Super Bear Adventure – Switch and mobile
Personally, I think Super Bear Adventure looks a lot like some of the old Spyro games, which makes sense seeing as it’s inspired by late 90s 3D platformers.
Play as a blocky brown bear and explore six open-world levels to collect coins, unlock hats, and free your friends. If you’re looking for more nostalgia, check out our lists of Crash Bandicoot games and Sonic games.
Bear and Breakfast – Switch
Have you ever dreamt of running a bed and breakfast with your friends? Have you ever dreamt of doing it as a bear? In Bear and Breakfast, you play as Hank the bear who, along with his friends, sets up a B+B in the woods to make some extra cash.
This resource management sim is filled with interesting characters and plenty of hidden lore to get your paws on. Check out our Bear and Breakfast Switch review for a more detailed look at the gameplay.
Rilakkuma Farm – mobile
Join Rilakkuma and his adorable friends Korilakkuma and Kiiroitori as they work on a farm to grow the tastiest treats around! Fulfill orders for your neighbors and taste-test your creations.
This game is super simple and calming to play when you have a few minutes spare, and you can decorate your farm to suit your tastes. I mean, who doesn’t love a farm game?
We Bare Bears: Quest for NomNom – mobile
Grizzly, Panda, and Ice Bear are on your phone! These loveable bear brothers from Cartoon Network’s We Bare Bears need your help to teach NomNom the koala a lesson for kicking them out of his limo.
Play as your favorite member of the trio for some platforming fun. We love all three of these adorable bear friends!
Bear’s Restaurant – Switch and mobile
Whoever said games about bears couldn’t be wholesome and heartwarming? Bear’s Restaurant is a touching exploration of the end of life played through the eyes of a cat working in the afterlife’s best restaurant.
You and the bear chef must figure out the perfect final meal for each of your newly deceased customers so that they can rest easy for eternity. This one’s sure to bring a tear to your eye.
Epic Dumpster Bear 2 – Switch
A sequel to the cult classic Epic Dumpster Bear, this game is an action-packed platformer featuring the titular bin-dwelling bear. This title is another great throwback pick as it’s based on 16-bit games from the past but with the exceptional performance of today’s games.
Boss battles, speedrun medals, and secret medals await in this platforming adventure.
LumbearJack – Switch
I can only imagine how angry our animal friends are about how humans are destroying their habitats. I mean, some of us humans are angry about it too!
LumbearJack puts you in the position of one such animal, Jack the bear, as he uses his trusty axe to destroy human industrial sites and restore them to their natural state for him and his friends.
Bear Bakery – mobile
If you’re looking for a super calming mobile game with bears, Bear Bakery might be the paw-fect pick for you. Use merging mechanics to make hundreds of different baked goods and buy furniture to decorate a wellness room for your loyal employees.
Warning – this game might make you hungry with its beautiful anime-style baked goods.
Zenless Zone Zero – mobile
One of our favorite Zenless Zone Zero characters is Ben Bigger, the math-obsessed bear from Belobog Industries. As of the second closed beta, Zenless Zone Zero’s Ben is the only playable bear, but we’ve seen other big, fluffy NPCs so we hope this is the beginning of a trend!
Zenless Zone Zero is a fantasy action game from the creators of Honkai Star Rail, Genshin Impact, and Honkai Impact 3rd, so you know you’re in good hands with this one.
Astro Bears – Switch
A lot of these bear games can be very solitary experiences, so why not give Astro Bears a go? This local multiplayer title lets you play as an awesome spacefaring bear (or non-bear, if you get the DLC), running around a planet making a trail and trying to avoid others’ trails.
It’s a bit like Snake, but 3D and in space and with bears. So, not really like Snake. It is on our list of the best Switch multiplayer games though, and it’s perfect for those annoying days when your internet decides to cut out.
That’s everything for our list of the best bear games. If you need a change from these grizzly guys, check out our lists of the best Barbie games, Lego games, and Sonic games next.
