Jan 2, 2024Calico from developer Peachy Keen Games is a cute experience that features some good gameplay design geared toward a younger audience. The amount of customization, collecting, crafting, and questing that goes on should lock a Roblox-type audience into its gameplay. There is a lot to do and explore, and that just bodes well for the game’s longevity. There are some hiccups to the gameplay design with the HUD and clipping issues, but nothing that brings down the entertainment Calico dishes out.

Nov 28, 2023My time with Calico left me wanting more, and it’s annoyingly a tale of two halves. I quickly warmed to the delightful characters, but was left feeling shortchanged by the limited storytelling and quests. I had fun running around with a cat on my head, but was underwhelmed by the lack of any needs required to be fulfilled regarding my animal friends. I enjoyed baking sweet treats and decorating my cafe, but quickly discovered I couldn’t expand the premises. I can only hope that devs continue to invest in this world and seize the clear yet missed opportunity for growth.
