Honestly when I stop playing a game, I never find the will to go back to it. There are so many interesting games out there...

I’ve started waiting until full release. I work full time and have limited gaming time. The chance of revisiting a game, especially longer games, is pretty low. So, I wait now.

I got Coral Island recenty and i was LOVING it, but stopped playing before the first fall ended cause the spanish translation is SO bad it made me feel all the time as if the game was unfinished... in the 1.1

I Stopped playing Everafter falls after a while. I came to that point... doing the same stuff every day. And Cozy caravan. That one really disappointed me.

Yeah, Sun Haven is... a lot. xD I eventually got back into it by cranking up the day length and only focusing on one thing per day (also not trying to raise everyone's friendship at once since I was asked on dates constantly. xD) I also got a scarecrow from each of the other farm areas so I would just have one farm, the Sunhaven farm, with a scarecrow for crops from the other two areas. That helped a lot! I actually do like Immortal Life a fair bit as well. I don't replay things- I tend to just allow myself a day or two to reacquaint myself with what I'm doing, maybe just focus on one thing, and it all comes back to me.~ Oh! And I do play Sunny Side. The bugs are a lot better now, but it's still a little bit more of a project than more polished titles. I really like the vibes, though. I actually found Coral Island a bit... grindy, honestly. I was super excited about it, but it and Fae Farm just felt like I had to do boring mining stuff constantly? I think my favorite farming games are Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns and Garden Paws. Happy farming!

for a sec I thought you're gonna play a different cozy game every hour but that's probably gonna make the challenge more stressful (and contradictory) than it should be lol

I’m just getting starting to play Coral Island. I love Harvest Moon but I think I enjoy most playing Coral Island

Have you played Fae Farm yet? I’ve only recently picked up (only an hour of playtime) but I’ve found it quite fun! :]

Game are meant to be fun. Never be upset about something not bringing you fun anymore and moving on. Some games you need to be in the right headspace to enjoy.

I understand the coral island part. I was not updated for a while about coral island so when i got back to it recently and opened my world, the shock that i had when i had to restart fr got me panicked so then i googled what the heck happened lol pero its okay... maybe i'll just go back to playing it later on once i have accepted the fact that everything has to be re-done lol

I stopped playing Dreamlight Valley for the shady sh*t they kept pulling,and the microtransactions is unforgivable

Looks like another "lets get on the cozy hype train for the money" kind of game. Looks half baked with no soul. Appreciate the honest review. As a cozy game lover, youve helped me save some money. ❤❤

I’ve recently just come back to this game after a long time to 100% it, it’s cool to see someone getting to experience it for the first time ☺️

I don't think I could enjoy Sun Haven without QoL mods. With mods, the game is a lot more relaxing and fun, personally. Things like increased walk speed/instant travel/sprinklers/etc. make the pacing a lot more quicker, and its easier to get things done in a timely manner. So I'd recommend them if you get back into it!

Sun Haven is fantastic ❤ it's a shame people just need quick stories or they quit. I see this very often lately, is either quick or be gone.

I've been on a bit of a Chinese cultivation genre kick lately so I might check out Immortal Life.

What I do is when I'm starting to feel burnt out by a game, I just switch to another genre and play that for a while and then get back to the previous games.

I love Immortal life, I have like 40hrs in it. I totally get what you mean though. There were certain quests I had to look up on the wiki because I was lost and the game doesn't tell you. But once I got past those it really started unfolding and I fell in love with it.

I get what you mean with Sun Haven! I love this game because it's the first farming game that I actually ever played, and it feels like there was A LOT to do! Especially for a first timer in the genre 😂 but when I feel overwhelmed I just take a step back and return to it another day, or just simply wander around and concentrate on other stuff in the game (like one day I only farm or mine or talk to people, or explore just one place and stuff like that)... I really love the fact that there are a lot of stuff to do and places to be, but it can be really overwhelming if you try to do it all right away... I always reminder myself to simply slow down and enjoy the game without being stressed 😊 because I still have A LOT to do as I haven't finished it yet ahaha and they also added a new town and storyline, so yeah there are pros and cons about it, but maybe give it a try again! There are lots of guides and videos to help you out, but also take your time because a lot of the quest there don't require you to do them in a certain amount of time, and also some farms don't require you to be there every day! 😁 Ps. Thank you for talking about instant gaming!! This is my first time hearing about it, but I will definitely check it out 😍

Weirdly, I didn’t like Sun Haven and I spent the refund on Roots of Pacha - which I love!

