    Mechanically thin at some points and frustratingly specific at others, Cloud Gardens gave me a strong desire to play a game like Cloud Gardens that was not Cloud Gardens, because Cloud Gardens is not very satisfying to play.

    Cloud Gardens is a hypnotizingly meditative experience and perhaps one of the best chill games I’ve played all year. Its soothing soundtrack and peaceful dioramas are made more pleasant and calming with each careful move made by a contemplative player. Cloud Gardens reminds us that the apocalypse isn’t bad news for the Earth — just humanity. Life will continue to flourish and thrive long after we’re gone; Cloud Gardens showcases that bittersweet beauty of a world without us.

    A verdant puzzle sandbox that evolves beyond your usual feel-good, meditative experience, and leaves plenty of questions to reflect on. While puzzling can be a little obscure, and at times overly-elaborate, Cloud Gardens is more about tinkering and experimentation. An art rather than a hard science. It’ll be a while before I stop thinking about these beautiful little dioramas which value hybridisation over rewilding.
