My Picks
November cozy calendar

Lauren Morton

I've counted up 28 cozy game launches worth perusing on PC this month and it's a rather nice mix of options. Two cozy life sim MMOs are launching: Loftia and Spirit Crossing. Restoration and shop sim games are still going strong too. I even found a few promising desktop companions and tidying games despite the overwhelming glut of options both of those microgenres are facing right now. The real winners though? I think it's the horse girl gamers.

November cozy game forecast: 🐴Horse game surge

Wait, there's only one horse game on the list this month. How is that a surge? Real horse gamers know that the Barbie Rewind collection includes a couple classic personal computer games that are fondly remembered by horse enjoyers: Barbie: Race & Ride and Barbie Horse Adventures. Add in the very anticipated Horses of Hoofprint Bay and you've got triple the horse game launches of an average month.

My cozy game picks for November

Farm & Feast

I went back for more of this farming and restauranting sim after downloading its demo during Steam Next Fest. I really enjoy how the serving duties ramp up with custom orders and customer patience after the first few days and will definitely dip into the full version.

Horses of Hoofprint Bay

Look, I don't actually know anything about horses. But I have it on good authority from more knowledgeable friends that the care and realism in this management sim make it for horse lovers in the same way Dressmaker was for sewing hobbyists last month, so I need to see what the fuss is.
