Critter Cove

I can't say enough good things about Critter Cove! I love repairing the rundown, resort island that you start on. It gives me a great sense of purpose and direction. But, even if I didn't have that, I would love all the exploring that you do. There are underwater ruins, little hidden caves, and all sorts of things to find. I personally like discovering the notes left behind that let you piece together what happened in this world. Honestly, Critter Cove has everything that you could want if you like a cozy, town-building experience. After storms, you take your boat out and rescue stranded NPCs. You can invite them back to your island and build them a home. Once you start repairing the shops, you can give those same folks jobs! You can craft and decorate, you can farm and cook, you can build robots to help automate things. It's a ton of fun! But, the cherry on top of it all is how awesome the devs are. I had a crash to desktop issue over a holiday weekend. I emailed them, figuring I wouldn't hear back until after the holiday, and I was fine with that. (Everyone deserves to have a holiday!) But, lo and behold, they got back to me over the weekend. They were helpful, cheerful, and a delight to speak with. <3

This game is a hidden gem, and even if it needs some tweaks when it comes to the farming and swimming, it is really fun to play. I loved the questline and all the quirks. The critters I picked(I had no clue about their personalities)was so fun to talk to. My hope for this game is that the devs will try to fix the bugs that create some hick-ups here and there, nothing that really stopped me from playing but they are there and shouldn't be. Try it out if you like cozy games because this is cozy and really fun to play!

多くの人が述べているがキャラクリは人間以外のパターンが多く他のゲームと比べるとケモナー大歓喜なクリエイトが出来ると思う。 キャラもケモノ好きなら可愛いと思えるデザインをしていると思う。 しかし、このゲームに登場するキャラの良い点は上記の点のみである。 20時間程プレイして出会ったキャラはことごとくカスばかりだったことを述べておきたい。 全てのキャラが主人公に寄生して生きているといっても過言ではない。 出会い頭に頼みごとをしてくるが、そのお礼がゴミ同然のものでプレイには何の影響を与えない。 そのあとはテントをくれ、家の素材をくれ、地図を買ってくれ(なぜか断ると友好度が下がる)等、プレイすればするほど目障りになってくる。 このゲームでは大部分は終わることのないおつかいが繰り返されている。 あれを持ってこい、これを持ってい来いと新しいアイテムの入手＝新しい献上品である。 このゲームではチェストが全部共有されていて、どのチェストを調べてもすべてにアクセスできるのだが、献上する際にはなぜか使えないので、所持している必要がある。せっかくのまともな機能もこれでは宝の持ち腐れである。 そのせいで別の島でのお使いの場合には●●を持ってこい→帰って持ってくる→次は●●を持ってこい→帰って持ってくるを繰り返されるのである。 攻略サイトなどを駆使すれば避けられるのでろうが、それでええんか？とは思う。 それに拍車をかけるように徒歩、船ともに移動が遅い。ある程度は進めたが特に移動を改善するアイテムなどは出現していない。 そのくせファストトラベルは無いのである。これでは強制的にスローライフを強いられているのも同然である。 クラフトに関しては、残骸を分解して一定数まで達したらレシピを覚えられるシステムだが、必要数が30などがざらにある。 そのためには漂流物は時間経過で復活するとはいえ、何度も同じ場所に来る羽目になる。 7往復くらい要求される物もあったりする。ふざけるな そして最後に襲い掛かってくるのは金策である。 入手できる金に比べて要求される金銭があまりにも膨大である。プレイ時間を水増しするのに持って来いである。 金の入手量は進行してもさほど変わらないにもかかわらず、要求される量は加速度的に増えていく。 ここでも住民たちは一切協力はしない。 とにかく全てにおいて不便を強いられており、強制的にスローライフを送らされているのである。 と、ここまで不満点を挙げてきたが、もちろんいい点もあった。 寝ないでも食べ物さえあればスタミナを回復できるので日を跨いでも問題なく作業を続けられるのである。 他には・・・ 特に思いつかない。 自分ではろくに動かない誰かの為に、延々と終わらない無間地獄のようなボランティアを続けられる人には楽しめるゲームであると思うが、せっかちは人には向いていないと思います。

