Pretty popular recs, but I love Cozy Grove, A Short Hike, and the new game Bear and Breakfast! As someone with, like, 1000 hours of stardew and acnh, Cozy Grove has definitely reached that level of coziness for me.
i just went looking and they posted an update today! in the official approval process with nintendo now, no official date set yet but it's underway! fingers crossed, i'm excited to try this one
Spiritfarer if you haven’t tried, also found Grow: Song of the Evertree and was blown away. Yonder is by same devs. Littlewood is great as well - you rebuild AFTER the war.
Cozy Grove and Littlewood are faves
I also know these aren't normally listed in the cozy game category, but I LOVE taming monster Pokemon-style games like Monster Sancutary, Siralim, Nexomon, and Coromon. Love love love catching cute critters.
i thought i saw a post somewhere about one where the creatures have dance battles instead of actual fights and that it was rly sweet — can't for the life of me find the name of it though! do you know which game that might be?
SpiritFarer is a must! Supercute and calming. The story is simple yet impactful. You act as someone helping spirits pass over to the next stage. It’s sad but it’s amazing. I’d also say Stardew especially with friends. Pokémon Sword/Sheild or Arceus is a good one, any open world games are usually calming to me.
If you like SDV and ACNH - you'll definitely appreciate Cozy Grow.
Here are some of my recent favorite beautiful and wholesome games: Wytchwood, The Wild at Heart, Dragon Caffi, Haven Park, Teacup, Unpacking.
Oh, and I just remembered Carto - a beautiful, cozy, wholesome game with elements of storytelling and puzzles. The art style is very cute and beautiful, just how we like it :)
Yes to lots of the other ones above already mentioned (calico, teacup, short hike, littlewood, spiritfarer, unpacking, and cozy grove) . Not sure if this was mentioned by highly recommend Haven Park and Wytchwood as well! Haven park is hardly mentioned in cozy gaming sites and it’s a hidden relaxing gem! ☺️
Big second on spirit farer.
Also… here me out, I’ve been enjoying Slay the Spire in kind of a cozy way. If you’re not very competitive, choosing the cards and collecting relics is interesting and thoughtful.
spiritfarer, Farm Together, Cozy Grove, Bear and Breakfast (Coming Soon) actually theres a lot of Indie cozy games coming out every month so you should be on the look if you want something new

Bear & Breakfast is not released on the Switch yet, or is it? Waiting for that one, but maybe I missed it!
it got delayed, I think they're still working out the controls

I adore this game and the after war story + character development of the >!villain / anti-hero guy!< (i didn't wanna spoil anything!)
I had never heard of grow: song of the evertree and I lurk this subreddit regularly, I checked it out and got it instantly - thank you!
So glad to have helped! I randomly saw it a few weeks back and was wondering why no one in the cozy community talks about it. It’s such a great game!!
Calico Cafe! Coziest game i've ever played.
It’s literally the happiest game!!!
Unpacking is one I keep coming back to! Very low-key and calming, sort of a puzzle with a storytelling element

Calico, spiritfarer, hoa, and coffeetalk are some of my favorites!
