Launch Window

Tiny Garden really manages to feel nostalgic whilst presenting entirely modernised gameplay. It’s a farming game with a difference, and I think it’s fantastic how it’s carved out such a unique niche for itself. In an age where a new indie farming simulator is released pretty much every day, I love that this game went in a totally new direction.

Tiny Garden is such a comfort game, but it is very much a complete cycle of monotony. The inspiration is great on the surface level, and I did enjoy it for its calming experience, but I needed a bit more to dig into.

Early Review

Tiny Garden ticks all the boxes for me. Gardening in miniature surroundings, approaching it like a casual game with strategic planning to unlock all plant seeds, types of soil and decoration options. It’s very cute, the decorations are just like in a doll’s house, and the added letters tell a good story. Though I like my Steam Deck, I’m always more at home with my Nintendo Switch for handheld gaming. So when I review a game on Steam Deck, I ask myself: would I double-dip if it were released on the Switch? The answer here is a firm yes, so for me, Tiny Garden gets our highest rating.
