Long-awaited Twitter darling Garden Story just released its first demo. Here’s what we learned after playing through it twice.
Dave writes: "Garden Story introduces itself as something of a Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing, but can’t possibly compete"
Games Asylum: "Rebuilding a community, strengthening bonds, and unifying the world – you’d have to be a real sour apple not to approve of Garden Story’s themes."
WTMG's Aaron Price: "If you are looking for a stopgap substitute for a 2D Zelda game, but with a bit more to offer in terms of depth and playability, Garden Story is the way to go. If you’re not willing to go out there and fight enemies at a particular time, just chill out, handle some requests, meet the characters, head back to bed, then do it all over again. Look for perks. Search for upgrades. This is a game you can either tackle in a handful of hours or enjoy it for much longer, depending on how much you’re willing to invest in it."
