What exactly are
cozy games ?

"Cozy games" existed as early as 1996, but the term wasn't coined until 2016. Cozy games describe types of games that are low stress, joyful and bite-sized. Different elements of cozy games tend to be life or farming simulating, low risk, and relaxing either through texts, colors, music, or character types.

Although I missed the Harvest Moon era, The Sims was my first introduction to cozy goodness.

As a teen, I was excited to buy a home, decorate the interior and exterior, and customize my adult self. Today, cozy games can even go beyond life simulation, and put the gamer in a fantasy world.

My current, favorite cozy games include Animal Crossing: New Horizons, a game where the player becomes the owner of an island they can decorate and move in animal villagers, Cozy Grove, where players own an explanding camping site where one has to free the spirit of different bear scouts, Stardew Valley, where one inherits their grandfather's farm and bring it back to life, and finally Spiritfarer, where one is a single shipmate, readying the ship as home for animal-like ghost spirits needing to get home. Cozy games are the perfect getaway for a relaxing, fun, and comfy vibe directly from your home.
