Grounded
Spring is not only the season when leaves turn green and flowers bloom, it also means that insects are back and you’re suddenly surrounded by bees, butterflies, and some… not so pleasant creatures. In the survival game Grounded, these insects are suddenly more than just a little annoying after you’ve been reduced to the size of an ant and must fight to survive in your own backyard-turned-wilderness.
The creative building system allows you to build cozy hideouts in the grass or elaborate fortresses in the branches. Whether you’re gathering resources, uncovering the secrets of your mysterious predicament, or simply admiring the sun-drenched backyard, Obsidian has created another game that’s fun from start to finish. With its colorful, nature-filled world and balance of challenge and relaxation, Grounded is like stepping into a childhood daydream filled with discovery, teamwork, and the occasional (adorable yet terrifying) bug encounter.
Gardenia
Gardenia is one of the best games for spring with its vibrant colors and the sense of renewal and fresh starts. This charming first-person gardening simulator combines cozy world-building with a lighthearted adventure. You’ll travel to a peaceful island in need of some love and care, and work alongside Wood Grandpa to clean up pollution, plant stunning gardens, and bring life back to the land.
The game is all about exploration, discovery, and creativity. As you restore the island, you’ll uncover hidden treasures, solve a mystery, and even find magical mushrooms that give you access to new areas. The laid-back gameplay lets you craft your own dream garden, meet quirky characters, and shape the island however you like. The lush landscapes, relaxing atmosphere, and feel-good environmental message make Gardenia the ideal game to unwind and embrace the spirit of spring.
Europa
Set on a lush, terraformed version of Jupiter’s moon, Europa invites you to step into the role of Zee, an android searching for answers in the ruins of a lost utopia. One of the aspects of this game that we enjoyed was the sense of movement and freedom. With a gradually upgraded jetpack, you’ll glide effortlessly over rolling meadows, tranquil lakes, and towering cliffs, flowing from boost to boost like a spring breeze.
The world feels vibrant yet peaceful, offering a space to simply breathe and take in the beauty around you. The game’s pastel landscapes, soft lighting, and ambient soundtrack create an atmosphere of quiet reflection, much like a long walk through nature as winter fades. The story—centered on discovery, loss, and humanity’s relationship with nature—unfolds gently, encouraging you to slow down and absorb every detail.
Europa is a short but unforgettable journey, just a few hours long. It’s the perfect game to welcome the changing season, reminding you to embrace exploration, curiosity, and the joy of simply being present.
Forager
Next up on our list of games with spring vibes is Forager. You start the game with almost nothing, just a tiny patch of land, a pickaxe, and a dream. But as you gather resources, craft items, and unlock new skills, your little world expands into a thriving, ever-growing adventure. It’s a game that constantly rewards your curiosity, making you want to explore just one more island, unlock one more blueprint, or solve one more puzzle.
If you love the sense of progression and discovery in games like Stardew Valley or Terraria, Forager will feel like home. It blends farming, crafting, and exploration into an experience that’s both relaxing and addictive. There’s a certain charm to watching your tiny empire grow, whether you’re farming, fighting off enemies, or uncovering hidden secrets. With its bright, colorful pixel art and cheerful atmosphere, Forager exudes the energy of spring—full of life, growth, and endless possibilities.
Neva
The adventure platformer Neva is a stunning work of art that made it onto our list of the best games of 2024. From the creators of GRIS, this stunning action-adventure game follows Alba and her wolf companion as they traverse a breathtaking and heartbreaking world. You’ll witness the seasons change in real-time, mirroring the emotional evolution of their bond. Once fragile and uncertain, the young cub matures into a powerful force, just as spring nurtures life after the cold.
What makes Neva perfect for spring is its blend of beauty and melancholy. The game paints a picture of nature’s resilience, showing that there’s room for hope and rebirth even in a decaying world. The hand-drawn landscapes burst with color and fluid animation, making every step of the journey feel like walking through a painting. Its elegant platforming, simple yet rewarding combat, and emotionally charged storytelling create an unforgettable experience.
Ooblets
If spring were a game, it would be Ooblets. This cozy, quirky blend of farming, town life, and creature collecting is bursting with color, charm, and a touch of the bizarre. You’ll plant crops, befriend eccentric townspeople, and, best of all, raise your own adorable Ooblets, who follow you around like tiny, dancing companions. Yes, dancing, because conflicts are settled with wholesome, funky dance battles instead of fights in this world.
Everything about Ooblets feels like a breath of fresh (spring) air. The vibrant, pastel world is filled with lush greenery, blooming flowers, and an ever-present sense of renewal. You can design your home however you like, from a cozy cottage to a retro-futuristic hideout, all while dressing up your character in fun and wacky outfits. The game never rushes you—there are no time limits, just endless opportunities to explore, collect, and create at your own pace.
Whether you’re planting new crops, collecting rare Gleamy Ooblets, or just wandering around the wonderfully wacky town of Badgetown, Ooblets is pure joy. If you’re looking for a game that feels like spring—full of life, whimsy, and new beginnings—this is it.
Green Hell
Spring means reconnecting with nature for you? How about doing it in one of the most untamed and breathtaking natural environments? The open-world survival game Green Hell throws you right into the Amazon rainforest. It’s an intense, realistic experience where every step is a challenge, and every decision can mean life or death. You play as Jake Higgins, an anthropologist stranded in the jungle while searching for his missing wife.
As you navigate the dense, vibrant world around you, you’ll need to master real-world survival techniques like crafting tools, hunting, foraging, and even dealing with various wounds and illnesses. The depth of the game is impressive; you don’t just “heal up” but treat infections, extract parasites, and manage your mental state as isolation and exhaustion take their toll. The jungle is lush, vibrant, and teeming with life, though not all of it is friendly. If you’re a fan of realistic and intense survival games, this one is a must-play!
Wildmender
Wildmender is a desert gardening survival game that puts you in the middle of a barren wasteland with a tiny spring and a mission: bring life back to the world. As you explore the vast, sand-swept environment, you’ll collect seeds, plant them in your growing oasis, and shape the land itself to direct water where it’s needed. It’s a slow but deeply rewarding process, and watching your garden blossom acre by acre feels like bringing spring to an entire world.
What sets Wildmender apart is its blend of survival mechanics, exploration, and magic. You’ll uncover the secrets of a lost civilization, befriend spirits, and defend your garden from ghosts who want to undo your hard work. The game’s vibrant art, soothing soundtrack, and open-ended creativity make it one of the best spring games around. If you enjoy cozy yet engaging sandbox adventures, Wildmender is a must-play this season.
