Garden Simulator is a simulation game published and developed by SunDust and Toplitz Production. It was released on September 8, 2022 and is available on Steam. The game, you guessed it, invites you to create your garden around a house you have salvaged. You're starting to know my love for simulation games so I guess you guessed it, I jumped on it. In addition, you should know that I love to take care of my garden. Except that there I don't have the disadvantages and I do it from my office chair: p. Come on, put on the gloves and let's go to have a green thumb!
So we arrive in the house we bought, because we are tired of life in the city. It's not in great condition. The lawn is not mowed, there is waste. And even plants that line the walls. First step: pick up the waste and put it in the trash. This allows you to recover money, but also experience. You can level up and gain experience. Kind of like in real life. The skills are: watering, mowing, quick learner, florist, farmer, shopkeeper and master composter. The more you garden, the faster you go. Well, on the other hand, I don't make any money when I mow.
Speaking of mowing, I need a mower for that. I need to buy one. Head to the store. There you can buy tools (shovel, watering can, mower), seeds to grow in your garden. There are also decorations as well as the possibility of buying extensions for his land. Because yes, at the beginning, we will only have access to a small part of the house. We will have to buy new plots to expand. So here I am to buy my mechanical mower and off we go to mow the lawn. A bar fills up, at the end a trash bag pops, and heads for the dumpster!
Equipment is unlocked by completing objectives such as harvesting X beets. Tasks will be provided to you on a regular basis. The game is divided into days. Each day ends at 18 p.m. You can, if you wish, move on to the next day. Convenient if you have finished all the work to be done. But hey, don't forget to water your plants and put fertilizer otherwise you will have a bad surprise. I preferred to do two parts. One where I went at my own pace and another where I went to the next day without waiting. It is true that we are happy when we have unlocked the automatic watering as well as the connected mower: p
You have a cat accompanying you. You can interact with it by stroking it, for example. You can also accidentally roll over his back with the mower. Well, he won't get anything, but he'll meow at you. And you can then rest on the terrace that you will have built in the shade of your parasol! I did not specify: pay attention to the delivery man, he swings the packages over the barrier: p.
Conclusion
I had a great time on the game. So, yes, I don't do one-day sessions on it, because it's very time-consuming. But on the other hand 30 minutes to 1 hour from time to time is perfect. It's really relaxing to be able to take care of your virtual garden. In terms of gameplay, it's basic but it's a safe bet and everyone can play it. On the other hand, I advise you to add your own music, because on this side the game is quickly empty. I also didn't talk about the graphics because it's not an important element in this type of game. They do the job, that's all! And the game is far from ugly and, above all, it runs well. What more ?
