Top 10 Whimsy Games that Feel like Spring (Steam Edition)

The beginning of April always means itโ€™s time for serious spring clean in my household. After a day spent untangling wires and dusting my pc tower fans (eww!) I like to decompress by doing my favourite thing: GAMING! But not just any games, I only want to play games that feel like spring right now.

I am a big fan of new seasons and fresh starts. Especially when it comes to cozy games.

I love seeing pastel-coloured aesthetics, baby animals and flowers. Lots and lots of flowers! But most of all I want that sunshine! It’s a rare occurrence this time of year in the UK. As a typical brit, the second there’s a glimmer of sun peeking through the clouds I’m straight outside in my garden.

When spring is in the air my garden just feels like a haven. I recently bought a blossom tree (my first tree!) and the flowers have already bloomed.

But there’s still a nip in the air and I haven’t taken off my long-sleeved jumpers just yet. So I’m booting up my dust-free pc to play some games that feel like spring instead. If youโ€™re in the same mood, Iโ€™ve got a few lovely game picks for you.

10 Beautiful Cozy Games that Feel like Spring

For this list I’m focusing on gardening games, cute games with baby animals and a little bit of that whimsical vibe I’ve been craving lately. Think beauty and sweetness; games that just make you feel good.
