5 NEW Switch Games I Can't Put Down AND Some to AVOID!

[@XRoshan]

"just get it on the PC', developers should probably be sued if they make their switch games so bad that switch bloggers are telling people to buy it on another platform.

[@Eeowna]

It’s playable just long load times, games have launched far worse than this one haha

[@XRoshan]

@@EeownaI would say the developers of those other games ought to be sued, too. First, even!

[@jamesvanderbilt201]

@@XRoshanyou literally have every right to sue them (in the US)

[@rhayar.9153]

Whats wrong with ppl to directly think sueing should be an option? Just because ppl didnt deliver a perfect job for everyone? Watch reviews before you buy and dont be so petty... ppl these days really just looking for bad stuff.

[@shadowmystic6350]

Reality is that developers need to jump through a million hoops to work w Nintendo nvm optimize their game for a really not up to par console. I suggest looking up why a game like Minecraft is super optimized for mobile but barely runs on switch

[@TomatoSoupful]

It's a shame Mineko's Night Market has this many issues cause I've really enjoyed playing it. There's something so soothing about it, like petting a cat. I hope the team can fix it as soon as possible because it deserves to be played. On another note: it makes me SO happy that you've been playing Eastward. I'll never get over how incredible the game is.

[@nicked_fenyx]

Stray Gods is *so* good. I'm getting ready to do a second playthrough pretty soon. It's honestly on the same level as Beacon Pines for me, and that's high praise. As someone who has taken music theory and dabbled in writing songs, the sheer amount of skill required to create music that can swap genres multiple times in the same song without sounding incredibly disjointed is mindblowing. And yes, I cried a few times, too. A new favorite, to be sure.

[@acedemi5229]

I really want to play Mineko's Night Market, but I'd be playing on Switch, so I think I'll wait to buy it until the optimazation and bugs have been fixed. Thanks for the head's up! I also want the new Harvest Moon game, but I'm waiting for a sale.

[@seichuus7768]

for me, the characters/relationship building in farming sims is the main draw. Stardew valley is maybe an exception, but even then, the characters are always so wonderful every time, i find myself learning new things every playthrough. It's really too bad about fey farm, it looks so cute otherwise :( THAT SAID-- winds of anthos is the first HM title i've been interested since natsume stole the title, and i'm almost impressed enough by that fact alone to give it a try lol

[@Momo-po5tn]

You should play rune factory 4 if you love story and deep characters! The routes go really deep. Get RF4S

[@KT28818]

Relationships are the main draw for me as well. Though I will admit that there are few farming sims that I have the patience for. I also like games like Fire Emblem for the relationship building aspects. Are there any games you would suggest based on the relationship building features?

[@Momo-po5tn]

@@KT28818 rf4 has lots of different bachelors/Bachelorette. About 3hrs each of their storyline if you date them, do all the dates and their marriage events. Besides that, theres lots of platonic neighboorhood events that happen

[@HolicChan]

@@KT28818 definitely rune factory 4 relationships feel like they matter a lot in that game! After that I would say rune factory 5 and then 3! The dating in tune factory 5 is easily the most intense rykers straight up made me a little teary eyed hah and the friendships you build in rf4 by far feel the most important. And I say this as long term fire emblem fan :) hope that helps! Unless you’ve already played RF

[@gracefulannie-grcflannie-]

I'm obsessed with Fae Farm right now. I'm trying to slow myself down on the main story quests. I love that you can pretty much choose how you wanna play. Don't wanna mess with your animals right now? No problem. You can spend days just fishing if you want. I first watched Once Upon a Time when I got sick and had to wait hours in the ER waiting room. I started watching it, then, like most things, got distracted by something else. I think I'm on Season 4. I really need to get back to it.

[@natrb6344]

I can't believe that Mineko's Night Market has so many bugs and the load screen time is INSUFFERABLE... 😢 I was so excited for this game, but every time I play I can only play for like 2 days in-game, I can't stand it any longer 😵‍💫

[@shortythepimp]

Truly, thank you for your honesty! I bought Mineko's Night Market as I was watching your live stream and it looked so fun, I hope they fix the load screens soon 😖 I am loving it otherwise!

