Driftwood Isles

Driftwood Isles is a gentle adventure game about sailing between hand-drawn islands and poking at everything you find. There's a light main quest, but most of the joy comes from wandering, solving small environmental puzzles and meeting odd little characters.

The art style is warm and watercolored, and the whole thing moves at a calm pace. You tap to move, interact and sail, which keeps it accessible without feeling shallow. Each island hides a few secrets that reward curiosity.

We liked that it never nags you with timers or pressure. It's the sort of game you play before bed, discovering one more cove, then putting the phone down happy.

What we liked

• Beautiful hand-drawn island art
