Urban Jungle

This cosy game has a nice concept in similar veins as Unpacking, with an added dimension of an added story and plant curation mechanics. However the potential is squandered by the very mechanics it adopts. Unlike unpacking where the rooms and items let you form the story based on your imagination, Urban Jungle lacks this dimension as the story is very much fleshed out and the sentimentality of the items presented are often superficial. The plant puzzler also is a bit frustrating as you generally have to balance three aspects of sunlight, water and combo needs which often ends up you just pilling everything in a tight niche corner making a mess for the sake of optimisation rather than creative or aesthetic placement. In the end you are just chasing objectives while also playing a superficial find the items in a messy room game. The mishmash of game elements, from packing and placement of items, plant collection and item hunting doesn't jive and ruins the cosy mood and midway the game play loop generally falls into a repetitive boring cycle which is uninspiring at best.

Расслабляющая история девушки, чьи мечты были наполнены цветами, а не грандиозными планами её матери. Сюжет прост и уютен, в нём всё понятно и близко. Здесь цветок цветку не товарищ - каждое растение уникально и не желает просто стоять рядом. Удивительные зелёные, а иногда и не только, прихотливые обитатели горшочков. Геймплей предельно прост: расставляй цветы, поглаживай пузатого рыжика Руфуса или гавкающую Эсмеральду, дразни брата, очаровывай соседа-владельца кафе и снова возвращайся к цветам. Идеальная игра для тех моментов, когда хочется просто отдохнуть и не нагружать голову. Рекомендую. 9/10. Благодарю за то, что уделили время моему скромному мнению. Я не пишу подробные обзоры, а просто делюсь своим игровым опытом.

I agree, I don't like Monstera either. The game is very cute, but it just doesn't do it for me. The controls with keyboard and mouse. The plant addition to unpacking random items isn't really doing it for me. There are so many plants that need to be placed. It results in plants that are path blocking in my game. Or all in the same corner. You can only order from 4 types of plants at a time, so it's often, more plants for the sunlight or in humidity or both. And then some plants don't like other plants...

I really wanted to like this game, but meh. I thought you had a certain number of plants and you had to organize them accordingly. I didn't like the buying mechanics and camera is weird. It was cheap at least.

玩法類似Unpacking，遊玩方式以擺放物品為主。 植物們對水氣和光照有不同的需求，甚至有各自偏好的「鄰居」，在擺放時仔細考量植物們的喜好，便可以得到更多分數。 我覺得這個設定很可愛，但實際遊玩時其實可以用盆栽數量硬是車過每個關卡，沒能好好發揮這個特色，有點可惜。 視角的轉動範圍有限，且轉動不太順暢，有些角度還會被樹或造景遮擋。 遊玩時間稍長一些便會發生卡頓，難以移動物件。 遊戲過程中我努力試著幫植物們挑選鄰居，但是只有在「拿起植物」的時候才能看見植物的名稱和喜好，如果改成滑鼠懸停即可顯示植物說明的話應該會方便許多。 總結來說，如果喜歡Unpacking的話可以趁特價買來玩玩看。

Super cute and relaxing game. I wish the story wan a bit longer and the DLC as well. Over all a good little wind down game.

It's fun but wish to have moreee content.

gente que delicinha de jogo meu deus

Sinceramente, aprendendo mais sobre os cuidados das plantas nesse jogo do que vendo a minha mãe cuidando do seu "jardim botânico" em casa. 🗣💚

Me encanta, es muy relajante
