In this pastel-coloured world, friendly forest animals dwell. They require your care and attention to help ‘The Tree of Happiness’ grow. If it wasn’t already apparent by now, this is vey much targeted at younger players.
For ‘The Tree of Happiness’ to grow, it’s up to you to collect happy sensations.
This is accomplished by feeding, petting, and having fun with the fuzzy little animals in the titular forest. It’s a mini-game package, basically – there are 15 video games to play in overall, in addition to the chance to rustle up some food, all in the name of increasing joy. Icons appear above characters’ heads which guides you with their requirements. There’s constantly help need to you require a tip.
You can take turns when fishing, product matching, racing, and playing the rhythm-based video games, or approximately 3 other gamers can take part.
The forest animals (bunny, mouse, squirrel, hamster, porcupine, flying squirrel, degu, capybara, and a beaver) are each a various colour, which assists to make them quickly appreciable. They can be customised with devices, and it’s possible to embellish the forest too.
This is a pleasant video game and best for kids and grownups who take pleasure in quick-fire mini-games. The tutorials can drag, however, which is a minor inconvenience if your kid has an attention deficit disorder – like mine.
There are a lot of factors to return and replay, that makes this extremely advise for kids who are yet to advance onto video games more complex. I even took pleasure in the music, which plays silently in the background, so as not to muffle the lovable squeaks and screeches.
Developed by Aksys Games, Cuddly Forest Friends is out now on Switch for £35.99. Available both digitally and at retail. In the words of Homer Simpson: “Look at those funny little whiskers.”
