Garden Story Review (riscoflorin)
I want to be short and to the point for those who are interested in buying or playing this game.
Pros:
-Very cute and relaxing to play
-Good Soundtrack
-Very similar to turnip boy
-Good Story and Characters (Rana is my favourite)
-The bosses are well made, not very difficult to beat them
-The graphics are very good and run perfectly if you have a potato PC
Cons:
-Too few bosses and content in the balance with too many weapon upgrades. This is the worst thing in the game, to do all the weapon upgrades and complete the remaining things in the game after finishing the story takes about another 10 hours. But in those 10 hours you won't do anything new, you'll just collect resources to max all your weapons and unlock special abilities on them which are useless because there are no other bosses to beat. Of course, you can beat the same bosses again (which are only 4 anyway) but it wouldn't make any sense because with the upgraded weapons it will only be much easier to beat them and you will get bored faster.
-I would have liked the game to have more different difficulties or more content after finishing it, with new missions and more dialogues
In conclusion Garden Story is a very nice game that is worth playing if you liked Turnip Boy, a game that needs more content like a dlc and updates to be balanced in terms of difficulty, upgrades and quantity of content offered together with missions and story.One or 2 dlcs would complete this game properly. For example, a new story to play with Rana or young Plum or why not a prequel with one of the guardians and their adventures. Something to add content with new areas, bosses, enemies and new characters for more story where you can use your upgraded weapons and plus one or 2 new ones. This is of course just an opinion because the game seems to need a continuation in the form of an update or dlc, or both from my point of view. It gets an 8/10 from me because I liked it and it still has potential
