The best "at your own pace" game I've played. If you want to relax, its for you. If you want survival, you can play it hard and fast. If you just want to make a pretty garden, you've got that. Even the story is really deep and moving. I love this game and will always recommend.

I don't know how to feel about this one to be honest. The basic premise is fantastic, and watching the landscape become green slowly over time as you grow more and more gardens is very fun, as is the ability to terraform the terrain. But if I had to describe this game with one word it would be tedious. You spend a lot of time just running back and forth to replenish your bottle and food. Inventory space is severely limited, and you also need to a lot of micromanagement because there is no crafting from containers! The interface also could use some work, it's very unorganized and everything is just a big list really. Also this game makes my gpu run at 100% during nighttime, I suspect it's the overabundance of transparency effects but it definitely does not have the graphical fidelity to warrant this. Overall, great premise/idea, very mixed execution. If I could give a neutral review, I would.

I am very hard to please and often start playing games and quickly move on. This one was a lot different for me. I think it's because it's not overly challenging - I get to take time to breath, building a massive garden out of what was once a wasteland. Terraforming gets very easy after you progress the story to the second area, and travel is easier after going to the third area. The fourth area is the biggest challenge by far. But I don't think I would recommend this game for someone who is expecting a high paced challenging game - There is combat, but once you have some abilities in the bag it is fun and chaotic but not necessarily hard. I haven't died once and the only time my partner died is from the elements. Multiplayer is a lot of fun, especially since there are many different areas so you can technically pick your own spots to make unique gardens and some to make together. Ultimately, I think this game is great for people who are looking for a game to make them feel relaxed. From cultivating new species of plants to the beautiful sights and soundtracks, it's a great way to wind down after a hard day at work. Also as a side note to the developers: I cannot thank you enough for making this game. I LOVE gardening, but I am physically disabled to a point where it's impossible for me to even consider. Getting to grow a beautiful garden and make a wasteland into a beautiful cozy place for me and my partner has been amazing. This is a very rare game for me, as even though we beat the story I'm not feeling bored or like I'm finished, I'm having way too much fun trying to heal every inch of the wastelands.

I absolutely adore this beautiful game! <3 The art style, the glowiness, the mechanics, the concept, the message... there's nothing I don't love about it. Also, you can hug frogs!! if that doesn't give you a cuteness overload, look at the spirit darters!! <3 It only leaves me with a wish for more of it! I'm in my third playthrough and just can't stop xD Things I wish I knew a bit earlier: - Plants placed next to bodies of water are watered automatically and you can change bodies of water by digging (Yes I'm a bit stupid sometimes). - You can dry Fruits/Seeds by dropping them in the sun (if you are lucky, I think this is a bit bugged). This makes them much easier to store and is especially useful for seeds required by quests or crafting. - You can increase the length of bridges by clicking them after you've built them! - Frozen Essence is useless, don't keep it. In general there is no need to hoard more than 1 stack of each material (unless you want to regreen the map as much as possible, that needs a lot of wellstone materials). - Hovering over the grave markers on your map that you get from scrying with the altar shows the required offerings. They either require any variant of a fruit (You can use dry ones!) or ancient ones. Ancestral Lilies are only required in their 4 base colors (red, yellow, white and sky). So no need to hoard other variants :) (Yes I have hoarding issues XD) Hope this helps! Have fun!!

So here's the thing- this game is lovely. You restore the world to its former beauty, given direct control over the flow of rivers, mountain ranges, the earth, etc. It's great. After completing major story beats you get the ability to fly, and then the game goes from good to great. The combat is simple, traversing the world feels fantastic, and the whole premise is executed really well. That said. Fighting the final boss has ruined the entire game for me. After killing the tainted Tree of Life, the game immediately teleports you back to your garden, you get a little spiel from the gods, and then a sixty-second timer triggers and spawns the final boss. Right in your garden. That you have spent the entire game cultivating. Annoying, but by that time you presumably have some defenses up, right? Throughout the game little evil guys called wraiths periodically swarm you, and you unlock recipes to build up defenses that do a great job at fending them off. I had probably two dozen bees, defensive runes, and the lot, and the final boss ominously hovered by and blew them and a third of my garden off the freaking map. I have 40 odd hours on this game, and I can confidently say at least 20 of them were spent carefully cultivating my garden. The fact that every other story beat fight happens far, far away from your base, but the last one spawns the final Big Bad smack dab in the middle of your garden is crazy. Actually crazy. I would have loved a warning. The game even tricks you into thinking the final fight will be held somewhere else, because all of the cut scenes with Sellan take place literally on the opposite side of the map. So yeah, I beat the game. Restored the desert, all that good stuff. But all the work I put in is dust in the wind. And not just my garden- he blew up all my storage as well, and I lost almost all of the seeds and food I had stockpiled. I highly recommend this game; it's easy, fun, and felt great to play. But the final boss cancelled all that out for me, unfortunately.
