About Viridi

✦ AI summary

Grow and nurture a collection of real-time succulents that require actual care and attention, with the risk of dying if you neglect or overwater them. It's a meditative, low-pressure sanctuary you can leave running in the background and check in on whenever you need a moment of peace, with optional cosmetic plant purchases to expand your collection.

Nurture a small pot of succulents that grow in real time.

Viridi is a safe haven, a place you can return to for a moment of peace and quiet whenever you need it.

Leave Viridi open in a second window to keep you company while you work, or check in on your plants as a meditative moment every night. While not fully realistic (they're very forgiving), your succulents will require some maintenance and can die from over- or under-watering. Name your favorite plants, give them special care and attention, and they might even flower for you.

Viridi is free to try and comes with your choice of plant assortments. If you think it has a place in your life, you can buy your favorite plants from the in-game nursery for just a few cents a piece. Remember to visit the nursery occasionally for the weekly free seeding!

✦ AI summary

Viridi is a free-to-play idle game where players grow virtual succulents and find it to be a peaceful, low-stress sanctuary perfect for daily check-ins and relaxation. Players consistently praise the cozy atmosphere, cute plant customization, soothing soundtrack, and forgiving nature of virtual plant care compared to real life, though some note the simplistic plant models and finicky weeding mechanics are minor drawbacks that don't diminish the experience. Since it's free with optional cosmetic purchases, players feel it's worth downloading for anyone seeking a calming desktop companion.

Viridi is a beautiful game. It's calm, peaceful and unique. The game is really simple, you casually open your plant each day, water & take care of them, then watch your plants grow. Nothing fancy, nothing special, but if you appreciate little things like this, it's worth a shot.

cutest thing there ever was

Gameplay, if you can even call it that, is apparently very slow. You'll have to wait multiple days if not over a week for something to happen (simulating real plants, I know). Some seeds for some plants cost real money which is kinda lame for a free to play game. I'd say one would spend their time better by buying a pot, some earth and real plant seeds and actually planting real plants and looking after them.

It's a cute little game about growing plants. The "5 hours played" doesn't properly describe my experience, I've technically played the game for about nine months, 2-3 minutes every few days to water the plants, check for new seedlings, that sort of thing. The purest form of an idle game, one that takes place in true real-time...

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.
