    Calico is super cute and after the patch, it is better than before. Good game for casual playing!

    This is the cutest game I´ve played in a long time. You feel that the developers put a lot of love into some details, like the movement of the animals and the overall design. Animals do get a bit wobbly sometimes. There´s some bugs and issues with it though, and the screen takes a while to load. I hope they will fix some of them over time.

There´s some bugs and issues with it though, and the screen takes a while to load. I hope they will fix some of them over time. There are many options to individualize the character and many, many very cute animals that you can even mount and ride around with.
    I can definitely recommend this game for any animal lover in search of a relaxing, peaceful little game that will instantly boost your mood. The price (10€) is very fair for what you´ll get.    … Expand

    Super cute game! Haven't put it down except for work. Definitely has a few bugs that news to be worked through, but amazing and fun, can't wait to see it grow

    Peachy Keen Games worked over time to patch this game, and the hard work's paid off. With v 1.4, Calico runs smoother with less bugs and corrected controls. At the end of the day, Calico proves itself to be a warm slice of wholesome content. Light, breezy, and cute as a button, this is a game that is very refreshing, now more than ever.

    Combining cats and other likeable creatures with a café should be a winning formula, but unfortunately Calico fails to offer an enjoyable time. Cute graphics and inventive concepts alone do not excuse the multitude of issues that give the game a feel of a draft version, rather than a finished product despite post-launch updates. Perhaps one day running a cat café will run like a dream, instead of a cute-themed nightmare.

    What sounded like the combination of a management game, Animal Crossing, and The Sims turned out to be barely influenced by all three. If you’re looking for a relaxing Switch game where you can collect clothing, decorate your home, and hang out with animals, there is already the perfect game for you: Animal Crossing New Horizons. If you’ve already played it to the point of needing new joysticks, then there are plenty of other indie alternatives to pick up before giving Calico consideration.

    While Calico‘s current state is vastly improved from its initial release thanks to these patches, its initial launch state can’t just be swept under the rug. But the continued effort to improve the game, combined with its welcoming, comforting, and charming nature shining through these unpleasant mats of fur, makes it clear that Peachy Keen Games is a developer with a lot of potential — and I can’t wait to see what they can do in the future with more experience.
