The Gardens Between
SCORE: 66
Family Friendly Gaming was provided a
digital download code for The Gardens Between on the Playstation 4. This
downloadable only puzzle game is also available on the Personal Computer
and Nintendo Switch. The Gardens Between is one of the strangest puzzle
games I have ever played in my entire life. More will come on that in
just a moment.
We play two boys in The Gardens Between at the same time. One boy
follows the other boy. They pick up light orbs and deposit them in
places. Then we get stuck and must rewind time and do something
different. We can get new light orbs to find a better way past the dark
plants the eat the light orbs. Sometimes it is about avoiding them, and
other times it is about getting a second light orb.
Graphically The Gardens Between is very indie looking. I would also
describe the graphics as a bit bland. There is no talking in The Gardens
Between. The music is okay. Being able to rewind and accelerate time was
interesting. I know that feature has been done in numerous other video
games across the history of the industry. It is a key element to The
Gardens Between.
The Gardens Between confused me at times, and it made me think other
times. There are cool retro objects in The Gardens Between. That is if
you take time to pay attention to your surroundings in The Gardens
Between. I spent more time on the puzzles. I had a spotter notice them
and point them out to me after the fact. There is a very specific
audience for The Gardens Between.
Are you part of that audience? Do you things like art galleries? Do you
enjoy experiences that are more artsy? If you answered yes to those
questions then you might enjoy this 3.22 gigs download. Make sure you
system has enough space on it, and your Internet provider will let you
download such a large game. I like puzzle games. I did not feel The
Gardens Between was for me though.
