Steam’s Latest 100% Rated Free Game Hailed As Perfect Aid To Relax

Skillwood is a newly released free game on Steam, described as a "relaxing woodcutter simulator" with straightforward mechanics that have earned it a 100% rating from players. Developed by sshulin, the game involves chopping wood, mining stone, and trading with NPCs while managing stamina, which can be replenished by upgrading the campfire or foraging for berries. Players can explore and construct bridges and ladders to access new areas, enhancing resource-gathering. The game is designed for casual play and offers a mental escape, with players able to complete all objectives in approximately 40 minutes. Skillwood is free-to-play, as the developer chose not to implement a pay-to-play model or cosmetic DLC.

Petit Planet is exactly the Animal Crossing clone it looked like, but after 15 hours of it I’m shocked by how many new ideas it has too

HoYoverse's new title, Petit Planet, is facing comparisons to Animal Crossing: New Horizons due to its similar gameplay mechanics and charming characters. The game features a protagonist named Nalo and a diverse cast of anthropomorphic animal neighbors, including a squirrel shopkeeper named Glenn. The art style is vibrant and colorful, creating an inviting atmosphere. There are concerns about the game's monetization strategy, including the potential for gacha mechanics and the impact of multiplayer features on user privacy, especially for younger players. Despite these issues, Petit Planet offers a unique experience that may appeal to fans of the cozy gaming genre.

Can’t find the Windrose Traveler’s Camp second chest? We couldn’t either… until we remembered a clue from another camp

In the co-op pirate survival game Windrose, players earn experience points (XP) by exploring islands and completing tasks, which include finding and opening treasure chests. The game map indicates the number of chests remaining at each location. During gameplay, the PC Gamer team found one chest at a Traveler's Camp but struggled to locate the second. A memory of a previous camp led them to search for trees with red scarves tied around them, which consistently marked the location of hidden chests. Digging at the base of these trees allowed them to successfully find the second chest at various Traveler's Camps.

How to fast travel in Windrose

In the co-op pirate survival game Windrose, players can fast travel after crafting a Fast Travel Bell and establishing Fast Travel Points. To craft a Fast Travel Bell, players need 10 copper ingots and 3 ropes. A Fast Travel Point requires 20 wood and 1 Fast Travel Bell. Players can find Fast Travel Bells as loot in shipwrecks or chests. Fast Travel Points must be placed near water and players can only fast travel between established points while on foot. While sailing, fast travel is accessible unless in combat. Players can activate fast travel from any point at sea by selecting a Fast Travel Point on the map. In co-op mode, initiating fast travel teleports only the player, leaving the ship behind. Additionally, there are existing fast travel points at faction bases like Tortuga.
