I spent a lot of time just digging, fishing, talking to Mr. It also helps that the game is as approachable as it is, it’s not hard to jump right back in and pick up where you left off.Īs approachable as the game is, there’s also a lot of depth to it from its story to the sort of items you’re able to acquire. I felt assured that if I did decide to take a break, I wasn’t going to be missing out on anything. With how chaotic my life has been lately and how bad my anxiety gets, I ended up welcoming these stopping points.
You also technically can’t time travel around these stopping points in the game… which may turn some gamers off. Rather than try to time travel around this like I would in Animal Crossing, I found myself taking the hint from Cozy Grove that maybe I should take a break.
The game has a natural way of encouraging you to keep playing, but it also counters this by only letting you do so much each day.Įventually you’ll reach a point where you’ve done so much the characters basically tell you hey, you’ve done a great job, come back and chat with us tomorrow. It’s nice to feel like you’re getting a lot done, it’s nice to feel helpful and useful and to see progress being made. In the first hour of the game, the game rewards you with the amount of tasks you’re able to accomplish, and I think this sort of gameplay can potentially be therapeutic to people who may be feeling depressed or anxious. The focus here is small, easily accomplished tasks. As you complete small, easy to accomplish tasks, you’ll gradually restore color and warmth to the world. Cozy Grove Review | Stress-Free VacationĬozy Grove opens with a map that’s stripped of color. It’s not perfect, there are some minor issues I experienced that pulled me out of the calm, peaceful state the game put me in at times, but overall, Cozy Grove is a game that I think many will find countless hours of enjoyment in. I wanted more of that sort of comfort game, and Cozy Grove answered this want in spades.Ĭozy Grove is a game you can play in short bursts when you need a break, and can be a game you get lost in for hours as you restore color to the game’s world and build strong relationships with different characters.
Cozy Grove immediately caught my attention as someone who soaked way, way too many hours into Animal Crossing: New Horizons over the last year.
