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 ๐
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
