Clean video games the new craze?

With the rising popularity of Ubisoft’s Grow Home and its recent release to the PS4, it seems that the door has been opened to a new crop of video games.  

These games are unlike any of the other games that feature world destruction and a complete disregard for the environment. These games are eco-friendly.

Grow Home focuses on a Botanical Utility Droid in search of an alien plant that can oxygenate his home planet. Lush backgrounds and exotic floating islands are what you’ll find in this game.

The Path to Luma is a new mobile game that follows SAM (Sustainability Augmentation Model) as he tries to save the galaxy and the Chroma civilization. This mind game uses puzzles to help SAM unlock the sources of clean energy hidden in the planets he explores.

If this trend continues, it could raise more awareness about the dangers of climate change and importance of a healthy, clean environment.

What do you think of these environmentally friendly games? Will they catch on making gamers more environmentally aware or will their fascination quickly fade?
