Featured · our own game

## Our pick: A Short Sail (we made it)

We make this one. It is in the list below too, marked as ours, so you can weigh it next to the others. It is a cozy sailing game: you are a little tabby cat with a sailboat, delivering mail, fishing and making friends, alone or online with friends. There are no timers, and the only battles are gentle ones at sea.

Coming in Q1 2027. Free demo in your browser at play.ashortsail.com. Windows, Mac, Web and Steam Deck.

-   **Best farm sim of 2026:** Fields of Mistria
-   **Best to play with friends:** Webfishing

## How we checked

On October 29, 2026, we opened each game’s Steam store page and wrote down three things:

-   **The review summary** Steam shows at the top of the page. For most games, the English store shows the summary of English reviews, with the share that are positive and how many there are. Steam’s top summary, **Overwhelmingly Positive**, needs 95% positive reviews from at least 500 players. **Very Positive** needs 80% or more.
-   **The Steam Deck rating**, from Valve’s own testing: Verified, Playable or Unsupported.
-   **Mac:** whether Steam sells a Mac version.

Review numbers move every day, so treat them as a snapshot. We sorted the list by review summary, then by how many reviews agree. Lengths are HowLongToBeat main-story times. For more numbers, see [cozy games on Steam by the numbers](https://ashortsail.com/blog/cozy-games-on-steam-by-the-numbers/).

## Overwhelmingly Positive

### A Short Hike

**Who it is for:** anyone who wants the surest bet on Steam.

With 99% positive reviews from more than 12,000 players, this is the best rated cozy game we found. You hike to the top of an island park to get a phone signal, and you meet a lot of kind, funny people on the way. It costs little and runs on almost anything.

It is very short. Players who want a long game should look further down this list.

*Developer: adamgryu | Year: 2019 | Platforms: PC, Mac, Linux, Switch, PS4, Xbox One | Length: about 1.5 hours (HowLongToBeat) | Steam: Overwhelmingly Positive (99% of 12,727) | Steam Deck: Verified* | [Steam page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1055540/)

### Stardew Valley

**Who it is for:** anyone who has not played it yet.

Almost 400,000 English reviews, and 98% of them positive. That is a decade of players coming back to the same little farm. It is cheap, it gets free updates, and you can play online with friends.

The mines have monsters with swords. If you want no combat at all, start with something else here.

*Developer: ConcernedApe | Year: 2016 | Platforms: PC, Mac, Linux, Switch, PS4, Xbox One, iOS, Android | Length: about 53 hours (HowLongToBeat) | Steam: Overwhelmingly Positive (98% of 396,449) | Steam Deck: Verified* | [Steam page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/413150/)

### Lil Gator Game

**Who it is for:** players who want a sunny, silly island to play in.

You help a little gator turn a whole island into a make-believe adventure. Its 98% positive reviews mostly praise the writing and the climbing and gliding. An expansion, In the Dark, came out in February 2026.

It is Windows only on Steam, and the base game is short.

*Developer: MegaWobble | Year: 2022 | Platforms: PC, Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox | Length: about 3 hours (HowLongToBeat) | Steam: Overwhelmingly Positive (98% of 4,041) | Steam Deck: Verified* | [Steam page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1586800/)

### Smushi Come Home

**Who it is for:** nature lovers who want a small, soft adventure.

A lost mushroom glides and climbs through a forest that feels huge from down low. There is a journal of real mushroom facts. It runs on Windows and Mac.

A few platforming bits can be fiddly if you rarely play 3D games.

*Developer: SomeHumbleOnion | Year: 2023 | Platforms: PC, Mac, Switch | Length: about 3 hours (HowLongToBeat) | Steam: Overwhelmingly Positive (98% of 1,838) | Steam Deck: Verified* | [Steam page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1740300/)

### Fields of Mistria

**Who it is for:** farm sim fans who trust the crowd.

More than 26,000 reviews, 97% positive, and the full 1.0 release only arrived on August 5, 2026. You farm, help rebuild a town and learn magic, in a bright 90s anime style. It is one of the best value games on this list.

No Mac version on Steam. It has mines with monsters, like Stardew.

