Tip for Bandle Tale: if your instinct is to grind for skill points, try throwing a non-story party instead. You’ll probably need to do a food stand at the location (or the same island at least) to raise morale before you can throw a party, but parties are absolutely the way to earn the skill points you need. The early gameplay suggests that parties should be for story beats, but that’s just not true.
i bought moonstone island and i liked it a lot! unfortunately it has some issues on the switch that can be quite annoying (opening chests in your home sometimes doesn't load the content of the chest and the character gets stuck, but time still passes, so you either wait for 2AM or reload everything; and also getting out of the medallion kind of "immobilizes" the character, making the glider not work anymore) and i found myself a but worried about losing my progress while playing, but apart from that it's been enjoyable! will definitely check out Bandle Tale next
Ive just started playing Everafter Falls, its new so not many guides out. Id love to see other people and youtubers make some vids about it! Its a lovely and fun and funny game so far.
@@janharris3800 its SO addictive and fun! I am just loving it. Finally got to Fall and almost through the first dungeon. Feel like Im finally getting the hang of it.
I’m loving everafter falls too, especially now the update came out yesterday to fix the near end game glitch 😊I’m enjoying watching @ladyshelab doing a full play through on her channel 💕
I didn't think I would like snufkin, but I bought it on a whim and couldn't stop playing it till the end. Just so peaceful and humorous. I loved the coloring and low stress of the challenges.
I bought moonstone island on switch on launch after seeing your video looking forward to it and omg I’m hooked! I also love that there’s nothing you have to do, so you can do whatever you feel like and change your focus as you desire. I’m probably equally excited about the dates as I am taming spirits. 😂
Could you possibly make a Top 10 or Ranked video of best Cozy games for Cooperative/Multiplayer on PC? Like Farm Together 2, Lightyear Frontier, Dinkum, etc.? Would love to see a video like that from someone like yourself with hundreds of hours of experience. Wife and I are looking for new Cozy type Survival, Building or Farm games to play to fill our time together. Cheers! Love your videos btw! :)
It's fun to watch reviews of videogames that simply didn't exist 25 years ago. It speaks to the diversity and creative spirit of the medium and all the many ways you can play. Thanks for sharing!
Been waiting to hear your thoughts on Moonstone Island! Definitely wanna check that one out. Especially since the 1.6 Stardew update is taking forever to come to Switch
Tavern Talk and Stitch are so good. Along somewhat similar lines to Stitch is the picross game "LogiArt Grimoire." I love any picross game, but this one in particular is extra rewarding as you're basically discovering the things that make up the world by combining the objects, etc from the puzzles you complete to make more puzzles, which you then combine to make more puzzles/objects, etc. There is quite a bit of content, and it's fun enough that I'll probably start over from scratch whenever I do finally complete it. Also, while I know Powerwash Simulator isn't exactly a new release, that latest DLC pack is by far my favorite, and it looks like we have even more top notch levels still to come this year. I have over 700 hours in PWS. Imo, there is no game that's better to pair with a good audiobook/podcast or show in the background. Some good stuff this year, to be sure. ETA: How did I forget Balatro?? Love me some Balatro.
please please try Slay the Spire if you like balatro!!! It’s widely beloved as one of the best deck building roguelikes of all time and it is so well done and fun to play! it’s like balatro but with lore and critters instead of numbers. it’s still card based like this though. it’s soooo addicting. i’m a cozy game girlie at heart. but slay the spire has over 500 hours of gameplay for me. more than my 450 hours in stardew and my 300+ in animal crossing. edit: everything you described as reasons why you love balatro were reasons i love slay the spire 😭😭 so good
I also love Balatro and agree 100% that it's a cozy game, my first games were card games and this one has such a wacky sense of humor. I also adore Paper Trail and have played through all of it, but will have to play again because I didn't figure out the side quest of collecting the origami figures until I was into the second world. I have also played A Fold Apart which uses a similar mechanic. I am still trying to decide if Moonstone Island is for me, farming sims can be such a time suck. I absolutely LOVED Snuffkin my only complaint was it was too short! Bandle Tale looks adorable but again, time suck. I have the demo of Coffee Talk but honestly visual novels can put me to sleep. Love your channel!
I stopped playing Moonstone Island to watch this lmao 😂 I'm obsessed, send help Hmm!! I wasn't super interested in Coffee Talk, but Tavern Talk has me VERY interested. 👀✨ Thanks for the review, I will try it out!! And oof, I *need* Bandle Tale but I'm trying to hold out for a good sale. 😭
Paper Trail and stitch. look to be right up my alley. I am hoping they come on sale and I can buy them in the near future. My top 3 cozy games so far are: 1. Balatro - my new obsession 2. Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On (remake of my favorite game on the 3ds, Pocket Card Jockey (by Game Freak), focused around playing solitaire and racing horses. Your performance in the solitaire rounds affect your relationship with your horse and your progress in the races. In my 3ds playthrough, I named all my horses after horse Pokemon like Ponyta and Rapidash! This game was SO addictive on the 3ds and it continues the trend in the Switch remake. 3. Tavern Talk - love the drink making and the quest building mechanics Honorable mentions to Suika Game, Yonder: Cloud Catcher Chronicles, and Wylde Flowers which released in prior years but I only discovered them last month. 😅 EDIT: I learned Pocket Card Jockey is also on Apple Arcade and I expect the user interface is even better there.
I recently completed Bandle Tale and absolutely loved it! It may be my favourite game of the year. Currently playing Moonstone Island and so far, it's a close second!
So many of these games going on my list! Also, so many games so little time 😂 Did you ever finish BG3 by the way? If so, what did you think? I know it’s very different to the usual stuff you stream!
I’m still trapped in the world of Moonstone Island, mingling with those adorable spirits. Just realised that Moonstone Island is the only cozy game I’ve played so far that is released this year. Look forward to play the upcoming Fields of Mistria, Tiny Glade, Plucky Squire, and Zelda game.
Botany Manor: a gardening puzzle game where you explore a beautiful Victorian estate. Pros: very beautiful, available on switch. Cons: expensive for the short number of hours of gameplay. Really enjoyed it, would highly recommend if it goes on sale!
Wait tavern talk seems even more interesting than coffee talk?! haven't played any of them but was looking to buy coffee talk. but the quests part makes me want to be more interested in tavern talk
Hi - every game is time stamped meaning they’re also typed out in the description, I also show the title when I first mention it on screen too when I say the name of the game! So hopefully that helps a bit
I've been so interested in some of the League of Legends games, I'm immediately buying Bandle Tale! Are any of the other League of Legends games good and cozy?
Balatro is my current love hate relationship. I am obsessed with the game, but cannot win a match for the life of me 🤣 I got to the last ante and messed up and have never come as close to winning again.
i love bandle tale so much (cause i knit and love pixel games haha) but i stuck after 10 hours cause i cant earn orbs (i cant make parties or picnics, i dont have enough skills) this make me so sad… (sorry for my english)
a PHD in chemistry is actually so impressive!

