I’m new to the cozy gaming world, but it was love at first sight. Stardew was my first truly Cozy Game, but I recently started Cozy Grove (loving it!) and am about to try Sun Haven. I tried one called The Archipelago a couple months ago, but it got a bit repetitive and boring after a while. Breadsticks was cute, but I’m terrible at platformers.
So, I was wondering, what are some of your favorites?
The Sims 4 - mainly the building and decorating part, but making your sim do cozy things makes me relaxed as well.
Unpacking - this is a pretty short game unfortunately, but great for decompressing. You unpack boxes and put someone’s belongings away in their proper place. You learn a little bit about the person through their belongings too
Valheim - most of the time, you need to be on your toes and not get killed, but I enjoy the “chores” that come with managing a base: turning over the crops, smelting all the ore, cutting down and replanting the tree farm, sorting out all the loot , and cooking food for the next adventure
Ah, yes! I love Sims 4, could get lost in it for days, despite being absolutely dreadful at constructing stuff 😅
Unpacking sounds fun! I’ll have to check it out. I’ve played a mobile game that’s similar in theory, but it was pretty shit.
Oh god, Valheim. I love the “chores” aspect, too, but I usually play it with my SO and he’s all about chasing down giants and trolls and getting us killed. Now I’m lowkey terrified to play it alone 😅
Melatonin is a great rhythm game, also Celeste for the first few minutes I enjoy playing until I end up rage quiting for an hour because of how hard it is. Uhhh yeah… melatonin is great!

Littlewood! It’s basically what you’d get if you mixed Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing New Horizons, which are both super cozy in their own right.
Also, Life Quest and Life Quest 2 are games I discovered a decade or so ago that I come back to every couple years. They’re super quick, 1 day games at this point, but they’re a great pick me up.
Ultimate FFXIV endgame, housing.
