You are in for a furry treat with these games! – New

Let’s talk about bears. No, not those that are in nature. We’re talking about the insufferably cute (and sometimes furious) bears in the game! We found a group of games where you can take your paws and enjoy the company of bears. While they may not act like our typical forest pals, each bear brings their own distinct charm to every game.

Bear and breakfast:

In this casual management adventure game, you play as Hank, a well-meaning bear trying to run a B+B in the woods. Find an abandoned cabin and fix it for unsuspecting tourists. But be careful, as your business grows, so do the mysteries of the forest.

Super Smash Bro. Ultimate:

Gaming icons go head-to-head in the ultimate brawl! Compete locally* or online** in 1v1, 4-player free-for-all, or 8-player battles. You can even expand your roster of fighters with a variety of paid DLC*** content. In Challenger Pack 3, you can take on the competition as Banjo & Kazooie of the Banjo-Kazooie™ series!

Lumberjack:

Jack is a humble bear with a simple dream: to restore nature to its former glory with the help of his trusty ax and his animal friends. Slice and dice machines, solve puzzles and work with wacky woodland creatures to thwart the sinister plans of up-and-coming industrial giant, Evil Works.

Cozy grove:

Go camping on a haunted and ever-changing island as a Spirit Scout. But don’t worry, you’ll have good bear neighbors to keep you company. Take a daily walk through the island’s forest, uncover hidden secrets and help appease local ghosts. With a little time and a lot of DIY, you’ll bring color and joy back to Cozy Grove!

The OlliOlli world:

Flip and traverse the vibrant world of Radlandia in this skateboarding action platformer. Connect with colorful characters as you grind, cheat, and air your way to uncover the mystical gods of skate in your quest for Gnarvana. But be on your toes – word is that Grizzly Rapids has a water-loving bear that loves to race.

Astro Bear:

Do you like bears in spacesuits? Well, you’ve come to the right place! In this competitive board game, you can choose from eight different Astro Bears with different playstyles and, of course, different space suits. Battle with friends in Competitive Mode or work together in Jetfish Hunting.
