The “casual” in casual games can mean different things to different people. Perhaps it’s about being able to get back into it wherever and whenever you might be, or maybe it classifies games that don’t involve a lot of pressure or overthinking. All in all, casual games can sometimes feel like a place of solace or merely a boredom buster, available for quick dopamine fixes and ready to entertain at all times.
Just like how PG Soft games are designed for maximum entertainment in the online casino realm, these video games reel in occasional players and dedicated gamers with unique concepts and engaging gameplay. We’re going over six casual games you might be interested in adding to your list, emphasizing cozy releases that are ideal for low-pressure fun.
Good Pizza, Great Pizza – Mouthwatering Pizza Making
Does running your own pizza shop and making custom pizzas sound like a dream? Well, with Good Pizza, Great Pizza, you can find out just what it feels like. This pizza cooking simulator is a great combination of endless pizza making and progression through events and stories, with special toppings and happenings during holidays and over 100 unique characters that bring their own personalities and orders to the counter. You can also unlock upgrades and decorations so that you can customize your shop to your liking.
Platforms: Steam Deck, PC/Mac, Nintendo Switch, Amazon, iOS/Android
Coffee Talk – Fantasy Barista Simulation
Coffee Talk is primarily described as a visual novel, which means it’s perfect for those who enjoy stories and reading intriguing dialogue on screen. Once in a while, you’ll be able to make various drink orders and even create beautiful latte art. While set in the coffee mecca of the United States, Seattle, Washington, there are urban fantasy themes, with customers embodying races like orcs and mermaids. The aesthetic is inspired by lofi chillhop and 90s anime, creating a cool and approachable art style that perfectly complements the quirky and slow-paced gameplay.
Platforms: PC/Mac, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4
Unpacking – Satisfying Silent Storytelling
So many people fell in love with the story and concept of Unpacking that it won numerous awards, including two BAFTA Games Awards and Game of the Year by Eurogamer. The concept of the game centres around unpacking a character’s possessions into her new home, with some items having designated places, while others are up to the player to decide. What’s particularly endearing about Unpacking is that it’s a wordless experience, where the story is told through the room and items themselves. Each stage is titled with a year between 1997 and 2018, and you’re able to watch the main character’s life unfold as you progress through the story.
Platforms: PC/Mac, Nintendo Switch, iOS/Android, Linux, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5
PowerWash Simulator – Digital Cleaning Therapy
With PowerWash Simulator, we’re emphasizing the word ‘casual.’ At the helm of a power-washing business, your job is to earn money by completing power-washing jobs for locations around the town. It’s a satisfying game set in the first-person perspective, allowing you to feel the satisfaction of cleaning everything from flying saucers to residential homes. That’s right—while the premise of the game might feel mundane and ordinary, a strange sci-fi twist and intriguing story keep you interested. The cleaning mechanisms are by no means basic, as there are a range of nozzles, the ability to adjust spray diameter and power, and even a range of cleaning solutions. Players can later upgrade and customize their items to improve their business.
Platforms: Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, Xbox Cloud Gaming, GeForce Now
Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Relaxing Island Life Sim
Animal Crossing: New Horizons took the world by storm when everyone was cooped up indoors because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Everyone and their mother bought a Nintendo Switch and a copy of the game and spent hundreds of hours engrossed in a real-time life simulation game dominated by cutesy anthropomorphic animals.
The goal of the game? To thrive on and develop the island by fishing, donating to the museum, catching bugs, crafting items, decorating your home, interacting with fellow villagers, and plenty more. In fact, there’s so much that happens each day and as the game progresses that you’ll essentially never run out of things to do. The game has had such a worldwide impact that several aquariums have hosted special Animal Crossing-themed events.
Platforms: Nintendo Switch
Strange Horticulture – Immersive Occult Puzzle Game
Unlike the regulars in Good Pizza, Great Pizza, the customers that come to your local plant store, Strange Horticulture, are much more mysterious—some even corrupt. These creepy clients are in the market for botanic remedies at your store, and you have to match the details of their requests to descriptions in the Strange Book of Plants. You’ll also have to organize and classify an unknown collection of plants in order to unlock the items needed to create these remedies and even discover new events and plants on a map. With the option to either help these customers or sabotage them, an extra layer of adventure and strategy is involved. The game’s intimate gameplay and fascinating concept have garnered it many accolades and a 5-star rating on Steam from 10,500 reviews.
Platforms: PC/Mac, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One
