[h1] Garden Buddies [/h1] Przyjemna "farma" z mini gierkami!
froze. it was cute for a minute. maybe it's not ready for steam deck?
minus the few bug crashes overall cute game. beat it in a lil under 2 hours . dialog was super adorable though at times felt very kidish but sometimes you need that lil reminder that you are enough and are valid and this game does a good job and reminding you of those things. you never know what people are going through. i wish there were more charecters too cuz i just loved all of them so much <3
finished the whole story mode which is essentially the whole game in 39 minutes. not worth the pick up if you're a cozy gamer but if you're an achievement hunter then go for it during a deep sale because these 8 achievements are easily obtained as they are story progression ones. but there is barely any gameplay to be applauded and the storyline feels like it was written for 5 year olds. what is shown on the store page, those barebones you see are EXACTLY JUST THAT. there is nothing more to it along with an odd idle mechanism to progress the game and some mini-games such as memorizing dance sequences, catching bugs, cleaning, rhythm, and stacking stones which is supposedly the selling point. though after finishing the story mode, there is nothing more for you to do in the other mode as decorating the garden serves no purpose and no reward is granted. works on steam deck but the zooming in and out is horrible plus it randomly follows a character which makes your whole screen go berserk. should've been a free or $1 game because honestly the full price is NOT JUSTIFIED.
anti-anxiety short game. very cozy
Compre se estiver se sentindo sozinho!
Story is wholesome and short enough. The pond scene was a bit weird. Works fine on steam deck aside from one loading scene crash, which seems to be a common issue. Definitely not worth full price it's barely an hour and that's mostly 90% cutscenes
An sich sehr süß und entspannend, nur andererseits gibt es einige Kritikpunkte. - Je mehr Spieltage man spielt, desto länger werden die Ladezeiten. - Manchmal führen diese langen Ladezeiten entweder zu Abstürzen, oder dass sich das Spiel komplett aufhängt und nur noch ein Neustart möglich ist. - Inhaltlich sehr kurz. Was die Kaufempfehlung angeht, sitze ich im Zwiespalt. Für die Story, die meiner Meinung nach sehr kurz gehalten ist, ist der normale Kaufpreis viel zu hoch. Dazu kommt, dass ein paar Bugs in diesem Spiel sind - bestes Beispiel lange Ladezeiten -, die (noch) nicht behoben wurden. Andererseits entspannt es sehr den Garten nach Belieben zu dekorieren und der Kreativität freien Lauf zu lassen. Auch die Musik und die Charaktere sind sehr liebevoll gemacht. Und auch die Story, auch wenn sie kurz ist, vermittelt so an sich eine berührende Botschaft. Ich werde es daher trotzdem bei einem Daumen hoch belassen.
It's a cute cozy little game where there are no stressors and it's just a place to work off of creativity while listening to calm music. ♥
Sweet and simple, I like returning for the little mini games. I really like to play this when I am overwhelmed or overstimulated, it is cute and humorous.
