One now on my radar is Dragon Lands, a sweet looking mixture of an incremental game about creature collection, farming, crafting and automation.

Ready for your next casual game after Stardew Valley? Cattle Country is a good choice with a big sense of adventure.

I have, admittedly, spent far too long playing the demo of Rock Crusher. An upcoming incremental clicker with Leaf Blower Revolution vibes.

Tiny Garden released at the start of April, with a fresh update that just released adding in controller support and Native Linux support. Looks like another very sweet casual game to relax with.

Preserve from developer Bitmap Galaxy is a nature-building puzzle game where you build tiles in an interesting mix of horizontal and vertical gameplay that's just left Early Access.

I wrote about Ludaro back in mid April, and now you can try this new chaotic spin on Ludo yourself, as they've just released a first demo for it.

Mineshaft is a clever blending of genres that takes the very basics from Tetris but makes it quite an interesting challenge with resource gathering, tool crafting and puzzle solving. It's like a mini Minecraft / Terraria version of Tetris.

In a future Minecraft release that's now in testing, you won't need to hunt or fish for a saddle, as it's finally going to be an item you can just craft.

Frogspin pulled my in by the colourful and inviting sweet visuals but reading more into it, the game sounds like it becomes pure hilarious chaos due to the slot machine modifier mechanics.

Inspired by classic Western adventures and blended with wholesome farming charm, Cattle Country is definitely one you should be keeping an eye on. The developers have announced it's set for launch on May 27th.

Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping from Happy Broccoli Games is now set for release on May 22nd, and it will come with Native Linux support.

Polterguys: Possession Party from Madorium Ltd is a party game that's highly competitive. As a bunch of ghosts, you and friends are trying to get away from a monster, so you need to sabotage everyone else to survive.

Roots of Pacha is basically like a Stone Age version of Stardew Valley, a co-op farming and life sim from Sofa Den. The Sun and Moon update is a big one and it's out now.

I have no idea what actual genre LOOTPLOT belongs in, or how to properly describe it. You go through rounds of sorting through your inventory and expanding it, trying to create crazy synergies and keep increasing your points needed to beat each level.

Of life and Land has been in Early Access for just over a year now, and it's about to cross over the finishing line as Metaroot and Kerzoven have announced the 1.0 launch for May 16th.

Electronic Arts (EA) announced that both MySims and MySims Kingdom have been upgraded with "some things we have been working on for a long time" which includes Steam Deck support for both titles.

Might and Delight have revealed Twinkleby, a new cosy decoration game where you map out an archipelago of floating islands and build dioramas for a society of spacefaring neighbours.

Developer .Gravity announced recently that Little Sim World will be entering Early Access on May 1st, and it appears it will also get Linux / Steam Deck support.

If you prefer your games a bit cosier and sweeter perhaps Iron Village might be your next one to pick up. Especially if you like building and management sims.

Spilled! is a thoroughly relaxing cute gem about driving a little boat and cleaning up the ocean, to bring life back to the planet.
