Stack City

Stack City is the kind of casual game you open for two minutes and close forty minutes later. You drag tiles to build districts, keep roads connected, and unlock new building types as your town grows. It's simple, but there's a quiet satisfaction in a perfectly laid-out block.

There isn't much challenge here, and that's the point. It's a low-stress toy for winding down. The one nitpick is that mid-game slows down a bit — you'll wait on unlocks longer than feels ideal. Still, as a relaxing filler between heavier games, it does its job well.

What we liked

• Genuinely relaxing, low-stress loop
• Simple drag-to-build controls
• Great for short breaks
