What Steam players say

✦ AI summary

Grove is a free tower defense game with a cozy aesthetic and simple tree-planting mechanics that some find charming, but most players report it feels like an unfinished proof-of-concept with minimal gameplay depth, technical issues, and tedious progression that becomes repetitive after just a few minutes. The core loop lacks staying power, and while the art style has potential, the game's clunkiness, limited content variety, and achievement grind make it difficult to recommend even at no cost.

A fun, easy challenge! The art style and music are lovely. I just wish there were more levels and more tree types. It seems to stop at level 10 and i don't see a way to progress. A really cool concept that has a lot of potential!

Cute little game, but the amount of time needed to unlock all achivments and ingame progression is just radiculous considering lack of any new gameplay after like 5 minutes.

Very cozy game u get 2 plant trees and stuff found it to be really simple and hard to lose. it was cool unlocking upgrades, but I don't think they're worth it? would rather have another tree that generates currency instead of a slightly stronger tree. having the game end after unlocking an upgrade kills the momentum, would rather the game continue while unlocking upgrades as the game becomes progressively harder until it becomes impossible. didn't notice there were achievements until after I got bored with the game, which probably would've added to my enjoyment overall. game is free, chase the achievements if you are into that kind of thing you'll figure out quickly enough if that's something you really want to do

interesting but it is a very small and very janky prrof-of-concept more than an actual game. if you a half hour to kill and don't mind some jank than you could do a whole lot worse

Games like Remember Me, for the memory remix more than the city

Games like Remember Me, picked for the Memory Remix rather than the neon: minds you can break into, a vertical city to climb, and combos you build yourself.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.

Tormented Souls price: a horror game that stopped moving

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.

Control Resonant sale: the price band broke this week

The first Control Resonant sale since launch landed on 2 November. Our 36 readings before it never left an eight per cent band, which says something about waiting.
