Wilmot’s Warehouse is a unique game that tasks you with organizing a warehouse that is constantly growing. At the start of each level, you receive a batch of colorful boxes that you must gather and store within a certain time limit. You can choose how to organize the boxes however you want. When the timer ends, customers will request specific products, and your challenge becomes retrieving the corresponding boxes as quickly as possible. The game allows you to come up with a system that allows you to remember where everything is and adapt to new box types as they arrive. There is a sense of urgency in completing orders, and the game has a dark undercurrent as two warehouse workers compete to be efficient. Despite this, Wilmot’s Warehouse manages to make the act of creating order from chaos into a relaxing experience.
Number 9. Escape Academy (PS4, PS5, Xbox, PC)
Escape Academy is essentially a series of digital escape rooms that you can play with a partner. Your goal is to find clues, decode messages, and solve puzzles to escape a locked room within a set time limit. Just like in a real escape room, playing Escape Academy can involve some shouting, but it encourages continuous communication and provides a sense of accomplishment. The puzzles in the game are diverse, but perhaps a little too easy, and the overarching narrative is not particularly noteworthy. However, if you and a partner have been wanting to try a real escape room, Escape Academy can be a fun substitute for a few afternoons.
Number 10. Wizard of Legend (Switch, PS4, Xbox, PC)
