Are games like Animal Crossing: New Horizons the key to successfully unwinding after stressful days?

Are there any cosy games (that are not stardew or animal crossing) with an actual good artstyle ?

Arguably Brighter Shores is a cozy game and it’s got an appealing art style to my eyes

I like Paleo Pines myself. It’s like Stardew and Animal Crossing had a baby about dinosaurs. It’s absolutely adorable.

Chao Resort Island. A fan game that’s basically a 2D/3D Chao Garden from SA2. It uses some sprites from the old Sonic Advance games, but it’s just a fun little virtual caregiver thing.

Sonic Adventure 2 Battle: Chao Garden. The “true” Chao Garden experience according to fans online. I have the steam version so I have the popular Extended Chao World mods to make it better/easier to raise Chao.

A lot of survival crafting games (base building and decorating and such) can be cozy too, if you want them to be.

G.R.I.S is short and not replayable but it’s beatiful and deep from start to end. Cried a few times during the playthrough and felt relieved afterwards :)

Like the wind...

Rune Factory 4 looked really good on 3DS. The port on pc and switch looks… pretty bad honestly but it’s still the same great game.

Obligatory mention of the fact this game inspired stardew and it’s better

Tchia has a tiny bit of fighting, but felt like a cozy game the whole time I played it. It was slower paced and easy to just explore.

Outer wilds has a lot of mystery to solve but is very relaxing and pleasant.

Both games I felt perfectly happy to just enjoy the sights occasionally.
