This game has a lot going for it. It’s polished, made with care and it’s very charming. It’s user friendly in terms of UI, tutorials and being told where to find what you need exactly. The controls work well with both the touch screen and controller. But it too has one problem similar to Hello Kitty.
So let’s get one thing out of the way, you can keep playing as much as you want. You’re not time gated and you’re not told to continue the next day. Although areas need heart currency to unlock, they look doable and nothing crazy based on what I’ve seen. But I did only play the game for about 3-4 hours.
My issue is the frequency of the quests you get before completing the ones you’re busy with. It started so well but it gradually became worse. I reached a point where I had between 15 and 20 active quests. When I’d complete one, 1-3 new quests would get added immediately. It felt like I wasn’t progressing. It’s as if I was being kept busy by doing chores and this just overwhelmed me and took all my motivation away.
Now don’t get me wrong, there are certainly types who can deal with this better than I can. There are types who can easily focus on the main quests or ignore the long list and do whatever they want. But for a person with OCD tendencies where you feel like you have to clear a checklist before moving on, it’s a nightmare to deal with.
You’re either one or the other. This will determine whether to play the game or not. Kids won’t have a problem and will enjoy the game too. It’s a very good and cute game that is worth trying if you don’t mind the way the quests are handled.
