Description

I’ve been playing The Gardens Between for a couple months now. It’s basically an adventure-puzzle game where you follow two best friends, Arina and Frendt, as they explore these vibrant, dreamlike island gardens. The whole thing’s got a really chill, relaxing vibe to it.

Here’s what you do: you manipulate time to solve little puzzles and make your way to the top of each garden. There’s also this cool mechanic where you can light up constellations and uncover the friends’ memories together. Feels like a nice way to explore their relationship and the significance of their friendship.

Look, if you’re into thoughtful, narrative-driven puzzle games, you’ll probably enjoy this. It’s not the most challenging game out there, but it’s a nice change of pace from the high-intensity stuff. Definitely worth checking out if you want something relaxing and a little bittersweet.

Editor Opinion

The Gardens Between is a pretty solid little puzzle game that I've been really enjoying. In my experience, the time-manipulation mechanics work well and the whole experience has a pretty calming, meditative vibe to it. And the visuals are great and it's cool how you uncover the friendship story as you progress. That said, it can get a little repetitive and predictable after a while. But overall, I'd say it's a nice change of pace from more frenetic puzzle/adventure games.
