things out. Let's have a look.

Knights and Bikes is the Best Game About Adventure & Imagination

Slime Rancher, the Original Game, is the One That Started it All

You're an adventurous protagonist named Beatrix who has settled down on her uncle's ranch on an alien planet where the landscape is occupied by canyons of shiny cute blobs of a variety of species and value. Also some chickens. Which... some slimes eat. Moving on. Yer not from around here, are you? So, what is the point of this? Or the goal, to be a little more specific. Well, it's basically a high-quality vacuum cannon survival sim. This game is super wholesome--and fun. The slimes remind me of the sparrows that visit our backyard in the daytime to get food…
