BEST Cozy Games of 2023 (and WORST!)

I'm gonna say something controversial yet brave, I hope 2024 turns cozy games more towards unique things, like season: a letter to the future, jusant, spiritfarer. The farm sim is tired, she has chronic fatigue, let's give her some rest for 2024!

I’m absolutely obsessed with Dave the diver. I started playing before Christmas and I cannot put it down

Can I just say you are one of the best actual descriptive creator I’ve watched, idk if it’s just me but I feel like a lot of creators just talk about how much they love the game and never really about the game. So thank you, you can tell you put in hard work in your videos :)

Love love love the ease of this list! I was just telling my partner I usually avoid list recs because I find a lot of creators just talk about how much they loved it and not what to expect with the game itself. I appreciate you gave us the perfect blend of your thoughts and experience and the facts! Your little game cards were so helpful because I often write down recs to find out I don't have the right platform.

literally had the worst day at work, but this is such a pick me up!! feels like I got to chat with a friend about games for a while ❤ I am just absolutely obsessed with your videos right now! Thank you for all you do!

When I stumbled upon your channel, you inspired me to get my cozy life together. Thanks for sharing with us.

I'm a Zelda girly and I like opening the map up first and doing side quests hahah. BUT! I'll definitely get to the main story. BOTW and TOTK open up the world to play Zelda the way YOU want to play it! Without judgement 😊

The way you were so spot on about Dreamlight valley, I’m new to switch, I got mine back in the beginning of 2023 and the way I felt so exhausted playing DDV, i took a few months off from playing my switch because of it.

So glad you mentioned Venba, it was truly so touching and the perfect cozy amount of challenge and puzzle. Love when I have to think but not struggle!

I have been watching your videos and content for a while now and I love how homey, cozy, and relaxing your content is! Your recommendations always feel so genuine and as a cozy gamer, crafter, and work hard play hard girly I am so happy to see this list! With the winter sales going on right now I'm happy to have some direction with which games I should spring for or leave for another time ❤ I love your content and I'm always so excited to see when your videos upload!

DDV is one of my absolute favorite games, I have never paid real money (other than the actual game itself) & I’ve had it well before recently during its first stages and seeing it develop into what it is today with all the new realms, the dream snaps and the DLC it’s a phenomenal game in my opinion. There is a crazy amount of things to do, so many biomes, so many things to collect, so many quests and relationships to form. I think the creators of this game have worked so hard to make this a game to be loved by many, while I can agree with some controversy, I as a whole personally believe it’s great, I’m addicted. Lol… I’d give it a shot for what it is now.

Came for the video title, stayed for your curls

Yay! I loved the “straight scoop” on all the games - favorites or least favorites. Now I know how I plan to game shop in 2024! I totally trust your opinion because I can relate to you and your style. Cali girl here but from Los Angeles and move to the Bay Area as an adult☺️ Thanks Kennedy and Happy New Year 🎊✨🧡

Genuinely get happy whenever ken posts😌

I was so shocked you put Dreamlight Valley in the worst category. But I'm a new gamer and just got my switch in October and it's currently the only game I have for that console. So for me I guess it makes sense. I never buy the moonstones 😅 I definitely want to check out Palia since you mentioned that it's free. Love your videos - gaming and cozy hobbies. Makes me so relaxed and inspired.

When you mentioned Tchia and the soul jumping I immediately thought of "Lost Ember," which is a game I backed on Kickstarter a decade ago with a very similar mechanic. If you've never heard of it, I would highly recommend it; the soul jumping between animals is very fun and it has a beautifully touching narrative too!

I have a backlog of games I need to complete, but this video is nice for when I do catch up and wanna play something different. Been enjoying Coffee Talk as of late. Happy New Years!

Kennedy! I would love to see a Let's Play of you trying out a Nancy Drew PC game. Not just anyone, though! I think specifically for you, I would recommend Warnings at Waverly Academy, Danger on Deception Island, or Last Train to Bluemoon Canyon as a first game. HER Interactive is releasing a new game, hopefully soon! Love your content :)

I’m so happy I found your channel! I’m new to cozy games after getting into acnh. This video was so helpful in learning the different “types” of cozy games. Now I know I definitely like a little dialogue, mail time & witchy life story look soooooo cute!
