I love a cosy game, but I don’t love the fact every second game is branded as one just because it’s trendy right now

Relaxing simulator games, often referred to as "cosy" games, have gained popularity as a source of nostalgia and comfort, with titles like Animal Crossing: Wild World leading the way. Recent releases such as Hello Kitty Island Adventure, Fantasy Life i, and Tales of the Shire contribute to the growing list of games labeled as cosy, characterized by engaging characters, leisurely goals, and space rejuvenation. However, the term "cosy" can mislead players, as many games may lack substance despite appealing aesthetics. The community aspect and meaningful interactions are crucial for the genre's appeal, yet many new entries overlook these elements. The trend prioritizes visual charm over depth, which can deter newcomers to gaming from exploring the genre. The industry faces a challenge in distinguishing genuinely enjoyable titles from mediocre offerings.
