Meh – Homescapes Review

It’s hard to believe this came after Gardenscapes because it lacks all of the elements that make Gardenscapes fun. The levels are so obviously throttled based on whether one has paid for extra coins that it’s not even disguised. The tasks that require stars is even more boring than the most boring ones from Gardenscapes. And most of all: it all adds up to a slow, arduous, boring story. It’s the story of a GenX’er who is stuck caring for his Boomer parents and we players - regardless of demographics- foot the bill and the work. I gave it a lot of time, as I moved into my second house recently and I liked the initial parallels, but come on, let’s call it what it is: a cash grab based on boredom.
