Milano’s Odd Job Collection is such a surprise. An obscure and rare PS1 game made with girls in mind that combines minigame and life sim elements? It’s not surprising we didn’t see it in 1999. While there are some elements that show its age and lead to tedious experiences, it’s an absolutely adorable game and I’m glad it showed up everywhere after so many years. The premise behind Milano’s Odd Job Collection feels plucked from a slice-of-life anime. Milano is only 11 years old. Her life is upended one summer, as her mom is going to be in the hospital…

I just don’t know about the Natsume original Harvest Moon entries sometimes. Sometimes, we’ll get one that’s passable and seems to at least get what we’d want from a Bokujou no Monogatari farming fame, like Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos. But then it seems like all lessons learned are forgotten. That’s when a game like Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home Special Edition comes up and feels so lifeless, shallow, and oversimplified that it offers no motivation to keep playing. As in past Harvest Moon games, things begin with our avatar moving from the city to the country. In this…

Sumikkogurashi Create a Wonderful Sumikko Island is a pleasant surprise! Getting games based on the San-X characters worldwide isn’t guaranteed. And when Nippon Columbia and Imagineer brought it up, it was with very little fanfare. Which is a shame, as this is an adorable, relaxing, and soothing little sandbox that is incredibly cute and not at all demanding. The premise of Sumikkogurashi Create a Wonderful Sumikko Island isn’t all that different from Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The mascots Neko, Penguin?, Shirokuma, Tokage, and Tonkatsu, along with other smaller characters like Ebifurai no Shippo, get an opportunity to move to a…