[@lucascavalcanti8110]

I’ve personally played Sea of Stars and it is a masterpiece. If you are unsure to buy it, just do. No regrets at all.

[@xkristixx]

I'm not sure if you ever played "A Street Cat's Tale" but I highly recommend it! For cat lovers, it will be a painful but also at times satisfying experience to discover all the endings for the poor little street kitten who is trying to reunite with his mom. ❤ I played it last year and can't yet bring myself to pick it up after my cat (who looks like the little kitten in the game) passed. Fortunately I was able to unlock all the endings though. It's a short indie game, not the best story telling, BUT it was pull on your heartstrings seeing each ending.

[@letlizplay]

Awww I'm so sorry about your cat :( this sounds like such a cute game. Maybe one day you can go back and play it, and it'll feel like reuniting with a friend

[@toykeyper8914]

So sorry for the loss of your kitty

[@marzettik]

Fae Farm has spoiled me! No loading screens, bulk crafting, and multiplayer! I bought Paleo Pines and the loading screens is driving me nuts.

[@Tea4Toff]

I feel like one thing that could have made the Surrounding landscape more lively would be traveling merchants. Or street stalls where you can buy fruits and vegetables from that region. And of course herds of wild animals like horses or yaks. And the ability to jump would have made exploring so much more exciting. I wanted to buy Harvest Moon the winds of Anthos, but currently i don‘t really see why, since i have FaeFarm and Paleo Pines already.

[@Melodias_Tha]

The Cosmic wheel of Sisterhood Was a wonderfull experience*.* I loved eveything about it 😊

[@Eeowna]

it needs SO MUCH MORE HYPE

[@teukbook]

I was excited for Mineko's Night Market but it got really grindy really quickly. That may be a bit on me as I don't think I expected it to be as much of a management-style game, but a lot of the critiques I've read from others resonate - def on the lookout for new games.

[@Eeowna]

It does get better tbf, but yeah I was expecting it to be more life sim than broke sim 😂

[@teukbook]

@@Eeowna lol right? working everyday to exhaustion and somehow having zero money is not something I need to simulate. let me live out my dreams of being a witchy farmer!

[@andromeda232]

I love mineko's night market , I can even put up with some of the smaller glitches and the lag, but as I don't have a steam account I have had to get it on Switch. I have been stopped dead in my tracks by a massive bug that makes continuing the main story impossible. For a game that has been in development for so long I really didn't exspect the the bugs to be this bad

[@Eeowna]

it's a shame it seems to be switch exclusive issues too

[@prettyfacedbasketcase]

where are you in the story?

[@andromeda232]

I gpt the 2 floor of the agents' HQ its a bug that has effected a lot people, I think you can continue with quests and the night market but not the main storyline @@prettyfacedbasketcase

[@gideongrace1977]

I did. I just knew it was gonna be bad. The art style changed like, three times. That's not the mark of people who know what they're doing.

[@valentinacampos2982]

Same here, I thought it was my PC, but it seems like it is a general problem. It is also a bit annoying that you cannot travel between locations, you always have to return to the town.

[@robbinova]

Just started playing Eastward after seeing it on your last video about the 4 day preview. I pretty much played it all weekend, it's so fun and frustrating at the same time. As you mentioned it's all about learning boss actions rather than building on skills so for me it takes some getting used to but I've enjoyed it so much that I'll probably just buy it outright.

[@luciddreamqueen812]

The battle mechanics you describe for sea of stars sounds a lot like the Mario and Luigi rpgs. Things like hitting the attack button at the perfect time doing more damage, bouncing attacks back and forth, etc. and the games in pixel art style? I’ll have to look into getting it!

[@jayward238]

The Switch version of Mineko's Night Market is rough. I love the game but the load times especially when crafting and digging for clay are atrocious. It was disheartening grinding out horrible load times to gain clay to open up the Ramen shop to find out it just blacks out and wont load, so you have to just reset the game. Then I find the same glitch at the headquarters when trying to go to the 2nd floor. These 2 bugs make the game impossible to finish and are massive mistakes to a game. I guess play testing doesn't exist anymore because they should have never released this game in this condition. Overall I love the game, hope they update it soon so I can finish it.

