Celeste, despite the difficulty, the game’s artstyle and storytelling was so well executed that my motivation to continue and improve crushed any frustration there possible could’ve been, even in the most difficult levels.
Normally I’m normally not that patient with games, so yeah, Celeste cozy af.
It’s good for a few more hours! I’m looking forward to trying Dorfromantik, and I don’t think it’s exactly cozy, but I’ve heard great things about Baba is You.
Animal Crossing New Horizons, especially when participating in online play. To me there’s just such a weird competitiveness in creating the best “dollhouse”
I don’t feel like I’m competing but boy do I go hard when someone’s shop has something that I don’t have yet. NO you can’t disconnect the session yet. I’m still buying your pink elephant shovels and every pair of socks in your shop!!!
My island is a mess. I’m a collector not a designer ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I tried Palia these last few days and it is great with a really nice wholesome community! Already had some fun cooking and flow tree parties.
At least for now, there is no furniture behind a paywall. You get your own plot and can decorate and furnish it and it looks great. This is rare in free to play games. I hope they keep it that way…
The only stuff behind microtransactions as of today are a handful of costumes. With hefty prices, though. At least for the European market. One costume costs 20 to 35 Euro, if I remember correctly.
There are a lot of players already, the Discord alone had some 70k people yesterday evening. 0o
Any game in easy mode. But none of these games lasts the longest without challenges, even minecraft stops being cozy when you find yourself spending all your time digging.
The only one I’ve played from the Humble one is Alba but I agree it was a genuinely lovely game, thoroughly enjoyed it.
I don’t know a whole lot about Fanatical or their business model but I’ve also bought Steam games from there in the past without any trouble, they seem pretty legit.
Stardew is top tier cozy. Would also put animal crossing new horizons on that list.
Spiritfarer is another commonly recommended one. More of a linear story though.
Moonlighter is an older game I liked. Has some combat like the mines in stardew, but also you run a little store selling your treasures during the day 💎
Untitled Goose Game is a short cozy game.
Thanks for making this post! it came across my feed and helped me find this community :)
I don’t know if it’s necessarily the sort of thing most people here would count, but I thoroughly enjoyed Cats In Time. It’s just a simple, casual, extremely cute, hidden object cat game with very little thought required. I found it adorable and extremely relaxing.
The mum game of all mum games in my experience is The Sims. I've got mine hooked on Sims 2 by accident and it's actually fairly innocent if your playing style is.
Even though any simmer will unavoidably become a genocidal maniac, at some point. But for sensitive people, this might still be a good game.
However, if that's too dark still (because even Sims 4, the most innocent entry, can have inter-character drama), maybe some farming games may work. The kind you'd find on Facebook. Mine is playing those a lot, but I can only think of Farmerama, right now. But that can also be a money milking machine.
I didn’t even think of the Sims, that’s a good suggestion. Thank you! The drama is okay, it’s more like murder cases and stuff that she doesn’t like.
Free games unfortunately all have item shops and those waiting times for crops to grow, she doesn’t play on her mobile because she doesn’t like these kind of features. Her gold standard in games is SimCity. If I had to guess than I’d say she played that one for 1000 hours.