Your voice is so comforting. There's nothing like coming home after work and finding so many new exciting games to add to my list 😌
I bought Moonstone 2 days ago and it's interfering with my job lol I love it so so much- my favorite game to come along in quite a while
it's just got something special!
Okay, I had absolutely no idea! A PhD in Chemistry?? WOW!! I'm incredibly impressed. This just made me love her even more. AWESOME!!! 😊❤

Thank you so much for the lovely Paper Trail mention! 😭🥰
Ive just started playing Everafter Falls, its new so not many guides out. Id love to see other people and youtubers make some vids about it! Its a lovely and fun and funny game so far.
I keep checking back to see if Eeowna has said anything about it yet 😁 I too am playing and loving it!
I started playing too! I did short clips of the game on my page
@@janharris3800 its SO addictive and fun! I am just loving it. Finally got to Fall and almost through the first dungeon. Feel like Im finally getting the hang of it.

LOVE when a gaming channel is sponsored by a game!
especially when it's a DLC for a game I already LOVE
Yeah it really makes you believe the channel is independent! Lmao
So many good ones on this list! I have been playing Dave the Diver, princess peach showtime, and Moonstone island a lot so far.
LOVE Dave the diver. On the fence about moonstone rn I feel like no main objective would be hard to adjust to
I didn't think I would like snufkin, but I bought it on a whim and couldn't stop playing it till the end. Just so peaceful and humorous. I loved the coloring and low stress of the challenges.
My wishlist has been expanded, thank you.

