I have to be honest, I’m not a big fan of games slowing down the process of seeing new content. I haven’t fully finished any of the individual stories as of the time this review was written, but it’s a slow process as much of the content is time-gated.

Considering this spirit tells the Scout that he was in the military before becoming a spirit, I have a feeling this story is going to get rough.
#Cozy grove reviews full
The last one he received? A box full of blood-soaked bear claws. For example, I completed a quest for the Postmaster, and he told me that he gets weird packages delivered. Speaking of progressing the stories, Cozy Grove seems cute and chill at first, but I suspect that more time will reveal some darkness. Luckily the tasks don’t take too long to do, and bringing back the color every day is a satisfying feeling. Unfortunately, after I logged off for the day, returning the next time shows that the island loses the color the spirits brought back the day before, and the process of re-revitalization would have to continue by progressing each spirit’s story via tasks like harvesting ore or collecting plants. Of course, there are still huge areas of the island that stay colorless at first, but as the days go on, meeting new spirits and taking on their quests will revitalize the area. This color appearing is a wonderful sight to see as things start to come back to life. Some color will also return to the island. After completion, the Scout will get some coins and maybe an item or a ‘spirit log’ for Flamey the campfire. That said, Spry Fox’s work has much deeper story elements going on.Īfter going through the first day on the island, I was able to help out a couple of spirits who each had their own quests, although most of the time it boiled down to searching the island for specific items and bringing them back. This is how my mission begins.Ĭozy Grove suggests some distinct inspirations, from the 2D characters in a 3D environment art style, to the concept of taking an abandoned island and building it up - both Animal Crossing and Don’t Starve come to mind. There are many, many lost souls on the island that need, and there are many, many places still lacking color. This bear used to be the ranger of the island, and she tells me that it’s official name is Camp Cozy Grove.Īfter talking with the bear (her name is Charlotte) and helping her, the island begins to grow and color begins to return. The fire’s spirit, Flamey, tells me that there are other spirits here and that it is my duty as a Spirit Scout to assist them.Īfter looking around, I find a ghostly-looking bear. On my first day, I pitch my tent and get my campfire roaring. I am a Spirit Scout, floating along the sea on a mission to a colorless island that rumors say is pretty haunted. WTF Postmaster Bear received a package of bloody bear claws… LOW Time-gating content holds the experience back.
