    Doki-Doki Universe with its little robot is original to play but you have quickly come full circle.

    Graphics 4/10
    Music 6/10
    Gameplay 5/10

    My overall score is 5

    Doki Doki Universe is one of those unique little tittles that doesn't come around very often. As a Robot on the search for its own humanity the game is spit into two activities. One is flying to planets and helping its inhabitants with there problems. This comes in the form of providing them something they are missing.

As a Robot on the search for its own humanity the game is spit into two activities. One is flying to planets and helping its inhabitants with there problems. This comes in the form of providing them something they are missing. Someone for example might want a large house and it is your job to discover one and hand it over to them. The other part of the game comes in the form of visiting asteroids and taking small little personality quizzes. Answering questions based on images shown on the screen, and personally the results I got felt very much like it was correct for me. The art style is very nice hand drawn effect to it, and over all I would say if you are seeking something a little different for Vita, PS3 or PS4 to give it a look in.… Expand

    Im not sure if this can be actually called a game. It is basically personality quizz but one of the best and most original one. There is not much of a gameplay there it is basically exploration game, where you need to check every object and solve very simle puzzles, that are basically all the same.

Character tells you, he need some object (for example "something cute") and you have to summon something to his taste. It can be compared to scribblenauts but you dont write the objects. You choose from your expanding library. But there is certain charm to the game (it is very cute and you are always interest about the next evaluation of your personality) that just keeps me going and playing. It is certainly not for everyone. But if you want to just relax, or you are looking for something harmless for your kids, this is a game to consider.… Expand

    The game is really poorly designed, fair enough the developers are trying to get a game to feel like a hand drawn adventure but to me everything about the game is horrible.

    If you look at South Park Stick of Truth for a game that gets it right in the back-to-basics design. Pointless side quests (*30+ hours to get all of them done) Save you money and wait for a real game come out    The game is really poorly designed, fair enough the developers are trying to get a game to feel like a hand drawn adventure but to me everything about the game is horrible.

    AVOID AT ALL COST!    … Expand

    Please give this game a chance. I was uninterested at first because of the style. I thought come on, PS4 we can do better graphics then that. But I decided to download it because it was free on pS+. I wasn't going to lose anything but a little space. But it appears I am going to lose alot of time! This game is quirky and wierd and cute. I think I might get hooked!

    Nope. Game is for babyes. Don't touch it.

    One part I liked was the psychologist's test, they give really true results what are well explicated.
    Other parts are just too boring. You have a bunch of "words" and you have to guess what every character like (or not). Fun at first. Repeat 1000 times.

    Doki-Doki is a very warm comical game, it is not challenging, but it's filled with different kinds of puzzles, and it's easy to get lost in it. The game is worth playing if you are willing to give it a chance.

    a humble game for babies. the demo is good enough. personally not appealing, im one of those mindless gamers who just wanna shoot boom slash punch kick... dont tell me to hug bow kiss someone, boring as hell. the hand drawn graphics are ok. im sure babies can appreciate it better.

    Quick background on me the reviewer, I tend to like single player games that is heavy on narrative the most. I also play a lot of racing games and use to play multiplayer games in my high school days but now that it's hard for me and my friends to find a good time to link up so now it’s rarer for me to get into a multiplayer game.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of course influenced by my personal opinions.

    (4) Bad. While some things work as planned, the majority of this title either malfunctions or it is so dull that the game falls short as a whole.

    Controls are clunky for a console game. Would of been better if they published this on PC instead of playstation products. The personality tests where the only good thing in regards to gameplay the rest was just completing random stuff for other characters. I think even kids will even have a hard time finding joy in this game.    … Expand

    What a charming game. Doki-Doki Universe is pretty simple, there is really not much challenge here, but exploring each planet always gives us more interesting a funny characters to interact. I had a good time playing it; no complains here.

    A fun and unusual romp. It feels like a children's title that also appeals to older gamers thanks to the art style and strange method of conveying its morals to the audience. The game feels like it should only be played in short bursts, due to the monotony that sets in after long sessions of performing the same tasks over and over.