*Developer: NPC Studio | Year: 2026 (1.0) | Platforms: PC, Linux | Length: about 55 hours (HowLongToBeat) | Steam: Overwhelmingly Positive (97% of 26,137) | Steam Deck: Verified* | [Steam page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2142790/)

### Webfishing

**Who it is for:** friend groups who want a cheap, funny hangout.

Over 50,000 reviews, 97% positive. You fish and chat as little animals at a camp, and the chat is half the game. See [games like Webfishing](https://ashortsail.com/blog/games-like-webfishing/) for more in this style.

It is the only game here that is not Verified on Steam Deck (it is Playable), and Steam lists no controller support.

*Developer: lamedeveloper | Year: 2024 | Platforms: PC | Length: about 14 hours (HowLongToBeat), though it has no end | Steam: Overwhelmingly Positive (97% of 50,088) | Steam Deck: Playable* | [Steam page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/3146520/)

### Alba: A Wildlife Adventure

**Who it is for:** families and nature lovers.

Alba spends a summer week with her grandparents on a Mediterranean island. You photograph animals, clean up litter and get the town to protect a nature reserve. It is kind and hopeful.

It is short, and it is Windows only on Steam.

*Developer: ustwo games | Year: 2020 | Platforms: PC, Mac, iOS, Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox | Length: about 3 hours (HowLongToBeat) | Steam: Overwhelmingly Positive (97% of 3,274) | Steam Deck: Verified* | [Steam page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1337010/)

### Dorfromantik

**Who it is for:** players who want a puzzle they can return to for years.

Place a hex tile, match the edges and grow a peaceful countryside. With almost 16,000 reviews at 96% positive, it is one of Steam’s favorite calm puzzles.

The main mode has a score and an end. Creative mode removes both.

*Developer: Toukana Interactive | Year: 2022 | Platforms: PC, Mac, Switch | Length: about 5 hours (HowLongToBeat), though most play much longer | Steam: Overwhelmingly Positive (96% of 15,824) | Steam Deck: Verified* | [Steam page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1455840/)

### Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley

**Who it is for:** Moomin fans and anyone who likes a gentle rebel.

Snufkin comes home to find Moominvalley full of new parks and rules. You pull up the signs, play your harmonica and bring the valley back to life. Its makers followed it with Moomintroll: Winter’s Warmth in 2026.

It is short and simple. The puzzles will not challenge puzzle fans.

*Developer: Hyper Games | Year: 2024 | Platforms: PC, Mac, Switch | Length: about 4 hours (HowLongToBeat) | Steam: Overwhelmingly Positive (96% of 1,875) | Steam Deck: Verified* | [Steam page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1808680/)

### Wylde Flowers

**Who it is for:** players who want a farm sim that tells a story.

A farm on an island, a secret coven of witches and a fully voiced cast. The 96% positive reviews often mention the voice acting and the characters.

It is Windows only on Steam, and the story guides you more than a sandbox farm sim does.

*Developer: Studio Drydock | Year: 2022 | Platforms: PC, Mac (Apple Arcade), Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S | Length: about 55 hours (HowLongToBeat) | Steam: Overwhelmingly Positive (96% of 1,709) | Steam Deck: Verified* | [Steam page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1896700/)

### Dave the Diver

**Who it is for:** players who want something cozy with more going on.

By day you dive and catch fish in a strange blue hole. By night you serve them in a sushi bar. With over 51,000 reviews at 96% positive, it is one of the most loved games on Steam. It is funny and full of surprises. See our [cozy ocean games](https://ashortsail.com/blog/cozy-ocean-games/) for more under the sea.

It is the least cozy game here: you fight fish with a harpoon, and some sharks and bosses fight back. The restaurant shifts can feel rushed.

*Developer: MINTROCKET | Year: 2023 | Platforms: PC, Mac, Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox | Length: about 25 hours (HowLongToBeat) | Steam: Overwhelmingly Positive (96% of 51,527) | Steam Deck: Verified* | [Steam page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1868140/)

### Townscaper

**Who it is for:** anyone who wants five calm minutes.

Click on the water, and houses grow into a colorful seaside town. No goals, no score. More than 10,000 players rate it highly, and it costs very little.

There is not much to do once you have built a few towns. That is the deal.

