Pony Island
Factorio

RimWorld
Ecco the dolphin.
I never owned a Sega but my dad had one and this game. I wasn’t there often enough to get good at it but I loved it. Great game.
UFO50! Most of those games are very cutesy, upbeat, and warm in their art + sound design. At least a dozen games will cater to your taste and are bound to turn into favorites.

Momodora?
