The graphics are good.
The music doesn't make me want to bash my head in which is a plus.
This is not really my favorite style of TM game.
There are just so many of these types and they start looking all the same to me.
I personally can't see me buying it for myself, I can't really see me playing it that often.
But if this is your kind of TM game then give the demo a spin.

The sound and graphics were slightly better than its predecessor.
Story-line I can take or leave.
Basically you plop down a house, collect funds, improve it by making it more Eco-friendly. It would be cooler if you actually could choose the types of upgrades.
It is repetitive and I got bored rather quickly.
I'm not buying it.

My main gripe was the waiting... and waiting...
The graphics are pleasing to the eye.
Music pleasant enough.
A lot of clicking. And you really do need to know how to manage your time and stagger your planting.
It can be very difficult to 3 star a level, doable, but challenging.
Not great for a beginner but I would say good for an intermediate to expert player.
I was able to play a good deal of the game in the hour demo, which makes me worry that the game may be short.
I'll keep it on my "may buy it later" list for now.

I found it bright and cheery.
Which is a nice break from the doom and gloom HOs.
(I still like the ones that make me nervous though)
You basically do HOs to get funds to build up aquariums with various themes, buy fish, and keep them happy.
it is cute and my 4 year old enjoyed watching the game-play.
As much as I like Gardenscapes and the rest of the Playrix family, I am not really in a rush to buy this particular game.

It seemed to have a good amount of challenging puzzles and a fair amount of easy ones, based on the demo play.
Sometimes I had fun and sometimes I got annoyed enough to want to shut it off mid demo.
The graphics are decent for this type of puzzling.
Clear and colorful.
Music I could take it or leave it.
The game instructions were a bit iffy, but it doesn't take long to figure out what to do.

I could possibly see myself purchasing it to tease/torture my brain.
I recommend this game!

I would say this is fine for beginners or for those who just want to kill some time.
The visuals were pleasant enough.
The music was okay, after awhile I just tuned it out. You are able to adjust the volume in game.
It is simple enough to play.
Not really fond of the upgrade set up.
I was able to play a good way into the game through the demo.
I probably won't purchase it though, for me the demo was fine, but didn't challenge me enough to want to buy it.

The graphics were fine.
The music got grating after awhile.
The HOs were okay.
The puzzles were so-so, I truthfully skipped a good chunk of them because lacked challenge.
I could have done without the VOs, they were a bit grating and as mentioned in other reviews they still talk on even if you try to skip them, it happened too often for my liking.
As curious as I am to find out how it ends, I'm not inclined to purchase it even as a daily deal.

I don't foresee me purchasing the CE.
The graphics are decent.
Voice work is fine if you ignore the fact that you are a male character with a very female voice.
Plus I miss the voice being synced up with the characters.
The storyline is okay.
The HOs are okay and the mini-games are about half and half on the challenge meter for me.
I will most likely give it another go when the SE is available.
It lacked the excitement the previous Grim Facade games held for me... I don't feel the urgency to to where the story goes... I won't be purchasing the CE.

I like TM games, although this is not really my favorite style, I would be happy to add this to my collection.
The colors are bright and clear.
The music is pleasant enough.
No VOs which is a plus, since this type of game really doesn't need it.
You have a choice of characters to switch back in forth between as you progress, because certain tasks demand you to switch.
You are able to level up your character, to better their performance with little perks.
There are also alternate levels that can be unlocked.
It is timed and I have found it challenging to get gold and silver stars for the level.
You can still play to the end of the level even if the timer runs out.
You even get a little bit of crafting, though not really that part I found to be less engaging as the actual game play itself.

Overall I like it well enough to purchase. And would recommend giving the demo a whirl and I would most likely recommend purchasing, but definitely do the demo first.
I recommend this game!

I am a HUGE fan of these type of games (Love Chocolatier and its sequels). And I don't see the problem with it being dinnerware (people collect it just like any other thing).
So I really wanted to like it.
The graphics while not as nice as the previously mentioned game are not that bad.
The music is pleasant enough.
You can adjust the music and sound volumes.

My problem would be that I found it boring. I don't doubt that the difficulty level will steadily get more difficult, but if I fall asleep before getting there I will never know if it was worth plowing through its tedious repetition.
I personally don't want to buy it and can not recommend purchasing it. But if you got an hour to kill try the demo and decide for yourself if it was really worth the loss of an hour of your day.
I don't recommend this game.
