Botany Manor reviewed by Saniya Ahmed on PC, also available on Xbox and Nintendo Switch.
Clever clues entwine with Botany Manor’s charming old English setting to make a lighthearted first-person puzzler worth tending to. Figuring out how to grow its fantastical plants keeps you on your toes, and the blossoming flora painting onto the pages of your herbarium with bright colors provides a comforting sense of achievement. Deciphering its puzzles was more engaging than reading the notes and letters that make up its fairly one-note story, but the variety of surreal seeds with unique traits in each new area gave an exciting cadence to the somewhat repetitive act of tracking down clues. Botany Manor is a laid-back game that doesn’t ask you to do too much, simply grow some strange plants and decompress – and sometimes that’s exactly what you need.
