Eight game worlds, played through and shown in full.

Milentarium is an independent UK review site built like a small museum. Every game has its own room, an original illustration and a plaque that says what you do, who it suits, how long a session runs, where to stop and what it can cost. No adverts, no trackers, no paid placements.

Kingdom Two Crowns

Stumpy Squid, Fury Studios and Coatsink, from Thomas van den Berg’s original. Published by Raw Fury, 2018

Pixel art, side-scrolling micro strategy, solo or co-op

4.1 out of 5Curator’s rating: worth the visit

A wordless kingdom you build one coin at a time, and lose the moment you get greedy.

Official site for Kingdom Two Crowns, opens the official Kingdom site in a new tab

The review

You ride left and right along a single strip of land, dropping coins to recruit wanderers, hire builders, raise walls and arm archers. Nothing is explained in words: you learn what a coin does by dropping it somewhere and watching. Nights bring the Greed, masked creatures who steal coins and, if they take your crown, end the reign.

The pixel art and its mirrored river are among the loveliest things in the building, and co-op turns the slow middle hours into a shared project. The slowness is also the catch. A campaign is built from long rides back and forth, and one careless night can undo an hour of work.

On the plaque

What you do
Ride, spend coins on builders, farmers and archers, push your walls outwards by day and hold them at night, then sail on to the next island.
Who it suits
Patient players who like learning a system by trying it, and pairs who want a calm co-op game with real stakes.
Plays on
PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, iOS and Android. Versions differ, so check the official page for yours.
Session
Solo, or co-op in the same room or online. Slow and watchful; 45 to 90 minutes suits it.
Checkpoint
Dawn. Once the night’s attack is over and the walls have held, the new morning is a clean place to stop. Quitting mid-night means coming back to a fight already under way.
Costs
One purchase for the base game. Paid expansions are sold separately, among them Norse Lands and Call of Olympus, and the phone versions also sell cosmetic outfit packs. We found no paid random items.

Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley

Hyper Games. Published by Raw Fury, 2024

Picture-book adventure with music, light stealth and puzzles

4.0 out of 5Curator’s rating: worth the visit

A gentle protest song: pull up the park keeper’s signs and let the valley breathe again.

Official site for Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley, opens the official Snufkin site in a new tab

The review

Snufkin comes home to Moominvalley and finds it fenced into tidy parks full of rules. You wander the valley, play melodies on the harmonica to calm, lead or cheer its creatures, and slip past the park keepers to pull their signs out of the ground.

It looks like a picture book given room to move, and its quiet sense of mischief is very Moomin. The stealth is forgiving and the puzzles are simple, which protects the mood but leaves experienced players wanting a little more bite. It is not a long game, and it is better for it.

On the plaque

What you do
Explore the valley, play tunes to help or guide creatures, sneak past park keepers, tear down their signs and help old friends along the way.
Who it suits
Families, readers of the Moomin books, and anyone who wants a calm adventure where the challenge stays light.
Plays on
PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, iOS and Android. Versions differ, so check the official page for yours.
Session
Solo. Calm and unhurried; 30 to 60 minutes at a time.
Checkpoint
When the last sign in a park comes down. The area changes once it is free, and that is a natural end to a session.
Costs
One purchase. One paid story add-on, Fuddler’s Courtship, is sold separately, and some stores offer a Digital Deluxe Edition. We found no in-game shop.
Age

Blue Prince

Dogubomb. Published by Raw Fury, 2025

First-person puzzle mystery with room drafting

4.7 out of 5Curator’s rating: masterpiece

A manor that redraws itself every day, and a mystery that rewards keeping a notebook.

Official site for Blue Prince, opens the official Blue Prince site in a new tab

The review

You inherit Mount Holly manor on one condition: find its 46th room. Each time you open a door you choose one of three rooms to draft into the floor plan, so the house is different every day, and each day ends when your steps run out.

What puts it at the top of the collection is how much is hidden in plain sight. Notes, paintings and the details of each room connect into puzzles that run across days and weeks of play. It asks for patience and a pen, and some days end with little to show for them. Played in long stretches, it is one of the most absorbing puzzle games we have hung.