*Developer: Oskar Stålberg | Year: 2021 | Platforms: PC, Mac, Switch, Xbox, iOS, Android | Length: about 1 hour (HowLongToBeat), though it has no end | Steam: Overwhelmingly Positive (95% of 10,637) | Steam Deck: Verified* | [Steam page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1291340/)

### Carto

**Who it is for:** players who want a gentle puzzle adventure.

Carto is a young mapmaker who falls from her grandmother’s airship. You move and turn pieces of the map, and the world changes to match. It is clever, kind and never stressful.

It is top-down and a little slow to start.

*Developer: Sunhead Games | Year: 2020 | Platforms: PC, Mac, Switch, PS4, Xbox One | Length: about 5.5 hours (HowLongToBeat) | Steam: Overwhelmingly Positive (95% of 1,706) | Steam Deck: Verified* | [Steam page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1172450/)

### Venba

**Who it is for:** players who want a short story with a lot of heart.

You cook family recipes as a mother who moves from India to Canada, and you watch her family change over the years. It is tender, funny and short.

The cooking puzzles are light. It is over in about an hour and a half.

*Developer: Visai Games | Year: 2023 | Platforms: PC, Mac, Switch, PS5, Xbox | Length: about 1.5 hours (HowLongToBeat) | Steam: Overwhelmingly Positive (95% of 1,909) | Steam Deck: Verified* | [Steam page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1491670/)

## Very Positive

### Spiritfarer

**Who it is for:** players ready for a long, gentle cry.

You run a ferry for the dead: you farm, cook and build cabins for your spirit passengers, then help them let go. Almost 19,000 reviews, 94% positive.

It is long, and some players find the gathering in the middle slow.

*Developer: Thunder Lotus | Year: 2020 | Platforms: PC, Mac, Linux, Switch, PS4, Xbox One, iOS, Android | Length: about 25.5 hours (HowLongToBeat) | Steam: Very Positive (94% of 18,965) | Steam Deck: Verified* | [Steam page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/972660/)

### Unpacking

**Who it is for:** tidy people who like a story told without words.

You unpack someone’s things in each new home over many years, and you come to know them. More than 23,000 reviews, 93% positive.

A few players mark it down for being short for its price. It is about four hours.

*Developer: Witch Beam | Year: 2021 | Platforms: PC, Mac, Linux, Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, iOS, Android | Length: about 4 hours (HowLongToBeat) | Steam: Very Positive (93% of 23,107) | Steam Deck: Verified* | [Steam page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1135690/)

### Sail Forth

**Who it is for:** players who want a bright ocean to explore by boat.

You sail a cheerful open ocean, meet odd characters, find islands and build up a fleet of boats. It runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. For more boat games, see our [cozy sailing games](https://ashortsail.com/blog/best-cozy-sailing-games/) and [games like Sail Forth](https://ashortsail.com/blog/games-like-sail-forth/).

It has ship battles with cannons, so it is cozy only in its look and pace. It has fewer reviews than most here.

*Developer: Festive Vector | Year: 2022 | Platforms: PC, Mac, Linux, Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox | Length: about 16 hours (HowLongToBeat) | Steam: Very Positive (92% of 602) | Steam Deck: Verified* | [Steam page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1031460/)

### Cozy Grove

**Who it is for:** players who want a small daily habit.

You camp on a haunted island and help the ghost bears who live there, a few tasks each real day. You craft, decorate and fish. Coming back each day is the point.

It runs on the real clock, so you cannot binge it, and some players find the daily limit frustrating. It is Windows only on Steam.

*Developer: Spry Fox | Year: 2021 | Platforms: PC, Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One | Length: about 73 hours (HowLongToBeat), spread over many real days | Steam: Very Positive (90% of 3,845) | Steam Deck: Verified* | [Steam page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1458100/)

## Coming to Steam

This game is not on Steam yet, so it has no Steam reviews and sits in its own section.

### A Short Sail

**Who it is for:** players who want to wishlist a cozy sailing game before it comes out.

You are a little tabby cat with a sailboat, and the islands need your help. You pick up letters and parcels, pack them into your hold, and deliver them to folks. You fish by day and by night, chat with the islanders and make new friends, and build your home island, one plank at a time. There are no timers, and there is no fighting on foot, only gentle sea battles against storms and living waves. You can play alone or online with friends.

It comes to Steam in Q1 2027, with a Linux build for Steam Deck. The Steam page is not live yet. A free demo plays in your browser now, and demo saves carry over to the full game.
