A relaxing and accessible exploration/puzzle game, and definitely a hidden gem. The world is full of details, adorable fantasy creatures, and fun distractions (such as minigames and playable instruments). The game's story is told with watercolor paintings and rhymes, which gives it a charming storybook feel. You can unlock lots of cute outfits to dress Skye the dragon in.

I recommend taking your time with this game and trying to find as many secrets and collectibles as you can - if you only do the main objectives, you may reach the credits in an hour or two. There is a "high contrast" filter meant for those with visual impairments, but it also helps with finding those last few collectibles you need. I do think the game would benefit from a mechanic that points you to collectibles you're missing as a last resort. There are no guides for this game, and I eventually gave up on 100% completing it after I flew around the map for twenty minutes and still couldn't find the last cactus I needed to bloom.

The game seemed to fall apart during the last level. I experienced two crashes and two instances of the game becoming so laggy that I had to restart it. The human characters are also a bit lacking in personality and uncanny valley-looking.
