The start of winter is just around the corner, which means that cozy game season is in full swing. I love myself some cozy games: it's almost a vice for me, indulging in the cozy lands of make believe.
I've played so many of these games that I've developed some rather strong opinions on them! Please enjoy this modest, early Christmas-y special. If you enjoy this kind of video, let me know what you think! It's a great break for me as well, in between the heavier stuff.
