Seed of Life

Seed of Life had a ton of potential and surprised me in so many ways for what just two developers came together to create. The foundation of the story was interesting, and the world was truly stunning to walk through, but it unfortunately just couldn't grab hold of me and fell apart when it came to gameplay. It has been a year since the game was released, and I would be seriously interested in seeing what MadLight developers have been working on in the meantime. I genuinely hope that the negative reviews haven't pushed them away from making games, because, despite Seed of Life's hiccups, they have a tremendous amount of talent. While it wasn't the game for me, you can certainly try out Seed of Life on Steam for yourself, and you might even luck up and catch it on sale.

The interesting concept in a pleasing graphic jacket is not, unfortunately, reaching its full potential. A clever design is damaged by technical problems and the puzzles deserve a better balance of difficulty. Even so, the journey to save the planet is a pleasant experience.

Fans of platformers might find Seed of Life to be a smidge more fun than puzzle game fanatics, but the overall experience in this beautiful, dying world is worth the time and price point, especially as a relatively short game that can be completed over a lazy weekend. Much like Cora's quest, the seeds of this game are high quality, and with some fine tuning and care, Seed of Life could blossom into something incredible.
