That’s perfection It’s time to start playing cozy games. And by cozy games, I mean the opposite of what you might think. For some people, video games are places of noise, fierce competition, and fierce leaderboards. The best cozy games express the opposite feeling. They are indifferent but not uninvolved; Inviting but not harassing. They are intended to evoke feelings of warmth, comfort and peace. In my opinion, they are best enjoyed alone with a cup of tea.
I’ve always loved cozy games, but the colder months are when I enjoy playing them the most. Take advantage of the opportunity and add a few game library. It’s important to note that “cozy” is relative—if it makes you feel warm and cozy, it’s cozy. These are my favorites.
