75 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics look very good with bright colors and plant and animal models that are simplified but still look great and by the end of the game after placing all the elements I like to take a good look at the mini world I created and how it looks alive and flourishing.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This is a super fun tile puzzler, with just the right amount of difficulty and game length to skirt that line between mindless and frustrating.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combined with a soothing soundtrack and gentle pacing, Preserve delivers an atmosphere that encourages relaxation without sacrificing engagement.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Out of the box, the game is also Steam Deck friendly, however, it may need some touch UI optimizations as the controller is the only supported input for now and many users could expect to move the cards over to the island.
