I had a great time with Strange Horticulture. Solving all the puzzles was satisfying and It was just the right length to not overstay its welcome. I loved finding all the new weird plants and organizing them on my shelves. I do think it had some misteps though. Some of the puzzles felt a little bit too vague and making me wait to refill my exploration meter was a bit tedious. I see how it was done to help the pace of the game but also sometimes the only thing i had left in a day was to solve a map puzzle and waiting was tedious. The elixir mechanic also felt underutilized.

Game Highlight: the mood was absolutely on point. I loved the cozy greenhouse and dark color palate they chose. Also it was very funny when being bad at my retail job caused my mind to shatter.
