Okaeri! Chibi-Robo! Happy Richie Oosouji ( Chibi-Robo: Clean Sweep ) :
Before I start, I want to mention that you should check my first chibi-robo review because I tell the basics of a chibi-robo game there and I will talk mostly about how this game improves on it and what it adds.
There are so many franchises that deserved much better and if I had to choose my favorite it would be Chibi-Robo. The game's are beyond unique experiences with a lot of character, exploration and an incredible amount of detail and charm.
Clean Sweep as fans call it is a direct sequel to the original but now on DS and it geniunly fixes most of the issues of Plug into Adventure and even expands some characters from the original like Jenny the daughter from the first game became a mom and bought us because knew about our duty on the first game, the rangers from the first game are also back and they are still amazing here. The setting is now about a poor family so now you try to make and gain money and they see you as a family member rather than a robot that helps in the first game which is such a unique setting for the game, you take part in savings tournaments to get new furnitures and items for the house and family, you help cook the dinner and help washing the dishes and such. The story takes a strange turn in the later game and thats the place where you know the story is gonna be sweet and heartwarming just like the first game.
The gameplay improved soo sooo much more, you finally don't take fall damage anymore and you can now choose from 5 options on how long you want to make the day last instead of 3 which is more flexible and a welcome change. The proggression in the story isn't a slog and you don't get lost easily like in the first game because of savings tournaments being always there, better direction and that was my biggest problem with the first game. The new cleaning mechanic is very fun and the whole making your cord longer so you throw it and reach to the bigger areas mechanic is also very fun and a fresh way to traverse the area. The upgrades, new chips are cool and still a good way to keep you doing more things. The items and costumes chibi-robo uses are much better and more useful than the first game. Watts and vehicles from Park Patrol are a great change it adds a little strategy to the game and finally vehicles are an amazing way to travel around the house that the original game lacked. You also now use the phone to buy stuff which is a cool change for people that came from the original because its a surprise for everyone and there are a lot of things like that in the game.
Lastly the characters and charm is still amazing. The new toys are great, Ketchup, Iberico, Habanero are now amongst my favorites in the franchise and the family members are great too, Lucky is a good dog and an older boy Keith is also a good one of course along with Jenny who is such a sweet character and another character I don't want to spoil.
You really need to play Chibi-Robo: Clean Sweep, its a fun time, playing it when you are chilling and vibing was so much fun when you just wanted to explore and collect, the charm is incredible and I couldn't recommend the game enough; belive me the translation is so well done, such an underrated gem on DS.
