Is The Greenening worth it in 2026?
Yes — player reception is very positive: 97% of 433 Steam reviews are positive (player score 97/100). Most-praised strength: Tiny loops that hook instantly. Current price: 3,99€ (20% off).
Verdict
The Greenening wraps you in a warm, pixelated hug—plenty of substance to sink ten happy hours into. Just don’t expect pixel-perfect smoothness at every moment.
