Gardenscapes vs Viridi
Gardenscapes
Gardenscapes is a unique and incredibly fun hidden object/simulation game where you play as the heir-apparent of your grandfather's mansion, which so happen to be attached to a massive garden. However, the garden is rather rundown due to years of neglect and it is now up to you to restore it to its former glory. Play a wide variety of hidden object games with varying and challenging scene modes to earn enough cash to begin the restoration process. If you have some extra cash in hand, you can decorate the garden as you please too!Gardenscapes is developed by the same developer as Farmscapes and as such,you can definitely expect many similarities between these two games, but this doesn't mean that they are not fun... it's actually the opposite - they are both very enjoyable games to play. In fact, we'd go as far as to say that if you've enjoyed Farmscapes, you'll love Gardenscapes, and vice versa.
Viridi
Viridi has been hailed as one of the most relaxing game on Steam, though the game is now available on both Android and iOS now as well. How can you relax by playing this game? Well, Viridi is basically a plant simulator; a safe haven where you can patiently take care of a large pot of plants that are often arranged decoratively to resemble something you might see in a terrarium. The game is not intended to be played in long periods of time. Just like a real life plant, you simply need to check in once a day or so, water and maybe fertilize it, and leave it to grow at its own pace. If you do a good job of caring for your plant, it might even flower for you (as long as it's a flowering plant)!Viridi is a limited free-to-play game which makes it more of a free-to-try. There are some free plants you can play around with for free, but if you want to really get into the game, there is an assortment of different plants in the in-game nursery that you can buy with real money. You can also get a free seedling every week.
