I’m not a farmer but I play one in video games. A list of my favorite Steam cozy games.
A cozy MMO where you can fish, farm, and befriend everyone like you’re the town’s designated emotional support human. Perfect for when you want zero danger and maximum vibes.
Palia
A witchy life-sim where you alternate between farming and casual spellcasting like it’s totally normal. One of my favorite cozy games.
Wylde Flowers
The ultimate farming sim. If you love (or want to love) cozy games you have to give Stardew Valley a chance.
Stardew Valley
Have you ever wanted to own your own small town grocery store? No? Well, this game is still fun.
Discounty
A classic farming sim with all the nostalgia of the old days, plus magic.
Fields of Mistria
A little dark but still cozy. A puzzle game that really made me have to use the ol’ think jelly.
Strange Horticulture
A farming sim with a twist. The twist? Pestilence and death.
Echoes of the Plum Grove
A post-apocalyptic desert town where everyone is weirdly cheerful about the lack of water. Building machines out of literal junk has never felt so cozy.
My Time at Sandrock
A coming-of-age story… in space… with time loops. A deck builder life-sim with multiple endings. All of your choices affect the story and what happens to the main character. Very replayable.
I Was a Teenage Exocolonist
Town management via matchmaking. Grow your kingdom by marrying off your townspeople - whether they like it or not.
Lakeburg Legacies
Making junk houses beautiful virtually while my real house falls into disrepair around me.
House Flipper
It’s the 1930s and you have to grow your newspaper while trying to appease the government and the mob.
News Tower
A short game where you play as the grim reaper and get to decide who lives and dies.
Death and Taxes
If you like fetch quests this is the game for you! The storyline will hook you and the weird characters will draw you in.
Wytchwood
Befriend Disney characters and decorate your own magical world.
Disney Dreamlight Valley Cozy Edition - Nintendo Switch
Somehow this game makes sweeping grime and smashing walls feel like fun instead of virtual chores and hard labor.
