    Horticular is a beautifully relaxing garden-restoring game inspired by Viva Pinata

    I'm in love with Pokopia, but also look up a game called Horticular on Steam. It's pixel graphics, but it plays closer to Viva Pinata than any other game I've ever played.

    With the year ending, I've been thinking about my favourite games of 2024. First up, Horticular. A great gardening game, using a similar creature loop to Viva Pinata. There's more to it than I expected, with a strong "one more day" loop and a mission system to give you long term progression.

    Horticular is a game where gnomes summon you to a wasteland planet to terraform it and create animal habitats. Wildmender is a game where a guardian spirit summons you to a wasteland planet to terraform it and adopt cute animals. These games couldn't be more different.

    If you're interested in a game... I've been playing Horticular, lately. It's a very cute gardening/ecosystem type game! Think Viva Pinata but pixel art, and a lil less complex.

    Lately I've been playing a ton of Horticular. The demo hooked me when I tried it and I waited eagerly for a full release. While there are still some QoL things to be ironed out the love behind this game is undeniable. It's a cute and chill gardening game with just enough challenge horticulargame.com

    I've been playing a bit of Horticular. It's a lovely game. It's got a nice balance between sandbox and directed gameplay going on so I'm regularly engaged. I do love me some sandbox god games. I need to find more.

    That is such a neat looking game, does it work well on the steamdeck? Not exactly related, but I know you've asked for LocoRoco-alike ecosystem builder suggestions before, and I think Horticular might just be it. Has a demo on Steam.
