Klocki is a short and relaxing puzzle title that should appeal to all fans of the genre. Thanks to the lack of timers, ratings, leaderboards, and points it’s a very calming experience too. Although it starts very easy the game continually introduces new puzzle elements and then combines everything for a bigger challenge. Nevertheless, most players should be able to complete every level in under two hours, but seeing as the game is so cheap this is still great value for money.
Gameplay: Somewhat easy, but very enjoyable and relaxing.
Graphics: The minimal visuals fit the calming nature of the game.
Sound: Just as calming and soothing as the visual style

OutDrive combines the Synthwave aesthetic with some nice music for an endless runner where you must maintain your speed to keep a girl alive. Unfortunately, it is let down by the controls and a lack of variety. Nevertheless, the game is cheap, and you can also import your own tracks, so as long as you can put up with the controls, there is still fun to be had.
Gameplay: The controls are lacking, and the game doesn’t have a lot of variety.
Graphics: OutDrive perfectly captures the Synthwave aesthetic.
Sound: The soundtrack is very fitting, and players can also use custom songs

Home Sheep Home: Farmageddon Party Edition is a casual puzzle adventure based on the popular Aardman Animations license. While it lacks the claymation style visuals of the source material the game still looks good and, more importantly, it is a lot of fun to play. There’s nothing here that is too taxing, so even younger players can enjoy the adventures of the three mischievous sheep. We would have liked to play the multiplayer aspects of the game online, but unfortunately, these are limited to local players only.
Gameplay: Not very difficult, but quite creative and fun to play.
Graphics: Looks like a children’s storybook that has come to life.
Sound: Good, but not great
