Alt text: Yeah yeah, there's always exceptions, I mean look no further than the game in the 2nd panel, not the most thrilling gameplay, is it?

    I’ve been enjoying My Little Puppy. It’s a cute little game about finding your human. Not for kids though.

    Edit: I’ve finished the game, here is my Steam review.

    Tap for review

    Wow what a game… ok first and foremost, for any parents reading this, I would actually rate this game as PG not the current G age rating, due to certain themes.

    +++ Animations and graphics for the dogs are perfect. Really makes you feel like a dog

    +++ Environment design, sound design, pacing, themes, all of it is perfect

    +++ Huge amount of detail and effort put in to the story, even side characters

    + Controls are mostly good. I had this bug where I would have to let go of the direction stick and press forwards again every 5 minutes or so, which was mildly annoying.

    - Some of the puzzles, quick time events, and platforming jumps would be very difficult for a child. I can’t see anyone under 10 maybe 13 finishing this game without adult assistance. Heck even as an adult some sections really annoyed me.

    I can’t really review anything else without giving it away. It’s definitely worth playing. If you’re on the fence, consider this review your signal to go for it.

      I’ve been playing that and loving it! Is…is it not kid friendly? A lot of the gameplay… seems just cute and simple… Ohno. Anxious now that it might have a dark af ending o-o Guess I’ll see.

        Tap for not spoiler

        I would personally rate the game PG instead of the current G age rating due to certain themes

        Sorry by that I meant that the gameplay is actually quite difficult. The quick time events are strict and there’s no accessibility option, the jumps are tight especially in some sections, etc. So far the themes are kid friendly, though I haven’t beaten it yet*. But I can’t see anyone under 10 maybe 13 beating this game without serious frustration. Heck as an adult I got annoyed at repeatedly failing a few seconds 😂
