Ranking Every Cozy Game I've Played This Year!

What cozy games have you played and loved / hated this year?

your voice is so calming i love it. thank you for doing this!! as a steam deck and nintendo switch girlie i always appreciate ur content sm ❤

The only game on this list that I have is Garden Life (LOVING the game and can't wait for the QoL update that is in the testing phase right now!), but one of my other YouTubers is doing a Let's Play of Little Kitty Big City and I'm enjoying that (and I agree...totally Untitled Goose Game vibes!!!)! In terms of other games I'm enjoying so far in 2024, I continue to enjoy playing Harvest Moon: Winds of Anthos and Fae Farm (new DLC getting ready to come out!) and most recently I have started playing Endless Ocean : Luminous, which has been enjoyable, too (not quite what I was expecting, but still good!). Hope you are having a great day!

My favorite are Bandle Tale and Little Kitty Big City.. I need to finish both games. I've been into Stardew since the update.

i loved bandle tale im so surprised its so low for you!!

love this video ashley! i really need to play eastward. i'm interested in the base game too, so i really need to get to both!

Thanks for this video! I played and finished Botany Manor recently, it was such a wonderful experience! Same with Little Kitty, that was a lot of fun, if a little short as you said :D Otherwise, still playing BOTW and Little Known Galaxy at a slower pace. Also finished a game called Melatonin last night, a rhythm game with beautiful artwork, I totally suck at rhythm games, but still somehow managed to beat the different levels thanks to some "helper parameters" (no, I didn't use them all, just some :D). It was a fun experience that I totally recommend if the art appeals to you ^^ (Though, perhaps don't play it before bed... last night I kept dreamin with some stuff that had to be done in rhythm... it was a bit tiring XD)

Bandle Tale is sooooo easy when you come form playing Graveyard Keeper, it is basically the same game mechanics with different items to craft. That's why I get why you didn't like Bandle Tale, I went through the same experience playing Graveyard Keeper the first time, that game studio should learn to give the player clear instructions

Botany Manor is on my list of games to get but I was waiting to hear how it played on the Switch since that's the one I want to get. Glad to know there were no issues. I also want to get the Princess Peach game too since I loved the demo. I am glad you liked the baking one, I am not the biggest fan of it because my hand and eye coordination for that isn't that great lol. As far as recent cozy games I've played, well for the past few months I've been playing the 1.6 update to my fav farming sim, Stardew Valley, and have been loving. I am in the late game now in my 4th year and just had my 2nd kid lol. I have been playing other games, but I wouldn't call them cozy. Another cozy game I played is the update to a visual novel demo called Our Life: Now and Forever. Love the franchise. Most new games I have played in general have been demos, like I did the demo to Europa and I know I am going to love that one because it's a cozy platformer. My most anticipated game of the year though is coming out in early access this year, Fields of Mistria, with that anime aesthetic lol. It's another farming sim. The price is under $15 on Steam, OMG, that's a steal if you ask me. I am also looking forward to the 1.1 Coral Island Update because I haven't turned it since December because I wanted to wait for the Mermaid romance and the 'main story quest ending'.

My favorite 2024 cozy games so far are Echoes of the Plum Grove, Bandle Tale, and Fabledom.

I had such a similar experience with Bandle Tale. I had to fight so hard to figure anything out. I personally feel that the emotion bubbles are broken. If you kept getting emotion points for crafting and collecting longer, even in a smaller quanitity, you could actually progress. I literally got stuck in the game because I couldn't get enough emotion points to get the correct items on the skill tree that I didn't know I needed till the quest came up. It's beyond frustrating because I wouldn't even mind grinding a little. You can't do that when you get zero points for doing things after a very short time doing them. So disappointed!

I just started coffee caravan last night and I like it 😊

Sky definitely wasn't clear on what to do, not a you problem. I didn't like it for that reason.. I need a handholding option🙈

No new here other than Sticky Business. I like that one while I’m watching Friends at night. It does run really well on switch. I end up using touch screen 90% of the time.

Im still playing coral island
