Yesterday we got a great look at what the future of wholesome gaming will bring us. While there are always going to be games focused on competitive and intense atmospheres, it is good to see that the other side of the game industry is thriving just as well. Showing off these games in a single collective showcase simply called the Wholesome Direct 2022 was likely the best idea because this isn’t a short list by any means. That said, here’s each game shown off in the direct.

These games range from adventuring to farming to simply exploring and so much more. They released a surprising number of titles during this direct, so it is definitely worth the hour-long showcase to see what all is in store for each title. Personally, I’ll be keeping my eyes on The Wandering Village, SkateBIRD, Calico, and a few others. Which of these games are you most interested in?
