My Top 10 Cozy Games of 2024! (Nintendo Switch)

[@NCephas07]

Added some of these to my wishlist. Still haven't found a game I love and obsess over as much as I did spiritfairer

[@kieshawndavis]

Yasss! Spiritfarer is my absolute favorite game to play!!

[@dhai6882]

Spiritfarer is one of my favs ever. At the moment I'm totally into Chicory: A colorful Tale and to me it's also totally addictive. Rakuen is a very lovely and touching game too.

[@SableCatDog]

Same. I've been thinking about replaying it lately and I think I'm going to. But I'll have a box of tissues ready this time!

[@Heihachi3110]

love seeing Moonstone Island get the praise it deserves!! definitely also high up on my top 10 list for 2024 games

[@felisfelidae6113]

Rowan, can you do a video that can rate/review all cat themed games, from Little Kitty, Big City; Wylde Flowers, Stray to lesser known indie games? Present & upcoming games? what would really help is to list all the games with a time stamp 😻

[@maxchowdhury7689]

Thank you so much for all your recommendations of cozy games. I’ve discovered so many great games because of you and I’m so grateful. ☺️

[@chicageek]

That’s a great selection! The two cozy games I’ve played most this year are Coral Island and My time at Sandrock. These days I’m having fun with Luma Island, and I want to try some more (Balatro, Moonstone Island) during the Holidays! Too many games, too little time 😂

[@two-nichegaming]

There's nothing better than getting overly distracted with a side quest with no consequence to the main story, some great picks you got there!

[@sstrugglinginthe]

I am playing Echos of Wisdom and it’s my first Zelda game and I love it! It’s the perfect combination of combat, puzzles, and a main storyline that you can choose to follow or come back to. It is my definition of cozy. 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@UmatsuObossa]

If you love that, definitely look into other top-down 2D Zeldas as they are all almost the same feel. I'd especially recommend Minish Cap

[@em3ra1ddrag0n]

Another amazing video as always! Hope you have a Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!! stitch. got me into Shikaku (the Japanese logic puzzle it’s based on, similar to Sudoku). If you like Magical Delicacy, you might like an oldie but goodie: Battle Chef Brigade which includes platforming, battling, and puzzles! I have to get back to playing your top 3. Glad to hear you enjoyed so many different cozy games this year! Balatro, Dorfromantik, and Wylde Flowers were my most-played cozy games this year, which are also some of my favorites of the year.

[@bubblegumplastic]

This is such a great top 10. I think my favourite cosy plays this year have been Stitch, Powerwash Simulator, Balatro, Art of Balance, Fall Guys, Virtual Families Cook Off Chapter 2 Farm Life, House Flipper and Wildfrost The one I didn't enjoy as much as I thought I would was Mini Motorways

[@shawnmckenzie8699]

Good list. It's great to see Snufkin Melody of Moominvlley in your top 10.

[@SiOR3N]

Can we talk about how amazing your eye makeup is?! 😍

[@downthispath6538]

Balatro... I've bought this game 4 times now... worth every penny.

[@urh7844]

Moonstone island has alot of glitches that are gamebreaking on Nintendo Switch. Im stuck un the same place and cant play it unless i start from beginning. I heard they fixed it but im not sure

[@azhhikari]

I'm so glad to see that you like Bandle Tale and Echoes of Wisdom too. I already have most of the games on your list into my to-buy list, so thank you for the recommendations.

[@CozyCouch_Gaming]

Always nice to see a new video you are doing a really good job to present the games right without overhyping or down grading unneccesary ❤ Loved the plucky squire❤ haven't had the chance yet to play taverntalk but it is definitly on my list actually hoping for a physical release 😅

[@Heihachi3110]

I think this has also finally convinced me to get Bandle Tale

[@rilstrup83]

Don't be afraid to look up a guide if u get stuck. It isn't exactly straight forward in what u need to do.

[@lucianacarvalho3136]

I stop playing after a while cause of the grinding

[@troigrl]

First I play Zelda Echoes of Wisdom forever, then Mario and Luigi Brothership now I’m so in love with Toem! Toem has been the most fun I will really miss once I finish it

[@HighOnCosyGaming]

#6 Snufin Melody Of Moominvalley was soo cute! I did the DLC a few days ago and it was short and sweet.

[@CozyGamingwithSara]

I enjoyed your count down! I don't have a switch but I've been trying to decide what games to buy from Steam while the sale is going on so I put Moonstone Island on my list! Thank You!!

[@greenalfoil]

Plucky Squire was great but has a lot of bugs so if you get stuck don’t be afraid to look up why.

[@TheGhostlyCaptain]

I love Stitch! I've recently gotten into cosy games, and it's one of my favourite games to play in bed before I drop off to sleep.

