[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 brown MilSim apocalypse was a bad time.

    Ultimately, these cozy games are so often Indies with a limited scope and budget. The fact that this sort of genre has found the following is a good thing for gaming and Indie devs.

    Of course once we reach market saturation and people are fed up with them, they won’t sell as well and new twists on the genre will have to be developed in order to stand out. This is a good thing for gaming and indie devs again.

      I’d rather have an over saturation of cozy games than an over saturation of live service hero shooters
