"Cozy" games - generally defined as games that have a slower, more story-focused pace and are intended to be played for relaxation rather than for a challenge - are incredibly popular right now. A lot of people who might not have otherwise been into video games have found themselves attracted to these games because of the fact that the game mechanics are often gentler, and the games are more about having fun than proving a skill level. One of the prominent ones at the moment is Spiritfarer, which is a game that was released in 2020 by Canadian indie studio Thunder Lotus Games to both popular and critical acclaim.
