PC Gamer Highlights Four Favorite Cozy Games Featuring Flight Mechanics

A recent editorial feature highlights four cozy video games that incorporate flight mechanics, focusing on the freedom of exploration they offer players. The selection includes titles ranging from open-world exploration games to emotional story-driven journeys.

The list features Promise Mascot Agency, where players can upgrade a kei truck with wings to soar across Kaso-Machi island after driving off cliffs. Another title on the list is Journey, a classic game known for increasing flight distance as players progress through its emotional story. Sky: Children of the Light, developed by the same studio, brings similar flight controls and distance upgrades into a miniature multiplayer online game filled with puzzles. Finally, A Short Hike is included for its low-fi island exploration, utilizing gliding mechanics to help players search for secret areas.
