[b] Before You Read [/b]
[I] Every review on my profile is based on my own personal experience with a game. My opinions aren't facts, and you're not expected to agree with them-and that's perfectly okay.
My goal isn't to tell you whether you should like a game. Instead, I try to explain what worked for me, what didn't, and who I think the game might appeal to.
Constructive discussion is always welcome, but please remember there's a real person behind these reviews. Respectful disagreements are encouraged; insults, hostility, or personal attacks are not. [/i]
[b] What is Leafy Corner? [/b]
In this game you own and run your very own plant store! They have many different types of plants and you can own and collect them all.
[b] Quick Pros [/b]
✔ Addictive game play loop
✔ Satisfying progression system
✔ Unique mechanics
✔ Easy to learn controls
✔ Relaxing game play
✔ High replay ability
✔ Lots of content to explore
[b] Quick Cons [/b]
✘ The game needs more variety of plants (As someone who owns plants) I want a monkey tail cactus! I also would love to see us be able to create our own hybrids and variegations.
[b] Initial Thoughts: [/b]
-"I JUST GOT POTHOS- I love pothos they are my favorite."
-"As much as I love the plant variety I wish there was more, I feel like we are missing the ability to have greenhouses and employees in our stores. I just also wish there was more plants! I wonder if they will add more."
-"Oh my god they have a swiss cheese variegated monstera- I am literally going to buy one of those soon, I love them."
[b] Beginner Player Friendly? [/b]
I would argue this game is beginner players friendly, though I feel like the tutorial could use some work. However, once you understand how the game works you are in for some nice and cozy game play. To all my cozy gamer friends you should absolutely play this game.
[b] Game Play: [/b]
In this game your goal is to open and run your very own nursery! You grow your own plants of all shapes and sizes and help out your community with doing orders through the telephone and answering questions to try and help people find their dream plants. You can complete goals to get more styles of plants and earn points to unlock more pots in many different styles. You also can use those points to get more styles of shelves and decor. Make sure you water your plants so they don't die (however if you get annoyed by this feature you can turn the watering mode down so you don't have to water as much, you can also make it so your plants cannot die if you are like me and forget to water.)
[b] Graphics: [/b]
The graphics in this game are super cozy and would run well on lower end systems. The details of the plants are honestly adorable and so cozy. I love the character customization, and I love how the variegated styles come when you plant more. Which, speaking of varigated styles, that's one of my favorite things. I have yet to unlock all of them, but pothos and the Swiss cheese monstera are my absolute favorites.
[b] Community: [/b]
Though I have not dived to deeply into this community so far everyone seems wonderful and its just filled with a lot of cozy gamers who are just looking for a good time. If you need help I am sure you can jump to the steam forums for some assistance.
[b] How long can you play? [/b]
In this game I already have 8 hours, which is a nearly completed run through with almost all of the plants and with one more level to unlock. I spent a lot of time growing plants however and got completely distracted from the level goals of leveling up. I only need to unlock the carnivorous plants to complete the game. I am unsure at this point if the devs are working on more content or not. I sure hope so.
[b] My Opinion: [/b]
In my opinion, this game is a super cozy plant shop simulator that just Is the perfect thing to play after a long day. I recommend this game if you love plants, or even if you are just looking to learn more about them.
