Studio Drydock’s Wylde Flowers has taken out a major accolade at Apple’s App Store Awards for 2022, winning Apple Arcade Game of the Year against a host of strong rivals. The game has been celebrated for its inclusivity, charming world, and diverse characters, which all contribute to a wonderful, narrative-based farming sim that certainly warrants praise.
It’s always great to see Australian-made games celebrated on a global stage, particularly when they’re as deserving as Wylde Flowers. In our review of Wylde Flowers, we called it the ‘perfect escapism for a busy world’ – a game that prioritises freedom, wholesomeness, and adventure within an impactful tale of prejudice and fear.
The game was clearly developed with a warm and welcoming touch, and its win at the Apple App Store Awards is well-earned. It joins a stellar cast of winners for the year that includes mainstream hits like Apex Legends Mobile, and unique gems like Inscryption.
