Tiny Epic games

My wife and I have recently gotten into Tiny Epic boardgames. Examples include Tiny Epic Dinosaurs and Tiny Epic Dungeons.

Who else has played these games and others from the makers of the Tiny Epic games? Which are the best?

Note: tiny Epic dungeons is a hard one but still fascinating

I only played Tiny Epic Galaxies from the series, but I enjoyed it quite a lot! Especially since it can be played solo and at multiple difficulties. Plus I also used its solo rules to adapt it for cooperative play, and it worked relatively well. So I certainly can recommend this one! :3
It's more a strategy than an adventure or an RPG, if it matters.

I read the rules for tiny Epic galaxy on the Dized app and it seems like an interesting one, competitive but not bloodthirsty

That's probably a very apt description! I never got a chance to play it competitively, but there aren't that many ways to mess with other players directly. ..Its solo mode is pretty bloodthirsty, though. XD

My wife prefers games that are either:
- competitive but not designed to encourage you to screw over the other player often (good examples: carcasone and splendor)
- cooperative but not super tense (tiny epic dungeons is too tense for her, as you need to play a specific way or else you have very low victory odds)

Hmm, have you ever looked at legacy games? If you two are at all into worker placement economic games, you might want to check out Charterstone! It's a pretty interesting legacy/campaign game about building a village, with a mix of competitive and cooperative objectives, a cute art style and some very nice components. (Admittedly it is pricey, as all legacies tend to be, but you do get a lot of fun stuff to unlock as you progress. Plus its field is two-sided and you can buy a recharge pack to replay the campaign one extra time for a smaller price.)
There is not a lot of ways to mess with other players - it's mostly competitive in terms of who gets the most points - and I don't think it has an objectively correct way to play, so not very tense. I do like this game a lot! It also has a digital version, but I can't vouch for that one.

Also, Codenames is just a fun series all around if you like association games. :D
