I almost got addicted to this game (being addicted to a game is NOT a positive in my book fyi, but almost is a compliment).

Fun concept, sweet artwork, and mostly good if a bit overly positive voice acting (like in postive toxicity, if I had friends like these I would be ignored if I had a bad day, lol). Anyone who says something is easy for example, I'd counter with "how tf would you kow what is easy for someone else?" Perhaps I find it hard to get my mail out of the mail box, you ____...

The positives include the main mechanics, the way the flowers bloom is incredibly beautiful, planting, tending, collecting, achieving new seeds (even if the randomization factor might be a bit frustrating) and delivering requests is very satisfying. Petting cats is also a huge plus, obviously, as well as being able to decorate and shape your garden the way you want (within the frames set by the games design). I also appreciate things like if you keep some weeds around they will decrease pests, but also use up water in the ground from your planted plats. Same with how different plants thrive more or less in different conditions.

The negatives include the limit on plants you can plant in the garden. You will have space enough around even when it's capped making it seem a bit empty most likely, depending on the plants size I assume. I think players would be okay w toning down the visual quality in order to have more flowers and fill up every area. It's also a bit weird how plants outdoors aren't affected by winter, even though I appreciate it. I would have guessed you needed to choose a precious few to put in the greenhouse in order for them to survive winter, which would have been more logical. I don't see much point of the greenhouse though, since I have trouble getting some things to flower in there even though everything is automated in there, apparently. Same with the soil bags you can buy. I haven't found out any benefit of them. Overall it is lacking somewhat in the descriptive and explaining department. Also some achievemements are buggy, they will pop for some players and not for others, if that is of importance to you.

Apart from that, and as a whole, I recommend it wholeheartedly.
