Right up there with the Soulslike genre, cozy gaming is a space that's become just a little bit crowded in recent years. That's not a reflection on the quality or appeal of these games generally, but it does make it a challenge to wade through the constant flood of new releases in search of something fresh and unique. There's always a farm to manage, or anthropomorphic neighbors to meet, or fish to catch, somewhere.
