Slowly unpacking the elaborate game world of Botany Manor provides a super-rewarding puzzle-infused adventure that's delightfully chill.

Dungeon exploring in Cuisineer is a frantic challenge and the enemies are so adorable that you'll keep wanting to go back. I wish running the restaurant was just as fun, though, as it can get repetitive; I'd rather stare at the delicious recipe book than managing the business.

There are so many awesome twin-stick shooters out there that playing The Legend of Cyber Cowboy frankly feels insulting.
