Cozy Games, it's definitely a category should be exist in the game awards. We need more cozy games, the life it's too stressful in nowadays.

As someone who primarily plays shooter games or zombie games or other types of super violent stuff I do quite enjoy relaxing and playing some animal crossing.

I love comfort games, but not every comfort game has a cute art style. I love games like Minecraft and RDR2, even though RDR2 has a depressing story and can be competitive at times, if you go out and explore and find cool mechanics there are some very wholesome moments you'll find if you like stuff like fishing, hunting, or just riding your horse, etc. We need more games that are stress-free

i feel like Cult of the Lamb really scratches that itch of relaxing and play at your own pace, and getting some action/challenge in at the same time. I really do think more games should hybridize like that.

Quitting competitive multiplayer games and returning to single player games is by far the best gaming decision I have made, it not only showed me the beauty of gaming through its multiple experiences but it also improved my mental health because I’m not getting angry all the time.

One of the weirdest but wholesome experience during 2020 is doom and animal crossing cute cozy relationship. Both games made you feel relaxed in a different way.

Even though its technically a horror game, Dredge is my favourite comfort game. Its the only game i fully 100%ed (even doing more than the achivements) and i loved every second of it. Dredge made me realize that indies are way more worth your money and time. Just being able to chill out and play something relaxing is something that i think alot of people need to experience.

I loved Stardew Valley ever since I first bought it. When I introduced the game to my boyfriend, I was at year 7 and already unlocked Ginger Island and had a lot of progression in the game. A few weeks after I got him into the game, I see my boyfriend is already at Ginger Island and even had upgraded his weapon before I got to that point. 😂 My boyfriend was dedicated! Lol

Dredge is a cozy game for people who like disturbing looking fish (me) It’s gameplay loop is simple and fits into the cozy category with you going fishing, playing the luring mini game then going back to port and upgrading your boat, and has grid-based inventory management (epic) but has that horror edge and beautiful artstyle that is also disturbing (and reminds me slightly of dishonored) I need more horror-atmosphere-but-surprisingly-cozy games

This cracks me up, because when I game in more focused genres I do this in reverse. I want the cutest outfit. I spend an hour in character creator. I want to find the cutest or fluffiest creatures. I want to team up, rather than compete, as much as possible. You get the idea.

I found myself in a similar position a few years ago. Playing tons of CS:GO and R6 was actually changing my behavior outside the game to being impatient, angry, and overall competitive. When I finally stepped away from those I started to enjoy video games again. It still took a number of tries to get into cozy games but eventually it clicked.

My bench-press is 390lbs, and I have 1,400 hours on New Horizons, and 600 hours on Stardew Valley.

Animal crossing is more masculine than overwatch.

my Gaming Routine is mostly 75% cozy and 25% pvp... and sometimes i groan when i want to do pvp, because i know how there's a possibility that it might ruin my day.

This was awesome! You made this video about your life and channel lore just so you could make us comfortable about leaving our comfortably uncomfortable zone of competitive video games. Doing gods work

When you decide to touch virtual grass.

This is one of those channels that I find on accident and just love immediately. Just the way you talk about games remind me of how my games library also shifted throughout the years

we are competitive by nature, even for cozy games you can find speedruns to bring some stress back to the game, but is always nice to play something outside your comfort zone either to discover a new favorite genre or to see differently the ones you already have, but it only works if we gave them a fair chance with a clear and open mind, what am I saying? maybe is just another excuse to annoy people to play outer wilds

I hate RAID adverts

Thank you for making this video, as a guy who also can't really stand the competitive scene of most video games, this was a super relatable topic :)

I mainly play JRPGs but play plenty of cozy games in between like Stardew, Short Hike, Cozy Grove. I find that it’s like a palate refresher after delving deep into heavy lore type of games. I hope you make more videos in the future about your progress in the cozy games!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="435">7:15</a> is pure comedic gold. Thank you so much! I personally am the complete opposite. I play cozy games only. Like the really really slow paced ones. I think plattformers are stressful and haven’t touched a shooter even once. I will try them some day but for now im stuck in my cozy space. Have a great day!