On the plaque

What you do
Open doors, draft rooms from three choices, manage your steps, keys, gems and coins, and piece together clues across many in-game days.
Who it suits
Puzzle fans who enjoy taking notes, and detective-game players who are happy to let luck shape each day.
Plays on
PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2. Versions differ, so check the official page for yours.
Session
Solo. Focused and quiet; one in-game day takes roughly 30 to 60 minutes.
Checkpoint
The end of an in-game day. When your steps run out, the house resets, so stopping there costs you nothing.
Costs
One purchase. No add-ons and no in-game shop at the time of writing.

Townscaper

Oskar Stålberg. Published by Raw Fury, 2021

Town-building toy with no goals, on an irregular grid

3.9 out of 5Curator’s rating: worth the visit

Click the sea and a town grows: a building toy with no score and no way to fail.

Official site for Townscaper, opens the Townscaper page at Raw Fury in a new tab

The review

There are no goals, resources or missions. Pick a colour, click the water and a house appears; click again and it grows upwards, sprouting arches, stairs, gardens and bridges as the game fits each piece to its neighbours. It left early access in 2021.

Its maker calls it more of a toy than a game, and that is the charm: ten minutes with it is a deep breath. If you need objectives you will run out of reasons to stay quite quickly, which is why it hangs here as worth the visit rather than a masterpiece.

On the plaque

What you do
Place and remove blocks on an irregular grid, choose colours, and turn the camera around the town as it fills in its own details.
Who it suits
Anyone who wants something calm and creative. Good for children and adults side by side, and for short breaks.
Plays on
PC, Mac, Linux, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, iOS, Android and Meta Quest. Versions differ, so check the official page for yours.
Session
Solo. Relaxing; 10 to 30 minutes is plenty.
Checkpoint
Whenever the town looks finished to you. There is no progress to lose, so stop when you like the view.
Costs
One low-priced purchase. No add-ons and no in-game shop.
Age

Moonstone Island

Studio Supersoft. Published by Raw Fury, 2023

Life sim with creature collecting and card battles

3.6 out of 5Curator’s rating: special interest

A year of island-hopping alchemy, with spirit card battles between the farming.

Official site for Moonstone Island, opens the Moonstone Island page at Raw Fury in a new tab

The review

Your village sends you to the sky islands for a year of alchemy training. You fly between floating islands on a broom, farm and craft, make friends in the village and tame spirits, which fight for you in turn-based card battles.

There is a great deal here, and the pastel look is lovely. The parts don’t always sit comfortably together: the card battles want deck-building attention while the life-sim side wants slow days, and the early hours explain little. If you already love both genres, it is a generous mix; if you love only one, the other may feel like homework.

On the plaque

What you do
Farm and decorate, brew potions and craft, explore islands by broom, collect spirits and build a card deck for battles, and get to know the villagers.
Who it suits
Farming-sim fans who also enjoy deck building, and players who like long, open-ended seasons.
Plays on
PC and Nintendo Switch. Versions differ, so check the official page for yours.
Session
Solo. Cosy; 30 to 90 minutes.
Checkpoint
Going to bed in the game. Ending the day at home is the natural stopping point, and the next morning starts fresh.
Costs
One purchase. Free content updates have been added since launch, and a small paid cosmetic pack, Autumnal Accessories, is sold separately. We found no paid random items.

Cassette Beasts

Bytten Studio, Brighton. Published by Raw Fury, 2023

Open-world monster-collecting RPG with turn-based battles

4.4 out of 5Curator’s rating: permanent collection

Record monsters onto tapes, fuse them mid-battle, and explore an island with a seaside soul.

Official site for Cassette Beasts, opens the official Cassette Beasts site in a new tab

The review

Stranded on the island of New Wirral, you record monsters onto cassette tapes and transform into them in battle. When you and your partner both transform, you can fuse into a new creature, and the sheer number of possible fusions keeps fights inventive long after the opening hours.

The open island rewards curiosity with puzzles and side stories, and the soundtrack is a highlight. The story loses some pace in the middle, but the battle system holds up from start to finish. A friend can join on the same screen and play as your partner, and a free update in 2024 added online play with friends.

