10 Lego Fortnite

Adventure, Base Builder, Multiplayer

When you think of Epic Games, you think of Fortnite. Plus, one of the best things about cozy games is being able to play with your friends. This is why Lego Fortnite is one of the best cozy games on the platform. Not only does it check all the boxes; farming, crafting, mining, villagers, and building. But it opens the door to a mass variety of customization.

Fortnite became popular because of the skins, emotes, and other items you can collect, many of which have been added to fit LEGO Fortnite. While the gameplay is rather simplistic compared to other cozy games, the fact that Lego Fortnite is free and multiplayer makes the game a must-try.

Become a Spirit Scout as you try to explore the ever-changing island. Cozy Grove is one of those games that will leave you in awe, especially regarding the beautiful, detailed hand-drawn landscapes. It almost makes you forget that the land you are on is haunted. However, those bear ghosts are on the adorable side.

That is one of the things that makes Cozy Grove so fun. There is a nice balance between the sweet, cute things and a darkness that looms over. Now, while this game for the most part follows the usual format for cozy games, one way it’s different is by adding timed quests. So if you are a gamer that likes a little more strategy and planning to your cozy style, this one is a must-have.

7 Sword And Fairy Inn 2

Adventure, Restaurant Management, RPG

This might be blasphemy to say, but there could be cozy games that are a little too cozy. However, Sword and Fairy Inn 2 does not have that issue, by adding management-style gameplay. Work together with other characters from the Sword and Fairy series to run a profitable Inn. It is up to you to research dishes, farm, set the menu, cook the food, explore, and grow the Inn's reputation.

With so much to do, this game can be a little bit of a slow burner with a lot of items to unlock. However, if you are someone who likes to have a little pressure to your cozy game that provides some structure, Sword and Fairy Inn 2 is perfect.

6 Song Of The Prairie

Farming, Casual, Life Simulation

There is something about crops being bigger than your character that puts a smile on your face. Song of the Prairie is a fun and charming 3D farm game with more of a story element. Here you play a hero, who, after defeating a demon, heads off to live a rural life.

5 Travellers Rest

Restaurant Management, Adventure, Crafting

Pixel graphics are like the cherry on top of a cozy sundae. That’s why Travellers Rest is one of the best cozy games on the Epic Store, as well as should be added to the list of adorably cute restaurant games. Similar to a few others on the list, your job is to help transform a run-down inn. This will have you mostly focused on creating special food and drinks, while building up the inn's reputation. However, Travellers Rest also provides a skill tree, fully customizable inn, farming, and crafting.

Slightly more laid back, Travellers Rest does provide some guidance as you progress. For example, certain things won’t be unlocked until certain milestones. However, due to the open customization of the game, there is a strong sandbox element to your inn.

4 Everdream Valley

Farming, Life Simulation, Casual

Want to add a little magic to your life? Everdream Valley is another 3D farming cozy game, but here you play a kid who is out for the summer and visiting their grandparents' farm. While your day to day might look similar to other farming games, including gardening, taking care of animals, and gathering, your nights are a whole new adventure.

Depending on how well you do during the night, it will impact how your farm does the following day. So, if you are someone who plays cozy games purely for cute animals, you must check out Everdream Valley. Especially because you get not one, but two furry sidekicks.

3 Bear And Breakfast

Life Sim, Management, Causal

It is a known fact that half of what makes up a cozy game is the cuteness factor, and what’s cuter than a bear who is running a bed and breakfast? Bear and Breakfast is a laid-back management-style game with adorable graphics. There's a variety of other animals, story lines, and a massive collection of items to decorate with.

The building aspect and ability to customize is probably one of the best things about Bear and Breakfast. Another great aspect is just the beautiful forest, which you will also be able to explore as you try to unravel mysteries and meet new characters. Overall, Bear and Breakfast provides a nice calm middle ground between cozy and management games.

As well as adding elements that make it a little challenge, like fighting monsters.

Plus, you can never go wrong with a cozy game that develops their villagers. This means making them dateable, adding personal details and stories, creating ways to interact with them other than just handing over items. Potion Permit delivers on all of that, including some amazingly fun minigames.

1 Palia

Life Simulation, Exploration, Multiplayer

You can never go wrong with free. Especially when it has everything you could ask for, including dateable characters. Similar to Lego Fortnite, Palia is also multiplayer; however, the two are different because there is not one major base you are building. Instead, each player has their own home they can decorate in a variety of ways, such as purchasing store items or crafting.

One of the things that is makes Palia one of the best cozy games around is the constant updates. We have seen new characters, new quests, new dungeon-style puzzles, new items, and holiday-themed events.