SUPER COZY!

I got this game gifted to my by a friend but I haven't played it yet!!!

Thank you for being really honest about the game. I was so excited for this one but I will definitely save my money. Hopefully after some updates it will be more fun but it looks a bit complicated and difficult to me. It is great that the devs did respond to the criticisms but I feel parts of their response were just lazy/dismissive and copy and paste. I will give it some time to see if it gets better. I am hoping that maybe it will get better over time.

While the iron is hot is short enough that it's a good one to finish and tie a bow on. It drags near the end but you can power through.

One that I stopped playing is My Time at Sandrock. I love it - but I put it down when another game I was looking forward to came out and then I find it really hard and overwhelming to pick it up again. And now I don’t think I’ll go back to it. I do think you should give While the Irons Hot another go - because it’s one of my favourite games 😊

I can't imagine there are many achievement hunters in the cozy game community, but that's why i stopped playing coral island.. this one specific achievement requires you to sell at least 1 of each fish/insect/fossil.. but there is no easy way to check what you have or haven't shipped.. 😭

There is a Coffee Talk 2 out now I think or else it is in the process of being released.

I dropped Bandle Tale because I couldnt stand the grind after a few hours in. I had loved it, but then you start getting less exp while the game requires more and more skills to continue the game without offering any good side content to make the grinding not feel like....mindless grinding.

I'm constantly taking breaks from playing coral island. I love the game but there are so many grindy aspects when it comes to upgrades and quality of life improvements. The trash mechanic is really really grindy. The game is gorgeous but despite having a pretty decent gaming laptop the game stutters and so many other issues when it comes to the graphics. I like coming back to it every now and then especially ones after playing games like league as it helps cool down my head after every intense round xD. I wish the trash requirements in coral island would lessen in the next few updates but then again the main theme of that game is to clean trrash so probobly not ;-;

I really struggled with My Time at Sandrock. The grind was just too much. I hope to pick it up again when I have more time.

I was really excited about sunny side but it feels early access to me. Like it could’ve done with more time in development because it’s kinda ugly to me respectfully

I actually backed Coral Island as a Switch user and idk if you've seen THAT part of the community but uh. If they had not allowed us to change our backing from Switch to Steam, I'd have given up on trying to play it at all. It was incredibly disheartening to see that Switch is never mentioned in updates or promises or so much as breathed upon and that sort of thing left me feeling kinda crummy towards the game going in- not because of any gameplay or graphics or whatever. Now that I can finally play it, though, I've been having fun! But I think if I had to restart my save file any time soon, I'd probably just not try again. :/

I stopped playing Coral Island because I kept feeling like it was "When Mom says we have Stardew Valley at home." I dropped Coral Island when Stardew 1.6 came out and just never came back to it. When 1.1 came out for CI, I was like "nah, that ship sailed and you weren't on it."

SunnySide, and how the devs've handled things between lying on KSer/in stuff originally going to have marriage or similar but nixing it, to the whole BS "relationships" which are basically nothing(like frick not even holding hands?) to the way the character itself responds pretty horribly to one of the "romanceables" just made me never want to play that game again and wish I could get my time and money back. Between that and performance IDEK how it remotely has as many positive reviews as it does.

I completely understand but from a different perspective Reasons why I stop playing or never end up playing ADHD: Hyper focuses on the game and plays it consistently then gets burnt out/bored; too many saves; restarts constantly 😅 Autism: Researches everything about the games; watches gameplay and looks up guides Then gets overwhelmed with so many options; feels like I’ve already played the game without actually playing; gets stuck in preparation mode, never plays Realizes I don’t want to play just watch gameplay 😅🫣🤦🏽‍♀️