I am really looking forward to Fields of Mistria. It has a Sailor Moon vibe to it and the fact that Toby Fox made the trailer music had me sold
I've had it on my steam wishlist for a while and i cannot wait for it
Ok, Dr. Cozy Games! We see you. ❤
It's fun to watch reviews of videogames that simply didn't exist 25 years ago. It speaks to the diversity and creative spirit of the medium and all the many ways you can play. Thanks for sharing!
You're my best cozy CZcamsr of all time ❤🎮😍
omg thank you!
ive never heard of tavern talk but it sounds so cool!!! such interesting gameplay
My top 3: Coral Island, Little known galaxy, & Roots of Pacha

I've gotten to know so many great games because of your videos! Thank you for your great videos and all the information you provide! 😊
thank you so much!
Been bonkers for Moonstone Island all month! 🎉 It's very Studio Ghibli-esk along with the other comparisons. 😊
please please try Slay the Spire if you like balatro!!!

Everafter Falls has been my go to for cozy this year!

Balatro is really fun
smushi come home is a great open world adventure. Very calming
i need to know more about the giant psyduck
Well he’s 31 inches tall, and twitch chat got him as a pre moving away gift haha
@@Eeowna that’s amazing!!

Paper Trail reminds me a lot of the game Carto that came out a few years ago
Love your content! Got me back into playing my switch more 😊

Is Balatro hard to learn if you’re not really a card player?

...Corki? Moogles?
Huh.
I had no idea Riot had stepped foot in cozy RPG!
my top three for the year so far are little kitty big city, terra memoria, and balatro.
Yes! Sharing the love for Coffee Talk. Nice one. ❤
MOONSTONE ISLAND was the best cozy game for me ♡♡♡
I did buy a power washer as a result of playing the game. It awesome but buy a visor too
Love your voice
Thank you so much for recommending Tavern Talk, just got it and so far I love it 😊

Wait to Christmas for new games sadly 😢… these games looks so fun
Moonstone Island is worth it on Nintendo Switch?
Welp, now I am reinstalling Bandle Tale :)
Wait tavern talk seems even more interesting than coffee talk?! haven't played any of them but was looking to buy coffee talk. but the quests part makes me want to be more interested in tavern talk
man as a huge league of legends fan i wish Bandle Tele was on Mac T-T
Love your videos. Suggestion - please show the game titles before their respective videos, or type them out.
Hi - every game is time stamped meaning they’re also typed out in the description, I also show the title when I first mention it on screen too when I say the name of the game! So hopefully that helps a bit
Paper trail is officially on my wish list!
Eeowna! I’ve missed you!
Did you move? Peeping the background change 👀 (sorry if you’ve mentioned this) 😂🥰
YES! I moved out of my parents house to a place of my own!! So I finally have more than a single room to exist in :D
@@Eeowna oooo that’s exciting! Congratulations! 😄
Genuine question - what is a cozy game? Like does it make you feel cozy?
Oh and Switch reminds me of minesweeper! Haha
Thanks i now know why I couldn't find stitch.
I really need that powerwash dlc lol
I just bought Moonstone Island and I’m so excited!!
Moonstone Island is hugely popular but every single time I think about 100 islands...I just can't. Too many other games to play.
Stitch seems like a fun game to play. Thanks for sharing!
Bandle tale reminds me sooooo much of drawn to life
Moonstone island is the goat
I've been so interested in some of the League of Legends games, I'm immediately buying Bandle Tale! Are any of the other League of Legends games good and cozy?
I love your sparkly eye makeup! Can you let us know what it is?
I love Stitch. Its just so relaxing. I wondered if you would find it 😊
Literally playing stitch as I watch this lol
Balatro is my current love hate relationship. I am obsessed with the game, but cannot win a match for the life of me 🤣 I got to the last ante and messed up and have never come as close to winning again.
I have a question: Do you have octodad because I would like to know your thoughts on it
Have you played Suika Game before? So good and addictive - a daily game!
I bought Stitch. after seeing your video and it is amazing! I can’t put it down. 😊
Looks good
Moonstone island is corrupted on my switch and I’m so sad!!! I only got to play for a few minutes 😭
you would love love love animal well!
I love all of your videos ❤
Stich is great, i play it on Apple Arcade
i love bandle tale so much (cause i knit and love pixel games haha) but i stuck after 10 hours cause i cant earn orbs (i cant make parties or picnics, i dont have enough skills)
this make me so sad…
(sorry for my english)
🙌
It's shocking that there is no real competitor to Switch Animal Crossing. Every one I've tried just sucks or falls flat.
That's because AC is so far the only game not made by indie devs! Somehow no other AAA studio has tackled cozy yet!
first
HAII
What a strange accent
I’m from Surrey lmao, it’s the most vanilla English accent of them all
@@Eeowna lol well at least you’re very beautiful
Stitch. for mobile is an Apple Arcade exclusive.. :(
NOOO REALLY!?
