[Opinion] Why do so many cozy games suck? - eviltoast

Came across this video critiquing the gameplay of some out of the sheer number of “cozy” games coming out recently.

Wondering what everyone’s opinions are on cozy games. Do you feel the same or do you have differing opinions on them?

      The granddaddy, Story of Seasons, as well.

      I know I’m not the target audience when I accidentally blitzed through most of the content for Pioneers of Olive Town in 2 seasons.

      I feel like Paleo Pines is a decent mix of Animal Crossing and Stardew, with just a tiny bit of ARK thrown in (Dino taming). The art style is honestly so freaking adorable and I can’t get enough of the dino buddies and all their little noises. I think the dev team might all be women, but I’m not 100% on that.

      There’s a demo on steam that lets you play through the first three weeks, and you can save and continue, and your progress will transfer to the full game if you decide to get it.
