Grow: Song of the Evertree Reviews

I can't recommend this game. It's far too dated for the price and the options in modern cozy / farming / city building games now a days. There's a significant lack of polish on the graphics overall. The character creator is so disappointing with the lack of features. There's the whole pronoun issue, which I don't believe players of this genre care too much about, but there may still be those that do. The controls / movement / animations are sluggish that I'm shocked to see spyro does leagues of a better job than this. I'm sorry for those that love this game, I really wanted to fall in love with this whimsical looking world, but if you're looking at all the positive reviews I strongly suggest watching gameplay videos before purchasing.

What a beautiful game. Love the story of the Song. Very heartfelt. Very unique and special game.

I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this. It is so whimsical and cute with just enough to do in order to stay occupied without being too difficult to ruin the "cozy and relaxed" vibe of the game. I would recommend this to any of my cozy, open-world game loving friends.

Cute. Filled with wonder and that timeless feeling of reward.

This game reminds me of Dreamlight Valley. It is a mixture of city building, quests, exploration and creating and finishing worlds (to get resources for city crafting). It was cozy and a fun game to spend the weekend playing. The graphics are very pretty and I enjoyed it a lot. If you are looking for a high action, high paced video game, this wouldn't be for you, but if you want a game to relax, listen to a podcast, and smoke to, this is it.

Great fun, kept me entertained during some really tough times.

took me 62 game days to complete. after you complete the storyline you can continue for as long as you want. basically you make world seeds using essences, what essences are used effect the world type and what essences you gather from objects within that world. (4-5 types with a total of 50 essence are used to make a world, that world will give the same type of essences used to make it and 5 others) along side that you also build little towns to get people to come live there and build harmony up in those towns. (building businesses and then placing people into their dream jobs, and decorating the area). while exploring you can find caves, chests and the vaults. the vaults are needed to be completed for the storyline. there are three puzzles to each vault and some puzzles here and there in the world/world seeds. there is a bit of repetition and it can get boring but you can do as you want each day. you're not bound to certain tasks. puzzles aren't hard even the maze isn't bad (although some call it a labyrinth) animals on world seeds can be tamed and added as pets to people homes, to nature reserves, or to ranches. there is fishing and bug catching but it's not necessary for completion. (other than for fun you catch them for settler quests, to place in nature reserves, or to trade the everkin.) sometimes when u build a building there are chests found in the construction site. but there's a bug where after awhile they start spawning in as already opened, quick fix is to save and relog in. then the chests can be opened as intended. another issue i had was after playing for several hours straight the icons and things became blurry, but saving and relogging fixed that. you can't die in this game but you can like go out of bounds and be reset near where you were. (can't swim so if you go into deep water you spawn back on land) some things in the game are overly cute and others are more gross like smelly worlds that have eyeball, and mouth plants and make a squishing sound when jumping. pink is over used >,< which seems to be a fade with games like these.. the days don't seem to be as long as i would have liked. but you can still do a bit within a day. and there's not a time/day limit. ( time stops while in where-ever, or while in caves/vaults) anyways it's a laid back relaxing game that even a child can play.

It's just not quite got it. I wish as much mechanical focus went to the world tending as went to the town management.

I agree with another reviewer in that, if you enjoy games like the My Time franchise or SDV, you probably won't enjoy this. It's mostly just a really repetitive game that seems like it will tell some kind of a story but doesn't really. It feels like it was designed for very young children or possibly really old people that aren't very good at gaming.

While I liked some aspects of this game, overall I can't really recommend it. It got very repetitive quickly. I did enjoy the options for character customization, and there is a lot of customizing available for the towns you build. However, tending to the little islands you create never gets any faster, so after a while it stops feeling rewarding. If it's on sale and you'd like to give it a go, definitely try it, but I am happy I didn't pay full price for it.
