APICO is the latest game in the sims genre, combining elements from Stardew Valley, Graveyard Keeper and Animal Crossing. Join your grandfather's beekeeping business on an island and craft, build and breed bees to discover extinct species. Experience a chilled adventure as you create your own unique world.


What we like:
  • Crafting and building features are easy to pick up on
  • Chilled experience which allows you to complete the game at your own pace
  • Incorporates science into fun gameplay
What could be improved:
  • Initial NPCs lack personality compared to similar games
  • Tasks can be time consuming once you have a rhythm going
