Abstract: Objective Reviewing the application of serious games in the field of landscape architecture heritage and discussing the advantages, limitations and future prospects thereof is of great significance for the digital conservation of landscape architecture heritage.Methods For different types of serious games with respect to landscape architecture heritage, this research discusses their characteristics and contents in the form of case study, and further points out their development trends and application scenarios.Results Serious games have been widely used and explored in the field of landscape architecture heritage, which benefits from the fact that the development of digital technology provides users with more immersive and realistic gaming experience and further improves the credibility of games. Nowadays, serious games have been applied in museums, providing a new approach to the digitization of landscape architecture heritage.Conclusion Currently, serious games are mainly applied in the field of cultural heritage of landscape architecture, while relatively less applied in the field of natural heritage. Some serious games still lack a scientific structural framework and fail to ful y demonstrate the ideological connotation of cultural heritage. However, with the increasing maturity of digitalization and gamification methods, serious games will create more possibilities for the research on landscape architecture heritage.
