I've felt a wave of nostalgia lately, particularly after coming across screenshots of Nintendogs. As a longtime owner of both the game and a real-life dog (for over 18 years), I was feeling a desire for some furry companionship and decided to check out the Nintendo eShop to see what was new.
In My Little Dog Adventure, you take on the role of a small dog exploring the world as it tries to return home. The game is a brief, emotionally-engaging journey with an engaging story and endearing characters that will keep you invested.
Pros
Storyline: The plot is straightforward and uncomplicated, making it a soothing and comfortable game to play for a short period of time. The game's simplicity allows players to easily follow along with the story.
Gameplay: Players are able to traverse through different environments, experiencing the game both as a human and a dog (as the perspective changes) without any time constraints or obstacles. The only goal is to navigate from one diamond marker to the next, gradually making your way back home.
Exploration: The game features a variety of environments as you walk through the woods and allows players to easily wander off the beaten path to explore their surroundings.
Cons
Audio: The game's music and audio design are not particularly impressive. The balance is off, and the music feels like it could have been taken from a low-quality 80s film.
Graphics: There is a problem with the lighting on walls and doors at the start of the game, which can be quite blinding. Based on what I've seen online, the graphics is a common source of dissatisfaction among players. While I acknowledge that they can be a bit inconsistent and repetitive, I don't believe that they greatly impact the gameplay experience. The developers have tried to create a 360-degree perspective world, and I appreciate that effort.
Loading Screen: Please let me know if I'm the only one experiencing excessively long loading screens.
Price: The cost of the game is a bit steep compared to its overall quality. If it's on sale, then it may be worth it. Otherwise, it's best to add it to your wishlist and wait for a price drop.
I believe that the game is slightly too simplistic for its current pricing. Though it was entertaining and had a relaxing ambiance, I expected the graphic elements to be more varied and less reminiscent of 2010 graphics.
Total Gaming Time: 2 hours
