Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Free as in 'freemium'. You have to pay for everything from new seeds to new pots to new maps, no way to just earn them - except the seeds, which you can pick up 1 for free every 7 days at random. I think this game's art style is super cute…”
“Woah! 5$ plant seed DLC?! It's just an Idle plant sim where you pay money to grow your virtual pot of succulents. It'd be cheaper to go to your local shop and do this IRL.”
