I want to continue my thoughts on what makes a perfect cozy game to me. In the last post, I was talking about relationships and how the better cozy games really flesh them out. In this post, I want to concentrate on what I DON’T want in a cozy game. Or rather, what will turn… Continue Reading
I was going to write about my perfect cozy game in yesterday’s post, but then I went completely off the rails. That’s because I found out the (dismissive and sexist) definition of coz games–by the way, apparently some people think the term started at the beginning of the pandemic and then go on at lengeth… Continue Reading
In between my struggles with getting into Wylde Flowers (Studio Drydock), I’ve been playing a bunch of demos/other games I have in my backlog. They are all independent games, and most of them if not all of them are cozy. I have to say that I’m having trouble getting into any of them, and I… Continue Reading
Wylde Flowers (Studio Drydock) continues to frustrate me. In yesterday’s post, I ruminated on those frustrations to a lengthy extent. I think part of the reason I’m so frustrated with it is because I can see what it’s trying to be–and what I want it to be. Also, when I’m not loving a game that… Continue Reading
I want to talk more about Wylde Flowers (Studio Drydock). This is part two of my A Quick Look at the game. Here is my first post in which I talked a bit about my first impressions. I said in that post that I was worried that the game would get out of control. I… Continue Reading
I heard about a cozy farming/dating sim called Wylde Flowers (Studio Drydock) and saw it had a demo on Steam. I decided to give it a go since I gave up on Tiny Bookshop (neoludic games) (long story, will do an official review at some point). I liked the demo well enough though I did… Continue Reading
I’m still playing Tiny Bookshop (neoludic games), and I have more to say about it. I left off part one by saying this is the perfect small bites game; I still think it is. I also said that I had several small complaints, and I want to expand on that a bit. First, though, I… Continue Reading
I’ve been on a cozy game kick for the last few weeks. I’m just done with hard games. It’s taken me quite a while to realize that I don’t really like ‘hard’ games for a variety of reasons. I play FromSoft games for the exploration, the exquisite level design, and for the lore. I suffer… Continue Reading
I have played several demos this year, and I’ve really enjoyed it. I have played a few meaty games, too–well, at least one–and by the time I was done with it,I was exhausted. There have been several soulslikes this year, and I have been very reluctant to play them. Not only because I don’t actually… Continue Reading
I have been taking a break from long, grueling, HARD games beacuse I’m just done with them right now. Instead, I’m playing a bunch of casual games and a few indie games to cleanse my palate. One thing I have always appreciated about casual games (and now indie games) is that they always/usually (respectively) have… Continue Reading