Dude your videos are absolutly fantastic. You have such a chill and relaxing tone while still being funny. You are going places brother.

This is one of the best videos I've seen in a while. It reminds me of myself and I'm grateful that I've been able to find different ways to become happy outside my comfort zone. The way you explain your experiences is an eye opener, and it's truly great. Im sure many people would acknowledge what they truly desire for themselves after watching this.

good for you man for diversing your gaming taste I myself barely play shooters now and just go with whatever that feels and looks interesting despite the genre and I'm glad more people are doing the same

So as a girl that grew up playing games from the age of 5, i mainly played zelda, mario ect and Rpgs on ps2. When i got a computer at 13 i started being obsessed with shooters and mainly played those for a HUGE chunk of my life. Now im 30 and rediscovering cozy, chill and relaxing games has honestly been the best thing ever, me and my husband both have animal crossing and we sit on the couch and just play on each others islands after a long day of work. We save the weekends for shooters with friends lol

I've recently played "A short hike" and I felt exactly the same, i didn't know what to do and just played around a bit, and apparently there was a story to it and I accidentally finished it without knowing, it was a nice experience and a nice story, and i recommend thay game to anybody who wants to just chill

vintage story has to be a recent cozy game for me. the cooking and the survival is so nice. every sound effect is gorgeous, and the crafting is amazing and immesive

I've sunk a total of 1000 hrs on apex before i quit the game. 95% of those hours were solo and complete misery. My best friend got me to play a cozy game called Stardew about a year or two ago, and i still have yet to feel like i get the games point. But i think im getting there, and this certainly helped. Cool vid dude

Despite my love for fighting, (sometimes) shooting, and competitive games, I still like to play cozy games as well. One I can name is Minecraft, and while it does have fighting elements (I.E killing hostile mobs), I tend to like mining and building more. Mining, to me, is very satisfying, especially after mining tons of ores, and with the materials that I've mined, I can build my own base, which is just as satisfying, especially when I take a step to look back at what I built.

thanks for making this video! just picked up stardew valley again after letting it marinade in my steam library for 4 years and couldn’t be happier. But the urge to min max the fun out of the game does come and go

Never seen his competitive phase, but he makes great videos about smaller games that I’ve enjoyed. Love the content, can’t wait for more!

This is not a silly video at all. I'm really happy you had this growth.

Holy fuck you keep churning out S-tier vids, very quickly becoming one of my favorite creators. You genuinely inspire me dude, thank you!

The problem I have with trying to define "cozy" as a genre is people are throwing anything with a cute art style as cozy. I've seen cozy game youtubers talk about fast paced platformers as cozy because it had a cute art style. I kinda like the term chill, cus there are a lot of games that are super chill and not stressful that don't have the cute art style so don't get lumped in with cozy. Like snowrunners or Power wash simulator. but overall I do love a no stress game to play to decompress or with my gf after a game of sweaty FPS and other action games.

brother i can relate to you! thank you for making this video it touched my heart i faced the same feelings and took a break from shooters fps compi games and started playing stardew vallye! it is fun

I'm middle of the road. Factory games like factorio feel manly with the industrial building and alien squashing, while having the vibe of a cozy game.

i feel like life is strange was the first game that properly got me out of constantly playing fps competetive games, i had watched a lets play of it years and years ago, but I still got so immersed playing it for myself for the first time, and after beating it I began to play more singleplayer games, and even non fps games, I've always been a variety gamer but life i strange really pushed me to play more games and expand on the genres I play, the bioshock series also helped with that, it got me into atmospheric immersive games aswell. Essentially what im saying is, play life is strange 1 and before the storm. Play bioshock 1 and infinite Also common W video angyl

I first discovered you when you make your risk of rain 2 video. Love the content you make, it's great to see someone talk about games they thoroughly enjoy like this.

ive also passed through that phase and im still kind of in the middle of the crossroad, its when you go from vinland saga season 1 to season 2

Delightful video man. I hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of the new games you're trying!

