    Marvin’s Mittens isn’t strictly Christmas themed, but it perfectly captures the wonder and joy of playing in the snow! This game is a 2D platformer that captures the nostalgia of a childhood spent playing in the snow. Explore the world, and collect magic snowflakes in a hand-drawn environment. 

    Explore a soothing world free of enemies and danger as you run around Marvin’s Mittens on a joyous adventure. Use your sled to race across snowy landscapes until Mom calls you back home. Collecting snowflakes will let you increase your jump height, allowing you to access more and more as you progress. Find shortcuts to new areas, and revisit old levels to discover what you couldn’t access before. Even sneak up on wildlife to record them in your journal. 

    Ultimately, you’ll learn the secrets of snow elf magic and uncover the mystery of your missing mitten while you explore!

    Release Date

    This charming game is fairly old, actually, but I dug it up because of its perfect winter-themed fun. You can find Marvin’s Mittens on Steam!

    I personally enjoy the winter DLC from Overcooked 2 for a little chilly fun!

    Cook Tasty Treats, Potions, Grow Ingredients, and Explore

    In Magical Delicacy, you play as the young witch Flora. She travels to a distant town to fulfill her dream of becoming a full-fledged witch. Flora opens a cozy little shop in the harbor town of Grat, where adventurers settled to chart out adventures to an unexplored island full of mystery. Flora cooks up some tasty treats, as well as magical potions for her patrons, all while growing her own ingredients in her backyard or gathering them from nooks and crannies in town.

    The game offers a unique mechanic, too. While platformer games aren’t unique in and of themselves, Magical Delicacy incorporates platforming into the town exploration. So, instead of a flat walking or running back and forth through the maps, you’ll jump around, climb old bell towers, and delve into dark caves. You can even upgrade your platforming skills to move faster or better. Discover new routes and hard-to-reach places, or even open up new shortcuts back to the shop with upgrades. And don’t forget to uncover the secrets and mysteries the town has to offer.

    Meet a number of unique townsfolk and take their orders or make deliveries. Interact with the merchants of Magical Delicacy, where you can buy ingredients if you don’t want to gather them from around town. Learn magic from the two leaders of opposing covens, Cassia and Tauno. Upgrade your cooking tools, and unlock new rooms in your shop. Discover new cooking recipes. Decorate and organize things to fit your style, too.

    Coming 2024

    This charming little game will come out some time in 2024. You can Wishlist it on Steam now. It will also be available day one on Xbox Game Pass. It will be available for Xbox Series S and Series X.

    Solve Puzzles and Mysteries

    From developers Splashteam, and publishers tinyBuild (the team responsible for Graveyard Keeper), comes Tinykin, a cute, cartoony 3D puzzle platformer. Milo the astronaut has re-discovered Earth! As he arrives on planet Earth, he realizes things aren’t as they should be. Milo is curiously small. Time has also stopped, and Earth is stuck in 1991. Even more mysterious is that everyone has disappeared!

    Play as penny-sized Milo the astronaut as he skateboards around on his tiny soap-board, jumps up obstacles, and hovers around. Explore cities built by ants, beetles, and other insects, all located inside a giant house. Discover the stadium in the bathtub, restore the nightclub in the couch, and strike it rich at the casino under the bed!

    Capture hundreds of strange creatures known as tinykin, and use their different abilities to solve puzzles and explore the house. Meet the society of insect characters along the way to hear their stories. Also collect upgrades for Milo’s bubble-pack, build a museum, and finish Ridmi’s mysterious machine. Do all of this all while seeking answers to Earth’s biggest mystery and help Milo find his way home. 

    Coming Later This Month

    Tinykin releases August 30th. You will be able to find it on Steam, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox X Series, Playstation 4, and Playstation 5. There is currently a demo available only on Steam and Xbox
