    I decided to give this game a try and, after completing it, I can say it is a good game. I mean, of course it is not an Assassin's Creed or a Witcher, but it is worth it.

    The story is good and perfect not only for the little ones but also for older players. Nowadays it is not easy to make a game that features respect for nature and animals as well as no violence in a market which has a "Call of Duty overdose", so I really liked that point.
    Moreover, it has been developed by an indie studio, so playing it is a good way to support newcomers and their fresh ideas, which in my opinion is something that we gamers need.
    So my advice is that you should give this game a try, I can say without a doubt that it is worth my money    … Expand

    The Adventures of Tarpak and his dog Tarao fighting an evil corporation that experiments with animals, you must play with the two characters inviting their skills. Play as Tarao is great, seeing the world through the eyes of a dog is a success, this and not basing the game on violence makes it perfect for the little ones ;)

    Indie game, Cell shading type, not to much complicate, not for hard gamers. Perfect for my kids.
    No explicit violence, protect the animals dogs and parcour history... Nice!
    Good for Sony for not only make games and give new IDEAS.

    Dogchild is a gem for animal lovers . It is a big step that a game will help convey such importants values.
    You can spend a fun time playing it. It is a good initiative and I love the idea.

    I played it and all that I can say is a wonderful game. This game is very original and the kids will enjoy with this game. The game have a entertainment puzzle system where you have to switch between Tarpak and Tarao to get pass the level. There is not a violence here so I recommend it :)

    Very good adventure game where the dog helps you overcome the challenges, a fun and beautiful game. Being a game INDI can not demand much, and his originalidd meets and entertains.

    Me gusta el juego, su temática, su historia, su trasfondo, SIN VIOLENCIA... Es normal que tengan fallos (Menos que muchos triple AAA) ¿y?. Ojalá tuviesen más pulmón económico, seguro que harían más cosas maravillosas.

    No se rindan Animatoons, sigan luchando y creando historias bonitas y llenas de emoción

    A mi me ha gustado el juego.

    Algún glich si me he encontrado pero... ¿Que juego no lo tiene?.

    Perfecto para los mas peques de la casa.

    The ideas are great and switching between two characters with very different abilities is a nice touch. I would have like the game to have more of a story and possibly have some sort of character voice acting. Also the game can be hugely frustrating with awkward movement and controls.

    The most heartwarming thing about this game is its a tribute to the lead developer's sadly deceased dog companion. For that reason alone anyone who has ever had a beloved pet really owes it to themselves to experience this one.

    This indie game has been awarded for its design. Tarpak and his dog Tarao cooperate to solve some interesting swap-controlling puzzles, facing different game mechanics throughout the whole adventure. But the game shows some control problems. A promising start for a very young studio.
