Garden Witch Life has fun gardening gameplay and a lot of potential, but the good is overshadowed by underbaked characters, awkward progression, bugs, and a lack of "witchy" elements.

Garden Witch Life is a game that has all the right elements to become a success, but unfortunately, it fails to fully capitalize on its potential. The graphics are delightful, the atmosphere enchanting, and the gameplay mechanics easy to learn, making it a suitable option for those seeking a relaxing title. However, the lack of a clear objective, repetitive gameplay, and underdeveloped social components make the overall experience disappointing. This doesn’t mean that the game has nothing to offer. Players who enjoy exploring serene worlds and creating at their own pace may still find it pleasant to immerse themselves in their witch’s magical garden. However, those seeking a deeper life simulation rich in meaningful interactions may be left disappointed.

A more simplified version of a garden sim that’s chill but struggles more to be engaging

I like so much about Garden Witch Life . The bees buzzing round the hives, the roses growing up the trellis fences, the exciting and different areas through the magical portal, the cooking mini-games and no dangerous mine monsters to battle with. However at present it feels more like an early access version, and whilst updates are welcome to resolve issues, I shouldn’t have to restart in order to benefit. It is for the numerous issues I encountered that I can’t recommend Garden Witch Life at this moment. I sincerely hope that the developers weed out the problems, as there is a great farming/life sim game waiting to be unearthed.
