    A cheery-looking game world but lousy, sleep-inducing gameplay.
  2. The underlying gameplay, which basically consists of herding animals, just isn't enough to prop up the game in its current form.
  3. An exercise in boredom and frustration.

Basically the game concert shift between 30 frames a second and 60 frames a second all the time so unbearable to look at that I had to stop before getting headaches.This is sad because I think I would enjoy the game but a technical issues. It's just too big. Full Review »

    A great game! Lots of fun to play and beautiful to look at. I can't believe some of the bad reviews I read before I picked it up, and A great game! Lots of fun to play and beautiful to look at. I can't believe some of the bad reviews I read before I picked it up, and I'm so glad I bought it anyway. The only flaw I've found with this game, technically, is the camera. It can be a little willful. But, after upwards of 30 hours of playing, it hasn't really been a problem. A lot of the negative reviews seemed like they were coming from people who just didn't enjoy the gameplay, as a matter of personal interest, since I haven't encountered issues with any of the things mentioned (framerate, AI, character glitches, level and task layout), except, of course, for a wily camera. I hope people look past these bad reviews and check out Herdy Gerdy for themselves. It would be a shame to miss such a wonderful game because of someone elses opinion on it. Happy herding!
