Cozy Grove Reviews

As a disgusting completionist, Cozy Grove is a nightmare. The daily grind and unchangeable villagers are a pain. You have to feed and harvest animals of each tier 500 times, and animals don’t want to be fed everyday. You have to mend 200 broken heart imps for the max badge. That’s 200 days of gameplay [i]AND[/i] that’s if you can get [b]BOTH[/b] imps to spawn. I’ve constantly been victim to single heartbroken imps spawning, so I can’t even complete that badge within 200 days. On top of that, you need 30 birds, 30 deer, 20 “bunnies”, 150 decorations, 150 flowers, and 100 fruit trees to finish the decoration badges collection. Do you want to know what that’s like? I have to hoard the floral and fauna and I’ve had the Unity crash screen when I decide to perform one too many actions with all of this junk on the screen. [spoiler]Also, in my so-called “cozy” grove, I’m stuck with a conspiracy theorist and a greedy capitalist. How can I even relax or whatnot playing a game where I go on wild goose chases for a tin foil hatter and run errands for a finance bro paying me peanuts??[/spoiler] I’m so far in I have to finish these badges but I would not recommend this game for the faint of heart. If you do decide to get the game, read the subreddit, the people on there are godsends. How would I have known that tinctures are the best way to make money? How would I have known the food combinations to get good cats?

I have it on every possible platform. I love the art and the story but I wish some things were more visible

It is a great game to chill, explore and gather for the residence on this island to advance their stories.

Cozy Grove is one of my favorite cozy games. I've played it on multiple platforms. I especially enjoy that you really only have a certain amount of things to do each day so it doesn't consume your life. I used to play before going to bed as a way to wind down, or as a treat in the morning for getting up a little earlier than needed. This game makes me feel happy and at home. It is just all around lovely.

Very cozy game, with characters with depth a lot of hidden history. Very recommended for people who like decorating spaces as that is one of the main mechanics of the game. Also the game is not made for playing too long on only one playthrough, it wants you to play a little bit every day, for a time that it is between 1 or 2 hours per played day, so you won't be able to finish on one just one lengthy playthrough. This game also have seasonal collectibles that depend of the day and month you are playing, so this can easily become a whole year commitment.

I do simply love this game. The artwork is so cute, it's funny, it tells stories, it slows you down. There is nothing to grind, it's kinda timegated. It's sorta like an advent calendar, every day a lil bit. I really enjoy this game a lot and can totally recommend it.

I am really enjoying this game, I think the story line is really interesting and I like the NPC characters. There are a lot of game mechanics that could be improved upon and that are seen to have been greatly improved in the sequel game Cozy grove: Spirit Camp but those update were never introduced in the original game despite updates and fixes still being actively done which is a shame. For example, the difficulty in aiming tools or throws due to the lack of a target spot being shown for where you are trying to throw. Those things were fixed in the other game but haven't been added to this one which is a shame. Also if you hate when games sync up to real life time because you are impatient like me then you will hate that mechanic in this game. There are only a certain amount of progress and quests you can make everyday and sometimes it really doesn't feel like you have been able to do much at all and then you have to wait hours until the next real life day to do anything else which is inconvenient because you don't always have time every day to play but if you don't it will take even longer to progress

If you're looking for a cozy game that feels different from other farming/collecting ones, this is the one. The art is very unique, so relaxing, and you can watch your shows while completing the quests. Progression is slow, and you can only play for about two hours a day, which for me feels enough. Most of the time, you’ll be searching for hidden objects, which can get pretty boring, and the items can be hard to find. But once you finish quests and start seeing the characters gain colour, it feels [b] amazing [/b]

This game could have been fun if it wasn't time locked. If you want a game to get lost in for hours until you finish it, this is not the game for you. You can only play the game for a couple of hours a day because it will literally stop progressing and tell you to either decorate your camp (which is mid) or come back tomorrow. I ended up returning it after playing it for a day and not being able to progress, When I looked it up on reddit, so many people have been saying they love the game and have been playing for 2 YEARS, and I'm just not interested in that kind of game.

There is just something about opening a game, running around completing quests then logging off within an hour or 2 that ticks all my boxes. Gives me the time to go and do real world things without stressing about completing everything for the day. 10/10
