Comment on [Opinion] Why do so many cozy games suck?

They’re not really for me, as I find it difficult to relax while playing them, but I’m glad they exist.

Gaming had a real identity crisis around the 2000s, when every other game was a brown military shooter.
Now we’ve got cute games and cozy games and artsy games, and I feel like that opens up the genre to more people and enriches the whole medium.

Cozy games are more difficult to make, though, because the gameplay is not anymore just “point cursor at screen and click in the right moment”. So, yeah, you will get some worse example, especially as the genre is still figuring itself out.
