Scrap Garden

Quite an interesting and funny game. I didn't even expect that I would like her so much...
Going through Scrap Garden is a breeze. It's fun to play on a gamepad. And it’s really great when the game doesn’t get boring and doesn’t become boring... Honestly, it’s a little unfortunate that I finished this game so quickly..
P.S. By the way, for complete relaxation, I advise you to play exclusively on a gamepad;)

Not bad for free
It's easy and fun enough, with some odd gameplay choices.
Not worth £7.19
Maybe £3 at the most.

Very fun 3D Platformer with an interesting story. Really enjoyed the puzzles as some of them are reminiscent of Half-Life 2. A few parts are kind of janky control wise but for an older game I had fun!

Great atmosphere
Chill gameplay
Nice music
Good game if you want a short, quick comfy platformer

Nice game with a great atmosphere, it feels like the game has a soul and I like that.

A compact platformer
Story
Scrap Garden tells the story of the robot Canny finding out why all the other robots are turned off and how to solve it. Its nothing even remotely close of revolutionary, but it doesnt need to. It's charming, simple and perfect for its target audience.
Gameplay
An adventure game that is mostly platforming, some puzzle solving and a few time sensitive sequences. It's simple but it works for what the game intends to do, the puzzles could be a little harder, and the time sequences help keeping things fresh. The enemy roster is small and is mostly composed of reskinned enemies. It's slightly reminiscent of the platformers of the past. Collect gems, solve the local issue, use gems to go to the next level. Haven't encountered many bugs, but it is very clear that this is a small indie project made by 2 guys so keep your expectations accordingly.
Visual design
Once again, simple, but colorful. Not much to say here but i do wish the enemy models were in higher resolution and moved more naturally.
Sound design
Soundstracks are decent, nothing extraordinary, but my main critique is how jarring the switch between soundtracks is. The voice acting also ranges from accetpable to downright atrocious.
Overall
I struggle to reccomend this game cause even though i got it for free, the price could be a little lower and there's not much substance behind what you are seeing, but i can't deny that the game itself is a decent pick for kids and for anyone wanting a chill, short and comfy platformer for a couple hours. 5/10.

Quick Review
"Scrap Garden" is a simple adventure game that works nicely in every aspect but doesn't shine in anything in particular. A good and clear story with some simple platforming mechanics and a little bit of exploration if you want to find collectibles.
(Playthrough/Gameplay of the game)
If this quick review isn't useful to you maybe the following "extended version" could help ^^
The good
Simple and easy to get into gameplay mechanics
The story of the game it's actually interesting.
The bad
The combat system it's quite "meh" when it comes to regular enemies.
The "minecart" and "quick time event" sections are quite unresponsve when it comes to the controls and how they feel.
Things that might help you decide
Low-spec friendly game.
Short game (Around 1.5h-2h)
Don't expect AAA visuals and a really polished game sometimes it can feel rough around the edges.
Final recommendation / Price evaluation
The game it's actually fun and enjoyable if you know what you are getting into (I recommend you to check a gameplay to see a bit of it), the game does everything well and it's easy to get into it in case you want to beat it in a single session since it is short. The onyl thing wrong here it's the price in my opinion, for 3 to 5€ I think it's a good purchase if it has caught your attention.
