AutoPastry, do games w [Opinion] Why do so many cozy games suck?

These trailers have started to blend together for me, and I think that’s the issue. They might have a “nice vibe”, but that alone isn’t enough. What makes your game unique and fun to play? Sell me on that!

Cosy games are meant to be relaxing, almost stress-free experiences that revolve around repetition and reward playing them in small doses each day. I can understand why hardcore gamers don’t like them, but at the same time they’re not made for them.

Droggelbecher,

I’m not a hardcore gamer, but usually mostly in RPGs. But I’ve also got hundreds of hours in stardew and thousands in the Sims. When I play one of those, I’m always low key scared to grow bored because I LOVE those games and I know that there won’t be another good one right around the corner.

When I got bored of Skyrim, I played the Witcher, and when I got bored of that, I played Fallout. Repeat ad nauseam, because there’s more playable, entertaining RPGs out there than any one human could play in a lifetime.

With cosy games, not so much. When you grow bored of one, chances are, there won’t be another one that’ll be enjoyable to you at all, and you’ll have to hope and wait that something good will come out at some point.

Well, I’m making one so i guess i can’t say they suck. I do feel like a lot of them aren’t great games, though. As in, they create a good vibe but they often lack solid gameplay. I think the writing in some I’ve played leans far too much into awkward and insecure characterizations too, and that gets tiring for me quickly. I’m trying to avoid those pitfalls in mine.

vladmech,

Any link/info on your game? I’m down for a cozy game with a bit more core gameplay

kmartburrito,

Hopefully it involves parachuting dogs

Paradachshund,

It doesn’t, but it does have a pig-based sliding puzzle. 🐖 i posted the demo on the comment you replied to if you’re curious.

Paradachshund,

Thanks for the interest! I only have a short demo and trailer up so far but would love to hear what you think. 😄

RageAgainstTheRich,

I really like what i saw in the trailer! I’ll try the demo later today if i don’t forget haha. Keep it up! 😁

Paradachshund,

Thanks for the kind words. Means a lot for an unknown solo dev like myself. 🙏

thanks_shakey_snake,

That looks really cool. It will help me live out my fantasy of having a handful of ants in my pocket that I can deploy at any moment.

Paradachshund,

You can also get a jar of bees! Thanks for the kind words. :)

vladmech,

This looks fun! Going to have to check that demo out when I get home.

Paradachshund,

Thank you! I’d love to hear what you think. 😄

Hmm I guess “cozy” games are a genre, but I kinda felt like they are games that make you feel cozy, fun without the stress. If a game sucks then I don’t know I’d consider it “cozy”.

Why bother re-releasing dead games stuck on PS3 when you can do this?

If they put the same love into this one as Tsushima, I will be very happy.

Apologies for the Xitter link, but it looks like the main character Atsu is being portrayed by Erika Ishii.

Looks interesting. I liked the first game but never finished it, it felt like there wasn’t much new to unlock after the first chapter and got very repetitive quickly.

This looks real interesting. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for it and see what the reviews say.

Hard pass from me. Absolutely loved the game but those “git gud” levels were the absolute worst and dragged down the experience for me.

B312,

They were fun optional levels that had you master the controls. The only one that was genuinely unfair was the rubber ducky one, which did not feel fun at all. Besides these are just speedrun levels not challenge levels, which are two different things
