Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit

I'm like, 150 hours in so it feels weird to say this, but... I can't actually recommend this. I liked the original, and camp spirit feels more like a version 1.5 than a new game. But it's not even a good 1.5; there's a ton of weird changes that make me scratch my head. The pacing is ass (why does it take 2+ months of real world time before I'm given the final machete upgrade? Why do you use 12000 gold worth of mixed greens to make one deluxe green worth 4000 gold? Why is there no correlation between the quartz used to buy a furniture piece and it's value?), and while I am really enjoying the bear stories, they are dripfed out at an absurd rate. I've run into so many bugs (my special storage critter is just filled to the brim with leftover extra quest items that are long since done but won't go away), and the idea of having to do another daily repeatable quest that takes several minutes and a few thousand gold only to get 500 gold and a single foraged item is insane. Why do quest givers give you a repeatable daily quest every 2-3 days, and yet there's often only 2 or 3 possible options? Even worse, some questgivers only have ONE repeatable quest, and since they have no story quest,…

Starting with what's great: If ya liked the first Cozy Grove, you would really enjoy this one. There's a larger inventory, pets to help you a more robust crafting system, a way to finally make models of bugs you collect, better developed character stories; It's everything I wished was in the first game. However, as much as it pains me, there are a couple major problems that make this game unplayable for me. The bugs and glitches in this game are outta control. There's a certain character in a cave that is infuriating to try and reach with a controller. You have to wiggle and place yourself in just the right spot for the enter prompt to show, but when switching to a mouse, a simple click gets you in. The most absurd glitch just takes away what you put down in a certain area. I put down trees; they're gone. I put down a bird; it's gone. I put down a displayer that took A LOT to craft and put a shell on it; it's gone. Everything that does stay flashes, my UI disappears, and I can't move. After two days of this, I just gave up. As much as I like this game, I don't tolerate a broken mess after months of the game being out. I messaged all of this as a ticket to their support team, so we…

I loved the first one, so I figured this one would be just as cozy, but I can't really say that. Yes, I have a lot of game time on this, but it's because it's still cozy in its own way and brings enjoyment, but I still cannot recommend this. Why? Because bugs are horrible and devs don't seem to be too interested in fixing them even after so many people have brought them up. Here's some of the major bugs that I find bothersome. You have to basically be on your toes all the time worrying when the game is gonna crash. No it doesn't happen randomly but there's at least 50% chance of it crashing when you enter any building. Whenever you wanna mass deposit items, there's at least five second lag before anything happens, and even if you deposit one by one, there's still a small lag spike with each deposit which makes storing items in the long run really frustrating. Limited time quest items won't go away if you decide not to complete the quest and you cannot even get rid of them. The only way not to have them is just leave them somewhere until they appear in your mailbox and you just won't pick them up. In some cases you're able to use them if you get the same quest, but in most cases,…

This game is so good, I love it so much. Loved the first part, but it is such an improvement in every aspect. 1) The story. I will not go into the spoilers, but let's just say, it goes deeper than in the first game. The writing is so good and some twists are incredible. 2) So many quality of life improvements! Quick inventory is such a gamechanger, but basically everything was improved in some way. 3) Companions are such a wonderful addition! They are so charming and adorable and helpful. If you loved the first part or if you just love cozy games, it is an instant recommendation. Definitely give it a try!

I love everything about this game, I played the first one on the Switch and loved it just as much.

So excited this finally came to PC! I'm a huge fan of Cozy Grove the first one and this is just as charming with so many great extras. I played on mobile through Netflix last year for a bit but my phone struggled to handle it so I'm really happy to have it on PC now. The writing is if possible even better than the first game, and I especially appreciate Kyli being front and centre in the story as a fellow wheelchair user. Looking forwards to a year of playing this just like the first :)