This is basically my story as well. Had like 2000+ hours in Valorant and CS combined but at the end of the day they just didn't seem fun anymore more like the opposite tbh. Now I play mostly cozy games and story based ones and started having actual fun with gaming again.

this video got me to play Dinkum, two weeks and I'm already at 40 hours just playing around my work schedule, haha! so thank you!! it's such a fun little game, and I needed it after I just burnt myself out on Stardew and ACNH

Just recently discovered Dave the Diver and I love it so much I'm obessessed with it! Its right down the cozy lane, where its so enjoyable, relaxing and fun. You dive in the sea during the day, collect fish and materials you find below water and use them to make sushi in the evening, collect coins and upgrade while having a really interesting engaging storytelling meeting new characters and unlocking new stuff. I highly recommend!

I love your videos. These are like the deep dive movie videos I watch on Nerdstalgic. They at least have the same vibe.

I still can't get over how good is Harvest Moon back to the nature. I'm not gonna lie I kinda miss games like this.

This is actually really good! You deserve way more subscribers broski.

Playing stardew valley is manlier than playing overwatch!

at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="749">12:29</a> you get a discord notification i found that funny and i checked my own discord thinking it was me

Good storytelling and the videos are pretty well done, just found the channel but i like it now

We love when angyl uploads! Great video as usual. Loving the edits man. Been loving these videos 😊 personally risk of rain 2 has been my favorite game the last year and a half.

I wish i had friends that would understand that not every game either Tells you what to do with a quest log or has guns that allow you a competitive advantage. One of my friends at the gym was dunking on me for playing Slime Rancher when a absolute BEAST of a man walks up to us and says he enjoys it more than any gane hes played, and then left, I really wanna see that man play.

youre actually so funny bro, def subscribing, keep up the great work ❤

One great tip from someone who was like this, if you want to try out different games I always recommend to play what’s most popular or what was nominated for game of the year as those games are usually turn out to be the best games.

love ur editing style keep it up man u deserve a lot more subs

this is a neat little video to find, funnily enough, as a woman, who for a long time, played competitive shooters because i felt like i had something to prove; don't get me wrong like i obviously have a lot of fun in shooters, and the thrill of ranking up is a nice high to chase, but i started my foray into gaming with valorant because a friend of mine who was a girl streamed it and i was like wow that is so crazy that she's playing that she's so brave. i want to do it too. this year was like, the first time i've really allowed myself to get into the cozy, nice, calming sphere of games, despite the fact that i at one point loved stardew and man. it is such a nice break. i don't know why i denied myself of this for so long.

As someone who has been editing for KZfaqrs since covid, I would just like to say that I LOVE YOUR EDITING. So so so good.

I understand getting caught up in one or two genres. I'm fortunate enough to have played a lot of different kinds of games growing up. I also love game development so that certainly helps me get broader perspectives

Nice to hear some cozy game perspective from someone of your background. I didn’t feel compelled to play anything on your list because I’m not easy to please… I’m almost 50 years old and I’m not sure what I’m looking for. Half the time video pinball or Arkanoid still wins me over.

your video is insane really enjoyed it and your editing style is just so nice. really nice video

really nice vid man, keep up the good work

Idk why but your voice reminds me of Jesse eisenberg but specifically the beginning of zombie land and I’m here for it😂 great video man!

was really hoping you talked about a short hike, i haven’t ever heard anyone talk about it and its amazing

This video was recommended to me by KZfaq and I can't wait to watch more videos from you.

I've always been a half half person on this I've always played Battlefield Call of Duty Rainbow Six competitive Shooters like that a lot but I've always made sure to Branch out and try every single genre of game and I genuinely enjoy doing it so I really liked this video

Great video, very relatable and funny!

My first cozy game was Harvest Moon on the OG gameboy. It showed me that sometimes you just want to farm & pet a cow.

Your editing skills are kinda funny and unique unlike any other channels I've seen so far. I hope you make more vids.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="750">12:30</a> bro really left a discord notification sound in the video. had me looking for a message on my discord for a second 🤣

My cozy game is Skyrim. Valheim/Terraria/Stardew Valley are also my go to chill games. Recently picked up Warpips and that consumed a good 50 hours of my free time.

