What's your favorite cute game?

agony unrated.

Speed Dating for Ghosts, there are some really cute characters there, but it also mixes up with some funny stories and even some that get pretty emotional.

Monster Hunter World

A Hat in Time reigns supreme in terms of cute games, since it's hella cute and a really good game.
I'd also give a shoutout to Overcooked, Castle Crashers, Cave Story, all Shantae games and Slime Rancher.

Cheeky Chooks

World of Goo, Amanita Design games

Recettear. Captalism ho! no question ask.

Cuteness ? Yoshi's Woolly World is what comes first to my mind.

Stardew Valley
Slime Rancher
Hollow Knight
de blob & de blob 2
Plantera
Sprout (free on Steam)
Rubber Ducky and the Rainbow Gun
Figment
Hidden Folks
Squidlit

Does it have to be a PC game? Shounen Ashibe on the SNES is about the most adorable thing I've ever seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FaYMc7R__I

I have quite a few, but right now its Table Top Racing: World Tour

Resident Evil 2:
Lickers and Mr X are cute.

Given the first page covered all the ones I would have suggested, I'll add in Night Blights and Chroma Squad.

Night Blights is actually a cheesy FNAF-style horror but with free roaming, where you have to respond to audio cues and run to the corresponding location to counter/shoo the invading blight monster. The monsters themselves aren't scary and have a goofy "monster under the bed" kind of voice, but it does have a dumb jumpscare when you lose (the most startling part being the musical audio sting at the end of the jumpscare itself which is far too loud).

Chroma Squad for goofy sentai-squad shenanigans and a soundtrack that grows on you. Laugh if you must, but I seriously ended up listening to that thing while on my exercise bike, it's catchy <3

Pikuniku also just released a little while ago, but I haven't had chance to play that yet. Looks all kinds of fun though.

EarthBound

Dust: An Elysian Tail
Freedom Planet
Ori and the Blind Forest
Child of Light
MagiCat
Shantae games
Momodora III

.......Patapon i guess?

I'm scared by the lack of Animal Crossing. Also shamelessly waiting on Mineko's Night Market.

The Big Journey

Ephemerid.

Slime Rancher for sure
Katamari series (I really should get reroll one of these days)
Pikuniku to name a very recent title
Super Monkey Ball is one of my favorites too.
Human Resource Machine & 7 Billion Humans look cute. Their stories run on black comedy though

That would be Nostale.

I haven't played it in... maybe a decade or so, but the things you fought, the ones you tamed and the tamed ones that fought for you were cute.

I really loved this one
