Do tell your favorite cozy or comfort game(s)? Mine personally is my childhood game Minecraft. It will always have a soft spot in my heart. I’m only able to really play on my Nintendo consoles, so limited at the moment system wise. My boyfriend has an Xbox and I’d like to get a PlayStation one day.
