Any game that lets me play as a red panda wearing a little yellow dungaree dress immediately gets my attention. Cozy Caravan, though, had me intrigued from the minute I heard the title – it was only later that I realized its character selection and customization options included otters, axolotls, and raccoons alongside the inevitable red panda pick.
Pitched as a "single-player, top-down journey", Cozy Caravan doesn't exactly do well in selling itself on its Animal Crossing meets Cooking Mama vibes. As the game's name suggests, you travel around the idyllic pastoral locations in your caravan. A gigantic kind-hearted bumblebee pulls your home on wheels and you're also accompanied by your friend Bubba: a frog that can only say his name, but in true Pokemon style, can seemingly be understood by anyone they talk to.
