Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly enjoy Cozy Island as a silly, relaxing co-op game, though clunky controls, bugs and untranslated text are common complaints.

Many players say the game is cute, relaxing and most fun with friends, with plenty to explore, collect and craft, and a silly physics-driven humour. Players praise the soft art style, the playful mini-quests and vehicles, and the freedom to play at their own pace without pressure. Complaints are centred on the controls, which many find awkward on both controller and keyboard with no way to rebind keys, plus frequent bugs, occasional lag and stuttering, and some Chinese and Japanese text left untranslated. Some players find the guidance vague and get lost, and a few wish for a sprint button or map. Recent reviews are more mixed than Steam's overall totals, with several negative reviews citing low frame rates, a trial-looking store page and the game feeling short, while older helpful reviews focus more on the fun of co-op play.

Who it suits
Suited to players who want a relaxed, silly co-op game to play with friends or family and who are happy to explore without strict goals.
Who should skip it
