Hello again, Destructoid. As part of a new series, I’m here to talk about some of my favorite cozy games from the past few years while hearing about some of your favorites. Today, I’m highlighting an adorable feline adventure, Snacko.
I first started playing Snacko during its early access period last year. I’d just bought a few gifts for friends during the holidays and decided to treat myself to a couple of games. After a quick wishlist search, I remembered Snacko being on my list and quickly bought it during a sale. Over 20 hours later, I’ve just barely scratched the surface.
Snacko is a cozy adventure game where you, a talking cat, have one objective: rebuild an island’s settlement into a bustling town full of villagers. You have many ways to do this, from farming crops to earn money to exploring mineshafts and mining for building materials. You’ll even progress your playthrough through various puzzles in different dimensions. It’s a lot, but that’s what makes it fun. Plus, well, you’re a cat, so you’ll find more than a couple of feline puns that’ll make you crack a smile.
This was my go-to relaxation game during last year’s holiday season. If life got stressful or I found some free time during the weekend, I hopped on Snacko for a couple of hours and worked through some quests. I didn’t quite complete its story, but I knew I had to one day.
And then, its 1.0 version came out. I had Snacko on my mind occasionally, but once I heard about its full release this past May, I was suddenly more excited than ever to play. I already enjoyed the game, but with a revamped mine system, magic, and a bunch of quality-of-life changes available, it was about to become even more fun. Right away, I celebrated by starting up a new save.
Although I haven’t quite caught up to where I was before, I’m enjoying it all the same and am reminded all over again of why I enjoy these casual games so much. Since then, I’ve gotten a little distracted by other games, but this is definitely one I’ll be returning to soon.
What relaxing games have you been playing recently during your spare time? Are you more of a farming sim person, or do you like to test your knowledge with complex yet satisfying puzzle games? Let us know in the comments below!
