Top Audiences Last Week + Grab... Alone With You free for a limited time!

Those three day weekends will leave you wondering what day it is. We're back in action though... and its taco Tuesday? (Whaaaaatttt?) Man my stomach was growling at the thought of it, but steak nachos were on the menu tonight so we have to tuck that away for next week. Shout out to Jennifer from the UK, John from Ireland, and to the undercover gamers we came across. They went from saying they weren't gamers, to kinda sorta gamers.

If you play GTA games, Cyberpunk 2077 and all that... you're a gamer! Don't discount ya'self! And back to Jennifer, shout out to her. She is speaking some sense into someone who doesn't exactly have the nicest views towards games, and their child feels the heat from that. That's soooo not cool, but Jenny is bringing that cool aunt energy to save the day. There are tons of games with different themes, and screen time isn't horrible in moderation. So... we're happy she's pointing her in the direction, and that will include the Parent Street Podcast. (Woohooo!)

Oh and... to say the least, something is brewing with you in mind (Gwahahahaha). No it's not HOBS, that's already... ready for action. It's... something else. HOBS is more helpful, this will be more... funful! I know it's not a word, I'm just being extra. Anyway, it's time for the Top Audiences Last Week!

BioEden Lets You Rebuild a Planet, Rescue Adorable Animals, and Relax… Mostly

If restoring an entire planet sounds stressful, BioEden would like you to reconsider. 🌱

Developed by Broken Arms Games and published by Focus Entertainment, BioEden is a cozy management game that puts you in the role of a Keeper tasked with bringing life back to a barren world. Instead of conquering territory, you're cleaning it up, rebuilding ecosystems, managing resources, and eventually creating comfortable homes for dozens of animal species.

And yes, the animals are adorable.

Once those little creatures start appearing inside the habitats you've worked to restore, there's an extra bit of satisfaction in knowing all that resource management actually resulted in something considerably cuter than another power generator.

Your mission begins by locating debris and recycling it into useful resources. From there, you'll establish systems for necessities such as electricity and water, connect structures together, purify lakes and rivers, restore soil, and gradually transform a damaged environment into something alive again.

You also can't simply throw animals into a dome and yell, “Welcome home!”

Each species has needs, including the proper temperature, humidity, vegetation, and environment. You'll collect DNA samples and prepare suitable biomes so these long-lost animals can return and thrive.

It's management with a purpose—and the cute faces are a plus.

See BioEden in Action

BioEden is easier to understand once you see how building, exploration, resource management, and ecosystem restoration all come together.

What I especially like about the concept is that BioEden doesn't rush you. There are no traditional fail states pushing you into frantic decision-making. You can explore, build and learn how everything works while watching the planet slowly change because of your choices.

That's exactly the sort of thing I want from a cozy game. Unfortunately, there is one area capable of disturbing the peace a little.

Keyboard and Mouse, Please!

If you're playing BioEden on PC, keyboard and mouse is unquestionably the better experience.

This isn't because the game requires lightning-fast reactions. It's because BioEden asks you to interact with a lot of menus, structures, resources and different parts of its UI.

With a mouse, that's wonderfully simple.

Point. Click. Build. Continue saving planet.

Using a controller can make some of those same interactions less intuitive, especially while you're still learning where everything is. BioEden's tutorial does make a genuine effort to teach its controls, but there are moments where knowing how to access something doesn't necessarily make it clear where you're supposed to go next or what you're expected to do once you've opened it.

For gamers who prefer clear step-by-step guidance, a little more direction would help immensely—particularly with a controller.

Something as simple as highlighting the next menu, pointing toward the required UI element, or saying, “Now open this, select this, and place it here,” could bridge that gap.

Because nothing challenges the word cozy quite like staring at your controller thinking:

“Okay... what do you want from me?”

The controller works, but I'd consider it the last resort. Keyboard and mouse turns navigating BioEden into a much smoother experience and lets the actual management gameplay take center stage.

This Could Be a Great Tablet Game

Interestingly, BioEden currently isn't listed for iPad or Android tablets, and I could absolutely see it working there.

A management game built around selecting structures, navigating menus, placing objects and tending ecosystems feels naturally suited to a touchscreen. Tapping a building or dragging around a map could potentially feel even more direct than controller navigation.

Of course, Broken Arms Games would still need to redesign portions of the interface for touch, make sure text and menus scale properly on smaller screens, and optimize performance for mobile hardware.

But conceptually?

BioEden on a nice tablet with touch controls sounds dangerously comfortable.

Couch. Blanket. Tablet. Tiny animals depending on me to rebuild their planet — there goes the afternoon.

The closet tablet-like experience we've got is the Steam Deck and the Switch 2. BioEden is Deck-friendly, just not Deck-tailored. Not yet anyway.

So there may be a little friction while learning how everything works—especially if you're determined to use a controller on PC—but don't let that hide what BioEden does well.

Just give me the keyboard and mouse or a Switch, point me toward the nearest pile of recyclable debris, and tell the animals Sophi is on the way. We've got a planet to fix!

BioEden is available now on Steam, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Top Audiences Last Week + Grab... Cardpocalypse free for a limited time!

Not much activity this week, but we're headed into the Halloween Horror Nights window here in Orlando... and the candy day vibes are starting to kick in. My toothbrush will be working overtime!

Shout out to Craig & Caleb, they were tearing up some tacos yesterday (going in). You know how you see someone tearing up some food and it just looks that good? Now it's Tuesday, and I'm on a mission... to see if my mom is in the mood to make some tacos!

I (kinda sorta possibly) bought everything already, so I hope so... or I'll have to make them and know they could've been so much better. I'd be like Shawn Wayans when he played Ashtray in Don't Be a Menace... holding a taco up like WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

Prayers up for everyone in Gary, Indiana and other locations facing power outages. We have an upcoming Tech This Out episode that some the everyday heroes will appreciate. Canada kicked a few teeth out this week!

Anyway... let's jump into the Top Audiences Last Week!
