Cloud gardens professional#
A very ambitious vision to make work, done to a professional standard. Developer Noio has done a fantastic job at bringing an ASMR, almost meditative game to Steam. Partly a gardening simulator, partly a dystopian landscape builder, and partly a puzzle game that is both satisfying and without frustration. Cloud Gardens hovers somewhere in between a sandbox toy and a game with challenges. If meditation was a game, It would be called Cloud Gardens. Adding objects will encourage lush vegetation to grow, but each object must be covered in foliage in order to proceed. The sound on the game is almost an ASMR experience, a soothing breeze noise plays, accompanied by the cawing of crows, further added to by the sound of waves in the distance. You progress through the game in order to work on your own miniature landscape, essentially you are creating your own story, let your imagination run wild! Sound The Story is decent in length, the levels hugely varied. Upon completing the game, You will have a vast assortment of options available for you to use at your pleasure. The idea is, after every level you complete, you will unlock new decorations and flowers that can be used in sandbox mode. No level filled me with resent for ever choosing to play the game, a feat that is rare in most games. But there was never a level that I felt was unachievable. The difficulty does gradually increase somewhat. So the stage progression is set in 3 (and a bit) different chapters Highways, The Junkyard, Rooftops and the GreenHouse(Preview). So instead I will label the Stage progression as the story, and assess it on that basis. so to rate this poorly on our Cloud Gardens Review would be unfair. There isn’t a story to Cloud Gardens as such. It leaves a level of beauty that possibly couldn’t have been achieved with a different art style. Once you combine it all into the setting of each individual level. They’ve picked an aesthetic and they’ve remained consistent.Īlthough the graphics of individual assets aren’t anything to preach about. The graphics on Cloud Gardens aren’t exceedingly great, but nor are they anything to be criticised. You select the size of your plot of land, add your decorations and plants and watch your own garden in the sky come alive! Graphics It is in the sandbox mode that the game was truly designed to be enjoyed. It’s so easy to find yourself progressing through, all the while lost in thought. Something to take your mind off of the outside world.
The game as a whole aims to achieve a sense of tranquillity, There is no pressure, no expectation. The game really picks up when you transition over to the sandbox mode, You can make some beautiful looking scenery, all this chaotic beauty rammed on top of an incredibly satisfying plot of post-apocalyptic land in the sky. They eventually do grow quite tedious, but not mundane enough for you to close it down and look elsewhere. The Puzzles are decent enough, and they are prerequisite in order to unlock everything that can be used in your end-game sandbox of gardening fun. Rinse and repeat until the level completes. Create small plant-covered dioramas of brutalism and beauty by planting seeds, repurposing hundreds of discarded objects and creating unique structures for nature to. Over time I realised that the purpose of the game is to put decorations around the plot of land, which pings out, causing plants and trees within its radius to grow, eventually presenting you with produce that can be picked to obtain more seeds. Harness the power of nature to overgrow lo-fi scenes of urban decay and manufactured landscapes.
but for the sake of the Cloud Gardens review, I stuck with it. And I was just left restarting a level pondering what I possibly did wrong. I’m going to admit, when I first tried Cloud Gardens I really didn’t enjoy it, I didn’t understand how the winning criteria was met.
