Cozy is a spectrum and these games definitely show that spectrum. Immortals Fenyx Rising is an open-world RPG reminiscent of Breath of the Wild (one of my favorite games of all time) it is totally cozy to wander around and explore but of course, you have to fight off enemies when you bump into them (or be a pacifist and run away). Yes, Your Grace seems like a perfect example of cozy. Wander around your castle and enjoy the interesting story and make choices to help your kingdom thrive. Last but not least The Almost Gone is a sad and ominous kind of cozy, the visuals, and puzzles are nice and fun but the music is ominous and the story you’re exploring has a much darker tone.
These blogs are a way for me to keep track of every game I have played (with no spoilers!) and share them with you!

Immortals Fenyx Rising
I heard from Zach (SwitchForce on Youtube) that Immortals Fenyx Rising is a GREAT game to play if you have to patiently wait for Nintendo to release Breath of the Wild 2 (recently delayed till 2023). This open-world RPG is similar to Breath of the Wild, especially with the controls. Flying and climbing are very similar and I love being able to explore a big map this way!
This demo is great and it features a pretty long adventure! You learn basic mechanics like flying, fighting, and climbing and you basically go through a whole storyline that is being narrated by Zeus and Prometheus (all the story is lore focused on ancient Greek gods!) even your character Fenyx has a voice actor. I love that we get to play as a bad-ass female character (after starting the full game I discovered that you can actually customize your character and play as either a male or female facing character). I love the storytelling aspect of this game. It is so much fun!
There are also many 5 different difficulty settings to choose from if you don’t really like combat you can go with the Story difficulty level and if you like a challenge you have the Nightmare difficulty level on the other end. I went for the Normal difficulty level.
This is definitely a challenging but still cozy game and I think it is definitely worth a play you might as well play the demo before you buy to make sure this is something you'll enjoy!

Yes, Your Grace
If you like choice-based games this is a great game for you! In the demo, you play for 4 weeks in the game. You are a king in charge of making choices for your kingdom but there’s also a fascinating story going on behind the scenes. You’ll meet the royal family including the king's three daughters and his wife. Learn about the conflict that is happening within the kingdom and make choices to help your kingdom thrive. This was a very fun demo and it was pretty long. I like the graphics of this game and the music is lovely! I immediately wanted to play more.
Will I Buy The Full Game?
I bought the full game right after completing the demo! It was another game that was on sale for $2 so how could I resist?? The full price for this game is $25 CDN(shown below). I don't think I’d personally pay that much for this game so I suggest waiting for this one to go on sale before you get it!
Price
$25.00 CDN
The Almost Gone
This demo really hooked me, the story is very mysterious and intriguing and OF COURSE, the demo ends on a huge cliffhanger… I think this demo is great to play to see if you are interested in the story. It’s also important to note that this game deals with sensitive subjects like mental health and abusive families. So if those topics aren’t for you definitely don’t play this. But if dark stories interest you, definitely try out the demo! The gameplay involves exploring a house and solving various puzzles to proceed further into the house to eventually get out of the house.
Will I Buy The Full Game?
I already have! It was on sale for like $2.00 so how could I resist? I need to know how this story ends! I am excited to finish the rest of this game. One downside is that I have to replay the parts I already played in the demo so that’s why I didn’t finish the game just because I didn’t feel like redoing everything I just did. But I’m excited to play it in full soon!
Price
$12.59 CDN (as of April 07, 2022 it is on sale for $2.51! But $12 is still a great price for this)
