Cozy grove review4/12/2023 ![]() The fire also acts like a way to keep you focused on the task at hand, often offering suggestions about where to go and who to see.Ĭompleting a day’s worth of chores can take anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes, which is a great design choice. Once you complete a task you are often rewarded with a spirit log that you feed the fire next to your campsite, he’ll grow and let you know if there are any more tasks for you that day, or if it’s just safe to leave for the day and come back fresh tomorrow. More characters get added as you go through the game. Any time a new Character was introduced I found myself spending more time with them in the beginning, and less as I progressed. I do not blame Cozy Grove they kept me invested in the characters for almost two weeks before I rushed through the dialogue. That’s just me, it is the one struggle I have with life sim style games. Over time I understood each character's backstory and more or less moved past being too interested or invested. In the beginning I read everything as it came up. Story is told in little chunks here and there. This game is not about you and your character, but about the residents. This is where the story part of Cozy Grove comes into play. You can spend some currency to find it’s direct location, but that feels like cheating and takes away any purpose of playing at all.īy doing “fetch” quests with each islander you slowly level up your friendship, which helps you to learn more about their past life before becoming a ghost. You will be given clues to the nearby location of items, but at times the focal object is nowhere close to the actual item. ![]() The structure is solid, but can feel a little frustrating. My personal least favorite was trying to find a moving tree, it just didn’t stick out well enough. Find my lost glasses, or locate several pages from my missing book. Often you have a fetch quest of one sort or another. Some will need you to catch some fish for dinner, or collect fresh fruit from the trees on the island. You can do that in a number of ways, depending on the current needs of the ghosts. You’re a Spirit Scout, your job is to help these spirits on the island find solace in the afterlife. However, the grove part is a little misleading, the game actually has more of a cozy island vibe. I decided early on while playing to come and take the ride, this is about the journey and not about the destination.Ĭozy Grove is both cozy and a grove. Instead Cozy Grove attempts to sell you on an experience, one that I have bought into. Gameplay isn’t challenging, in a good way. The island grove is just teeming with spirits that need help only you can provide, and it may be that the dead residents of the island still have a lot of demands that only you can meet.Ĭozy Grove is a soothing experience. There might not be any “life” on the island, but it is far from abandoned. You land on what seems like an abandoned island, but you know better, you’re a Spirit Scout after all.
