Completing the first scene hinted via a cutscene at the start, the true image of the game starts to appear which is a masterpiece. The journey might appear to be confusing at first since there’s no guidance, no objectives, and no clear story. However, Journey’s smoothness and the character details are still better and even the burning optical illusion of the desert is what seems to be missing in Sky. Comparing both of them, I think Sky has more environmental variety and details than Journey because the former was released almost 7 years after Journey. If you loved playing Sky: The Children of Light, Journey is another of those indies, adventure, open world, and multiplayer games with breathtaking artstyle from the same developer. Game Type: Adventure, Open World, Indie, Multiplayer Most relaxing thing: The artstyle, character, and environment blend, and the ever-changing island.


The slow and soft piano music also adds to the calmness. I love how the background around the main character is dark and mysterious but the main character is surrounded by a bright light illustrating hope. The characters are blended into the environment and make you wonder if I’m really stuck on a spooky island. The artstyle is what makes the game stand out in this genre. You have to wander on that island and help the local spirits/ghosts along the way and reveal the secrets of the mysterious island. The game is almost similar to ‘Don’t Starve’ but instead of the dark and lonely vibe that the game has, Cozy Grove provides a much bright and relaxing vibe.Ĭozy Grove is a life-sim game based on a spooky ever-changing island. Honestly, if I were to list these relaxing games based on the most unique artstyle, Cozy Grove would hit the no.1 spot. Price: Available on only Apple Arcade ($4.99/m subscription, 1-month free trial, 3 months free on newly purchased Apple device)