My intro to cozy was Harvest Moon Back to Nature in like 2001. Im still chasing that high.

Really happy i found your channel bro. Quality ass content

The only time I feel cozy in Stardew Valley is during a festival when the clock stops... otherwise it's an anxiety ridden fever dream trying to remember to crop dust all the villagers twice a week and on their birthday.

Hey man, if you havent already, i reccomend Raft. That was my "Cozy" game when i needed some chill time. I loved it. Great video by the way. I enjoyed it alot!

It's a hard thing to Branch out when you've been stuck in that competitive rut, good work and best of luck on your journey!

This is funny your kind of underrated I've never heard of you I subscribed

Stardew valley litterly has to be my favorite game ive ever played and yet ive never even beat it thats how good it is

After watching like 3 different videos of urs i love this channel

Can't wait for your channel to blow up. I fr thought I was watching someone with over 100k subs

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="205">3:25</a> has to be the funniest shit to me for some reason. Nice touch with the music 😭😭

as a newbie animator, the small animations you make deserve wayy more praise. they have careful consideration of all the animation principles and not just shoddily made like the other similar ones ive seen

you're gonna be very big one day. great videos.

Thanks for mentioning A Short Hike and Dinkum!

Underrated channel great video mate

with this video i just realised, i dont have a comfort game, a cozy game or something. Thanks for sharing this, im gonna go out there and try new games

I mostly play "manly" games too but got pulled into cozy games when Stardew Valley came out. And, like many people, I'd had enough seriousness from the pandemic that Animal Crossing was a welcome change of pace. Since then, I regularly roll cozy games in between my other games. Right now I'm doing Coral Island and loving it.

Quake series are my comfort games!

I recently played Outpath which i saw that you had fotage for, for this video. Really relaxing game, even though i saw worlds for league while playing.

THIS !! THIS IS why i now only play single player games. the fact that you can play forever in a ranked and NOT GETTING A THING. oh my god you are just like me fr fr.

I had the same problem for a while. thousands of hours in competitive games but always feeling unfulfilled with gaming. I love playing cozy, chill, or story games

I've been stumbling across a lot of "cozy" games on my Homebrew 3DS, recently been playing "Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns" it's actually alright to unwind too, I actually had an NPC ask me out when I was trying to court her twin sister, which made me laugh. (I did say yes though)

Love those stock image editing 😂 👏

that jan guy makes amazing sandcastles ngl. S tier video btw

You should try Stardew Valley, it is the best cozy game, the progress on those games comes from expanding the ways you have to make money, sort of. Animal Crossing is a different thing, is too much bound to IRL time and social play. Stardew Valley brings a little bit of RPG elements, harvest moon style, you want to complete some objetives as soon as possible, farm money, but is quite hard to optimize your day, decent deep progression if I can say so.

I too, am not used to these cozy games. I bought Stardew Valley on my phone and I was so lost I genuinely had no idea what to do, and all the gameplay on KZfaq are hour long complete playthroughs, which I'm not tryna watch the entire game be finished, which ended up in me just deleting it out of pure confusion on what do to.. maybe I'll give it another try and actually try to make some progress this time

All of my time is on comp games with thousands of hours on them as well but love just chilling with my friends in stardew valley, yet every single time i screw over the experience and min maxing the hell out of it

Miss playing comfort games. Played HM64 so much as my comfort game. All the pokemon games were my main comfort games. Playing minecraft me was also my comfort game. Turning on keeping items on death turns it into comfort game. Loved new horizons. On stardew atm and playing co op BG3

This is why I like Garry's Mod, I can play it like an FPS vs NPCs or build cool stuff, drive around maps.

These videos hit me on a personal level, i used to sorta have the same problem, whilst you used to play only competitive FPS games for me it was loads of Fighting Games, 5 years nonstop grinding games i liked, mainly guilty gear. It kinda made me miserable at some point tho. Attached my worth to those games, until i decided one day to branch out and my friends were playing risk or rain 2. So i got it As of today, ive remained fighting game sober for about a year and a half. Started to have fun playing games again instead of hyperfixating on ranked and results. I wish this video was released a year ago cuz younger me wouldve needed it
