I mean... if that's the definition of a cozy game then "Dark Souls" is cozy. You can't die there either; you just respawn back at the last firepit. ;-) But it got me to thinking... there really aren't MANY games left where death has any lasting consequences. Long gone are the days when your character would snuff it and you'd have to restart the level (or, if the game was particularly malicious, the game entire!). Even the meanest just let you reload a save-game (and most of those autosave for you). We gamers have gotten soft and lazy. ;-) (I'm not really complaining. Those old games sucked) >Its a LOT like the Subnautica games so if you liked those you will >probably like this. Yeah, it sounds like yet-another-survival/crafting-game to me.
