Hi everyone, my name is Nora, also known as ‘Snorba,’ and I would say I’m a bit of an avid video game enjoyer. My favorite type would have to be the “Cozy” sub-genre.
Some of you may be wondering, what’s a cozy game? The cozy category stems from the casual game genre. There are numerous ways to describe these types of games, but my favorite definition is “any feel-good game that gives you the space to escape and unwind.”
The only problem with loving this genre is that most cozy games are created by independent developers and are often hard to find due to a lack of promotional resources.
With this blog, I want to create a space for people to discover, learn about, and discuss these types of video games. I find the cozy gaming community to be one that is very warm and welcoming and I would like to contribute, giving my opinions as well as new information about upcoming releases.
The main purpose of the blog is to share games that I feel fall under the cozy category and to give my opinion on them based on certain criteria. Such criteria include ease of learning, “replayability,” story-line, art style, soundtrack, and gameplay. Each category will be rated out of five stars.
The goal is to let you know if I believe that the experience the game provides is worth the price. I would love to hear your opinion of each game as well.
Another thing I would like to focus on is new and upcoming releases, and to help get games you may be interested in on your radar. There are a few that I’m already incredibly excited about, and I would love to share the hype with all of you.
Finally, I would like to shed a spotlight on some of my favorite cozy gaming content creators. Youtubers and streamers that cover these types of games don’t usually get the attention they deserve for creating great content for us to enjoy, so every week I would like to share some of my personal favorites.
I hope that this is something you’ll be interested in, and I look forward to getting to share all I have to offer with you. See you in the comments!
One response to “The Coziest Corner of the Internet”
Hi Nora, I enjoyed reading your first post! I had not heard about “cozy games” until you proposed your site idea but I feel like it would really be something I would be interested in! I am not much of a video game player and have never played any games. When I have tried to play video games I have been absolutely awful at them because they feel too fast and I have no idea what I’m doing. However, I used to play a lot of Minecraft on my iPod touch when I was younger and really enjoyed unwinding and just mindlessly playing something fairly calm and relaxing. I can’t wait to hear your game recommendations and maybe try some out for myself!
