My Vet Practice – Marine Patrol

Just like the original my vet practice game, here you have to cure / heal injured or sick animals, right now your area is sea creatures https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55cNYWAmg_g

My Vet Practice - Marine Patrol is slightly better than the first game in the series. Although that's kind of like saying that 10 fire ant bites are better than 100. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJPVt4epBdc In the game you play as a vet that needs to take care of injured wildlife in Northern Canada. This boils down to completing some simple mini-games to treat the animals and set them back free in the wild. It's about as simple and boring as you could imagine. Park Rangers bring in the same animals constantly and many of the tactics used to treat animals are very similar to eachother. Usually you end up clicking and dragging the mouse around a certain part of the animal. The minigames are actually improved upon from the original though. In the first game you would haphazardly fiddle with different tools until you figured out what to do, while this one just gives you them to make it easier and quicker. I appreciate that aspect because I didn't smack my head on my desk quite as quickly. The game moves at a very slow pace where after nearly an hour I was still treating gulls and puffins even though the game said I would be treating larger animals and had purchased the dock to do so. There are quite a few spelling mistakes in the dialogue and it repeats very often. The game also isn't accurate to the region of the world it takes place in. As I said the game is set in Canada yet there are penguins and dolphins, neither of which live in the Arctic Circle. Penguins in particular literally live on the opposite side of the world. I wouldn't have a problem with it if the game didn't specify where it was set, but it's detailed as Canada in the description which simply doesn't make sense. At one point the game was most likely a Nintendo DS title called Pet Vet: Marine Patrol. This is evident as the title screen for the game on startup still uses that as the title. It seems like Anikids is just releasing ports of their DS games and changing their names so nobody would see the reviews for the portable versions. That's not really an okay thing to do, Anikids. While this is probably the best Anikids developed or published game I've played (the others are truly awful), it still isn't something I would give to a child to play. It's basic to the point that there is no fun to be had by anyone of any age. You can make good kids games that are enjoyable to play, even if they have simple mechanics. This is just lazy developing under the guise of being kid-friendly. Also, I'm still convinced that Anikids is a tax writeoff as they are owned by a German editing software company.

SEAGULS

Nettes Spiel für Kinder! Man wird hier neben dem Verarzten der Tiere auch in Bezug auf die Umwelt etwas geschult. Im Sale empfohlen (ich hab es mir für 1,49€ geholt und finde es gut). ___ Wünsche: Timer weglassen. Beenden-Button einfügen (konnte keinen finden? Taste P?). Vertonen/Sprachausgabe. Steam-Sammelkarten, Tolle Abzeichen, Profilhintergründe, Emoticons, Profilavatare, Profilrahmen... Ein paar schöne Steam-Errungenschaften :)

its my childhood games i had it on CD, idk know if its good or not but i liked it playing as a child and i like it now

Very boring and repetetive.

Dieses Spiel eignet sich für alle die die guten alten Tiersimulationen vermissen wo man Tiere gepflegt, verarztet usw. hat und natürlich für alle Tierverrückten Kinder und Jugendlichen dieser Generation. Man schlüpft in die Rolle einer Tierärztin und versorgt am Eisigen Meer Pinguine, Seevögel, Meeressäuger und sogar Eisbären. Die Untersuchen sind sehr realistisch und detaliert und mann kann dabei sogar noch einiges über Tiermedizin lernen. Leider ist das Zeitmanagement dieses Spieles furchtbar, alle paar Sekunden blinkt ein neuer Notfall auf, da bleibt fast keine Zeit die Tiere zu versorgen oder den Strand abzugehen um Müll einzusammeln und Tieren in Not zu helfen, dass muss man aber um die verschieden Aufgaben zu bewältigen und weiterzukommen und auch beim verarzten gibt es ein Zeitlimit dass einem am Anfang zu schaffen macht. Empfehlenswert für alle die Tiere lieben und sich nicht von dem Zeitlimit stressen lassen.

Boring game, Don't Buy

My Vet Practice – Marine Patrol presents itself as a calm, animal-focused simulation that places players in the role of a marine veterinarian working along the rugged coasts of northern Canada. The game builds its identity around care, routine, and environmental awareness, offering a structured experience where the primary goal is to rescue, treat, and rehabilitate a variety of sea animals. Rather than aiming for high-intensity gameplay or complex systems, it leans into a slower, more methodical pace that emphasizes compassion and responsibility. From the outset, it establishes a gentle atmosphere that feels more educational and relaxing than challenging. The gameplay is largely centered on performing veterinary tasks through a collection of mini-games that simulate different aspects of animal care. These activities include diagnosing injuries, cleaning wounds, administering treatments, and ensuring animals are properly fed and comfortable. Each task is designed to be simple and intuitive, making it easy for players to understand what is required without needing extensive tutorials or prior experience. While this accessibility is one of the game’s strengths, it also means that the mechanics rarely evolve into something more demanding. Over time, the repetition of similar actions can make the experience feel predictable, especially for players who prefer more complex or varied gameplay systems. A notable highlight of the game is its variety of marine animals, which adds a sense of charm and diversity to the overall experience. Players encounter creatures such as dolphins, seals, penguins, and even larger animals like orcas, each requiring different forms of care. This variety helps maintain a sense of interest, as each rescue scenario introduces slight changes in how tasks are approached. In addition to treating injuries, the game incorporates elements of environmental cleanup, such as dealing with pollution or rescuing animals affected by oil spills. These moments reinforce the game’s underlying message about conservation and the importance of protecting marine ecosystems, giving the experience a meaningful thematic layer. The inclusion of exploration adds another dimension to the gameplay, allowing players to travel between different locations using a small boat. This movement between areas creates the impression of a broader world, breaking up the routine of staying within the clinic. However, the exploration itself is relatively limited and serves more as a connective element rather than a fully developed feature. It provides context for the rescue missions but does not significantly expand the gameplay in terms of freedom or discovery. Progression in the game is tied to completing tasks efficiently and improving the rescue center. As players successfully treat animals and fulfill their responsibilities, they gain access to new areas and more complex cases. While this system offers a sense of advancement, it does not drastically change how the game is played. The core loop remains consistent throughout, which can make the later stages feel similar to the earlier ones. This steady but unchanging structure contributes to the game’s relaxing nature, but it also limits its ability to sustain long-term engagement. Visually, the game adopts a straightforward 3D style that focuses on clarity rather than detail. The environments and character models are functional and easy to read, but they lack the refinement and visual depth seen in more modern simulation titles. The presentation supports the gameplay without drawing much attention to itself, reinforcing the game’s simple and accessible design. The audio follows a similar approach, providing a calm and unobtrusive backdrop that complements the overall tone without becoming a defining feature. What ultimately defines the experience is its accessibility and its focus on creating a low-pressure environment. The game does not rush the player or demand high levels of precision, making it suitable for those who prefer a more relaxed approach to gaming. It is particularly well-suited for younger audiences or players who are interested in animal care but do not want to engage with complex management systems. At the same time, this simplicity can make the game feel limited for those seeking deeper mechanics or more engaging challenges. In the end, My Vet Practice – Marine Patrol offers a gentle and sincere simulation that prioritizes theme and accessibility over depth. It provides a consistent and easy-to-understand experience centered on caring for marine life and promoting environmental awareness. While it may not deliver the complexity or variety expected by more experienced players, it succeeds in creating a calm and approachable world that fulfills its intended purpose. It is a game that values simplicity and message over innovation, resulting in an experience that is pleasant but ultimately modest in scope. Rating: 6/10
