My Tamagotchi Forever vs Viridi
My Tamagotchi Forever
My Tamagotchi Forever is a virtual pet game from Bandai Namco that dates back 20 years. Bringing back the joy of keeping an adorable virtual pet on a device that you can carry around with you, this game is set to evoke the same feelings albeit with superior graphics, a wider variety of Tamagotchis to raise, and tons of cute customizations you can apply to your little pet.Taking care of your virtual pet has always been the highlight of the game, and it is no different in this game. To ensure the well-being of your virtual pet, you'll be expected to feed it, give it baths, and even play mini-games with it. You can try tickling it as well! Depending on the care you provide, your Tamagotchi may eventually evolve into very different forms and you may never know what your Tamagotchi may turn into next!
There's also a quaint little town called Tamatown where your Tamagotchi can meet and make friends with the many other game characters. Make memories with them and collect your photos into your album. You can even decorate the town with a variety of colorful items.
My Tamagotchi Forever may prey on your 90s nostalgia but it is done in a good way. After all, we finally got a free-to-play version of Tamagotchi after a 20-year "hiatus"!
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.
