If a particular bird likes Rustic decor, put that near it and it produces more resources. There are various animals you can raise, trees and flowers you can plant and they all have different likes and dislikes. Fishing, gathering and crafting take time and resources, and you can create a living space around your campfire. Ultimately, there is a lot more to do on the island. Each day needs only about 30 to 45 minutes to play through, and then it’s up to you what to do. And there are a new set of tasks to complete. The landmarks have moved around though each spirit is in the same place, so the searching is different each day but still not taxing. The game starts another day at 5am according to your console each day, and when you come back, things have changed a little. Talk to Flamey after doing a few quests and tells you that there is no one else to help today, you should come back tomorrow, and that means tomorrow in the real world. Then about 40 minutes into playing for the first time, the game reveals it’s trump card. Once you complete the task, the grey area around the spirit is flooded with colour and you can harvest fruit and flowers in the area. Very simple stuff, and you usually get a clue as to where an item is, such as near a horned skull, next to a pond or close to a folding chair. They want you to catch x amount of fish for them. They have lost something they want you to find. The tasks they set you are pretty simple. Some of them think they are a different species completely, one is convinced he is a seagull, another believes she is a tree. One is a crafter, another a baker, another a postman, you get the idea. The bear spirits are all friendly types who have a role on the island. If it all sounds a bit spooky, it really isn’t.
To do this, Flamey sends you off to meet the first spirit, who sets you a quick task and rewards you with a Spirit Log, which you feed to your new pal and he reveals more spirits for you to talk to. Here you meet Flamey, a sentient campfire (stick with me) who explains that the island is haunted by the spirit of the bears who used to live here, and if you work together, you can restore the place to it’s former glory and bring some resolution to the spirits who dwell there. As it transpires, you were meant to be sent to Cosy Cove, but you end up on Cosy Grove, an island that seems at first glance to be pretty small, and uninhabited. You start the game as a Spirit Scout who is out on their first solo expedition. I played on the Switch, but the game is available on PlayStation, Xbox, Steam and Apple Arcade as well. If you want a charming, relaxing chilled out game that respects your time and effort, allows for creativity while gently pushing you in the right direction and is gorgeous and fun, keep reading. I need goals and directions in a game, and having tried many many times to get to grips with these kind of games, I ultimately give up.Ĭozy Grove is the perfect alternative to this. I’m the same with most open world games, and I think it must be how my brain is wired. I really love the idea of them, but struggle with the lack of direction and the time I need to put in to make something worthwhile.
I have a big issue with open ended, creative type games like Animal Crossing.
