  • The game is simple, enjoyable, and relaxing, making it suitable for short bursts of play.
  • Levels are generally well balanced and provide a decent challenge for time management enthusiasts.
  • Some players appreciate the art style and find the time management mechanics fun and engaging.
  • The game is criticized for being a shallow mobile app with minimal gameplay and a lack of depth.
  • Technical issues such as constant crashes and poor graphics quality detract from the overall experience.
  • Many players feel the game is overpriced and not worth the cost compared to higher quality alternatives available on Steam.
  • graphics
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have been widely criticized for their lack of resolution options and minimal customization, resulting in a simplistic, cartoonish 2D style typical of low-effort mobile apps. Many reviewers noted that the 3D graphics appear poorly executed, leading to visual strain and failing to meet the expectations of PC gamers accustomed to higher-quality visuals. While some appreciated the art style, the overall consensus is that the graphics do not reflect the skill or investment expected in a modern PC game.

    • “Also, I really enjoy the art style they used.”
    • “3D graphics programming does require a degree of skill and competence, and unfortunately not all developers have the budget or talent to deliver this, despite 3D graphics cards hitting the mainstream in the 1990s.”
    • “There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
    • “The mobile app features simple, cartoony 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low-effort mobile apps.”
    • “Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”
  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has been criticized for being overly simplistic, primarily involving just tapping on the screen, which many feel is a significant downgrade from the original game. Players have also noted that the promised gameplay duration is misleading, with most completing the game in under 10 hours, far less than the advertised 20 hours. Overall, the changes in mechanics are seen as minor and not enough to justify the higher price point.

    • “There's no gameplay, just tapping on the screen.”
    • “"Over 20 hours of exciting gameplay" is a straight-up lie; I 100%ed it in 5 hours, and even if you're unusually bad at time management games, I can't imagine it taking more than 10.”
    • “"Over 20 hours of exciting gameplay" is a straight-up lie; I 100%ed it in 5 hours, and even if you're unusually bad at time management games, I can't imagine it taking more than 10.”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in "Gnomes Garden: Christmas Story" is considered minimal and lacks depth, with players describing it as merely acceptable. Overall, it does not significantly enhance the gameplay experience.

    • “Barely a story.”
    • “Has an okay story and an okay level of difficulties.”
  • monetization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization of "Lost Artifacts: Golden Island" has been criticized as a cash grab, with a price point of around $5 USD deemed excessive for a product that is perceived as low-quality and a poor port of a mobile game. Reviewers highlight the availability of superior free games on Steam, making the purchase feel unjustifiable.

    • “Lost Artifacts: Golden Island is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile developers and Russian asset flip copy-paste shovelware game pushers at 8Floor.”
    • “Lost Artifacts: Golden Island has the greedy, cash grab price of around $5 USD. It's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music and sound design in the game are generally considered average, lacking any standout qualities or memorable elements.

    • “The music and sounds are just okay, nothing special.”
