![]() I immediately went to try Barn Yarn and fell in love with the cute, wholesome gameplay that put a twist on the traditional hidden object game. Nothing is unfairly hidden in the hidden object scenes, and there are just enough extras in the collector’s edition to make it worth a look.I have been looking forward to playing a Gardenscapes game since I read Tracy’s review of Barn Yarn last month. Playrix is hardly flogging the series’ name to death, though, as this is only the third game in almost five years, so it’s not like the formula has run its course.Įasy to get into and even easier to fall for, Gardenscapes 2 is a lighthearted mixture of item finding and time management set in a pleasant world filled sunshine and chirping birds. The basic structure is the same and the challenges are very similar. The only point against Gardenscapes 2 is that it shares a little too much with its predecessors. There are a lot of little touches that round out the presentation, such as swaying pots inside the house or butterflies floating across the garden. Everything is bright and sunny and cheerful, which is always a welcome change from the dark themes of most hidden object games. Visually, Gardenscapes 2 is a pretty stunning experience. It’s just enough to break up the sale-garden-sale pattern, and it also gives you a bit of insight into Austin’s oddball relatives.

The faster you find the item the better tip you’ll get, and as soon as one customer makes his or her purchase a new one hops in to take their place. Customers won’t wait around forever and gradually lose patience over time. You’d be surprised how in-demand an old pair of boots and a dusty mug are to these “collectors”.Ĭustomers appear on the side of the screen during hidden object scenes, each asking for a particular item. Your job is to help Austin and his family by inviting the neighborhood into different parts of the house to sell off some of his parents’ junk. ![]() The game flops back and forth between hidden object scenes, which have a slight time management feel to them, and garden decorating. It’s hard to argue with success, though, and the latest release is as good looking and addictive as ever. The format of Gardenscapes 2 is largely the same as previous games in the series, Gardenscapes: Mansion Makeover and the original Gardenscapes. ![]() All you need is a little cash, which is easy to obtain by selling some of his parent’s things in a series of hidden object-style yard sales!
