It’s that time of year where the weather gets a little frightful, and while many people are cozying up with comfy pajamas, and hiding from the weather under warm blankets, it’s the perfect time to play some fun games. Some of you may even be looking for some games to celebrate the winter festivities with. Luckily, there are a few that feed that cozy holiday need. Cozy Grove, Hokko Life, Ooblets, and Disney Dreamlight Valley are all perfect to get into that holiday spirit with.
Cozy Grove
In Cozy Grove, you play as a Spirit Scout, and are camping on an ever-changing haunted island. Wander around the forest, discover secrets, and help the local ghosts. Meet and befriend dozens of characters and ghosts. Explore each character’s story. Collect spirit animals, craft decor, go fishing, and so much more.

Hokko Life
Hokko Life is an Animal Crossing-inspired life-sim. Spend time building the town and filling it with your favorite villagers, catch bugs, go fishing, and befriend the villagers.

You can also customize the interiors and exteriors of each home by placing furniture you’ve crafted and painted. Use the design table to change the shape and materials of your crafts, and paint them to suit your tastes and vision. Even the clothes can be painted

The adorable and kooky survival game The Survivalists just got a new huge content update.
From the first moment I booted it up, I knew I was in for a treat. The Survivalists is the perfect survival game for anyone who is into the whole laid back genre.
The flow of the game is actually kinda relaxing, and the survival aspects aren’t too taxing. Not to mention that your primary assistant in the game can be a real life friend of yours, or a slew of monkeys that you have trained to do your bidding.
The Survivalists is the perfect survival game for everyone. My only gripe at launch was that the game seemed to be a bit lacking in content. Aside from focusing on endgame and hanging out with monkeys, there wasn’t much to do.
Since then, the developers have been working very hard to add more and more all the time. From farming to a difficulty increase on monkey catching (it was super simple), the developers have added much by way of content.
In the latest update, the developers are bringing a whole ton of new features and content, including new trinkets with the ability to equip up to four now. Not only that, there are four new NPC’s spread throughout the open world to offer quests for great loot. This is just a bit of what is in the update, so if you haven’t tried it yet, now is the perfect time. Check out the trailer below for more details.
