Hello Goodboy

I’m leaving a positive review because you can tell this game was made with love, and the art is genuinely beautiful. But honestly, I spent most of it feeling lost .. there were touching moments, yet the story never felt clear, and the writing didn’t really help me connect with what it was trying to say, so in the end it just wasn’t that satisfying to play.

A very cute game! A game with a talking dog! What more would you want?! XD Jkjk, The graphics are really beautiful and the story is really heartfelt! All of the charackters you meet are unique and have a fitting personalities! All in all a very great game!

I cried.

Hello Goodboy really impressed me. I had low expectations going in, and I have to say now that it was one of my favorite games of 2025. This is a baby spiritfarer. Aesthetics~~* The art is incredible, the music pleasant. I loved the seasons and their separate vibes. Additionally, the light and dark images of the Wolf and Coco was super elegantly done. I liked the duality and the way that anxiety/fear/sadness/grief are explored and juxtaposed to connection/friendship/openness/vulnerability. Accessibility~~* My kid played this game and it was slow and deliberate and sweet enough that she was not only interested in playing but also engaging with the deeper themes of the story. The challenges in the game weren't effortless, but it was a soft game that didn't penalize. It was soothing and calming, a game that was 0% tense. I thought that was sort of incredible, because so many games are stressing you on purpose to be "fun". There's time to hug whenever you want. Like, a break is always available. There are views on the maps that are places just to zoom out and watch Iko and Coco relax a moment. You are going to take it easy in this game. Hello Goodboy has a lot of ideas and the interactions are sort of small- little puzzles and rhythm challenges, some shape sorting puzzles. The story and its beauty are the thing. That said, I did play it like 5 times and blue ribboned in about 6 hours. It's short but sweet. PROTIP: I will say that the first playthrough I didn't realize you could make the text instantaneous- that's a game changer, at least IMO, because I'm impatient and read fast. I stan Hedera and Hachi and super loved that the achievements had me picnic in the forest and by the lake because both stories were illuminating. I always feel like I miss out in story games because choices matter, but Hello Goodboy is such a bitesized version of those epics that I have now seen every ending and done every storyline and it's a very satisfying feeling!! Super Bonus Mr. Goose and Mrs. Hen are on every map and I love them so freakinnnnggg much. Argh~! I highly suggest Hello Goodboy to children of all ages, pup lovers, folks with 6 hours, and anyone with big feelings. You'll love it!

可以不玩 1.互动小说 2.探索 3.休闲 4.治愈 5.可爱 [h2]如果玩的话一定要把文字速度调成快速[/h2] [u]丑话说在前头， [/u] [b]这个游戏是一个适合低龄儿童玩的温馨治愈可爱好游戏，但不适合忙忙碌碌的成年人 [/b]，因为节奏太慢了，真的会很着急。游戏讲的是一个小男孩和狗狗一起探索冒险，帮助NPC获取正能量，最后和邪恶作斗争的故事。有的要帮NPC找人，有的要陪NPC吃饭，还得帮NPC干农活，中心思想无非就是人是有AB面的，尽量多做好事提升正能量来对抗负面情绪。 那我为什么要玩这么个游戏呢？-----因为想体验一下人和忠犬之间的情感...就是那种老老实实的傻狗满心满眼全是主人的感受。我家虽然有一个美貌的哈基米了，但是这货实在是太难以形容了，怎么说呢...它要成精了...喜欢穿漂亮衣服；经常指挥我为它干这干那，包括给它拿零食，陪它玩球，如果我没有成功领会它的意图，会非常嫌弃的眼神看我，还会白我一眼；一大早喊我起床，我起来之后它就放心的去睡回笼觉；我回家晚了会抱怨我、骂我。有时候外出摸了摸别人家的狗回来，它都一脸嫌弃，不洗干净手都不让抱... 打完这个游戏，我并没有体会到狗和人的朴素友谊，我只觉得游戏里的狗没有灵魂，还是哈基米最香！[h3]它不瞪我的时候还是挺好的！[/h3]

Добродушный симулятор ходьбы, помощи всем вокруг в простеньких мини-играх и скипа одинаковых диалогов на "Пробел", который нужно проходить несколько раз по кругу, чтобы увидеть весь контент ([spoiler] минимум 2 раза для true концовки, 4 раза чтобы увидеть все добрые сцены + "злая" концовка, где мы никому не помогаем[/spoiler]). Почему нельзя было просто добавить возможность пройти все двери за 1 раз? Не выбивайте в ней платину, не тратьте свое время. 10 чилловых бобров-курв из 10!

Very emotional game but left me feeling good, I will have to come back and get all achivments later.

Some might call it cozy, but to me it has kind of a childish feel to it. Seems to have more story than gameplay. If that's your thing, go for it. But not me.

Is a great game just feel is for a younger audience

The game mechanics are clunky and the story is choppy and confusing even with the "true" ending and multiple replays. It would be nice if you could skip scenes and dialogue on second and third rounds.