[@Eeowna]

The grinding defo feels less grindy when the load times aren't in it that's for sure!

[@silvervial]

The only thing that could make me love Fae Farm even more is if the days were longer. 18 min is too short, way too short. There needs to be a slider of some sort, like Coral Island or Wylde Flowers where you can change the length of the days. I want to totally immerse myself in the environments and soak in the beautiful graphics, but instead I run around like crazy trying to get everything done. That is literally my only complaint about the game, that each day goes by in the blink of an eye when I really want to savor my time in game. Unfortunately, Fae Farm is the only game in this video that has an art style I love, I'm sure I miss out on some great games because I don't like the art, like Mineko's Night Market, or I simply can't see it well enough, like all pixel art games. But that's not a problem when there are games like Dreamlight Falley, Palia, Fae Farm, and the upcoming Loftia and Puff Pals Island Skies to make me happy.

[@Eeowna]

yeah I am hoping the DLC might bring it in!

[@lilybee_]

I feel the same about the art style. Games like Starlight Valley are a no go for me because I can't see what's going on. ACNH was the perfect style for me and I'm loving Fae Farm.

[@toykeyper8914]

You can lengthen the days on Wylde Flowers?! I do really love the game but was just thinking the days are far too short, gonna have to figure out how to change it!

[@Meimi132]

I'm stll really enjoying Mineko's Night Market even with the slow loading and music stuttering. The good outweighs the bad and I'm more than happy to have supported the developers before they patch the problems. (I might be bias as I'd been looking forward to this games for aaaaaaages, BUT I didn't get it at release as I had other games to play but got it last week after looking at reviews about the issues and decided it was worth it anyway XD)

[@mintendogaming]

I loved loved Cosmic Wheel as well! It was so much more than I expected it to be and I was genuinely sad when I finished the game! I am loving Fae Farm! It’s so easy to put hours into the game! I didn’t know you can get different colored animals OMGGG!!!!!!! I’m trying to finish the story FIRST then do a bunch of other stuff 😊 (I’m in chapter 7!) I am liking Sea of Stars a ton too but haven’t finished it yet!! I turned on the setting to refill my HP after each fight bc i’m a baby gamer and need the extra help haha 😂 Great Video !!!!!

[@arcanecave]

I really enjoyed Cosmic Wheel! Definitely not for kids or someone who doesn’t like reading having creativity. Crazy it has 7 endings! / Finally played Beacon Pines too and so amazing! Loved the character art and art style. Also had me sobbing often. Thank you for the recommendations as always!

[@AlexDayz]

Might try Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood though gonna look into trigger warning as it seems to be on the heavier side. Being able to customize the cards though seems like a cool unique thing though. One game you should definitely check out is Arcadia Fallen. It’s a visual novel where you play as an alchemist apprentice (which you can customize) as you investigate the mysterious occurrences happening around town. Your choices determine your personality as well as the outcome of the companions you meet along the way with four of the five being able to be romanced or not. Also has some light puzzle elements though they’re not to prominent. My biggest gripe with it is they do not do the best job of explaining the alchemy and it’s very difficult to tell if an ingredient is volatile or not. Luckily alchemy is only required in some areas so it’s not too big of a deal for me. Aside from that though I’ve loved it so far and definitely think it deserves more attention and love and would love for more people to talk about it

[@henriettereines6273]

It's a really good game

[@rainy5517]

Ive played the sea of stars demo a while back before release and i fell in love 💕💕 the art is gorgeous and i love the playstyle.

[@aljmayr4826]

i'd put paleo pines on the miss list too, it's embarrassingly buggy. the art team did an amazing job with all the dinos but even at 30$ i feel overcharged

I’ve only played a few hours so far which is why I left it off for now

[@nemesisgenesis2995]

Fae farm is a complete avoid for the price

[@sarag_50]

eastward has to be the most incredible video game to exist i am SO EXCITED for the dlccccc

I bought Eastward 10 months ago but never opened it. It looks amazing. I really need to get into that.

