Genuine question, and I'd love to have your input!

The idea of cozy games is generally that there's minimal to zero pressure and consequences. Which can be contradictory to when combat is involved in some of these games, like Stardew Valley.

So what is it for you, as cozy gamers ? Absolutely 'no' to combat, combat ok but low consequences, ok with combat but has to be optional, completely ok with combat... ?

And if so, what makes it an interesting mechanic for you in these particular games?

Thanks!
