A wonderfully calming game about organizing a home. "A Little to the Left" provides a beautiful gaming experience that encourages players to slow down and enjoy the space they're in, working through simple puzzles while enjoying the beautifully simple artwork. If you rush through it, this game can be finished in a few hours, or you can take your time and stretch out the gameplay. Daily tidies and small secrets throughout encourage the player to continue to return to the game in order to discover every solution.

This is such a cute little cozy game. Ideal for any player who would like to take it slow, help some bears, and tend to your island. The characters are fun, and getting to know them has been a treat. Seeing how everyone is connected together has been a big reward after working so hard on the island, if you could consider it work.

Cozy Grove has Animal Crossing vibes with Spirit Farer themes, which is ideal for the player who wants to take their time and cultivate something special in their gameplay experience.

This game feels unfinished.

Let me just say, I enjoy playing this game. The graphics are done incredibly well and it is a visually pleasing game. The concept is a unique spin on the traditional famring/lifestyle sim game. As a fan of Stardew Valley, I was very intrigued to give this game a try.

That being said, I definitely do not believe this game is worth the purchase right now. The gameplay feels pretty shallow with a lot of grinding required to gain any significant amount of materials. This grinding feels like a waste of time and takes away from how enjoyable the game could be. I think the concepts for the NPCs is adorable, but there is no satisfaction for the player to befriend them. Relationships between players and NPCs does no impact your gameplay or add any flavor or interesting dialogue. There is no desire for the player to pursue the romance candidates, of which there are only 3 girls and 2 guys to choose from for this reason. The storyline is also lacking due to the general lack of business you get as the chemist even with the upgrades to the buildings. The storyline is there, but barely and definitely needs more hashing out.

The framework for this game is there, and there is definitely potential for it to be good, but it requires many more content updates before it is worth the purchase. It is way too "grindy" and flat for me to be able to justify the purchase.

Beautiful game, amazing story, immersive atmosphere! I couldn't ask for anything more. As a lover of Egyptian history, I was not disappointed.