[@toykeyper8914]

It's so fun! I'm hooked

[@ManaKayla]

I was waiting years for minekos night market and I put it down because of the loading screens. Hopefully it’s fixed soon

[@FloraSprout]

I'm so disappointed because it's really not much of a game. The gameplay loop is tedious in a way that doesn't have a satisfying payoff. I mean I guess I'm glad they eventually finished it and I know the developer had some mental health stuff going on but yikes it's bad. A shadow of the game it was sold as for all those years. Even ignoring all of the technical issues that show no one gave the game a proper playthrough before the final build shipped, the game isn't fun.

[@StandAloneSoul]

Your channel was randomly recommended to me and I couldnt be more grateful. The forst showcased game alone has absolutely blown my mind, it seems like it has everything I love while I have never heard of it, even with a group of friends who have similar nichè tastes. Thank you! I greatly value your opinion. :)

[@Lilylaina]

Mineko's Night Market is also coming to Xbox/PC Gamepass towards the end of this month, so that might be an option for anyone with access to those platforms!

[@RaquelMelo97]

Thank you for this information

[@TheLisclark]

You just saved me $20, thanks Lilylaina!

[@rebeccaa7471]

The loading screens are SO frustrating! I'd be happier if the music played smoothly, but the fact that the screens both take a long time *and* the music skips is really frustrating. I think people waited very patiently for this game so it's definitely frustrating that such an obvious issue went to production and then release.

[@hannahheerey646]

Oh wow I think the not being able to jump down small ledges in Harvest Moon might be a deal breaker for me. That would drive me mad! I’m so used to Zelda where you can go up or down every single surface haha

[@sarahreed-eurogamergirl]

I've put Fae Farm down until they fix the bugs as well as slow down time and pause time in all menus. I really love what's in the game, but it's just so un-cozy for me right now. I've got Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, Sea of Stars and Stray Gods on my wishlist. Hoping to get them when they go on sale.

[@chickadee8180]

So glad you're loving Eastward! I haven't played it in a while, but I was immediately sucked in by the atmosphere and the INCREDIBLE AESTHETIC VIBES. Not to mention the weird, trippy fridge save feature :)

[@Denyel007]

I picked up Eastward over the weekend and while I’m not too far into it I have been enjoying that. I have also played some of Fae Farm (and that’s been good too!) while I wait for Dave the Diver and Palia to come to the switch!

[@themichaels]

Does the 18 minute day in Fae Farm not drive anyone else crazy? It's hard to get a good grind in when you're being sent back to bed so often! The relationship aspect is not that important to me either but I was pretty disappointed that even after you get married to an NPC, their dialogue is exactly the same!

[@daniellemeier9789]

I tend to avoid subbing much as I hate a cluttered sub feed. But I've found myself watching all your videos day of release and loving your opinion and reviews. You give your opinion without bashing a game just because you personally did vibe with it. It's clear and informative, and your voice is so calm with no crazy yelling for no reason 😅 (except in the lives ❤) so here's a sub and even debating a membership at this point Oh and epic to hear about sea of stars, just got it for free on ps5 plus!

[@SwedePotato314]

Sea of Stars and Silent Hope have taken over my entire life. I wanted so badly to love Faefarm. I don’t hate it and I enjoy it but I think I let my hopes get too high which I rarely do, but I’m sure that’s what it is. I think I just had a totally different idea in my head of what it was and it just didn’t quite click. Master Detective Archives Rain Code has been really fun too. It’s funny and doesn’t take itself to seriously but you can’t be too sensitive (or young) to play it. I’m so glad you love Sea of Stars. I honestly think I had a relapse into depression because of how sad and empty I felt after I finished Octopath Traveller 2. That game is amazing, and Sea of Stars has filled that void completely. I can’t wait to see what they do next.

[@annienunyabiz6627]

Little info about Eastward. It's 50% off until Oct 11 for $12.49, so now is the best time to get it if you've been considering it.

