Cozy Caravan

This game got me through a depressive spiral so it will always hold a special place in my heart. I heard mixed reactions online when I was first deciding to get it but decided to give it a shot anyways and I'm glad I did. It's a super fun, cozy experience, complete with fun writing and lots of places to explore. I'm just going to put some of my thoughts here in a bullet list: - For people who play on Steam Deck, it works amazing. 10/10 experience on my end. - This game is, in my opinion, a collectathon. So if you don't like running around constantly collecting material, you probably won't like this game. - You might be disappointed by the customization options when you start the game. Don't worry. As you progress, more and more decorations and clothes unlock. You can also find a way to change your character's animal too.

It's a fun game with a good pace. You constantly discover new things and it never felt boring. At the end of the story there is a lot of driving between locations, but you always can rely on Bubba or some passengers to entertain you. It's definitely worth the money.

I genuinely don't remember when the last time was that I played a game I had 0 issues with, but this is definitely the most recent. I truly have zero qualms with the game or it's development. I've been playing Cozy Caravan since early access and if there's one thing these developers have been, it's attentive and active! So many games on steam early access end up in a sort of limbo, or if they do get regular updates, it's not what people are actually asking for, but 5 Lives not only continue to add new playable animals and cute cosmetics after the full release, but they've been doing so steadily, at least since I started playing in ea. The music is so relaxing, the voice acting is precious, the gameplay is fun, if a bit tedious at times, but even then it's not constant enough to be problematic. I have very few games in my library that I actually replay once I finish them, and I've replayed this one more than any of those (including baldur's gate). It's not that I feel like I'm missing story, it's just genuinely that fun and relaxing. I will say, this is not a game where the finish line is a quick goal. It's slow on purpose. It is, quite literally, about the friends you make along the way. I don't think I've ever said this about a game before, but if it's on sale, wait for it to go back to retail price. These developers deserve it. They've put out such a good game, and I can't wait to see what they do next.
