Our Site Score

84/100

Rarely does a game title describe its contents so perfectly. It’s Literally Just Mowing+ is exactly that, and it’s wonderful. In an industry filled with high-stress battle royales and complex puzzles, there is something deeply therapeutic about simply turning tall grass into short grass. The tech behind the grass rendering is surprisingly impressive—it’s genuinely satisfying to watch the path you've carved.

There’s no pressure to perform, which makes it the perfect 'before bed' or 'commute' game. The addition of butterfly collecting and mower customization provides just enough of a progression hook to keep you coming back without ever making it feel like work. It’s a polished, beautiful, and profoundly chill experience that proves sometimes less really is more.

Dinsun Review

Dinsun here. As a man who has to mow his own real-life lawn, I’m not entirely sure why I’d want to do it on my phone too. It’s certainly 'satisfying' in that sensory way—watching the grass disappear under your blade is well-done. The haptic feedback is a nice touch. It's the ultimate 'low-stakes' game for when your brain is completely fried.

But let’s be honest: there is no challenge here. There are no stakes. It’s barely a game. It’s more of a fidget toy with a mower skin. The 'customization' is mostly just fluff to keep you clicking. It’s fine for what it is, but 'what it is' is barely anything at all. I’ll stick to my actual lawn; at least that comes with a beer afterwards.