[@Jananabanana1]

I personally really love winds of anthos, No it's not a perfect game or even really close to perfect but it's got its charm. I don't quite understand it yet, why I cannot put the game down for more than a day but I find myself going back for more. Right now I am focusing on unlocking new areas, as for the stamina depletion, don't let this keep you from picking this game up, especially because of the warp stones, which are essentially small statues of said harvest goddess and every area has one you can warp to. Once I unlocked this mechanic I barely lose stamina, now I do agree the world could be more beautiful to look at but there are areas that are unique and you wouldn't understand what I mean by that until you get further in the game, trust that the exploration is there. Some things I do not like.. is that unlike one world which in my opinion the marriage candidates had SO much personality to them, here not so much, conversation is bland, one girl's personality is pretty much just "fish". Also you cannot expand your farming plot. Other than that.. I love the game and it's worth the price for me.

Ok, speaking of pricing. I’ve noticed that digital copies of the switch games tend to be more than digital copies of the same games on other platforms. I couldn’t find an explanation on my own. Can someone explain that to me? I’m mostly just curious at this point. Thanks in advance!

[@kembreenglebrick]

Because they sell you the deluxe version where on steam you get the option to get the cheaper one.

[@charliefen]

Some may find it weird that I love playing games on my Switch, especially ones like this, and will pick that over any other console. That being said, if the game isn’t well optimised, I’ll check it out on the Steam Deck. Hoping Mineko’s Night Market is on there! I am really considering Fae Farm, but if I did I would get it physically for Switch. Physical copies at least keep their worth (not that I plan on selling it) and just feels like you get more somehow. SEA OF STARS IS AMAZING! ❤ Garl is a sweetheart!

I think My Time in Portia on the switch has prepared me for the long loading times of Mineko’s Night Market 😂. I’ve already encountered a glitch where I had to start a whole day over, but that’s normal for my Time in Portia lol. I’m more inclined to pick up Wind of Anthos over FaeFarm. Character dialogue is a big thing for me and lack of dialogue is a dealbreaker. I do want to try FaeFarm eventually, but the steep price increase on switch makes me not want to get it on switch. I’ll probably wait til I get a pc one day to try it

[@seachel.dunk1]

Girl! Me and my bestie (several states between us unfortunately) just started Once Upon a Time too! I had already seen up to season 2, but the rest is all new 😍 I’ve been playing Fae Farm and Paleo Pines while I watch. I think I’ll like paleo better, once I spend the same amount of time on it. ❤

[@theelziebub]

Mineko's Night Market is so good, the characters and dialogue are brilliant and the concept is so much fun, but I agree. It's so buggy on Switch and it breaks my heart because it could be amazing. I'm gonna be controversial and say I enjoyed Fae Farm, but I wouldn't rave about it. The main story was over so fast and most of the villagers were kinda one note. With a few tweeks it could have been awesome but I was kinda over it within a couple of weeks. I'm putting all my stock in Palia now haha!

Idk if you’ve covered it already but Bear and Breakfast is also HORRIBLY optimized for the switch. The menus are impossible to navigate with a controller. I was told they were aware of the issue but I’m not sure if they’ve fixed it yet. So sad because it was really fun otherwise.

I agree. Normally people mean art style when they say graphics, but in the case, harvest moon on Switch has always looks so cheap graphically. Like the squares on the ground when farming. It looks so bad, that little details like that are what makes it look really bad

[@LunaBianca1805]

[@Drachsss]

[@charliefen]

Dreamlight Valley has stamina but has never bothered me as much, not sure why? Maybe because it is so easy to get it back instantly. Also you can make meals that like supercharge your stamina, meaning you can glide around. So maybe that’s why, I don’t know?

[@peanuthead5280]

As much as I want to love mineko's night market, it's a little unplayable right now. The game loading times are too long. It stutters and lags to the point that I want to just close the game and wait for an update. Even the loading screen animation freezes. It happens too often for it to be enjoyable. Along with the characters that are kind of bland, they attempt to break the 4th wall too much. I don't need them to tell me I'm playing a game every other dialogue bubble. I really wish devs would take their time to release a polished game and not release undercooked potential games. The cats and aesthetic can only take a game so far. The arrow pads aren't functional on the switch, only the joystick works for selections. The music stutters frequently throughout this game. This really needs a patch, but I dont see that coming anytime soon. *Switch version*

