Leaf it Alone

Wonderful relaxing little game. Was very satisfying to play. If it was longer and maybe had a prestige/loop aspect to it, this honestly might have been my fav new game I've played this year.

I really wanted to love Leaf it Alone, watching Jacksepticeye play it on a recent YouTube video and because the core idea is perfect for a cozy game, I had looked into it before and landed on getting it now. It does get very relaxing the more you play, picking up leaves, upgrading your tools, and slowly clearing everything out feels pretty satisfying. But that relaxation gets cut short way too soon. I finished it in under 2 hours, got most of the achievements and 100% clean-up done, and honestly it never quite reached the level of chill/relaxation I was hoping for. I expected a bit more content, especially since the first (and only) location is decent but not huge. If the whole thing had taken twice as long or roughly 4-6 hours, I probably wouldn’t have been as bummed about it ending. The price does reflect that it’s a short experience, and it’s cool the devs are working already adding new maps. I just wish there was more to enjoy right now. It’s still a nice, relaxing little game if you’re looking for something quick and low-pressure, but it left me wanting more by the time the credits rolled. I’ll check back out when the new locations drop.

Short and sweet game that scratches the same itch for me as Power Wash Sim.
