Not the kind of game I would usually play, but here we are 23 hours later and still going.
I somehow got hooked in, it is quite relaxing and a nice break from playing other stressful games.

PROS:
- Artwork/music beautiful and relaxing
- The townspeople are cute
- Story is cute but not super in your face

CONS
- Inventory management is a little annoying. Same items do not stack when placing in storage so things become muddled and hard to find very quickly. Sorting it all out can be a pain and very time consuming.
- Random sheep "baaa" noise haha Disappointed there is no sheep I can pat :(

Overall its fun and I keep coming back to it

I would not recommend this game right now. As much as it is relaxing to play it's also full of annoying mechanics and not user friendly.

What do I mean with this?
Currently there is a flower limit of 400, even if you expand the garden. Devs claim it's to prevent render issues on low end pcs and the game crashing but.... a common rose bush carries about 10 to 15 flowers per plant. Granted they're upping it to a 1000 but this just screams poor optimization packaged into concern for their players.
Considering the amount of flowers you at times need to complete quests and the variation of colors you get. This limit is just plain ridiculous.

The UI is probably the only thing that I could praise them on as it is quite nice and has a smooth feel, but it is lacking a lot of user friendly elements. Something as simple as a "pin quest" button would make a huge difference. Or pin which flowers you need to for each pavilion statue. Currently you're left running back and forth or taking screenshots of the quests to complete the orders. (I do add that I have not found the option to pin anything nor have I found it googling around)

Cutting your plants is another annoyance. If you play on controller and you want to cut some roses, you will waste majority of your time collecting plant matter rather than cutting specific flowers. You have to put yourself in various angles and positions to get to the specific branch you'd like to cut. Even with the ability to "steer" your equipment.

This counts for every tool. It will hard lock onto a target, for example if you have 2 plants planted in front of each other and they're relatively close together. Good luck trying to get the one in the back with your shovel or any other tool that requires targeting.

This one is a more personal gripe. The flowers are well done but the ground is just... It looks like we are walking on sludge. Perhaps its due to the "theme" of the game that its less textured but even so, it could use some attention.
There are no "paths" available. So if you planned to make a garden where people could follow a little path under arches and to certain places like the greenhouse, forget about it.

You can buy "dirt" to make flower beds, but they are only in 3 sizes and 1 shape. If you want to make a straight lined flower bed. Good luck!

I honestly can keep going on.
Point of this entire rant is.

If you want to advertise this game as relaxing and peaceful where you can build your dream garden.
Then actually deliver. This does not feel like a fully released game but as an early access.

I found out about this game on TikTok, it was really enjoyable, the art style and laid back play style scratched all the spots. You can make your garden look how you want, BUT what really ruined it for me is the plant cap. How am I supposed to fill all 3 garden sections when you can only have 300, that for me was only enough for starter plot.

You need a lot of plants and in different colours, that take time to get. Some quest even ask you to plant 30 units of the same plant. The only way for me to progress further in this game is to dig out the flowers that I placed specifically to make an image of a garden that I want. I don't want to ruin all of my work, so I just stopped playing this game.

I understand that developers decided on 300 plant cap for the performance. I played on Geforce Now and had no issues. It would be nice to be able to change the plant cap depending on your own choice. To have it 300, 500 or no cap.

How you suppose to enjoy gardening game if you're limited by the amount of plants. Imagine if there were limits in Astroneer, Hydroneer and Satisfactory. No one would play them.
