Stardew is top tier cozy. Would also put animal crossing new horizons on that list.

Spiritfarer is another commonly recommended one. More of a linear story though.

Moonlighter is an older game I liked. Has some combat like the mines in stardew, but also you run a little store selling your treasures during the day 💎

Untitled Goose Game is a short cozy game.

Thanks for making this post! it came across my feed and helped me find this community :)

Edit: I’ll also mention Don’t Starve & Oxygen Not Included here . I find the base building aspect cozy