[@MirandaPurpleClouds]

Moonstone island is my favorite game of the year! But i loved a game called Behind the frame: the finest scenery. It was very short though but im excited to play their new game that came out earlier this year

[@justsophia22]

Loved Loddlenaut since it came out on Steam! So glad it came to Switch so more people could enjoy what a cozy lil experience it is! 💜 and my son absolutely adores The Plucky Squire, definitely one of my top recs of the year!

[@lexigirltx]

So glad to see Botany Manor on your list. My mom and I are playing it and she is loving it! ❤

[@lookitsdebby]

Soon as you said "made by graveyard keeper team" I was sold on bandle tale! Also wondering about your thoughts on bloomtown?

[@rilstrup83]

EOW is my top game and my second is Plucky Squire. They were both so fun.

[@Rachel-g2k]

Commenting because I love the content and want this to fall in others' feeds!

[@rititabatatafrita]

I know there’s a Tavern Talk DLC, but I can’t find it to purchase on the Nintendo e shop 😭 Love your videos always ❤ Happy Holidays 🥰

[@AbagailGrayce]

For me: tavern talk, moonstone island, and little kitty big city!!!! ❤

[@thomasherzog3318]

My favorite cozy game is Wylde Flowers. I wish the main story had gone on longer, or there were more stories. :) Haven't found anything quite so cute and engaging yet. I hope I do.

[@corpsious]

Wonderful list :) I have no idea how you categorize Balatro as cozy though, it feels like injecting meth into my eyeballs haha, it's intense and stressful. But it definitely has some of the satisfaction / ticking boxes elements when you get pieces you need for a combo

[@gardengirl7216]

YES to more cozy games with great stories!

[@narkmoop]

I got Magical Delicacies because of this video and am loving it so far! Would love to see you stream it!

[@Lisa313shoe]

Ok I see you love puzzles I don’t mind some light puzzle games but not so intense overall great list 😊

[@imjayhime]

I’ve been wanting to play Plucky Squire so badly 😩 definitely gonna have to get Tavern Talk in the future. It looks like it’s straight out of an isekai anime.

[@TheCasey0811]

Thanks for sharing!! you going to do a top 10 of all time video?

[@allylila]

I absolutely adore Sticky Business. You just have to be in a creative mood to play it.

[@brentmiller9520]

I recommend Arranger for that puzzle adventure you talked about loving

[@exaltedeyed5334]

Thank you very much for this! I've discovered some amazing and promising games

[@jazminnicole8085]

tavern talk is literally the exact same as coffee talk lol 😂👏🏾 i wonder if its the same company. i live in seattle so coffee talk was a must play for me as well as the last of us

[@rilstrup83]

Do u prefer Tavern Talk more or Coffee Talk? They look similar to me and I am unsure which to tey 1st.

[@lebiasa]

Just bought my Nintendo Switch and I've been playing some of the free games that are available but I was looking for something with a more compelling storyline and a more interesting gameplay. I loved so many games on this list, I'm now gonna have to choose which one I'll be buying 😅

[@andrewturner7780]

I'm embarrassed to say how long it was before I figured out why Fields of Mistria WASN'T on this list. For a while there I thought it'd been 'cancelled' for some reason. I DID eventually figure it out.

[@jessicaspillman58]

I’m finishing up EoW now and I have loved it so much!

[@verytrey]

Will you do an updated cozy game of all time list?

[@sarahreed-eurogamergirl]

Love Stitch! Such a great relaxing game! Just got Balatro a few days ago so haven't played it very much yet, but one run was pretty wild in that I got pairs to be very valuable, more valuable than any other hand type. And we got a joker that gave us stone cards. So when we played pairs, we could stick several stone cards in there. Looking forward to playing it more. Tavern Talk and Moonstone Island are on my wishlist. Hoping for some money for the holidays!

[@Lydgendary]

Great list, I've added a few to my wishlist!

[@kaicoco92]

Your specific recommendations are perfect for my to buy list thank you for your niche and honest reviews ❤xx

[@Lexi-M]

Love your number 1 pick! It’s mine too :)

[@allylila]

See, I prefer stitch on Mobile. The controls are better on a touch screen, in my opinion.

[@bubblegumplastic]

Does your Switch not have a touch screen? I play it via touch screen on my Switch

[@allylila]

@ I don’t like touching my Switch screen. Can’t stand any smudges or fingerprints.

[@Btweenthepages]

I need to restart Moonstone once Stopped I am so lost and overwhelmed lol

[@Turbo_Waitress]

What is the puzzle game at 2:58?

[@CRB1984]

DORFROMANTIK - it’s currently $14.99 in the US.

