Urban Jungle
Critic Reviews for Urban Jungle
If you are someone who enjoys relaxing puzzle games, who loves plants or just enjoys decorating cute spaces, Urban Jungle is a real gem. Its gameplay is simple and charming, yet still keeps you engaged. The story and character development are fun to follow, the visuals are adorable, and the vibes are just there. Plus, you can pet a cute orange cat! What more could you want? Since I am unable to give the game a “Green Thumb” Award, Urban Jungle will instead receive the Thumb Culture Gold Award.
Urban Jungle charms with its relaxing botanical decor, simple gameplay, and beautiful visual style. It's perfect for unwinding, although its story could have been more fleshed out.

Urban Jungle is a lot of fun to play and has many great points. I really enjoyed my time with it, and I look forward to seeing what this developer decides to work on next; I’m definitely a fan of what they have going on in this game! Overall, I really like it, and I think most cozy game lovers will think the same.
Overall, Urban Jungle brilliantly combines simulation and storytelling, offering a calming escape for players. With its engaging mechanics and colorful environments, the game may just showcase a love for plants and nature and show off the subtle yet complex dynamics between the characters. It's still well worth the four hours of playing, although the soundtrack can be a little repetitive.
Urban Jungle puts a new spin on the familiar cozy game genre. Its charming narrative, a new take on the standard gardening simulator, and simple but entertaining gameplay inspire players to think strategically and creatively.
I truly enjoyed Urban Jungle. I played it through twice in two days. To explore every nook and cranny of what this game had to offer took me 3 hours and there is a lot of replayability. Although the levels don’t change, the plant availability that you are served each “round” changes creating different placement scenarios.
This is a game that understands the quiet joy of creating a space that feels like home. It speaks to the experience of those who have ever had their passions dismissed as “just a hobby” and finds beauty in the act of carving out a place for yourself, even when others don’t understand why. The plant placement mechanics are satisfying, the aesthetic is charming, and the game exudes a warmth that makes it easy to sink into.
Urban Jungle is interesting and happens to be one of the better organizational games like Unpacking that I’ve played.
