It is possible to earn free coins when you need it. There are also leaderboard events if you like that sort of thing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Presentation_Review\"><\/span>Presentation\nReview<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Game_Looks_Nice\"><\/span>The\nGame Looks Nice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I am still not a fan of the 3D animations, but they look nice enough in this game. The game area looks great, and I like how the match three pieces and other puzzle elements look. I like the colorful graphics of this game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"I_Like_How_the_Match_Pieces_and_Animations_Look\"><\/span>I\nLike How the Match Pieces and Animations Look<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The game area is somewhat exciting with its explosive powerups and interesting animations.

I like the sounds enough in this game to feel like I am missing something when the game is muted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The music is nice as well. I tend to prefer more action-orientated music than relaxing music, but it works for this game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_This_Game_Get_You_to_Spend_Money\"><\/span>How Does This Game Get You to Spend Money?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Game_Sells_a_Currency\"><\/span>The Game Sells a Currency<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is the usual in-app store here.

This is because the game has thousands of levels, and I guess they can\u2019t have you fix everything on the first day.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But instead of feeling like an epic story, it just feels like real life chores. The game makes you spend stars on the tiniest of tasks. So it feels like you are beating levels to complete a list of chores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Game_Has_Very_Missleading_Ads\"><\/span>The Game Has Very Missleading Ads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So this information is being provided much later, after the review. I feel this information is worth mentioning, as I think people will notice this and wonder what I think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the ads for this game are very misleading. This presents a narrative or story I have never seen any hints of while playing the game. Maybe the story has drastically changed since I played. But I doubt it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These ads follow the trend of seeing characters being abused or failing. I am not sure why this is a fad right now, but it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing I see in most ads for this game or the follow-up game, Homescapes, reminds me of anything I have seen while playing the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_Overall_Thoughts_on_Gardenscapes\"><\/span>My Overall Thoughts on Gardenscapes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gardenscapes looks and sounds great, and it is also somewhat fun to play. But the story is slow-paced and quite boring. I suppose if you can overlook the lack of excitement in the story, you will enjoy the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_Recommend_Gardenscapes\"><\/span>Do I Recommend Gardenscapes?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I suppose if you like match three games and the idea of fixing up a garden interests you will love Gardenscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_I_Play_Gardenscapes_After_Reviewing_It\"><\/span>Will I Play Gardenscapes After Reviewing It?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No, I will not play Gardenscapes anymore. There are too many puzzle games, to spend time in a game I don\u2019t like that much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AndroidGamingFox game review #14 Gardenscapes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3350,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[117],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1871"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1871"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1871\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5676,"href":"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1871\/revisions\/5676"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1871"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
