Another game that slid into the January release window just before the month was out was Season: A Letter To The Future. If you’re a fan of games that feel like nothing you’ve seen before, this exploration game has you making the most of the last days of Earth’s existence.

You can take pictures, draw, record audio, and look, I know this might sound a little too chill but consider it a palette cleanser between Alan Wake II and the 200 hours you’re going to spend in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Season is deeply impactful and has plenty to say for those willing to dive into its lush, gorgeous game world. If you’ve been holding out for a game that will make you feel something, Season and its layered characters and intriguing narrative serve up a buffet of heartstring-pulling moments.

This is yet another delightful slice of life kind of game that comes at a great time in a year jam-packed with lengthy and deeply complex offerings.
