Came across this video critiquing the gameplay of some out of the sheer number of "cozy" games coming out recently.

Wondering what everyone's opinions are on cozy games. Do you feel the same or do you have differing opinions on them?

Imo what's key to a cosy game is that you choose within the game how much you want to challenge yourself. Take stardew, for example. My mum was content just farming crops. I went into the difficult mines with lots of combat etc. You can enjoy the game if you don't do the hard parts, or you can do them sparsely, or all the time. You choose, and that's what makes it so relaxing.
