It seems like cozy games and the holidays just go hand-in-hand. As the fire flickers in the background and that big mug of eggnog steams away next to you, booting up something like Disney Dreamlight Valley or Stardew just feels like the logical next step. If you've already completed all of their content, however, Mirthwood is a chill new adventure from Bad Ridge Games that transports traditional farming and management mechanics into a Fable-style world. Ahead of the holidays, it's getting a huge new update that overhauls combat and, of course, adds some festive goodies.
