    It’s clear there’s a devoted team that set out knowing the cozy little game it wanted to make, and what they’ve created is a pleasure to play. So get out there and become a farming mogul or a titan of commerce or revel in the strategy of dancing — if you like nice things, then you’re sure to enjoy Ooblets.

    This, then, is Ooblets: a tremendously well-made game that mashes together disparate wholesome game genres to create something unique and clever, with a tremendously memorable art style and sense of humor. [Issue #62 – November/December 2022, p. 22]

    It’s still a bit rough around the edges, but Ooblets is a quirky combination of monster collecting RPG and farming sim. The humor and characters are incredibly charming, and the core gameplay loop is a ton of fun. For every annoying dungeon, there’s some cute Ooblets to battle and collect just around the corner. What Ooblets lacks in polish, it makes up for in charm.

    Ooblets is a fun and very relaxing game, but all the frame drops and repetitiveness at times do not fully enhance it.

    I’m in awe of Ooblets; it managed to take several distinct and highly developed mechanics and make sure each one was deeply complex instead of a cheap afterthought. The farming portion satisfies, the card-based, turn-based dance battles are addicting, and the task management system keeps players busy, busy, busy. It’s unfortunate that progress still feels like it’s moving at a snail’s pace, but at least there are cute lil ooblets to show for it. If all you want to do is dance (and farm, and forage, and cook, and shop, and…), then Ooblets challenges you to take control of your formerly toot life and make it an awesome one.

    I desperately wanted to like Ooblets. On the surface, it feels like a game that should be right up my alley. Unfortunately, the things that felt therapeutic and rewarding in games like Stardew Valley or Story of Seasons just felt like chores during my time in Badgetown. Despite having the usual farming game loop that was able to suck me in easily, I felt less and less like I was having any fun as time went on. While there is funny writing and cute little collectable creatures to be found in Ooblets, it just wasn’t enough to leave me with a satisfied feeling by the end of my time with it. It’s a shame because there’s obviously a lot of heart put into this game, but heart alone cannot sustain a game like this for an extended period of time.

    I don't usually rate games at all. But this one I felt I had to go out of my way to do so. Given the fact it did not have a proper review. II don't usually rate games at all. But this one I felt I had to go out of my way to do so. Given the fact it did not have a proper review. I have had a rough couple of weeks. I'm saying this not to share my life, but to express how thankful I am to this game. I have been able to relax and smile while playing because of the charming atmosphere and adorable creatures. Every little bit of the game has been crafted with such care. The dance battles are unique and fun although I feel that there should be more. But in fairness I am only about 5 hours in. The jokes in the game are adorable as well. The farming aspect is what you would expect, but it does come with some unique opportunities for your Ooblets! With each feature I unlock or quest I complete I feel like there are about 4 more things that are opened up to me! I usually am indecisive and have a hard time actually going from debating about purchasing a game to actually doing it. This time I am so glad I took the leap. I absolutely love the game and would recommend it to abyone.… Expand

But, like others have said, it can get bumpy on the Switch with some FPS drops, but hopefully it gets better along the way.
