Spooky Express is not only a perfect seasonal choice right now 🎃 , for me its the all-time best train-track-laying puzzle game (there are many!). Really elegant mechanics expressed super purely, and only as difficult as it needs to be. Really great.
Reminder: Spooky Express is OUT NOW!

Review | Birdigo: ‘A Word Game That’ll Ruffle Your Feathers’ (PC)
No one said leading a flock across a trans-continental migration was easy. In Birdigo, success means crafting the right words, building your deck wisely, and adapting your strategy on the fly — all to help your birds reach their seasonal home. Birdigo is clever, it's colourful, and it's very, very hard — it also led me on path to redemption that I desperately needed.
