Pocket Orchard

Pocket Orchard is the game we open when we want to unwind. You tend fruit trees, arrange a little garden and trade with wandering visitors, all at your own pace with no timers breathing down your neck.

The charm is in the details: bees that show up when you plant flowers, seasons that change the light, little visitors with their own tastes. Progression is slow but never feels stalled because there's always one more thing to tidy.

It won't excite anyone chasing action, but as a calm-down game it's near perfect.

What we liked

• Relaxed, no-pressure pace
