As much as I enjoy epic RPGs that never seem to end, my love for cosy games is undeniable. Animal Crossing Horizons started me on my cosy kick, but Stardew Valley is the place I discovered my unquenchable love for all things snuggly, rustic, and “laid back”.
Granted, most of these so-called cosy games aren’t nearly as chill as they make out, and actually maintain the “grind” mentality, but I still can’t say no to them. Especially when it has chonky chickens and cows rounder than a full moon – that’s enough of a draw for most of us.
You all need to watch the Stardew Valley if cosy games are your thing and you've yet to play it.
In case you need more to tempt you, Steam’s Sugardew Island has animal companions for you to pet and look after, and, best of all, you can improve your home to make it the epitome of cosy chic living. All your fellow farmers will be jealous.

Alongside the cutesy vibes already emanating from this title, there’s also the stunning reveal trailer that is giving serious Kiki Delivery’s Service energy. “Looks very cute,” responded one fan keen to see where this game will take us on our collective quest to live the good life. Another would-be player said, “This looks absolutely adorable! So excited for release day!”
Are you ready to take a chance and start a new life?
“In a bygone era, humans, animals, and the Forest Folk lived in perfect harmony on Sugardew Island. A seed, nurtured by all islanders, grew into a magnificent tree. However, driven by greed, humans sought to fell the Harmony Tree, disrupting the balance. The sudden change in their nature forced animals and Forest Folk to flee, leaving the island in ruins. Now, a lone being awaits someone to restore lost harmony.”

How good does that description make this title sound? No way any lovers of Stardew Valley will be able to turn this game down.
There’s no firm launch date yet, only the rough guideline of Q2 2024. However, it’s enough for us to start counting down the weeks until we get to cuddle all the farmyard animals after a satisfying harvest.
