The doors to Diablo 4 finally flew wide open this past weekend, ahead of the game's release in a couple of months' time, and more than a million people stampeded through.

I'm finding Garden Galaxy torturously difficult to play, in part because it has so few rules. This is a garden designing game at heart. You start with a small patch of tiles and a magical pot.

Maybe a lantern or a little tent. You place these items you get from the pot all around the place, and occasionally you move the tiles themselves around, until you get an arrangement you like. That's the game. That's it.
