A study conducted by The Northerner compiled a list of the 20 games that help you relax the most. A group of experts reviewed articles and reviews to determine which games should make the list and then ranked them based on “cosiness points.” While it may not sound like the most scientific study in the world, it still resulted in a list worth checking out if you’re in the mood for some calmer gaming experiences:
- Stardew Valley
- Animal Crossing: New Horizons
- A Short Hike
- Lil Gator Game
- Strange Horticulture
- Night In The Woods
- Dorfromantik
