Hozy is a cozy decorating game that makes me want to rip up my carpet, and take a trip to Ikea

The game Hozy invites players to revitalize a forgotten neighborhood by cleaning, painting, and decorating homes, focusing on a relaxing gameplay experience without timers or score meters. Players can tackle various rooms, starting with a messy attic, and use pre-filled boxes of items for decoration, which helps alleviate choice paralysis. The game features a first-floor studio with an adjacent garden, where players can creatively design spaces. Developer Come On Studio has announced that Hozy will include nine handcrafted locations to renovate and is set to launch on March 30, 2026. A suggested feature for improvement is painter's tape for more precise wall sectioning.

Nioh 3 just got a Steam demo, and given Team Ninja’s history I’m surprised how well it runs on my aging rig

Team Ninja's recent release, Rise of the Ronin, faced performance issues on PC, including stuttering, framerate fluctuations, and crashes, similar to problems seen in their earlier title, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. Nioh 2 also had launch challenges, while Ninja Gaiden 4 performed decently but lacked customizable settings. Players with a Ryzen 5 5600H and 16GB RAM experienced mixed results with Nioh 3, achieving around 60 fps at 1080p on "very low" settings, but framerate could drop to 44 fps in the open world. The introduction of frame generation support in Nioh 3 improved performance, allowing players to use higher graphics settings while maintaining at least 60 fps. Players reported minimal input lag during the demo, and the game was found to be demanding on platforms like the Steam Deck OLED.
