Best Cozy Games To Play On Nintendo Switch

Sometimes, you just need to sit down and enjoy some cozy games to unwind. Whether it’s taking a few moments to yourself after a hard day, or bundling up in a blanket burrito with a hot beverage and your Nintendo Switch – self-care is self-love. For those looking for a cozy game to play on their Nintendo Switch, we’ve got a few picks for you to consider.

Best cozy games to play on Nintendo Switch 

The obvious addition to this list is Animal Crossing: New Horizons, so I’m going to leave that as an honorable mention to make room for other titles so that they can get some spotlight. So, without further ado, here are some cozy games to get on your Switch to get crackin’ on some relaxation. 

Coffee Talk

Have coffee, will travel – or at least talk to some really cool people

Coffee Talk doesn’t try to be anything it’s not, and that’s what makes it perfect. This coffee-brewing adventure is a heart-to-heart experience that became a therapeutic safe haven for me during a massive period of change amidst a global pandemic. A barista journey with a fantasy twist, I found meaningful conversation, interactions, and an avenue of “letting it all out and letting it all go,” just with Coffee Talk I got to do this in a pixelated fashion with vampires, orcs, and everything else you can think of. It’s a game about solving peoples’ problems, no matter how big or small, and it inspired empathy during a time where many of us felt alone

Plus, you can flirt with a giant orc lady football player, enough said.

It's a real-life simulator that takes place on an evolving, haunted island. But haunted isn't a bad thing, not here. You'll play as a Spirit Scout that will need to complete daily tasks and help learn about (become friends with) and help those that have passed on find peace before the ultimate goodbye. With a little love and care, you can bring color back to the world of Cozy Grove, which makes it a rewarding experience that you can pick up and put down whenever you choose. 

I also recommend this game if you suffer from anxiety, the daily tasks that are capped are a fine way to pass the time and provide some order when needed.
