There's definitely things to like about this game, especially if you like a game filled with fetch quests for cute characters. However, the game design creates a huge barrier to enjoying the good parts of the game. My biggest problem with Cozy Grove is that graphics are so tiny and move so fast that it guarantees eye strain/headaches that force you to put it down after 20 minutes or so. Also, as others have noted, the narrative is long drawn out with not much reward and the use of the console's internal clock to simulate the progression of time (similar to the Animal Crossing series) feels poorly executed, making play more alike cheap mobile games rather than the what they were evidently trying to emulate.
