I played it and poured one out for my rose gold ficus - a plant which, it turns out, I should definitely not have poured so many out for. It's wonderful - a game of kindness and observation. But it's also a game in which you grow a series of gardens, learning which plants like to live alongside which other plants, which plants work in which settings, and even which songs to sing to get certain plants to grow. Sure it's a laid-back soap opera about a group of characters living on a neglected island. They need thought and a certain kind of attentiveness, some of which is actually a form of intelligent restraint. But I learnt a lot about nurturing during that first homicide. I am better with plants now - my second desk plant is doing well in my living room while I work from home. I had a beautiful rose-gold ficus, that over the course of a month or so was killed with kindness, watered and watered until I basically had a puddle of wanton ectoplasm next to my monitor.
We were all doing it, expensing purchases at the local artisan florist and muttering about growth periods and those funny spiders that can cause our leafy friends such problems. MutazioneĪ while back a desk plant craze landed in the office. Curious, isn't it? I bet one of you knows.īut the real question is: which games have the best gardens? Here are five of the best. I wonder if it's because games evoke the feeling of being in a garden, or if there's something about what we see in gardens which brings the feeling of calm. There's a serenity to gardens, and curiously enough, it seems to carry over into games. Peaceful places where birds chirp and your next door neighbour's cat poos. Gardens! Lovely leafy gardens with bees and butterflies in. Some of you have memories like elephants! We've had some great discussions in our other Five of the Best pieces. Various Eurogamer writers will share their memories in the article and then you - probably outraged we didn't include the thing you're thinking of - can share the thing you're thinking of in the comments below. So now we're celebrating them.įive of the Best works like this. Then, years later, we find they're cemented in our memory, inseparable from our experience of the game. I'm talking about potions, hubs, bags, mountains, anything really - but things we ignore at the time. Five of the Best is a weekly series about the bits of games we overlook.