On the plaque

What you do
Explore New Wirral, record and level up monsters on tapes, fuse with your partner in turn-based battles, solve puzzles around the island and take on the ranger captains.
Who it suits
Fans of monster collectors who want more freedom and stranger creatures, and RPG players who like tinkering with team builds.
Plays on
PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, iOS and Android. Versions differ, so check the official page for yours.
Session
Solo, two players on one screen, or online with friends since a free 2024 update. Upbeat; 45 to 90 minutes.
Checkpoint
After a ranger captain’s challenge. Head back to town once it’s done: it is a natural break in the story.
Costs
One purchase. One paid expansion, Pier of the Unknown, is sold separately. No in-game shop and no paid random items.

Dome Keeper

Bippinbits, Dresden. Published by Raw Fury, 2022

Pixel art roguelike: mining below, dome defence above

4.3 out of 5Curator’s rating: permanent collection

Dig for as long as you dare, then race back up before the next wave hits the glass.

Official site for Dome Keeper, opens the official Dome Keeper site in a new tab

The review

You keep a glass dome on a hostile planet. Between attack waves you drill down through the rock, haul iron, water and cobalt back up and spend them on upgrades; when a wave arrives, you aim the dome’s weapon yourself.

The tension comes from one question asked every few minutes: one more tile, or turn back now? Runs are short, the pixel art is beautiful, and later runs vary more as you unlock gadgets and keepers. If the loop doesn’t hook you in the first hour, though, it won’t later. A free update in 2026 added multiplayer, both co-operative and competitive.

On the plaque

What you do
Mine, carry resources to the surface, upgrade the dome and your drill, and defend against waves between digging trips.
Who it suits
Players who like short, tense runs, and anyone who enjoys a one-more-go loop.
Plays on
PC (Windows, Mac and Linux) and Xbox Series X|S. Versions differ, so check the official page for yours.
Session
Solo, or multiplayer with up to four on one screen and up to eight online. Tense; a run fits comfortably in under an hour.
Checkpoint
The quiet right after a wave is beaten. You know how the run is going and the next attack is as far away as it will ever be.
Costs
One purchase. One paid add-on, The Lost Keepers, adds two keepers, pets and cosmetics. Multiplayer was a free update. No in-game shop.

Far Frontiers

Star Trucker

Monster and Monster. Published by Raw Fury, 2024

First-person space trucking sim, retro Americana

3.7 out of 5Curator’s rating: special interest

Long-haul freight across open space, with the CB radio for company.

Official site for Star Trucker, opens the official Star Trucker site in a new tab

The review

You drive a rig between space stations, picking up and delivering cargo while you keep the truck’s systems running from the cab. Voices crackle over the CB radio, and the retro Americana look is charming and specific.

Nights spent cruising with the radio on are oddly soothing. It is a driving sim first, though: hauling can be repetitive, and manoeuvring a trailer in zero gravity takes patience. For people who already love truck sims it is a fresh coat of chrome; others may find the routine thin.

On the plaque

What you do
Take jobs, dock and haul trailers, keep the truck’s systems running, fix faults, upgrade and decorate your cab, and chat on the CB.
Who it suits
Truck and driving sim fans, and players who like a put-the-radio-on kind of game.
Plays on
PC, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Versions differ, so check the official page for yours.
Session
Solo. Relaxed; 45 to 90 minutes.
Checkpoint
After a delivery is signed off and before you take the next job. An empty trailer is the cleanest place to stop.
Costs
One purchase. Optional add-on packs, such as the Amped Customization Pack, are sold separately. We found no paid random items.
Age

Visitor guide

Three things worth knowing before you go in: how to play well, how a game earns its room, and answers to the questions visitors ask most.

Play well: the visitor code

Eight signs for the world outside the screen: your time, your sleep, your money and how you feel.

