This game looked like Stardew Valley meets Pokémon ….we’ll… I guess it is lol
Which sounds fun on paper but it gets very boring and uninteresting very fast. Ooblets is a life sim where you move to an island, get a shack in the woods, and your very own monster. You farm crops and have dance battles with your monsters instead of your typical “Pokémon” battles. You do side quests, you do missions and develop friendships with the town folks. I love this stuff but this game ended up being so boring . Play Stardew Valley. Play Animal Crossing. Play Pokémon. But this game just isn’t that great unfortunately. I mean I was very excited to play his game for years and sadly it was not worth the wait.

has an aesthetic that guys who have tweetlongers being written about them will love and call "wholesome"

i really wanted to like this game because it's super cute and i love the art style but it got boring and repetitive pretty quickly. although it was fun for a bit, i stopped enjoying it after a while. i may come back to it later, though because the potential is there!

unapologetic in its weirdness

Music is amazing. The Ooblets are adorable. Plot was eh. Farming was fun!


loved playing through the main story but I don't feel the need to go back for seasonal events and long term game play.

was really fun and cute but got super boring after a long while

Every time I come back to this game I lower my rating. It's cute, polished, has a point of view, but Jesus CHRIST is the gameplay loop boring. I have no idea how they essentially transposed the Stardew formula into a different style and lost the playability along the way.

The game was very cute, but I couldn’t get into it for some reason. It seemed kinda disorganized and, at some points, like they were trying too hard (particularly with the slang. It was hard to read). The ooblets are so cute though!!

Cosy farming game for those who enjoying the collection mechanic of Pokémon with a card-based battle mechanic.

Only criticism would be a bigger emphasis on tutorials and tool tips. Often I found myself searching up terminology and mission criteria.

It's better than Pokémon just because literally everything is better than Pokémon.

played this obsessively for a while and i don't remember why i did

i couldn’t get into this game. it’s very pretty and the ooblets are adorable but i wasn’t very impressed by anything else.

It was fun but entirely forgettable. I think I played it in the weeks before Tears of the Kingdom came out and I needed time to kill.

Really enjoyed the beginning of the game but the composer (pedro silva / slimegirls) being outed as an abuser and the developers never addressing this makes it very hard to recommend.

The dance battle mechanic is rad, I like the world, but the music is such an important part of the game and it's completely soured for me.

Super charming and fun. Absolutely love it!

i've been following this game since the announcement of its development years ago and i am so happy to see the result! i think that parts of it feel simple, such as dance battles, some quests, and npc dialogue, and that allows for focus on what is charming about the game, like the graphics and the story. i'm looking forward to more updates :)

OBSESSED! I will be coming back to collect the rest of the ooblets but the story was very fun and it was all I could play for months!

it's in early access at the time, so this review may change as they add more and more stuff

I absolutely love the concept!! farming sim mixed with monster collection sounds like a dream come true for me. whether Ooblets delivers..... ehhhhhh

it's a fun game with some really cute monsters and some nice settings, I won't deny that. dance battles are fine. but I think most of my issues with this game lie in the very..... mid 2010s Tumblr way all the characters speak, to the point where it feels almost patronizing (and I was knee deep in Tumblr in the mid 2010s so I think that says a lot). it tries way too hard to be cute when it's already sugary sweet and it falls straight on its ass the moment anyone speaks

not being able to predict what the next day's weather is gonna be like also sucks but maybe they'll fix that in a later update. who knows

Super cute and silly! Although I'm not The biggest fan of the dance battle system itself, the creature collecting is fun and creative, and all the other things to do are just as fun. The main story offers you enough variation to keep you engaged for a fair amount of time and to interact with most of the systems of the game.

I really like the concept of this game, luckly i got a promo code so I didnt pay the full price when it released and I know its still in early access but right now its just a bit boring and i already "finished" the game and i have to wait for future updates.
looking forward when the game is finished I know it has potencial for it

Same vibe as Animal Crossing/Stardoot valley, but ALOT more goofier and endearing. Did eventually get abit bored with the repetitive gameplay, but can appreciate the creativity, adorable artwork and humour - might pick up casually again one day.

It's a breath of fresh air for this kind of game but it gets repetitive after a while. Hope I can stick to it a little longer but knowing me, maybe not hahaha

there is so much to do but it's fun all in all


I played this game while it was in early access and thoroughly enjoyed it, although there was something about it that prevented me from feeling fully obsessed with it. At the time I think I wanted the quirkiness to be turned down just a tiny bit, and a little more attention devoted to...any sort of narrative. It's long been out of early access I think, so I will probably give it another shot soon.

Like a dessert that is too decadent it's perfect for when you're craving it otherwise it's just a bit much.

It's fine. Got obsessed, then it got repetitive.

i completed the main story and collected as many ooblets as i could while feeling somewhat addicted and obsessed with this but i think thats worn off now and ive decided im done with it. the dance battle system is cute but it gets a little repetitive after a while and i felt less inclined to grind it out in completing the ooblet almanac, and with the end of the main story there wasnt much to really stick around and continue playing for. i love my little ooby buddies and theyre all so cute but i wish there was more of a sandbox/endless play incentive!
