    This is another gentle, feel-good indie release that provides a most enjoyable alternative to blasting people or taking in a high definition sports match.

    The idea was making something different, and they have indeed made so. It's one of those games that deserves a try, even though the concept should have been polished to avoid repetitiveness.

    Humorous, innovative and brave. This is Doki-Doki Universe, a digital download experiment for Playstation users who like new and irreverent games.

    It’s a fun and fascinating game even if it isn’t especially memorable. Bugs notwithstanding, it’s a tough game not to be at least swooned by. It managed to get a number of laughs and awws out of me more often than the groans.

    Doki Doki Universe is enjoyable for the first hour. After that, it becomes unbearably repetitive.

    Doki-Doki Universe is a really particular indie game that tries to offer something new and unique, but is stopped by the lack of depth of its gameplay mechanics.

    While I applaud the attempt at breaking new ground and enjoyed the imaginative presentation, Doki-Doki Universe ultimately misses the mark when it comes to engaging gameplay.

    A charming adventure/ puzzle game that suffers from the "DLC syndrome", repetition and some major bugs.

    As feel-good as Doki-Doki Universe is, there’s not much going on under the surface.

    A broken game with a repetitive mechanic.

I really wanted to give this game a good score. I really did. I was originally planning to give this game an 8, for sheer creativity. However, sheer creativity does not excuse some of the worst optimization I've ever seen in a single game, much less a 2-D one. For example, if you have more than 2-3 large objects on the screen at one time, the frame rate drops sharply. It feels more like a slideshow than a game.

    Along with that, the game has a horrible tendency to crash. A lot. For some people, this was never an issue. For others, it crashed every fifteen minutes or so. Not actually exaggerating on that one. I timed it. Ultimately, it's up to you, but there are far better "interesting" games out there that have better optimization.    … Full Review »
