PLANETRA 2: GOLDEN ACORN review: a cute clicker game that will intensify your hate for cow-stealing aliens

Today we are taking a look at Plantera 2: Golden Acorn, a soon-to-be-released game that's been generating a lot of buzz among clicker fans and fans of the first installment. This title has piqued the interest of many players due to its unique take on the clicker game genre and cute graphics. So, what's the big deal about? Read it right here!

Cute Graphics and Style

The graphics in Plantera 2: Golden Acorn are what immediately catch the eye. The game distinguishes itself from other clicker games with its endearing and adorable art style.

The game is visually appealing thanks to the well-done plant and animal animations. The graphics do have one minor flaw, though, and that is the absence of graphic settings. On larger monitors, the game struggles with slight resolution issues that give the impression that it was directly ported from Windows XP.

Addictive Gameplay

Plantera 2: Golden Acorn is a game that is difficult to put down once you get started. The game's mechanics are simple, but watching your personal little (or big.) garden grow and prosper is addictive.

Planting various types of vegetables, fruits, bushes, trees, and keeping animals on your land to grow produce that you can collect for those sweet golden coins that make Mario jealous. When you think about it, it's actually quite simple. The game's simplicity, however, does not take away from its enjoyment.

Surprising Depth

I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of Planters 2: Golden Acorn as I played through it. The premise of the game is simple: plant and grow crops to earn coins and expand your garden. However, as I continued to play, I discovered that there were a variety of crops, trees, bushes, and animals to choose from. It was fascinating to watch my little garden grow and change over time.

however

However, as I progressed through the game and unlocked more and more items, I couldn't help but be disappointed by the final selection. Don't get me wrong, there are still plenty of items to choose from, but it appears that the game's variety peaks around the middle. When you reach a certain point in the game and can afford all of the items, the game loses some of its appeal because there is no longer the thrill of discovering new items to add to your garden.

Good Replayability:

Although Plantera 2: Golden Acorn is rather brief, there is some replayability. The game's design makes it very simple to put down and pick up at any other time. It's oddly relaxing but also slightly stressful due to the little critters, and it can satisfy your need for some basic gaming for 10 minutes or for two hours straight.

It won't be a game you play every day, but it will undoubtedly be one you return to over time.

User-Friendly Interface

The game's interface is simple and user-friendly, making it easy to understand and play. The small question marks on each item ensure that you are never confused or lost in the game. The game's mechanics are well explained, and it's simple to pick up and play in no time.

speed

Plantera 2: Golden Acorn's progression speed is perfectly balanced. You never feel stuck on a level for too long, which is essential in a clicker game. Each level is short and sweet, providing a dopamine rush of accomplishment with each level up. And the best part? Every level gain grants you new items to place in your garden, keeping the game fresh and exciting.

What's great about the progression is that it's not just about unlocking new items. As you progress, new critters will appear, adding a fun challenge to the game. You'll need to plan ahead of time to prevent them from stealing your produce. It's a welcome change from just planting and collecting.

Challenging Critters

While we are on the topic: These critters that appear and try to steal your harvest are one of the exciting aspects of Plantera 2: Golden Acorn. They can be annoying at times, but they add a fun little challenge to the game and keep you on your toes. The UFO is a particularly frustrating foe, but the critters add to the overall enjoyment of the game and ensure that it isn't just a generic clicker game that almost makes you fall asleep.

Conclusion

Even if you don't usually play clicker games, I highly recommend Plantera 2: Golden Acorn. It's a well-crafted and enjoyable game that's difficult to put down once you get started. It is not without flaws, however, and it could benefit from more graphic settings and a longer playtime.

Overall, I'd rate Plantera 2: Golden Acorn an 8.6 out of 10 because of its addictive gameplay, charming graphics, and perfect progression speed.

We at NLM received a key for the game for free; however, this hasn’t affected our opinion in any way.
