I was, like so many of my 1990s-born peers, a huge Sims girlie. I spent hundreds of hours as a teen and young adult making people I knew, characters from shows I was obsessing over, or original characters I wanted to experiment with, and diligently following their life paths and…
A beautiful action RPG that genuinely delivers a grand odyssey with style, a staff, and a very cool monkey.
The Crimson Diamond is a murder mystery puzzle adventure that's a love letter to text parser games past, but in a modern and engaging way. It's great fun - despite niggles with some of the puzzle solutions.

A collection of three uneven Itch.io adventure games that's worth a look if you like Space Quest.
Arranger is funny, surprising, and builds a simple movement puzzle concept into complex, layered head-scratchers. It's a very charismatic puzzle game that won't outstay its welcome.
Conscript's grimy, disturbing setting and grueling combat are poignant, and a sturdy and well-crafted survival horror skeleton keeps things compelling.
Cosy fantasy meets monster hack 'n slashing in Dungeons of Hinterberg, an action RPG that will spirit you away to the majestic Austrian alps.
A smart, sporadically generic but on-the-whole exhilarating mixture of ideas from God Of War and Soulslikes.
