Wait minute, achievements? Ah yes you see Playrix this time around have integrated an achievement system to give the game extra play time. Generally Austin is talkative and agreeable which comes in handy as that is an achievement. He seems happy to have you there unlike the previous game. Austin also seems less passive aggressive than he was in Mansion Makeover thank goodness. Occasionally at the end of every game section Austin will ask you to take a picture to add to the album which is fun to do. What else can be said? Hints are in more plentiful supply than they were in the previous game (thankfully) which includes question marks but also the thermostat, camera flash and even now a magnifying glass. These old photos provide interesting background on the character just don’t expect too much character depth, it’s not that type of game.

In a nice bit of progression you now collect from hidden object scenes album photos of Austin to store. Choosing what type of object from along the bottom to buy never gets old. You are still renovating a garden but there are some interesting touches here and there. You still find items in order for them to be sold for cash so if you ever wanted to sell random objects like a peach or a live rat in a sale then this is the game to do it. The game moves the action from Austin’s house to his parents.

Gardenscapes 2 (2013) acts as a proper sequel to the original and while the gameplay doesn’t drift too far from the previous games there are a number of improvements and extras to keep people playing.

Get the garden back to its former glory, Austin’s parents will be so pleased with the results… The original Gardenscapes (2009) by Playrix Entertainment was a charming if sedate affair.
