My Favourite Cosy Games

Stardew Valley

SV was my first cosy game in years, and on the Switch. It's like a well polished Harvest Moon. I played Harvest Moon as a kid but never made much progress. I just enjoyed running around the farm and talking to towns people.



This is the layout of my main and first farm.

Roots of Pacha

ROP is like Stardew Valley if you took away any combat, added some more puzzle-related challenges, and set it in pre-historic times. I adore this game so much and as of March 2025, I am very into it again. I have one save file and my goal is to get all the rare animals. This game is the ultimate cosy game in this genre, IMO. There's no need to rush, no time limits, no missing out on anything, and you can even make the day go longer.


My Time at Sandrock

MTAS is cosy but it's less relaxing than ROP. The resource collecting in this game scratches an itch for me. I love running around and exploring, and the storyline is good too! It feels good to complete missions and see progression.


Humongous Entertainment Games

I can't express how much I LOVE Humongous Ent. When I was about 4, a guy came to our old house and installed some games onto our family computer. Our computer room was the best! It was this little room that you had to access by climbing a ladder. It was suspended above the entry section/loungeroom of our 2-story house. I remember Skunny was one of the first games installed, which introduced me to gaming. A few years later, there was a computer shop near my house which sold a bunch of CD roms with games on them.

The day came where we got Putt-Putt, Fatty Bear, Freddi Fish, Let's Play, and Spy Fox. Putt-Putt goes to the moon and/or Fatty Bears Birthday Surprise were my first games. I ended up buying a package of games on Steam so I can replay these any time I want!
