Hello Kitty Island Adventure - Nintendo Switch

Pretty solid game — I was half expecting to be disappointed but was pleasantly surprised. Graphics are cute, there's tons of avatar and home customization, and the island is big so there's lots to explore. Game has plenty of quests and they all move at a pretty lax pace so you'll have stuff to do for a while. I've seen a lot of people try to compare this game to Animal Crossing but personally I'd say it's more like Disney Dreamlight Valley what with the little buddy/friendship system that it has... there are some aspects of the game that are dependent on real-world time, not necessarily all of them are though. I got this during the tech fest sale for about $25, which is honestly about the max I'd value this game at. If I had complaints about anything it would be some minor performance issues like the occasional bugginess and lag + loading screens are slow and the characters can feel a little bland at times. I can't say I regret my purchase though, the game's been pretty fun and I've gotten quite a bit of entertainment out of it. If you happen to catch it on sale I'd totally recommend snagging it.

What an adorable and warm cozy adventure game this is! I am a huge Animal Crossing fan and bought this game thinking it would be similar, but I was wrong. As soon as you open that casing, you are greeted by such a cute inner picture! Makes it twice worth it! On to the game: First you get to choose a cute chibi animal type avatar, then you are in a gentle plane with lots of Sanrio characters, and then things go crazy, giving a sense of danger for your avatar and the other characters, and then just like that, you descend safely using colorful balloons that will let you fall safely to this island, and thus the game begins. There are lots of quests to do, and some require 1 or even up to 4 (real time) days to complete. The game itself runs on its own clock and time so events that take place on day or night can be easily completed during your playthrough. You can even use beds to speed up the process of what time you want to be at. The game is very cozy, but there's lots of exploring to do, and you gradually get items and abilities unlocked that will allow you to expand your exploration and find more Sanrio characters to befriend. I particularly love My Melody and Kuromi, and Badtz Maru and Keropi are really fun, and Cinnamon Roll is so ADORABLE, I actually confused him for a female. Playing it on Switch 1 was great, but when I got the Switch 2 upgrade, while I do think it was expensive, it truly enhanced my experience with this game. Plays great either on handheld or TV, the underwater areas cause a lot of stutter, sadly, and I have not tried playing online. There are so many items to collect, a TON of daily things to do that you might even feel overwhelmed at some points sometimes, but it's all so good and worth it, and you can just relax and play at your leisure, as none of the quests have time limits. HOWEVER, the monthly events, which you unlock after you have enough of the Sanrio Characters befriended, do have a set time of beginning and end, so you may want to plan accordingly. Don't worry though, they are easy enough to collect items for, so you'll never feel like you're slacking... unless you are actually slacking on said events. TOTALLY recommend this game for those who love Cozy games.

This game is way better then buying animal crossing it better more fun and get things to do then conventional games that can get boring in 6 months.

I thought this game was going to be like an animal crossing rip off but it is so much more, this game has a lot of love put into it.

I been wanting this game for awhile. I finally bought it from the website and picked it up the same day. I'm having so much fun with this game! I've been playing it everyday since.
