i heard fantasy life was suspended indefinitely again.. so sad i was looking forward to it
I am so stoked for bloomtown!!!!
Thank you for introducing us to all the new cozy releases for next month. I'm most excited about Chef RPG. I hope you'll do a LP series of that game, Josh!
With all of these games releasing back to back it's gonna be hard to keep up with all of them
Anyways, time to expand my Steam Wishlist even further
I fully understand why Early Access is such a good concept for Indie developers to finance their game. But I have to say I'm getting a little burnt out with all the cozy Early Access games who stop in the middle of the game. Have been playing Travellers Rest, Echoes of the Plum Grove, Fields of Mistria, and I always get so excited about them but have to stop in the middle of my obsession because it is just not finished.
One big offender has to be Coral Island though. I couldn't believe the audacity of them releasing an unfinished game with so many missing crucial features as "full release". I was so invested in my playthrough and was abruptly put off when coming across weird bugs and just flat out missing animations and features and then seeing that this game was supposed to be "full release".
Those NPCs glitching into shadowy voids is so creepy in Bloomtown
Yeah, if I were to pick a month that tends to be super busy for Cozy games (especially farm sims), it would be this month since Fall is right around the corner lol.
Hey Josh, quick question do you know if your Farmer is customizable in Shinehill?
Chef RPG is on my radar, but that whole Restaurant management part is the only thing I am concerned about. I am horrible at multitasking (it's why I don't like management games), but if the gameplay is easy to learn, I can manage because there have been exceptions in the past (but it's rare).
That Caravan game is the only other one I am interested in, but other games take priority so it'll most likely get put on my already long list of backlogs lol.
I'm pretty sure the Cozy Keep devs are using Synty assests and even though the Synty assests are absolutely beautiful and well made, I wish we would see more games with their own unique style or I wish they would at least change up the colors of the assets at least, most of the time they just take the assets and throw them into the game without any creative differences.
I cant wait for Mirthwood and Chef RPG :3
I'm most excited for Mirthwood and Chef Rpg, I've been following these for a while and the ones I'm confident will be worth the money in early access so I'm only getting those so far, I'll try out the other games when they're fully released.
Edit: I'll also be getting BloomTown, I absolutely adore the story that's happening in the game, so creepy but I love it nonetheless.
Looking forward to ChefRPG and Bloomtown (which I had not heard of until I saw this video). Thanks for sharing Josh!
Hands down, Mirthwood is my top pick! I can't compare it with any other game! It's the only game I'm thinking of getting asap
Chef RPG and Mirthwood are sure things for me. I like the idea of Shinehill and I'll consider it for sure.
I've already got too much of a backlog, cause all these Early Access games are things I won't play until they are finished. 😅 My pocketbook is gonna cry. I think cozy games tend to drop in cozy months like the fall and holiday alot.
But, I'm kinda hyped to see what happens.
Caravan SandWitch and Bloomtown: A Different Story are getting marked on my Wishlist.
A bunch of these I look forward to seeing, though I know there's a game that I thought should be coming out soon: Sugardew Island.. kinda wondering what happened with it
There is this game I found on social media that is a farming horror game called Grave Seasons, not much well known about release but it looks perfect for spooky vibes in the fall.
I’ll get Chef Rpg, Ninano, Planet IX, and Bloomtown! I hope you’ll cover more of Shine Hill since I’m on the fence about it. Thank you for your videos, I keep discovering new games to put on my wishlist!
Mirthwood looks really interesting! If you decide to stream it, I'll make sure to be there!! Great video <3
I have about half of these on my wish list. The three I'm most looking forward to are Critter Cove, Caravan Sandwitch, and Mirthwood – in that order. I didn't realize Sept had so many titles releasing.
Im excited for chef rpg and will just wait for full release before playing
I was excited by mirthwood but then in the demo wasnt happy with it
Critter cove interesting
Seeing Chef RPG made me reinstall Epic Chef again as I reminded me about that game and didn't finish as I didn't reinstall it after switching machines.
As for the games I look forward playing from this list it is so far Critter Cove, Cozy Keep and Garden Witch Life.
I agree with your top 3. I'm finally getting into roots of pacha so may wait for a sale since my backlog is ridiculous on switch and xbox one/gamepass.
I'm considering orange season too but I think that's already out on switch.
i’m so excited for chef rpg and bloomtownðŸ˜ðŸ˜
thank you as always, josh! i had a few of these on my wishlist already, but this was my first time hearing about a lot of these games. september is gonna be incredible 🙂
I think I'm looking forward to Mirthwood the most but I'm going to wait for reviews.
i'm so hyped for mirthwood, i loved the vibe from playing the demo
Mirthwood!!!!!!!!
I hardly ever support game in early access unless I’m very interested in the game. I feel like yeah it’s cheaper and the developers probably need the money to finish it but it’s just happening too often. I got 2 recently, one sucked and the game felt rushed and poorly done. and the second, fields of mistria, was amazing.
Planet Nine is a different game than Planet IX. Could you please make a small banner with game title, release date and platforms when you start talking about a game? That would make following/wishlisting games easier
Thanks for the video, Josh. There are lots of new games to check out.
The story for Shinehill sounds like a really interesting twist on the genre. Since I only play Nintendo consoles, Caravan SandWitch and Bloomtown both look the most appealing to me. Hope we can get your thoughts on those!
I really hope garden witch life plays well 🤞
