    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Bursting with personality and cuteness. Challenge anorexic. [February 2014, p83]

    Witty writing and a large serving of cute means you might just rediscover your humanity. [March 2014, p.83]
