    Travelling to puzzle worlds to reconnect pieces to help two friends rekindles good memories they have shared together in the past. This is theTravelling to puzzle worlds to reconnect pieces to help two friends rekindles good memories they have shared together in the past. This is the premise of “The Gardens Between”. With a simple, but effective game mechanic and peaceful art style. The game throws you into giant puzzle that you have to accomplish while using your brain and not your muscle. And this is what make this game so unique and clever. Don’t expected to find any monster here as this is not what The Gardens Between is about.

    After playing amazing puzzle game like Limbo, Inside and Little Nightmare, The Gardens between feels fresh and surprising challenging. Starting with small obstacle so you can acclimate to the game mechanic. Deeper your digging in more challenging it becomes closer you get to the finish line.

    It you love smart game who challenges you to think to find solution, this is without hesitation I recommended you The Gardens Between on Stadia. If there’s one thing I was wishing after completing the game. It was to have more puzzles to resolve as much solving them was gratifying.

    Please, The Voxel Agents Studio don’t wait too long to bring us an expansion or a sequel to The Gardens Between. I definitely wants to see what your next game is going to be.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Good puzzle game. The environment is very calm and relaxing. Not too much of a challenging game and very short. But the presentation and graphics are very pleasing to the eye. I was expecting more of the ending. But it was more of a "Oh, ok" reaction when I finished it.… Expand
