Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 113 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Very Positive (174 of 197 positive).
Players praise Tiny Garden for its nostalgic Polly Pocket aesthetic and charming, relaxing atmosphere. [1][2][3] Some reviewers find the game becomes grindy and tedious, especially with limited space and chaining mechanics. [4][5][6] A few players report technical issues, including poor Steam Deck support and a black screen on launch. [7][8]

Firstly, I don't know what game the reviewer was playing who commented in the discussions that it runs perfectly on steam deck and should be verified. That was the sole reason I bought it early instead of waiting for more steam deck reviews. It doesn't. The game is default setup to use the left and right triggers, with the track pad acting as a mouse. Why? It could use the A and B buttons instead with a joystick for …

*Tell me you’re a millennial without actually telling me you are a millennial XD* This is Polly Pocket 2.0!! I am a little collector of memories. I love reminiscing. And I love games that tap into that. You get to garden and customize your very own pocket oasis in this game. It opens up just like your old school Polly Pocket to reveal different compartments for you to work with and decorate. There is a certain …

Okay, I've only played four hours, and the value for the money is great. However, the level of tedium I'm at with this point is kinda making my head wanna explode lol. You know those merge games on mobile that are addicting at first and eventually get to a point where it feels impossible to get what you need in an endless chain? That's what happens here. It feels satisfying when you finally unlock something but it …

Bought this game expecting a chill decorating game but actually locked in trying to unlock all the plants and didn't care that much about the decorating in the end because the puzzle element is way more fun. 8/10 forgot I was alive for 7 hours

Everything looks so cute and cozy but once you realize you can only progress with excessive grinding or with min maxing your extremely limited garden space... you don't wanna invest the time anymore. I got to my breaking point when I was around 500 growing cycles in to plant and harvest a spot with a sunflower shine on it. Because in this spot I got to harvest both the veggie and its seed to continue the cycle. So I got a good amount of…

However, to my displeasure, I cannot get the game to load even though my PC has all the requirements needed. I get the opening screen where it says tiny garden followed by a black screen with the developer's logo on it. At that point, I can hear music kick on for the game, but I never progress past the black screen. I've spent over an hour now…

positive · AI labelView post →I grew up playing with Polly Pockets so when I saw Tiny Garden, I knew I had to have it. I wanted to like it so badly but I lost interest after only an hour. It's tedious and I don't like the "chaining" required to grow crops. I'd have enjoyed it more if growing crops produced gold that I could use to buy more seeds. Using crops to buy seeds - having to think increasingly further ahead - all while having access to a limited amount of space just isn't an enjoyable mechanic for me. Even at the…

positive · AI labelView post →I liked this game at first. It's an adorable concept and I love unlocking new terrain and new plants. But the garden board is annoyingly small, and some of the puzzles to create terrain I can't figure out, and I'm completely stuck at this point, so yeah, I'm done.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I first saw this game advertised as a cosy garden sim, and clicked. As soon as I saw the 'pocket toy' setup, I had already fallen in love! :D Polly Pockets and Mighty Max toys were a big feature of my 90's tweenhood, so I instantly had to see what what going on. I was not disappointed at all! This is a lovely and wholesome game, with a cute aesthetic :) You could play it purely for creativity, but is also quite addictive as a small management sim, with the game benefits being that you can…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I burnt out extremely fast on Tiny Garden, due in large part to the complex "chaining" process it uses for unlocking new seed types. Basically, each new seed has to be bought with harvested crops of other types, and the necessary crops chain up more and more as you advance through the game. It got to the point where I was having to harvest seven or more "intermediate" crops just to get one "advanced" crop, and that's not even taking the terrain requirements into account, which require…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very boring and grindy game. Especially bad if you use a controller or play on steam deck. You plant a seed and then turn a crank 1 to 3 times to make time pass so the seed will grow. Every seed pack costs previous plants so the "economy" is a loop of "to get the next plant I need the previous plant, but I don't have enough of the previous plant so I need to go back and grow more of the plant before that one... and the one before that one too". There really isn't any way to lose or any…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I feel bad about "not recommending" this. The art style is very charming, but the core gameplay loop is not for me. it's not particularly compelling, and it lands in a weird uncanny valley where it's too involved to be a low thought relaxation game, but not involved enough to be actually compelling. I was really excited by the classic polly pocket vibes of this but it just fell through for me

positive · AI labelView post →Even if you don't have PPN (Polly Pocket Nostalgia) this game is fun. The game play is kept fresh with the different crops and tools. The puzzles that unlock as you play give a much needed break to grinding out seeds and crops. Decorating is okay but changing the color of things is time consuming. You can change the color of everything by going into the color tab in the customization menu but to change the color of an individual item you have to go into the item glossary. Full disclosure: I…
