Sometimes a game is a reinvention of the original, but others it's not much more than a fresh coat of paint - and that's not necessarily a bad thing. After entering early access in 2022, Slime Rancher 2 is out in full, and while it doesn't cover much ground that the first Slime Rancher didn't already get to, it's still a supremely relaxing, gorgeous farming sim that's easy to get lost in.

The Farmer Was Replaced requires you to program a drone to automate repetitive farming tasks as you attempt to become the world's most efficient farmer. To do that, you need to use a Python-like language, which makes the game look like a fun, beginner-friendly introduction to the programming language (see our pick of the best game development software if you want to realise your own dream game).

The remake of the 2008 Nintendo DS hit, Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, launches August 27 with two physical editions available for preorder.
