New Cozy Game for Nintendo Switch Will Cure Your Pokopia FOMO (& It’s Just $20)

by

Ever since the new Pokemon life simulation game, Pokopia, came out, it’s been all anyone can talk about online. However, not everyone is playing it – Pokopia is the first Pokemon game only available on the Switch 2, and many players haven’t upgraded to the new console yet. While the game is likely to encourage people to buy a Switch 2, it’s still too expensive for some. Luckily, there are still plenty of new games coming out for the original Switch, including one that might just satisfy your craving for a unique, shape-shifting experience.

Enjoying games like Pokopia? Then you’ll be happy to hear about Collector’s Cove, a new indie game that blends relaxing life simulation with the fun of collecting creatures. It’s launching on March 12th for PC, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch, and it’s surprisingly affordable at just $20. You can even get it for $17.99 during the launch sale. Here’s what makes this game worth checking out.

Collector’s Cove Brings a Cozy High-Seas Farming Adventure to Switch

I’ve been so excited about Collector’s Cove! As a big fan of farming sims and Pokémon, it really caught my eye. What’s cool is that instead of a traditional farm, you’re basically farming on a boat, sailing around the ocean! You explore islands with your animal buddy who helps keep everything running, and you spend your time collecting all sorts of rare plants, fish, and other neat stuff to fill up your compendium. It’s a really fresh take on the genre.

While it’s primarily a farming and adventure game, building a relationship with your animal friend is at the heart of the experience. Completing the in-game collection book gives you a satisfying feeling of completion, like you’re trying to collect everything, as you fish and grow unique plants. With lots of crafting and exploring too, this is a great new, relaxing game for Nintendo Switch players. If you’re wondering if it’s right for you, watch the release date trailer below!

With cute 3D visuals and a relaxing soundtrack, Collector’s Cove looks set to be a top cozy game this year. It’s launching on multiple platforms at a fair price, making it easier to pick up than games only available on new consoles like Pokopia. You can even try a free demo on Steam before you buy!

Collector’s Cove will be available on PC (through Steam and Epic Games), PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch starting March 12th. The game normally costs $20, but it’s currently 10% off on the Nintendo eShop, bringing the price down to $17.99 until April 1st. If you’ve been wanting to get into the cozy farming sim genre, or enjoyed games like Pokopia, Collector’s Cove is a charming option to consider.
