cute game that isnt too long and is very enjoyable! my only issue was aiming to jump on a controller was really sensitive, but it felt way better on M&K. i was too used to the controller so i didn't switch but i really wanted to for that specifically.

This game is brilliant. The visuals are amazing, and i am a major fan of the message told in the story. It is not a long game, it took me just under 7 hours to complete, and get all achivements, but is definately worth picking up

This is such a fun, relaxing game! I love the colours, the art style, the sounds, the story--the whole game is basically about how important is it to stop and smell the roses, all of life does not need to be a rush. What a joy to play! Also, I played this on my steamdeck with no issues, both keyboard and mouse, AND controller - it works beautifully with both set ups!

Ever since I played Garden Story, I've been on the lookout for a worthy successor. This, unfortunately, is not it. And I'm sorry to say it doesn't do anything groundbreaking, either. So why I am recommending it? Somehow, this game actually managed to make me chill for a moment. To just... slow down. And convinced me that in the end, everybody is feeling like they're behind on things. So don't worry. Take a break. It's gonna be fine. Ironically, most of what you do in the game is grinding and breaking down everything, so that's a little against the text of the game; turns out that even that when you set out to make a game about not doing much, games are still activities, therefore something you do. It's quite a paradox; one that can be solved, but Lost Nova doesn't do that. Another reason why I'm recommending it is the music. It's just great, it's varied, it's got a pleasant vibe; and while I didn't care for any of the characters really (if you want to make your game like Garden Story, you have to make the player care for the characters), the cute mushroom person was cute, and the Totally-Not-Elderberry also made me smile. Overall, it's very meh. I don't generally recommend meh games; and yet. There's clearly something here, something that makes me go against my best judgment. Perhaps see for yourself.
