Alekon

Fun and varied with lots of options (eventually) in taking and modifying the pictures. Only downside is that the rythm games feels off an getting a perfect score on certain photos was incredibly fiddly since it was hard maxing out the angle score on some.

Fun short game, in line with pokemon snap but has an added feature where you can play some short games with each creature you take a picture of. Really enjoyed playing it.

cute and the music is incredible

Do you like Pokémon Snap? Then you'll like this game. Alekon fills in an interesting niche of gameplay where you travel through various levels and take pictures of all sorts of whimsical and colorful creatures. And that's the game. At first you go through levels in a guided tour sort of manner, where movement and the path you take is automatic and you just have to focus on taking pictures of animals as they go past your view. But after that, you're able to load up these levels and run around them and explore at your leisure. It's colorful, fun, and friendly and a cozy casual type of game that you can play at your pace, however fast or slow that might be. The game does an excellent job at helping you figure out what types of pictures you're missing, giving you hints on where to find hidden animals and how you might provoke a specific reaction from them to get the perfect photo. After that, your photos are judged and then added to a photo album for later viewing. Unlike Pokémon Snap, you're not stuck playing the same level over and over again, waiting for a specific moment to take a specific photo only to get to the end and being told that you weren't close enough. Overall, you'll get about 10 hours of gameplay out of it. And that's not including the little minigames you unlock along the way. There are plenty of cosmetic things that you can unlock if that's your fancy as well!

Alekon is a very charming game about taking photographs of fictional creatures. The first few passes through a level are on-rails but after figuring out some of the basics you will be allowed to free roam. In-between photography sessions there are also minigames to play. They often unlock cosmetic upgrades either for the hub world or your photographs. It's cute, charming, and chill. I hope that these developers have successful careers.

I really enjoyed this game. I love photography-style based games and this one was exceptional in my opinion. *possible spoilers* I thought the ability to unlock mini games with each character and the ability to wander each area (outside of a set path) elevated this game for me. Each mini game was fun and different too which kept the gameplay enjoyable for me. :)

It's like an evolution of Pokemon Snap. The main appeal of this game for me was the ability to freely roam the areas to take pictures after playing through all of the pre set paths. There are also many side quests that unlock both new game mechanics and a slew of customisations around the hub world. The characters are fun and well written and it's genuinely just an all round good time. I cannot recommend this enough, it's really great!

Nice short game. There's essentially 3 gameplay components. The first one is similar to Pokemon Snap. The second are the minigames in the Hub area. Had some trouble with the quick-time events, but I'm going to chalk that up to skill issue. The third is a free wander of the area to complete puzzles and be able to take photos without panicking.

This game invokes a nostalgic, comfortable feeling in me like few other games can. The soundtrack, environments, and creature designs are all great, and blend together as a wholesome, if short, game.

Solid game and very reminiscent of Pokemon Snap. Love the designs for the fictions and enjoyed their humorous titles. The rail system through the levels felt incredibly fast but that was totally fine because after you unlock a whole zone you can free roam it, which is even better. The mini games were sometimes a little harsh and caused some frustration but in general were a nice addition. If you find yourself struggling with the music mini games I definitely recommend just coming back to them later once you have the slow down ability. I wish that had come into play earlier or that I knew it was coming because that would have saved me some irritation when I was working through the game one zone at a time.
