Calming grass cutting game

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Site Score

82/100

It's Literally Just Mowing is a rare example of a game that delivers exactly what the title promises—and it's surprisingly fantastic. In an industry full of high-stakes combat and complex puzzles, there is something profoundly satisfying about turning tall, messy grass into a perfectly manicured lawn. The haptic feedback on the mower feels great, and the 'zen' atmosphere is bolstered by a complete lack of timers or fail states.

As you progress, you unlock better mowers and fun cosmetic items like butterflies, which gives the game a light collection loop that never feels intrusive. It’s the kind of game you play while listening to a podcast or right before bed. It successfully turns a weekend chore into a meditative digital retreat that looks and sounds beautiful.

Dinsun Review

Dinsun here. In a world of over-complicated games, there's something to be said for honesty. This game is literally just mowing. I’ve spent enough hours doing this for real in my backyard, so I was skeptical, but the virtual version has a weirdly hypnotic quality to it. There’s no pressure. You just go back and forth until the green turns light green.

It’s a bit too simple for its own good, though. Once you’ve mowed five lawns, you’ve mowed them all. The 'upgrades' are mostly cosmetic, and the neighborhoods don't change much. It’s a decent way to kill time while listening to a podcast, but it’s more of a fidget toy than a game. I wish there was a bit more strategy—maybe fuel management or different grass types—but the devs clearly wanted to keep it strictly 'Zen.'
