    Gardener’s Path is a fun puzzle game if you’re looking to kill a couple of hours. The graphics and music are charming, and the controls are smooth. However, it might not hold your attention for long periods.

    Beautifully presented and very reasonably priced, Gardener’s Path is a puzzle game that steadily builds in its challenge to offer a satisfying excursion. Not wholly original, but nevertheless it’s a pleasant ramble if you keep off the cacti.

    Considering the staggering number of indie budget puzzlers on the Switch, I don’t doubt trying to make one that stands out is a challenge. OnConsidering the staggering number of indie budget puzzlers on the Switch, I don’t doubt trying to make one that stands out is a challenge. On the visual front I’ll at least credit Gardener’s Path with going to the effort to visually stand out with lush pixel art. In terms of gameplay it’s a bit more down the middle, not necessarily breaking ground with its mechanics, but at least throwing in a variety of objects with different behaviors that will regularly force you to change up your overall strategy. One critical flaw I'd say is that because it doesn't make great use of the screen real estate, with too much empty space around the edges, it does make the detail a bit of a pain to see in handheld mode. However, if you’re a fan of this style, it’s among the better overall implementations out there, but I think more than most tastes in the genre this one’s not as popular overall.
