Leafy Corner

I eagerly waited for this game for quite a while, had it in my phone calendar and everything. And while it's very cute, it just wasn't for me, surprisingly. I'm a plant science major, own upwards of 100 plants, and even work with plants. I love the dynamics the game has with finding variegations and the different types of plants and their care felt educational and fairly accurate. But the game lacks depth for me. I'm just not one of those people that can mindlessly decorate for hours with no goals or purpose, unfortunately. You unlock everything pretty fast, none of the people have a story or personality, there's no real story line or soul to the game. You just water plants (constantly, might I add, which was also fairly annoying), and decorate. So if you like games where you just decorate rooms, this will be for you. Otherwise, probably not.

Det er mega sødt men det bliver hurtigt ALT for kedeligt. :(

The Good: -Lots of amazing plants, with accurate Latin names and beautiful true-to-life graphics. I went to the plant nursery after playing this game and was amazed by how much I recognized because I played this game. That's really cool. -Fun cozy gaming loop up to the final unlockable level. You assist customers, take special orders, water and arrange plants, and then eventually propagate plants to make more of rare variegated varieties, etc. -Lots of pots and decor options for your shop. You can unlock and customize a lot, and the shop grows larger over time, which is satisfying. -An absurdly in-depth avatar customization feature for a game where your character literally doesn't move at all. You can make your shopkeeper look like you very easily. -It's fun to move plants around and arrange your furniture just so. -Discovering variegated varieties is fun and gives you a sense of accomplishment. The ennh: -After a while, the orders and customer requests become repetitive. I wish there were more. -You can't decorate or see the outside of the shop at all. This seems like a missed opportunity, given how often plant shops put plants on the sidewalk to entice shoppers, and how much customizability there is inside the shop. -There's no advertising, review, or staff system. Customers come in at a steady clip no matter what you do or don't do. There's no urgency to fulfilling their requests or waiting on them, either. These people are patient. -There's no day/night cycle. 24/7 plant shop, unless you manually close the store. -The shop feels too small even after you unlock all the expansions. It's hard to find space to carry all the plant types. -After a while, you're just making absurd amounts of money with nothing to spend it on, since your shop is full of decorations and there's nowhere else to go, no other challenges to fulfill. I liked the game enough that I rebooted and played another shop, but I wish there was more to the game overall.

Мне не хватило более детальной сортировки, в том числе в режиме покупки (типа, отсортировать по латинскому названию хотя бы); быстрого перехода из журнала растений в режим покупки растений и обратно; было бы здорово в режиме покупки растений видеть, сколько каких растений сейчас посажено, это было бы удобнее, чем в записной книжке, т.к. сразу можно посадить недостающие. При нажатии на посаженный цветок более полезной была бы информация о том, какие характеристики у цветка (котячность, сложность, суккулент и тд), чем размер горшка, хотя размер горшка тоже нужен, но он сейчас главный на карточке, а когда я ищу, как выполнить заказ покупателя в зале, мне было бы проще сориентироваться, будь в быстром доступе остальные характеристики. В остальном очень и очень хорошо) Люблю игры с сортировкой, про растения, когда красиво, когда процесс затягивает, и можно погрузиться в игру часиков на шесть без остановки и отключить ту часть мозга, которая постоянно погружает меня в тревожность и стресс. Это все здесь есть ♥ Спасибо за классный проект. У меня получился красивый уютный магазин (в который, кстати, влезли все растения без проблем), которым я горжусь))

This is the perfect "cozy game" if you need something equally engaging and cathartic, especially if you love plants. The game seems to be pretty accurate to plant care, I've even learned some new fun facts about some of my favorite leafy friends! Honestly, this is also a great game for my PTSD people. I'm... going through it right now, thankfully, I picked this up right before ♥♥♥♥ hit the fan. [B] [U] I think this has become a title I'll reach for first for a long time. [B] [U] For future updates/DLC, if any are made, I would LOVE to see bodega pets, pests, or anything else along those lines! Much love to the Devs!

喜欢热植的有福了！风格简约但植物好看就够了！好玩，就是重复度比较高，适合放空大脑摸鱼。 希望之后还会有更多更新，比如： 更多品种的植物。 更多斑叶变体。 更多地段解锁。 更多装饰物。 就算是付费DLC也可以！

Leafy Corner es uno de esos juegos relajantes que puedes dejar abierto mientras haces otras cosas. Desde el principio me llamó la atención su estilo artístico, con gráficos pixel art muy bonitos y un ambiente acogedor que transmite tranquilidad. La mecánica es sencilla: cuidas de pequeñas plantas, las ves crecer y poco a poco vas desbloqueando nuevas variedades y decoraciones. No es un juego que te presione ni que requiera estar pendiente todo el tiempo, así que es perfecto para quienes disfrutan de experiencias "cozy" o quieren algo para relajarse después de un día ocupado. La música de fondo acompaña muy bien la experiencia y hace que el juego sea aún más agradable. También me gustó que progresar se siente constante, aunque sin llegar a ser complicado. En lo personal, creo que Leafy Corner cumple muy bien con lo que promete. Si buscas un juego lleno de acción, probablemente este no sea para ti. Pero si te gustan los juegos tranquilos, con una estética adorable y una progresión relajada, definitivamente vale la pena darle una oportunidad. Un juego simple, bonito y muy relajante para desconectar un rato. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQvyWzMtWxU

A fun, cosy game that can easily keep you occupied for hours. The character and shop customisation options are excellent, and I especially appreciate that you can change the colours of the furniture, walls, and flooring at no extra in-game cost. It keeps the focus on collecting and caring for your plants rather than spending currency on cosmetic changes. I've played for around five hours so far and have really enjoyed my time with it. It's not the sort of game I'll sit and play all day, but it's perfect for dipping into every now and then. I also like that time stands still when you quit, so you never feel pressured to keep playing. The soundtrack is another highlight. It reminds me of Virtual Families, which gives it a nostalgic feel, as I used to play that when I was younger. It's relaxing and fits the game well, although it can become a little repetitive when it's on a constant loop. The game itself is fairly simple, which is both one of its strengths and one of its weaknesses. There are moments where there's very little to do, but I also appreciate that it doesn't try to overcomplicate things. You unlock new furniture, plants, and pots using credits earned by completing goals, and thankfully those goals are straightforward and easy to achieve. Like other players have mentioned, it would be great to have the option to hire staff or unlock some kind of automatic watering system. Once you've expanded your shop, watering every plant becomes quite tedious. By the time you've finished, some of the first plants already need watering again, which can make the gameplay feel a little boring. I'd also love to see more purpose given to the passing days. At the moment, the day counter doesn't have any impact. It would be nice to introduce business hours, where you open the shop for customers before closing at the end of the day to restock, rearrange, and review your daily statistics. While you can already pause the game to restock, a proper end-of-day system would make running the shop feel much more rewarding and immersive. Another feature I'd love is the ability to visit other players' shops, whether that's friends on Steam or even community-created stores. It would add another layer of inspiration and replayability. Overall, I've really enjoyed playing this game, especially considering it only launched a few days ago. It has a charming, relaxing gameplay loop and a lot of potential. I'm hopeful that future updates will introduce features like these, as I think they'll help keep the game fresh over the long term. At the moment, I'm not sure whether it's the kind of game I'd start over from scratch once I've unlocked everything, but only time will tell.
