Bunhouse

I enjoyed the basic mechanics and the simple gameplay. However, Bunhouse has a limited appeal. Disappointingly, there wasn’t enough depth to keep me going for longer. Additionally, the lack of guidance or quests ensured that my interest waned long before it should. However, I appreciate that I’m not its key demographic. Subsequently, I know that this will appeal to a host of sim-loving gamers. As such, though it wasn’t for me, I still recommend buying it here! Hop around, plant some seeds, and grow as many plants as you wish.

Playing Bunhouse will help you relax but there isn't much to hang on to as you hop around performing daily chores and doing yoga.

There's a lot of heart in this adorable game, but it's the execution that holds it back. With clunky controls and hard-to-read text, it can often be more frustrating than relaxing.

Bunhouse is a videogame with a great concept that really lets you slow down. Every task in this game you'll set for yourself.

When you start with BunHouse, I can imagine someone looking for action and entertainment being disappointed. However, this is just my cup of tea: a management game about a topic that I love. This is the first game I ever played that actually feels as if you’re really gardening. When I have the bunny sell the plants, you see the root system and it fits with the actual way a plant’s root system looks. For example, one of the Forget-me-not is an actual clump, straining for a bigger pot. This tells me that Patrick Gauthier really paid attention to his plant knowledge. BunHouse is a great management strategy game, that is cute at the same time. It’s coming to the Switch as well which is great news, as it works well in handheld. For how it performs on the Steam Deck, and the game itself, I can only give it one verdict.

Like many others, gaming is the perfect form of escapism for me. Somewhere you can go to forget about real life and fully immerse yourself in a new world. But, it’s not all the time you want to be shooting bad guys, solving mind-bending puzzles or following an emotional narrative. Sometimes, you want something wholesome, and what could be more wholesome than a rabbit running its own greenhouse?

Bunhouse is meditative and sweet. It's the kind of game that you can boot up and play for a couple of minutes or hours, depending on how much you need to de-stress, and in so many ways it parallels the joy of having actual rabbits as pets. They might not be the loudest or most boisterous buddies, but their stoic warmth fills the home with wholesome goodness. Ultimately, rabbits are wonderful, and Bunhouse does them justice.
