Only game for me!

I started playing Gardenscapes in 2017 and it’s the only game that I’ve stuck with since then. I often try out new games, but after a while it just doesn’t engage me anymore and I stop. Gardenscapes has been the only exception so far. It’s my go to for relaxation after a busy work day, but also continues to engage me - I have never been bored. The levels are a good balance of easier and really challenging. I love the characters, the visuals are good and the storylines excellent. I especially like the short adventures that are extra from time to time. Thank you. I’ll be playing for many years to come.

Higher levels are Expensive and unfair

If you spend money to buy boosters, how is that a reward?Once you start buying be careful as this excludes vat and when you get your bill, it will be higher than what you’re buying for. Even the difficult levels algorithms are such that you eventually have to spend money with less moves. This seems rigged. Even the boosters are not guaranteed, just like gambling. It starts to feel like gambling once addicted and you start to spend your money. So try to each level without spending money. It does take a while longer, but at least you save a whole lot o money that is required especially now. As for Austin’s irritating clap at the end.....it’s annoying.The graphics are good and candy crush appeal is there initially, with lovely gardens, however the higher levels are just for money making 😕 so be carful, you loose a lot of money very quickly once you start “investing” in your gardens. I tested this out and like the other gardeners indicated....it’s fun but expensive and unfair.

Entertaining game

I enjoy this game, although I do feel like a lot of the levels are unnecessarily difficult, tempting one to spend real money just to get past them. I also think all the mini games should have a star as part of the reward and there should be more of these mini games for variety. Adding: there should be occasions when players can assist others to pass levels (like I’ve seen in HomeScapes). And more full lives to start. And more frequent bonuses.

Fun at first, but the “randomness” is rigged

I’ve been playing for a while and there’s something players should know: the boards in this game are not truly random. The developers clearly adjust difficulty based on your win streaks and whether you have boosters.•Standard levels often feel harder than the ones marked “hard” or “super hard.”•The game feeds useless pieces for several moves, then magically creates combos after you’ve lost, making you feel like “one more try” will do it.•If you stockpile boosters, the game throws tougher boards at you — until you spend them.•Win streak bonuses are bait: you’ll often lose by just one move, nudging you to pay to keep the streak alive.This isn’t about skill or luck. It’s about frustration cycles designed to push microtransactions. After a few losses, the game will hand you a “lucky” board with cascades everywhere — not to be kind, but to keep you hooked.The graphics and design are nice, but don’t fool yourself: you’re not solving fair puzzles, you’re playing against an algorithm tuned to make you spend.If you decide to play, enjoy it casually, but set a hard spending limit. Otherwise, you’ll be caught in a loop that’s less about fun and more about money.
