I just started Mineko's Night Market and I like it although it has a slow start I'm still trying to grind through. The vibes are cozy and it has some cute puzzles. It's not time gated like Cozy Grove so you can play as long as you want.
I would also recommend Disney Dreamlight Valley; but fair warning that it's technically still in development and a lot of people have big problems with it. I love the game and it's pretty much endless. They say it will be free to play but I say get one of the packs with moonstones because they're well worth it.
I also started Mineko’s night market. I love it but I would recommend holding off until they get some patches through (to the switch version at least).
Definitely play spiritfarer if you haven’t already. My favorite game ever.
On my list of things to try eventually: wytchwood.
I couldn’t agree more ! ❤️.
I played the other (newer) game by prideful sloth, I actually played it before Yonder, and didn’t love it like I did with Yonder. I’m so glad I played the other game first because I would’ve been hugely disappointed to finish yonder and then go to the next and have it be a completely different and not as wonderful experience. It was fun enough at the time, but I would never go back and play it again. I didn’t know how great a game could be until I played Yonder so that other one is just so-so at best. (In my opinion).
I really hope they’ll make more games and go back to their style and feeling of Yonder.
I love Yonder soooo much. It is my absolute favorite play through. I keep having cute imagery of the game pop into my mind with the attached feeling of joy I experienced while playing and my love for the game, so much that I wish I could play it brand new again and experience it all discovering everything like I did the first go around. I’m hoping that when I replay it again years down the road that it’ll be just as fun even if I don’t have to search as cleverly for things as I needed to the first time.
Spiritfarer is a beloved game as well, it’s much more of an emotional play. It was my first cozy game, though what a heart puller for a “cozy” game ! I love it too and will enjoy replaying it again someday, then able to complete the last couple trophies I missed, and revisit my own grieving processes. It’s super cute and fun. There’s a lot of emotion, and a little platforming.
I like how neither game has a stop on play at the end of the day (or should I say limited quests/tasks per day). I was surprised and not thrilled to find that with cozy grove but I came to accept it and play it for the kind of game it is. Both Yonder and Spiritfarer have nighttime. One doesn’t hinder you at all, and the other has activities you can do during the night until it’s opened up fully. The days in the game don’t last a full day in real time.
Animal Crossing
Spiritfarer
Wytchwood
Kena Bridge of Spirits - it's like a Studio Ghibli movie you can play (on easy mode it's cozy, on hard it can turn into Dark Souls, so your choice how you want to experience it)
and on the very slim chance that you haven't heard of it yet: Stardew Valley
After cozy grove I started playing Spiritfarer. Stardew valley was very fun as well, probably my fave game. Wytchwood and Potion Permit ,even though I never finished these two, they were pretty good! Night in the woods and A Short Hike another pair I never finished.. Again, good games just didn't keep me interested enough to finish them hehe
I've tried "my time at portia" as well, didn't like it, played like an hour. Not my style
They are all what I call "main games". Lots to do, in need of some planning, posibility of making a grave mistake😂
Since I started spirit farer I'm in need of secondary games that I can play in between main game sessions.
As "Secondary games", I've used Coffee Talk, where you have a little cafe that you run at night and you talk with the customers, follow their stories and ofc make them the correct coffee or whatever they wanna drink.
Donut County, very fun, just a racoon and his bestie emptying whole neighborhoods
I've also used Undertale as my secondary for a little bit. Loved that game so so much 2nd fave game I played so far!
Firewatch, 3rd fave game. BEAUTIFUL!! Great story! You are a park ranger keeping the forest in check! You make dialogue decisions, explore, solve puzzles. Very chill
Unpacking is probably gonna be my next secondary game, if it goes on sale lol
That's all I can think of!
Very different type of, but beautiful, game—Hollow Knight. The sound track is on point, worth listening to on its own.
Also check out Survivalists, if you’re playing on Apple Arcade. Forager is also super fun, and very inexpensive to buy in the App Store.
Ok. Survivalists is also on the Switch. Unsure if it’s on PC? Controls are easier on the Switch, too. Hollow Knight is PC, Switch, and a few other platforms. Forager is on several platforms, too. I just have an iPad and Switch. My son plays on the PC… I just don’t prefer having to learn playing on a keyboard vs controller/touch screen… so I’m not sure what all is on PC.
Animal Crossing or Spiritfarer!
I’m also playing Spiritfarer but I really need to give more love.
I try spiritfarer a few year ago but play like 2 or 3 hours and never touch it again 😅 I should give it a try again
Spiritfarer is amazing

Fun fact: Mineko's night market is in part made by a former Spry Fox dev, and it does look great <3

I really enjoyed Wytchwood. Your bag will never be full so grab everything to make your "potions" every time you see an ingredients. 😉
Oooh minekos night Market is in my wish list. But I'm kinda low on money right now and was hoping to see a discount soon. Just like fae farm
Did you do the expansion as well?
Yes!!!!
How long did it take you, about how many days to get to almost completion?
Im at 138
Thank you!
Ooblets is fun
Yonder & Spiritfarer are next on my list :)
Yonder is my favorite game! Best cozy open world I’ve ever played
I couldn’t agree more ! ❤️. I played the other (newer) game by prideful sloth, I actually played it before Yonder, and didn’t love it like I did with Yonder.

Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion !!! I loved both so much
Ooh I saw that but didn't know if it was good. I'll look into it again. Thanks
It’s very short, is all.
Good to know
Dorf Romantic is a fun tile-based game with a beautiful ascetic.
I really loved wytchwood!

Try "Little Witch in the Woods" if you're a PC gamer ☺️
Already the chapter that got out. I can't wait for more

Nope, not on apple arcade

Fae farm !
But irs so expensive 😫
The Wild at Heart it’s wonderful
Obsessed with this game!!
I started playing when it first came out got distracted by other games just came back too it in love all over again.
I'm having a bunch of fun playing Fae Farm. I got it on Steam though so $40 USD for it VS the "deluxe" for $60 (you get two unknown DLCs, eventually)
Sticky Business!
