17 may seem like a lot of cozy games to get released in one week, but as someone who puts these out every week, I can tell you that this feels a bit light. Thankfully, quantity doesn’t suggest quality and I’ve still got a lot of great cozy games to tell you about, including one that is free to play!
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.