[@Eeowna]

yeah the steam deck version isn't verified but runs way better

[@sanctuary_polaris]

My biggest issue with winds of anthos was how short the days are and the walking costing stamina PLUS crops, recipes, animals and tools being dlc. Farming sims need to add a like time slider cause i prefer to have long days (ik some prefer the short days) but the absolute short like 8 minute days in anthos just makes me feel super rushed

I played a 15 minute demo of Mineko‘s Night Market at the Nintendo booth at an Indie con earlier this year and it was bad bad. I didn‘t even hit any of the hard glitches, but after a 1:30 load screen (that cut into my play time btw) the German version just straight up had all letters that don‘t exist in English (ü, ö, ä, ß) completely missing, just leaving gaps in the middle of words. If you can‘t even support all the letters you need for the languages you‘re localising into, and also obviously nobody bother to check the localisation, what are you even doing as a games studio

[@baefamily8437]

[@annam.6494]

The pricing for harvest moon is a terrible decision. Also don’t love that there’s already dlc out… why not just say it should’ve come with the base game but they got greedy and wanted more money… also upgrading tools and things shouldn’t be locked behind paywalls… it’s a shame because the devs worked really hard on the game and they don’t get to control the pricing and it really overshadows everything else about the game

The stamina depletion is not an issue once you open fast traveling and mounts. Plus you can increase your stamina with wisp fruit. I don't think $50 is overpriced as pretty much every HM game has been that price on consoles. So glad I decided to wait on buying Mineko's Market. I am enjoying Fae Farm, but I just feel it is so slow moving and the romance options are boring. I still feel it is way over priced! Sea of Stars is AMAZING! The story, characters, and battle mechanics are so well done. I am glad that it was free for PS Plus Premium members, but it's so good I felt guilty for not actually buying it. I am just starting Eastward as I am excited about the upcoming DLC. I am enjoying so far!

I think my main issue is locking tool upgrades behind a pay wall, the rest makes more sense

[@latristessdurera8763]

So glad you’ve come round to Eastwood. Class game. I’m going to check out sea of stars and Mineko’s Night Market when there go physical

[@NothingReallyMatters08]

I haven’t been able to go pass the second floor of the old newspaper building in mineko’s. It keeps glitching and it makes me so sad because I looked forward to play playing the game for so long and is basically unplayable. 😢

[@Murky_lurky]

Great video! I was really glad to see Sea of Stars on here as it's currently included in the Playstation subscription and I've been thinking of trying it! Also totally saw Sam in the dialogue box in Eastward and thought you were dropping a sneaky inside joke lol

[@Eeowna]

LMAOO No sadly that's just her name, and nothing I did

[@Lulu92Pie]

I have Mineko's Night Market on Steam and the load times aren't nearly as long. I hope they get the Switch one fixed soon!

[@jodiemcclure7854]

I found fae farm physically at Walmart and since i already have it digitally I bought it for a friend and she loves it

[@Majorana.dryade]

I'm sad about Mineko's market. Hope they fix the bugs soon then I will buy it 😊

[@cheerssteph]

Eastward incredible! The end bosses were HARD though

[@Eeowna]

if it gets to that point my brother will have to do them for me when he visits next LMAOO

[@RosePhantoma]

to play devil's advocate, i think a wonderful life was mostly a fresh coat of paint and a distancing from natsume on top of the original (though i don't have it yet)

[@fayecole9183]

Ahh I screamed when you mentioned sea of stars it’s my freakin jam

[@lilmisspotterhead]

I tried so hard to get into Eastward because I really wanted to like the game, and I actually got really far in the game (I was almost done Chapter 6). But eventually I just had to give up because I was not enjoying it at all, and it was just too slow for me. Definitely want to check out Cosmic Wheel and Stray Gods! Really great video!

[@dragontears]

I was the same. I really really wanted to love Eastward. It had a lot of stuff that really should have appealed to me in theory, but for some reason I just couldn't connect with it. I have no idea what it was. I think it was how long it was taking me to get to the surface. Every time I thought I was out I was somehow back underground, and I wasn't sure if it was because I was making some sort of mistake or not. I was going into different areas each time and facing different bosses, so I didn't think so, but it just felt so redundant.

