Self-described "coziest open-world game" Infinity Nikki is a beautiful and relaxing experience for players to enjoy at their own pace. The game features stunning settings and gorgeous outfits and places an emphasis on exploration, puzzle solving, and some light lore hunting. Unfortunately, it's only available for a few select platforms, leaving many fans with no way to play it.

The new title takes the Nikki franchise beyond mobile for the first time, but in doing so, it leaves many players out of the fun. Infinity Nikki is available for PS5, PC, and mobile devices, with no plans at the moment to bring the game to Switch or Xbox consoles. Luckily, there are plenty of other games that are similar to Infinity Nikki that can be enjoyed across different consoles

The game uses a cute 2D artstyle and features over 5,000 different outfits and customization options for every dress, accessory, and other 'fit elements.

Available For: Nintendo Switch

It's nearly impossible to speak about relaxing life simulation games without mentioning Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The Nintendo title is still incredibly popular four years after its release, and for good reason. The game provides the quintessential cozy gaming experience, placing players on an island home with animal-like villager neighbors. The cute style and the large variety of items for customization make this game exceptionally fun, with many players putting in hundreds and even thousands of hours of playtime.
Aside from paying off an ever-growing debt to the notorious Tom Nook, there's no real "goal" in ACNH. Players can choose from a variety of laid-back experiences, like catching bugs, fishing, digging up fossils to grow the museum collection of artifacts, interacting with the neighbors, decorating their home and the island, or searching for their dream Animal Crossing villager. There are, of course, many different outfits to find and collect, and players can even design their own clothes and items for the ultimate level of self-expression.

Available For: PS5/4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One/Series S|X, PC, Google Stadia
It might be surprising to find the nostalgic Bratz brand in a discussion of good modern games, but Bratz: Flaunt Your Fashion by Outright Games is a surprisingly well-crafted experience. Set in the real world, players take control of one of the original 2000s-era Bratz characters on their path to becoming a successful fashion reporter.
The Bratz pack is sent to familiar locations around the world, where they seek out the best new fashion trends, play minigames, and grow their in-game social following. This game won't be for everyone, as it's presented in the iconic Bratz style, but even non-Bratz fans will be able to appreciate the bold statements of self-expression. This is also one of the only "open-world" games that takes place across familiar real-world locations, offering a unique experience.

5 A Hat In Time: Cozy 3D Platforming Inspired By N64-Era Games
Available For: PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PC
A Hat In Time was Kickstarted back in 2017, when it more than doubled its funding goal in just two days. The Gears for Breakfast title won people over with its delightfully retro aesthetic, which was heavily inspired by the 3D platformers of the Nintendo 64 and GameCube eras. The game follows Hat Kid, an alien girl who needs to collect her scattered Time Pieces so she can get back to her spaceship and continue her journey through space.

Although the only dress-up element of this game is the fantastical hats, each of which has its own special power, A Hat In Time is similar to Infinity Nikki in its platforming element. Hat Kit can freely explore several levels, running, jumping, swinging, and bouncing around detailed locations as she gathers her Time Pieces and other collectibles, and uncovers fun secrets along the way. The platforming does get difficult at times, but it's never frustrating, and it maintains the joy of exploration throughout.
4 Here Comes Niko!: "The Cozy 3D Platformer For Tired People"
Available For: Nintendo Switch, PC
If A Hat In Time is too platforming-heavy, publisher Gears For Breakfast has a less intensive option, released in 2021 by developers Frog Vibes. Dubbed "the cozy 3D platformer for tired people," the game stars Niko, a "professional friend" working for Tadpole Inc. The platforming and puzzling elements are much more relaxed in this title, which lets Niko explore a world that uses a unique Paper Mario-esque style and silly humor.

Here Comes Niko! takes players across six different islands where Niko can swim, collect bugs, and solve puzzles. Most importantly, Niko's adventures will lead to him making new friends and helping many characters with their issues. The game promises to be the most laid-back platforming experience, perfect for fans of Infinity Nikki.

Beyond these elements, Dreamlight Valley also has regular updates, many of which are free, and unique storylines and quests for players to follow.

Available For: PS 4/5, Nintendo Switch, Android, iOS, PC
Thatgamecompany's Sky: Children of the Light is a spiritual successor to Journey, the 2012 desert exploration game. Journey was a beautiful experience that used minimalist controls, and it's unique co-op that matched players up in-game and limited their communication to a single sound.

Sky: CotL is visually similar to Journey, and features many of the same design elements. Vector-style worlds encourage open exploration and interactions with other players revolve around gift-giving.
