Ourlands

Ourlands is exactly what it sets out to be: a peaceful, creative little escape. It asks nothing of you except that you show up and enjoy yourself. Its art style is gorgeous, its music is soothing. The discovery loop is genuinely delightful, and its restraint in not overcomplicating things is one of its greatest strengths. The postcard mode could use a gallery feature, and a few small bugs and quirks linger, but these are minor complaints in an otherwise polished package. At its current price point, Ourlands is an easy recommendation for anyone who needs a breather from more demanding games, or from life in general. It feels like taking a breath.
