It’s that time of the week when I talk about me and my own biased opinions. I like to end every week with a recap of the games that I would personally play. Like always, I try to keep the Cozy Games Today articles a bit more loosey-goosey so that there’s at least one thing for everyone. But, if you’re looking for the more stereotypical idea of cozy, then this list will be more in line with your needs.

We do our best not to highlight games that use Generative AI at any level of development or marketing. At the time of posting, these games have not reported or disclosed using Gen AI. Likewise, all articles are written and edited by humans… as evidenced by our occasional errors.

Faves from the Week: December 8th-12th

PancitoMerge

PancitoMerge

PancitoMerge is a delicious suika-style puzzle game. You’ll drop various pastries into a paper bag for your customers and like-items will merge together into better desserts! Some strategy is involved because if the treats tower up too high, you’ll have to start over. Modeled after genuine pan dulce, it’s clear the game was baked with love for Mexican culture and tradition.

Steam

Outer Space Piñata

Outer Space Piñata is a silly physics-based arcade-style game. Your entire goal is to explode hazardous piñatas that are clogging the way for passing vehicles. Use rockets to burst them open and then scoop up all the various types of candy for yourself! With six holiday party modes, you can capture different candies from multiple holidays!

P.A.C.K. :: Post Apocalyptic Cleaning Kit is a chill cleaning sim where you take on the role of a robot with the entire focus of cleaning up after an apocalypse.

Steam

Whelm

Whelm is a physics playground with no challenges, quests, or missions. You run around as a young penguin exploring the lands and deciding what you want to help with, whether that’s cleaning up beaches, rescuing fish, or simply vibing. (Note: Save files won’t work in December, but a fix is coming that is slated for January.)

This Ain’t Even Poker, Ya Joker

This Ain’t Even Poker, Ya Joker is a Balatro-like incremental clicker that looks like Poker, but requires no prior knowledge of how Poker works.
