Clean Up Earth is a relaxing game where you clean up the Earth. Vacuum up trash to restore beautiful beaches and lush grasslands. Carefully rebuild destroyed ecosystems and watch wildlife return to their homes in real time as you restore everything. You can play solo, of course, or with friends. You can even join an online multiplayer session with up to 24 other players, where your community gameplay helps support real-life restoration initiatives.
So, grab your handy Terra Cleaner and get to work cleaning up. Clean Up Earth is full of polluted biomes that need your help to get them cleaned. The Terra Cleaner vacuums up the piles of trash that sit on the land and in the water. It also recycles the trash and rebuilds damaged structures. As you get the trash cleared away, plants will pop back to life, and the local critters will move back home. There’s even a story to uncover as you restore places like Area 51 and the Bermuda Triangle. And if you’re feeling extra helpful, join a massive online instance, pick an organization to represent, and clean your heart out to help that organization in the real world. Relaxing and cozy, but so very helpful!

SEDAP! A Culinary Adventure is a couch co-op cooking adventure with vibrant, fun graphics and an interesting storyline. Play as Som and Gon while they work together to prepare iconic Southeast Asian dishes while travelling across dangerous Khaya Island. Each level is a little bit different, with a variety of recipes, ingredients, obstacles, and enemies. You’ll have to explore each level to find the ingredients you need, process them in the kitchen, and cook a perfect dish!


Now, I played this SEDAP! on easy mode since I played solo, but I had a ton of fun with it. Even on easy mode, the game was just challenging enough not to get boring. Having to hunt down ingredients and sometimes even fight enemies to get the ingredient also adds a bit of freshness to things.
Sprinkling in bits of story between levels was a nice touch, too. This avoids long cutscenes or info-dumping. It’s short little smatterings of cutscenes that give you enough information to set the stage. It also serves to break up the gameplay a little. I also love the variety of dishes that are prepared, as well as the focus being on Southeast Asian food. Too many games use the same cuisine, so this is refreshing!
My one complaint for SEDAP! is the fishing. The minigame for fishing is awful. It ranks up there with the Stardew Valley fishing minigame for me, which I also hate. Tapping a button to align the dot within a bar to fill up the meter is nervewracking in a timed setting. The bar also jumped around so much on some fish, it was difficult to align the dot appropriately. It just wasn’t a nice experience catching fish.


Overall, I really enjoyed SEDAP. I binge-played it over a few days and finished pretty quickly. It was great for capturing my attention, but not requiring too much brain space to play. I recommend it for folks who enjoy games like Overcooked, but really want an easy mode for solo play!
You can find this fun game on Steam, Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox!

The title Gemporium: A Cute Mining Sim really tells you all you need to know about this game. You play as Moel, a small mole who has taken over his grandmother’s gemporium business. Spend your days mining for precious gems, refine them so they shine bright, then sell them in your shop. Sounds easy and relaxing, right? It is! Even if you have a million-dollar debt hanging over your head!


Your days are time-limited and are specifically laid out so you can only do certain things at certain times. Despite that, Gemporium really is relaxing. The mornings are for mining and refining. The afternoons are spent selling your sparkly wares. The evenings are for talking to Grandma, who is such a character, and buying upgrades. Easy and structured, but you can turn on Cozy Mode if you don’t want timed days at all!
I enjoyed the repetition of Gemporium. Every day was structured, so I knew what to expect. This made for the perfect game to just turn my brain off and play. The mines are easy to navigate, and mining by hand is a relaxing chore. Upgrades helped make each process far more enjoyable, too, by increasing abilities. Even repaying the debt was hassle-free because there really was no pressure to meet deadlines. If you miss a payment day, interest is added, but earning money is not difficult. Soon enough, you’ll have more than enough.


Gemporium is on Steam now. There’s also a demo you can try out, and the game is Steam Deck verified! I think this game is perfect for gamers who love to lose themselves in the ease of a routine. It’s cute, it’s relaxing, and it’s a great gameplay experience. I give it
