    It’s a difficult thing to put a score to. A normal free experience might be valued against the other things you could be spending your time on, but this isn’t something you’ll interact with very often. Give it a try and see if it resonates with you, but don’t expect to fall in love.

    The game is best experienced as an occasional therapeutic exercise.

    You won’t find anything that’s truly groundbreaking here, but you may find a relaxing experience if you’re the type of person that’s always wanted to grow a desk plant but just haven’t had luck with the real-world variety.

    Viridi is a poor experience throughout. A plant growing simulator in name only,

    A beautiful game with lovely music, great for running in the background. Has a few problems, but they are minor, mostly control related, andA beautiful game with lovely music, great for running in the background.

    First of all, it's not a growing simulator! Rather, it's an interactive screen saver or a relaxing app.
    I've been playing it for 20 hours.

    I've been playing it for 20 hours. How does it look?
    Once a week or two I remember about it (or more often when I'm stressed), open the "game", water flowers, remove weeds, plant new flowers and enjoy by watching the pot with pleasant music. That's all.
