June 2025

Such a beautiful game, both in terms of the visuals and the moving plotline. This game was like a book I couldn't put down. A really well-balanced mix of wholesome and uplifting, and heartfelt and sad in a meaningful way that gave it a lot of depth. I felt the age-range was roughly YA and up? It felt quite young-person friendly and *sometimes* felt it was pitched quite young (no bad thing), but had themes that are probably too heavy for actual children and the gameplay and story was nevertheless very engaging for me in my 30s. In terms of time and replayability, I didn't worry too much about getting 100%, just enjoyed the story and the challenges as they came, and my first playthrough took me 22hrs. I can definitely see myself playing it through again - both to relive the story and to challenge myself to get 100%, but I also definitely think I'll take a break first because I need time for the story to settle before I go back to see all the characters and the world at the start of their arc again. I came to this game hoping for something to scratch the itch I've had since finishing Season: A Message to the Future, so just in case anyone else is here for the same reason, it did do that for me! In conclusion, beautiful game, moving plotline that had depth but also lots of light, I loved it.

April 2025

This was an absolute hidden gem! The story was fun but certainly not groundbreaking. It was rather predictable but that didn't take away from the characters or the world. The game play was repetitive but not stagnant or boring. I found the combat just challenging enough for the chill style of game that it was intended to be. The game peaked my interest but I mostly got it because I was in my trophy hunting era. It honestly blew me away! I went in, planning to earn the trophies in a single play through and just get through it. Each time, I found myself overjoyed to boot it up and hop back in. I honestly wish I could go back and play through it again and I have no doubt that someday I will. I don't know how else to explain it other than a hidden gem. If you like more wholesome games with a quaint little story, just enough challenge to engage your brain but not wear you out, ABSOLUTELY pick this up. You will not regret it.

Beautiful game. I haven't finished it yet, but I've played a few hours now and the gameplay is incredibly enjoyable. The mechanics are unique and fun. Good story, wholesome vibes. The art is beautiful and aesthetically appealing to look at. The characters are interesting and enjoyable to interact with. The main character is adorable and easy to fall in love with. Vic's a lil cutie. The creatures are awesome, too. Honestly going into this game I thought it was going to be more pokemon like? I'm glad I was wrong. I've seen a lot of people complain about DEI/the fact that the main character is black and I just don't understand why this is even a focal point of why someone would want to play the game. While playing it, I have not felt like this was an "agenda" of any sorts. The main character, Vic, is ABSOLUTELY adorable. If you're mad she's black, that's a you problem. Not every video game character has to be an edgy white woman with red hair or aggressively stoic white man. You will BE OKAY. I bring this up because people seem to like to use this as a reason the game didn't blow up, but honestly that sounds ridiculous to me. I'm the first person to call out pandering when I see it, this ain't it. Likely the reason this game didn't blow up is due to poor advertisement/marketing. I only found out about this game because of a cozy game group I'm part of. Anyway if you're on the fence about this game, I'd say give it a shot/grab it when it's on sale if you're worried about the price tag. It's a good game.

Jan. 2025

Creatures of Ava is everything I ever wanted in a game: an open world creature collector that doesn't involve fighting. The controls were easy to get used to on the steam deck, and the graphics can be adjusted for performance or visual quality. Regardless of the setting, though, it's a visually stunning game. I love the colourful creatures and the musical aspect of taming. Now, the game does take a refreshing stance on ideas such as conservation, intervention, and the role of entropy in the life cycle, but it's presented in a way that makes these concepts easier for younger players to understand.

Dec. 2024

Personally I found that after a few hours it was getting repetitive -- the central concept is just solve some puzzles using creature abilities and rescue a number of those creatures. Once I cleared the first area they introduced me to some new creatures inhabiting a new region and it was rinse and repeat -- so I gave up at that point. The landscapes are quite beautiful though, the creatures are cute, and there's a lot of running around and exploring, so if you're into cute animals and exploration you'll probably like this game more than I did. Overall I recommend it, but it wasn't one of my favourites.
