I like these types of games, so I’ll be rating it with that in mind, but if you want more story-driven challenge games, this might not be the garden you’re looking for. So, to conclude! Cloud Gardens is a carefree puzzle garden sim with a lot of appeal for the correct type of gamer. Luckily the game has a reset function, which makes it reasonably easy to start over again. Once the mechanics were fully understood, every level became incredibly easy, just a test of patience, making sure not to overspend the junk before collecting more seeds. More boring and frustrating instead of relaxing and calming. Cloud Gardens keeps its tutorials at a minimum, so the first few levels were rough. Another point I would like to make is that there’s no hand-holding. So keep that in mind when picking this up – it might not be your cup of tea. Players can download looping videos of their completed dioramas and share them with other gardeners from across the internet, and our Discord server has a lively community of gardeners. This is a chill game where the primary goal is to delight in your own creativity. To give even more ‘body’ to the lo-fi chill mode this game wants to beam at you, the devs call it: Sure, it sounds easy to grow some plants on abandoned traffic signs well, try adding in some cones, bottles, and other stuff that isn’t near the plants you can grow on the vertical signs-good luck covering them up. It is a relaxing experience that takes you from one scene to the next while encouraging creativity and coming up with your solutions. Partly a gardening simulator, partly a dystopian landscape builder, and somewhat a puzzle game that is both satisfying and without frustration. Watching a seed grow from a planter is satisfying, basically one free plant.Ĭloud Gardens hovers between a sandbox toy and a game with challenges. Some are fast growers, some can grow on slopes and walls, some spread out, and others grow up. It’s much more than just a chill-garden game.Ĭloud Gardens features 13 types of seeds (and one rain cloud) each seed has unique properties. This adds a particular layer of challenge and moves the game into a different genre altogether. Adding objects will encourage lush vegetation to grow, but each object must be covered in foliage to proceed. Creating an urban jungle has never been easier.Ĭloud Gardens offers two ‘modes.’ You can either dive into the relaxing sandbox mode with no goals or take on a multi-chapter “campaign” where the task is to strike a balance between the natural and the manufactured. The main goal of Cloud Gardens is to create small plant-covered dioramas of brutalism and beauty by planting seeds, repurposing hundreds of discarded objects, and creating unique structures for nature to reclaim. It’s time to Harness the power of nature to overgrow lo-fi scenes of urban decay and manufactured landscapes. Cloud Gardens mixes this concept with dystopian settings, creating a more challenging garden simulator. It was relaxing, but since it had no point of completion, it lost its appeal over time. Ranging from Aloes to flower-based plants and some other random seeds you could gain by growing certain flowers to a specific bloom stage. I used to play a game (back in the day) based on growing different kinds of plants.