I adore this game. The world feels lively and there's alot of discovering/exploring aspects. Collecting materials doesn't feel too grindy, discovering blueprints feels achievable and worthwhile. The critter villagers you interact with have expressive personalities that match their faces and movements very well and you get attached to them, there's jobs they can do later and they'll actually be actively doing that job which can involve interacting with other critters or ones that visit. Their voices are also cute. The music is also nice! Can be Lofi at certain times, paired with my graphics up is sensory candy to me, the water at certain times (sunset) and sky is so nice and the starry sky too. There's a post apocalypic aspect to the world but not in a scary way, in a peaceful, overgrown way with means of rediscovery. Some ruins are gorgeous! Seriously a nice open world, with other islands you can freely swim/boat to. The customization is very good and you can be creative and make a unique character to play as. It's honestly one of my favorite games right now.

You will probably see this and say 'furries'. Don't do that, specially if you have ever played a game like 'Animal Crossing', which is exactly the same but no one links to the term. Yes, this is clearly Animal Crossing inspired, with bits of My Sims, My time at Portia, and others. When i got this game, i wasn't expecting it to be so heavily inspired by those, but the result is pretty neat! Good and bad points? ++ Great game performance and really short loading times, with no lag detected so far! ++ Very relaxing. The game encourages exploring while gathering resources, and then use those to revive your island. Everything hand in hand with a nice and calming sountrack. -- Soundtrack can get a bit repetitive over time. There is also an issue with certain tracks that ignore the music volume slider and make you deaf. -- No 'boombox' to override music in a room or area or your choice, like your house ¬¬ ++ Tons of costumization for your character from the very beggining! Aside of clothing, you have a huge selection of options to customize your character, and none will be locked at any time, so you can change yourself completely mid-game if you want. -- Clothing can only be get by completing requests from villagers, or after unlocking certain building, but it is always random... One month of gameplay and I still havent seen the blue hoodie! ¬¬ ++ Tons of villagers! Having a huge costumization comes with a great rooster of premade villagers that you can encounter. ++ Since last update, you can create your very own villagers by unlocking certain building. -- Just 5 villager moods as far, which makes all vilagers feel the same and lack personallity. ++ House costumization allows not only to decorate your own house, but also to redesign villagers' after a certain event. -- Furniture, just like clothes, are random either from quest rewards or daily stock in a shop. -- No options to create / design your own furniture / clothes yet. ++ The game uses an ingame day / time system instead of a real time one, which eliminates the need of booting the game on impossible days of your busy life. Play when you want to play, and all content will be there waiting for you. -+ The town is 'as it is'. You can't choose where to build a house or building because the town has been designed in its own way. You get to choose which building is your house though. ++ Grinding is real, but not abusive. After you get aquintance with the near islands and unlock certain breathing upgrade, grinding becomes easy and manageable. Even crafting stations, which need time to process certain items into others, have permanent upgrades to greately reduce the time taken. ++ Huge map to explore. The map is just MASSIVE, and it is not even finished yet! Each region has multiple islands, all with their own secrets, and even the water surrounding them has lots of diving spots to discover. Every place has been created with dedication to the detail, keeping up with the game's lore. -- For some reason, not all villagers appear on the map, making tedious to track them for their requests. -- Players can't manually mark the map for waypoints, resources, villagers, or personal references. -+ Some elements shown on the trailers are not in the game, like the beach waiter job or certain critter interactions like taking photos, throwing trash, or falling for stepping on trash. The boat is also missing some pretty important upgrades. Pretty sure all this will be on a future update though. -- No photo mode!!! Short version: it is a nice game to sit and relax, with tons of gameplay time and customization even for an early access, but still lacks some quality of life improvements that would make the game a big hit. Can't wait until the 1.0 update is here!

It could be a very fun game, but I get terrible motionsickness from playing it.

i have 163 hours in this game at first i really liked it but as time went on I've found more and more bugs that have made the game almost impossible to play. recently they added a salon feature where you can make custom characters i spent 15 thousand game currency to create three characters and the game never implemented them into the game after so much time and so many bugs i can only throw in the towel and give up. i really wish i could give this game a good review but for me it hasn't worked well.
