The mechanics and visuals are great and the story flows nicely. My only complaint is that it does trigger motion sickness, for those who are susceptible. I'd love to see a third person option.

I love this game and it's very easy to lose time playing. But, that being said, it is extremely annoying to have a plant cap. Barely 10% of my garden is covered and I can't plant anymore because the game tells me there isn't anymore room. Especially when I have the whole Greenhouse a good 80% of the initial garden and across the bridge empty. And that's in the story and creative. I understand needing to have somewhat of a cap on plants, but barely being able to cover the garden because there is so much space but the game doesn't allow you to use it is aggravating. I would almost prefer that the garden was smaller so it doesn't look so empty. And yes you can decorate it and that's fun but the reason I want to play is to plant a garden. This game has a lot of growing room and I enjoy playing it, but not when I have to go back and delete half of my garden to plant other flowers.

4/5 - This game is very cute and cozy, HOWEVER there is a limit to how many plants and decorations you can have in your garden. If there's a way to upgrade or expand on this, the game would be perfect and a 5/5! There are a few things I wish could be upgraded, like seeing the bugs on plants better, hovering over the plants and it tell me the name of said plant, and aligning decorations and plants better. I do LOVE the variety of the plants but wish I could mix the plants in the bouquet instead of only having one type/color.

Okay. Sure, if you want to play a game for a few hours and see nice aesthetics. It is an excellent game for you. I love the game and the idea. It´s peaceful, and there's no stress about the day ending. You can stay even half an hour (in real-time) after the day in the game ends if you want or need to. However, if you want to spend in the game more time and do all the quests, ... You may be pulling out your hair because of the maximum limit of allowed plants you can plant even though your garden is empty. Or because you spend half an hour of real time at the end of the game day sorting through your inventory trying to find plants and seeds. I am taking a break from this game for the time being.

Not the kind of game I would usually play, but here we are 23 hours later and still going. I somehow got hooked in, it is quite relaxing and a nice break from playing other stressful games. PROS: - Artwork/music beautiful and relaxing - The townspeople are cute - Story is cute but not super in your face CONS - Inventory management is a little annoying. Same items do not stack when placing in storage so things become muddled and hard to find very quickly. Sorting it all out can be a pain and very time consuming. - Random sheep "baaa" noise haha Disappointed there is no sheep I can pat :( Overall its fun and I keep coming back to it
