Why 'cosy games' are so popular
Opposite hectic shooters stands a growing genre of calm, building games. Story of Seasons lets you breathe new life into a neglected farm: sowing, harvesting, keeping animals, exploring the town and building relationships. There's no ticking clock or hunting enemy - you play at your own pace, which makes it wonderfully relaxing.
Ideal on the Switch
This type of game fits the Nintendo Switch perfectly: home on the big TV, or farming for half an hour in handheld mode on the go. That makes it accessible for those who play in between rather than sitting at a console for hours.
Who is it a good gift for?
Perfect for a Switch owner who loves calm, building games, or for a casual gamer who doesn't play action/shooters. A lovely gift for young and old. Check the recipient has a Switch.
