Pine Hearts in IOS

Wholesome hiking adventure

Our Expert Score

93/100

Pine Hearts is an absolute gem of an 'open-world' puzzle game. It reminds me of the best parts of cozy-gaming—emotional storytelling, a vibrant art style, and a sense of discovery that never feels forced. You play as Tyke, exploring a caravan park, but it’s the way the game handles 'metroidvania' style progression through tools and puzzles that really impressed me.

The narrative is surprisingly touching, dealing with memories and family in a way that feels organic to the exploration. Every new tool you find—whether it's for gardening or light engineering—opens up a whole new section of the beautiful park. As a reviewer, I rarely find games that balance 'relaxing' and 'engaging' this perfectly. It’s a warm hug of a game that deserves a spot on every iPhone.
