After losing Love Live, Ensemble Stars filled the idol shaped hole in my heart. It has a similar semi-circle layout (my preference for rhythm games) and a great cast of characters. The story is wild if you are big into lore!

OH MY GOD IT’S TOO CUTE. The storybook art style and cute food has me sold. I also love the puzzles!
The definition of idle gaming, but I really love the anime collabs (Dungeon Meshi!) and the character designs are really nice. A nice boredom killer.

Lowkey best mobile dating sim I’ve played. Great visuals, a variety of gameplay styles & fun mini games, and I love the boys. It reminded me of Mr. Love: Queen’s Choice, but I like this one more!

The art in this game is nothing like I have ever seen and the addition of voice acting has brought Disco Elysium into a caliber all its own. I love the ability to mess around and dig deep into the crazier parts of the story - it often feels like the ...

ZZZ has some of the drippiest art and design in a Hoyo game. Worth checking out for the soundtrack alone.

I’m a sucker for Fire Emblem and a bigger sucker for turn-based combat. My fourth entry into the series - I’ve completed 13 play-throughs. I think I might like it.

Everything about this game is peak. One of my favorite stories ever put to screen.

Still a comfy, cozy way to unwind at the end of the day. My island is camp themed!
Animal Crossing

I first played this on my friend’s Steam Deck at an anime convention - it’s incredibly fun and I love the references to con culture. I love being unhinged in my play throughs!

My first gaming PC and I’m very pleased with it! The function suits my needs as a casual PC gamer and the aesthetic of the stained glass fits the vibe of my office perfectly!

My preference compared to the full Switch console - travel friendly and comes in cute colors!

I love my iPad mini for mobile games - specifically Honkai Star Rail. It is the perfect size for games with more detailed graphics, but still have more simple gameplay (like turn-based fighting).

Lucky enough to upgrade to a PS5 purchasing second hand. I’ve been a PlayStation girl since I was a kid, so I play most AAA titles strictly on Sony consoles. PS5 so far has been a solid entry in the series.
