In the rush to make their opinions known, many social media users have spread dubious claims, hurting their efforts to help bring peace to the Middle East.

Nova Lands is a factory building, exploration, and island management game. Explore, engage in combat, and automate your industry. The planet you’re on is full of mysteries, creatures, people, and things to do. Welcome to your new home amongst the stars!
The first game I ever played of the genre was probably Wandering Willows. It's quite old, release was in 2009. It was very different from all the other games I played up until then (which was mostly Final Fantasy, Zelda, Mortal Combat and the like xD).
You are stranded on an island and have to fulfill quests and help the villagers. As a companion you can catch various pets and level them. There is also farming and character customization.
Nearly all my gaming happens on my PC, with the majority of my game library hailing from Steam or Good Old Games (GoG). I've been eyeing a Nintendo Switch or perhaps a Steam Deck, though...
As for mobile games, I've yet to discover one that I like. :<
What makes a game "cozy" for you? That special feeling you get, like you're wrapped in a warm blanket on a rainy day. It doesn't always have to be all rainbows and sunshine for me, although I love games like Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, and Slime Rancher which definitely give off the cute vibes.
But it can also have a bit of a darker side. Take Night in the Woods for instance. Sure, it has its dark moments, but it still feels homey and familiar. And Spiritfarer. Anyone else feel the same way?
I think a warning might be good when recommending certain cozy games, but overall I still think those "darker" ones earn the title. Or should cozy mean absolutely only unicorns and flower patterns?