[@sanne_vd]

I already own half of these games, and I just wishlisted the other half! Thanks for the inspiration ❤

[@PetiteDeRae]

I lost my life to Ooblets this year. It’s like someone went into my head and made a game

[@CookiePugGirl]

Tavern talk ❤ I love, love, love this game. Definitely my fav switch game this year ☺️

[@Panda_Biscuits]

Love that Moonstone Island was in your top 3! Also..............who is your favorite Pokemon?

[@TriforceLiz]

Echoes of Wisdom at #1 is accurate♥

[@Flesmus]

Top 3: Coral island, Luma Island, Animal Crossing. XD

[@tinahoefs1455]

I love solitairica for mobile so will probably like balatro too.

[@okllo]

time to cozy up in bed and watch ayyy

[@wiktorsolka4601]

If you liked Moonstone Island, check out also Monster Sanctuary! 😊

[@vanillabeanic]

Tip to gain new subscribers: try making let's play videos- i know your audience will eat it up. The videos don't have to be long either, you could use a bit of clever editing to shorten footage.

[@theelziebub]

YES Eeowna!! EoW is my GOTY. It was so much fun and absolutely adorable. I loved Tri (and Conde) so much. I hope we see him again some day. It was awesome seeing Zelda be her bad ass self. I really hope we get another game where we can play as both her and Link together (imagine a GTA style character switcher haha!).

[@maydieschneiderin]

Have you ever tried 'Yaoling: Mythical Journey'? 🙂 (it is on steam, not switch unfortunately.)

[@KatherinyAngela]

Does anyone know anything about Pixelshire?

[@politicaljunkie]

Can you please list the names of the games and/or name your chapters? I liked one of the games you highlighted, but can't figure out what it's called. I'll figure it out from context, but seems odd that you wouldn't show the name somewhere. Obviously you say it, but the spelling isn't obvious.

[@randomdudejohn]

eeowna, are you aussie? just curious. subscribed

[@randomdudejohn]

nevermind, just saw the uk in the info

[@samanthabluford1115]

Have or could you review cuisineer!???

[@ferds1243]

i like your content but sometimes i don’t know if you really say that you love the game or you’re just trying to market it. You always say to most games that it is your favourite game of all time haha

[@Eeowna]

I have just said it about the same games in multiple videos this year haha Cozy games is a very young market- so as they get more mainstream and games get larger budgets it kinda makes sense for the games to get better and take over as some of my ultimate favs

[@youtubeuser8241]

Makeup tutorial please 😊 you look beautiful

[@SinglesAlliance]

Agnostiko ORIGINS and The Great Adventures of Nedmapagamahl for Nintendo Switch are now on Sale up to 80%

[@Lisa313shoe]

I want to play the card game but I don’t know how to play poker at all.

[@squinj7004]

You don’t really have to know poker. It is fun

[@Dreamerlighting]

Top 10 final count down for 2024 as we Almost in 2025 and 3 days to Xmas eve 😮

[@pink.pinstripe]

Hate to be pedantic but Stitch is not cross-stitch LOL. By the looks of it, it's tapestry and/or long stitch. Regardless, it's added to my wishlist now!! Haven't played any others yet, but several are on my wish list already. Do you have Dungeons and Dining Tables on your radar? I'm not sure when release is but it looks SUPER cute.

[@bethanyrose2259]

They’ve said it’s embroidery :)

[@stellamariss3335]

I was gonna say it looks like embroidery to me

[@theTadpolshrimpl3425]

A little off-topic but a cozy game i personally like is Birthdays the Beginning. It’s basically a sandbox god sim like game where you create a habitable area for creatures. I have play this game to death and still to this day I love it. It’s 4.99 on steam if I remember with there recent sale which is way worth it imo. There’s also a switch version which has some quality of life changes. But the performance can be messy at time & its $40.00. If you do have plans to get it I would personally recommend getting the demo first and then thinking if it’s worth it or not. Sorry was long lol :)

[@kimberlyjoysouza]

❤❤❤❤

[@Handnail]

My Top 3 of 2024: Fields of Mistria, Coral Island, Moonstone Island - not necessarily n this order.

[@silla42]

How much content has Fields of Mistria got so far? Does it feel finished? I really want to play it but the fact it’s early access has stopped me so far. When I played early access Coral Island the fact that different villagers had the exact same dialogue really bothered me, along with various bugs etc, so I decided no more early access games.

[@Handnail]

@@silla42 Enough for me to generate 100+ hours of playtime. relationships till 6hearts, mine till lv60 and 40 seasons & nice mine combat

[@Mordred478]

As a science junkie, I am impressed by your PhD in chemistry, Mind you, if I'm honest, I'd be more impressed by a PhD in Cheddar. Well, come to think of it, I suppose Cheddar is made out of chemicals...Did you ever consider doing a PhD in the Cheddar of chemistry?

[@ks.7856]

My top 1 was wylde flower 🙏🏻. At the most I was really disapointed or bored very fast sadly🫣😩
