“10/10 personally, the story dragged me in.”
“The story was beautiful, the artwork was even better, the music was calming, and I could get lost in it for hours on end.”
“The story is cute and I like the idea of restoring a world and creating towns/houses for NPCs to move in.”
“The story reveal is mostly predictable from the start of the game, so you must really like the core loop of either too-easy town management or gardening -- this is important!”
“You can get to the end of the main 'story' sure but the gameplay progression is just not there and the actual impact of that story is negligible to non-existent.”
“The story is dumbed down to the point that I had figured out the entire thing way before the story had even properly begun, and I was disappointed to find nothing that exceeded my expectations.”
Grow: Song of the Evertree review
Grow: Song of the Evertree is a game full of charm, and will be a relaxing world-builder for some, but a repetitive experience for others.

Without a doubt Grow: Song of the Evertree took on board what worked and what did not work so well in Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles and produced an engaging, time consuming game that is hard to put down with virtually no issues aside from occasional weird camera angles. It was not possible to finish the main story for this review because of how long it takes to complete each section, but there are dozens of hours to be spent creating new realms to explore and harvest from, creating settlements that are eye-catching and meet all residents' needs, with few issues that make it an epic title in its own right on Nintendo Switch.