Time
Decide when you’ll stop before you start, and tell anyone you share a screen with. The visit planner does the sums for you.
Breaks
Every 20 minutes, look at something about 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Stand up and move at least once an hour.
Sleep
Screens off an hour before bed. Stop at a checkpoint, never on a cliffhanger that will keep you awake.
Money
Set a monthly limit before you buy anything in a game. Each plaque’s Costs line tells you what there is to spend on.
Paid random items
Loot boxes and other paid random items take money before you know what you get. Avoid games built around them.
Age labels
PEGI ratings show the youngest age a game suits. Read the content notes too, and use your device’s family settings.
Online
Keep your real name and location private. Block, mute and report freely, and switch voice chat off if it stops being fun.
How you feel
If play leaves you tense, tired or low, take a longer break and talk to someone. Games should add to a day, not take it over.

Reading a PEGI age labelPEGI is the age rating system used across the UK and most of Europe. The number is the youngest age a game suits; small icons beside it explain why, such as violence, bad language or in-game purchases.

Read the full visitor code

How a game earns its room

One rating out of five, in tenths: an editorial judgement weighed across five things, not a formula. The tier says what the number means in plain words.

Ideas. Is there something here we haven’t seen done this way, and does the game follow it through?
Play. How it feels in the hands, minute to minute and over many hours.
Craft. Art, sound, writing and polish, including how often it breaks.
Welcome. How well it teaches, and the settings and accessibility options that let more people in.
Fair dealing. Respect for your time and money: honest costs, no pressure to pay, no paid random items.

Four tiers, eight rooms

Each step is a tier. The rooms stand on the step their rating reaches.

Questions visitors ask

Search the answers

12 answers, from what our plaques mean to PEGI ratings, in-game purchases and online memberships.

Not here? Write to hello@milentarium.co.uk and a person will reply.

Is Milentarium free to read? Do I need an account?

Yes, it is free, and there is no account to make. We have no subscription, no membership and no payment of any kind. We also run no gambling, prize draws or competitions.

Do you sell games, or let me download them?

No. We do not provide, host or download any games, and we sell nothing. Each review has an Official site button that opens the developer’s or publisher’s own page, where you can see prices, platforms and how to buy.

Are your reviews paid for?

No. Nobody can pay for a place in the collection, a better rating or a kinder word. We carry no adverts and no paid placements, and the reviews are independent editorial opinion.

Is the art on the site official?

No. Every picture is our own original illustration, drawn for Milentarium in the visual style of each game. It is not official artwork or a screenshot. Game names and trademarks belong to their owners.

What does “Plays on” mean?

The platforms a game was released for, such as PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, iPhone or Android. Versions can differ in price, controls and performance, so check the official page for the one you own.

What do the Session and Checkpoint lines tell me?

Session says whether a game is played solo or in co-op, what mood it sets and how long a comfortable sitting is. Checkpoint names a natural place to stop in that particular game, so you can end a session without losing progress or leaving on a cliffhanger.

What does the “Costs” line cover?

What a game can cost after the first purchase: memberships for online play, expansions and other DLC, cosmetic packs, or an in-game shop if it has one. Prices change, so we name what exists and leave the current price to the official page.

What’s the difference between a one-off purchase and free to play?

A one-off purchase means you pay once and get the whole game; extra content, if any, is optional. A free-to-play game costs nothing to download but earns money through in-game purchases, so the real cost depends on how much of its shop you use.

What are in-game purchases and loot boxes?

In-game purchases are anything you buy inside a game with real money, from a costume to a currency. Loot boxes are paid random items: you pay first and find out what you got afterwards. PEGI marks games that sell them with an “In-game purchases (includes random items)” notice.

Do I need a paid membership to play online?

Often, on consoles. Online play in most paid games needs PlayStation Plus, Nintendo Switch Online or an Xbox Game Pass membership, while many free-to-play games don’t. On PC, online play is usually free. Our Costs line says when a game’s multiplayer is part of it.

What is a PEGI age rating?

PEGI is the age rating system for video games in the UK and most of Europe. The number (3, 7, 12, 16 or 18) is the youngest age the game suits, and the content icons explain the reasons. Our Age line points you to the label on the official store page.

What do your rating tiers mean?

Masterpiece (4.7 and up) is a game we would put in front of anyone. Permanent collection (4.3 to 4.6) is excellent and easy to recommend. Worth the visit (3.8 to 4.2) is very good with clear limits. Special interest (below 3.8) is for people who already love its genre.
