Cozy Games You Can Play for 20 Minutes or 200 Hours

Farming games with in-game calendars that don’t run on real-time are great for quick gaming sessions. Stardew Valley is a prime example – each day in the game takes about 15 minutes to complete, but it’s easy to get hooked and play for much longer! The game offers hundreds of hours of content, from fishing and crafting to exploring mines and the expansive Ginger Island. And there’s even more on the way! Creator Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone is adding new content in 2026 with the 1.7 update, which will celebrate the game’s tenth anniversary.
