Well, that’s about all I can remember playing. I enjoyed all of these games and they are 7/10+ Anyways, whatcha think?

I am really enjoying apico at the moment, a really cute wholesome game about breeding bees and butterflies, helping to save the species, it’s based on the old forestry mod for minecraft which used to be one of my favourites as well.
Dang, that looks awesome, I’ve never heard of it. I’ll definitely be keeping that one in a wishlist. Thank you for the recommendation!
Give babaisyou a try. It’s a logic puzzler and that’s all I’m going to say about it. Part of the fun is discovering the mechanics and how to break them
How about 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim? It’s part mystery visual novel with a interesting plot and part action tactic game.
It’s available on the Switch and the PS Store.
Dead Cells and Neon White are two recent favorite for me. I played on PC, but I assume the PlayStation and Switch versions are the same.
Looks like they’re both on sale for PlayStation right now, too.
