Introduction

Dream Garden is not one of your classic games. It’s more of an experience, a form of art… You are given absolute freedom to create the garden you have always dreamed about. Use it! Create the landscape, add terrain, bring in animals, and/or place buildings. Many other options are available to make your Dream Garden come to life.

Gameplay

Gameplay is pretty much straightforward: you choose what type of garden you want to create, then create it using the provided options. The only limit is your imagination (and how well you master the gardening).

If you ever get bored or just want to try something different, you have the option to rake sand to calm your mind.

Positives

Relaxing
Can play for as long as you want (no time restrictions)
Lots of customizing available
Easy to get achievements

Negatives

Not an actual “game.”
Some precise placements are difficult to get just the way you want
Slightly longer load times

Video, Audio & Sound

Dream Garden has a very decent look for what it wants to achieve; it’s not an AAA rating, but it’s very well done. Animals, buildings, plants, and terrain look great, interact nicely with each other, and you can easily tell what you are doing with a glance.

There isn’t much to say about the audio; the game loops a charming, soothing melody for the duration of the game.

Personal Thoughts

I had previous experience with some 3d modeling, so it was quite simple and intuitive for me to move the camera around. I liked the game, thought it was very basic but well done. Great when you want to kill some time.
