Description: This is an open-world simulation of plants that live and grow according to the conditions in their environment. Plant your seeds anywhere – there are no rigid plots or grids. It’s a sandbox experience where you are free to do as you please. Work towards a series of increasingly difficult achievements or simply grow a beautiful garden and admire the view.
Review: For me ‘Gravity Garden’ goes one of two ways. Part of me enjoyed it and can see the potential the game could offer, but the other part of me knows that this is just half a game, it looks basic, features almost zero sound effects and just feels unfinished and a long way off being so. Its a farming game of sorts which is a genre that I normally do like, but it just doesn’t feel right as you are often left to get on with it and discover things for yourself which then leave you feeling frustrated by the complex controls. It is at least free I suppose, but I am not willing to recommend it just yet, not until a lot more work is done with it. Until then it is best off left in the field alone to grow.
