although being a relatively short and simple game, 'a short hike' I instantly fell in love with this game and it's ended up one of my favourites, so much so, only 2 hours in I went back to steam and bought it again for my friend so they could also experience this beautifully crafted game.
you play as Claire, a bird, with the task of reaching the top of the mountain in order to try and find some phone reception. through this journey you get to explore the rest of the world through its unique and gorgeous art style, all the while complete other smaller quests, accompanied by a beautiful soundtrack.
for any fans of 'cozy games' or someone just looking for a relaxing simple game and escapism, I cannot recommend 'a short hike' enough!

first light delves into the back story of fetch, a character first mentioned in previous game, 'second son'. I enjoyed its game play, and thought the handling of the neon abilities actually played out far better than Delsin's own, as well as them being really visually pleasing.
the story is fairly short and felt a little rushed as it just seemed to jump from one thing to the next without any sort of development in-between, however, it still plays out a understandable story, and gives you a deeper understanding of fleches character that the previous game lacked. although advertised as more of a dlc to 'second son', first light can be played as a stand alone game, and can potentially enhance you experience of the series as it plays out as a prequal to 'second son'.
the game also has a battle arena where you can fight to survive and save hostages for as long as long as possible, this can be entertaining for a bit and sets up a challenge for yourself to see how highly you can score, however this can become boring and repetitive after a while.
overall first light was a enjoyable game, and I would recommend to anyone who's a fan of the series or enjoys story base games.

assemble with care is a short and sweet puzzle game, you play a character in a new town going around and helping to fix up the broken possessions of the townsfolk and in turn, learning the stories about them.
soundtrack and art style was nice, it doesn't have a lot of of game play, only taking me 2 hours to complete, however I loved figuring out how to dissemble and fix the different objects. the game fits perfectly into the 'cozy games' atheistic and I would recommend to any fans of Florence, unpacking, and coffee talk.
