Preserve is a masterpiece of minimalist game design. It’s rare to find a game that manages to be this relaxing while still offering a complex, rewarding strategic core. Building out the biomes tile-by-tile feels incredibly tactile, and seeing the first animals migrate to a forest you just created is a genuine 'wow' moment. The hexagonal grid is used brilliantly here, allowing for organic-looking landscapes that are a joy to look at.
The sound design deserves its own award—the gentle ambient tracks and nature sounds create an atmosphere that actually lowered my heart rate. It’s the perfect antidote to the high-stress, high-speed games that dominate the market. Whether you're trying to hit a high biodiversity score in Harmony Mode or just building a beautiful mountain range in Creative Mode, Preserve feels like a warm hug for your brain.

Preserve is a zen-like puzzle game where your goal is to create a flourishing natural world. Using a hexagonal tile system, you build up layers of terrain—from oceans and plains to mountains and forests. Each biome attracts different animals, and you must manage the food chain and habitat requirements to keep them happy. With no combat or timers, Preserve offers a meditative experience focused on the beauty of the natural world.

Place Forest tiles next to Water tiles to create a 'Lush Grove'. This special biome is the only place where the rare Deer species will spawn.
If you have too many predators, the herbivore population will vanish. Ensure you have at least three Grassland tiles for every one Mountain (Predator) tile.
In 'Harmony Mode', you win by reaching a specific biodiversity score. In 'Creative Mode', you can build indefinitely.
