The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Steam Next Fest is here, which means plenty of wholesome demos for cozy game 🔥lovers like myself to explore - and Galactic Getaway might just be one of the best I've played yet.
Akrew's debut life sim started as a Kickstarter project, and boy has it blossomed into so much more since then. Upon hopping into the demo, I'm instantly reminded of games like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Animal Crossing. From the little chibi-style characters to the relaxing vibes akin to those you'll find within 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo's beloved sim series, Galactic Getaway unde🧔niably draws inspiration from Animal Crossing for its visuals - and also much of its gameplay.
The first thing I did in-game was gather plants, befriend animals, and collect materials from nodes like rocks. I felt like I was back in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:New Horizons, plucking the weeds off of my island and shaking trees. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stardew Valley came to mind, too, especially after I received seeds to plant and farm. While the fea✱tures feel familiar, especially as I've played my fair share of sims, the game isn't quite like an🦩y other title alone - it's a mashup of many.
Sure, there's the building, crafting, decorating, fishing, and gathering typical of most farming games, but there are other elements to Ga🐓lactic Getaway sprinkled in that almost make me forget its advertised identity as a life sim. The minigames are just one example of something that should feel out of place, but they somehow fit seamlessly in between all of the collecting and tending. Think Mario Party - if its minigames existed within Animal Crossing instead.
You can engage in space races, zoom around in go-karts, compete in laser tag games, solve puzzles, and more. Everything is as colorful and vibrant as it is in Mario Party, too, which made me feel like a kid playing with my family after school on the Wii all over again. The Nintendo-esque mood Galactic Getaway manages to put me in doesn't end with Animal Crossing or Mario Party, though - there's even a bit of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Pokemon flair in there.
While animals are your villagers in Animal Crossing, they're companions that you can collect in Galactic Getaway. Wh🎀en you approach one, a familiar line straight from Pokemon pops up letti💛ng you know that a "wild" creature "appears." From there, you can befriend it by feeding it and telling it silly jokes. It's a cute twist on Pokemon's iconic monster-collecting mechanics, and it's just the cherry on top of the genuinely entertaining, wholesome cake that Akrew's game is.
The best part of all of this, however, is the fact that it's enjoyable in multiplayer with up to 30 friends - and yes, you read that number right. Think of all the chaotic, cozy fun you could have with your pals, and give the demo a go on . I personally can't wait to experience the full game when it finally releases later down the line, but for now, I'd recommend trying Galactic Getaway while 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Valve's seasonal 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Steam Next Fest is still kicking.
Check out these other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming indie games for even more to look forward to.

She has written for various publications since her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she's not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she's probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she's spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark in Baldur's Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you'll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handheld video g⭕ame console of some sort, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
