Aug 27, 2020Like the internet, video games can be a source of escape from the realities of daily life. Best Friend Forever takes place in a world without social distancing, one where best friends of both varieties (human and canine) are ready to be made.

Sep 10, 2020As far as a dating sim goes, it’s not the worst I’ve seen, and I would go so far as to say the stories of some characters drew me in at times and made me laugh at others, even if some of it was still an eye-rolling level of writing. On the other end, the dog care angle is also enjoyable and raising your furry friend’s stats to make them the best puppo they can be wasn’t a bad time.
