Dave writes: "Cozy Grove on the Xbox lies in the shadow of Animal Crossing, and the moments where it steps out of that shadow are its weakest. While Animal Crossing never stops feeling welcoming, Cozy Grove keeps pushing you towards the door, and a lot of the charm goes with it. Regardless, there’s plenty of room on the Xbox for an experience as undemanding and beautiful as this one, and you’ll find yourself rummaging for walnuts in a spare thirty minutes. You certainly can’t live in Cozy Grove, but it’s great to visit."
Remembering the games that may have flown under the radar this year.
From GameWatcher: "Cozy Grove's Winter Festival 2021 is right around the corner, bringing with it quite a bit of holiday cheer alongside a number of new activities that will only stick around for a limited time, between its start and end dates.
The third limited-time event to kick off since the title launched earlier this year, Cozy Grove's Winter Festival 2021 introduces new snowfolk characters that players can craft and interact with, hearing some of their heartfelt stories. Snow will also arrive on the island, as will a number of special craftable gifts that you can offer to some of the other inhabitants."
Twinfinite: "A brand new update has been deployed for Cozy Grove. Check out what's included, as well as a new trailer showcasing the new additions."