[@lilmisspotterhead]

​@@dragontears yeah, I felt the same about it being redundant, and the dialogue did not interest me at all. I'm fine with reading a lot of dialogue, but the dialogue in Eastward just did not grab me for some reason.

[@miserylemon]

Same! I haven't played any of the others and was putting them on my list until she mentioned Eastward which really just didn't click for me. I remember finding the dialogue annoying and just didn't enjoy it at all. Maybe I gave up too quickly but yeah not for me.

[@MagipieMM]

I really wanted to play Eastward. I am so glad it was free for a time, as I found that I could not play it due to the blinking lights. I wish more games allowed for them to be turned off in the settings.

[@graciee6275]

Aw man I just bought minekos night market for switch and I was so excited about it , I was gonna start it as soon as I’m done with night in the woods

[@Eeowna]

it's better now than it was when I made this vid, I believe the bugs have mostly been addressed it's now just the loading times

[@chocokitty12345]

I just played the demo for Dave the diver that's is set to come out on the switch Oct 26 and was surprised at how much I like it. I can't wait to try some of the games on this list. I've been having trouble getting into a new game

[@fahsky]

Discovered your channel randomly, very cozy indeed! Glad to see some of these also on Steam, I've been enjoying my Steam Deck!

[@sharpelbows]

Cosmic wheel sisterhood is such a great game! I love the soundtrack too!

[@shemoyacarty4307]

Yh wish it was longer

[@sharpelbows]

@@shemoyacarty4307 this is the only game that I've played more than once. I'm starting round three soon

[@itzaestheticparadise4690]

I unfortunately cant get mineko market other then on the switch bc the steam version is only for pc and i have a Mac… 😭 Edit: WAIT NVM I MAY BE ABLE TO GET IT I THINK MY MAC CAN HANDLE THIS GAME- IT SAYS ITS ALSO FOR MAC!!!

[@JackieSpania]

I love Mineko more than I hate the lagging/load time 😅 Another cute game I really like rt now is A Tiny Sticker Tale.

[@Eeowna]

It was doable until the game breaking bugs started 😂

[@shawns4354]

Would love for @Eeowna to do a vid on Night Stones. A cozy adventure game that is part LoZ and part A Short Hike.

[@ellielondon591]

The village from harvest moon and the village in Harvestella look so so similar! (I played the Harvestella Demo and absolutely hated it 😂)

[@randomcount6173]

Dear Eowna, could you make a video about wholesome out and about? It's an upcoming cozy and educational game, so you won't feel guilty when playing it 😁. In this game you learn plant identification for foraging as well does it provide cooking and crafting recipes for real life. Also it broadens your farming knowledge like not so many other farming games does for instance it teaches companion planting (which plants should be planted next to each other for them to grow better). Moreover, if you like romance it will be included as well. Currently they are running their kickstarter campaign! Ps: I know I requested this some days before, but maybe my comment got lost by all the comments you receive.

[@thegodfeather9862]

I cried out with joy seeing one of those cards from the Cosmic Wheel of Sisterhood. That's Donovan, from Red Strings Club, which means, Deconstructeam has a new game out! WOOH! I loved their games, particularly Eternal Home Floristy and how they interweave unique game mechanics with plot, and queer themes. Just not sure if my heart can hold up to another of their games. Red String Club destroyed me.

[@ohleander02]

My spouse plays Mineko's on Xbox Series X and it freezes so often and crashes so much that even though she enjoys playing it...she spends so much time being frustrated.

[@mimicri326]

I started Eastward because of the upcoming DLC just like you said. Before I felt the game was too sad for me but the DLC changes everything. So far I'm really enjoying it, it has a lot of dialogue but it's really worth playing, the design, the color scheme is just beatiful, the story is really surprising and it's not too difficult, perfect for a cozy evening.

[@thelemon5069]

I started getting bored because it was too easy

[@mondmaedle]

Great video! I loved Once upon a time too. :)

[@Eeowna]

I need someone in my life who looks at me the same way Charming looks at Snow :')
