Hello Kitty Island Adventure review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 1 month ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: January 30, 2025
Developer: Sunblink
Publisher: Sunblink
What exactly makes a “cozy game” these days? In many cases it seems to be a bit of a misnomer: for every one that transports you into a relaxed world with a gameplay loop that you can take at your own pace, you’ll find two more that will thrust you into a hellscape of seasonal crops, timed events, and needy NPCs that all require more time management and organizational skills than your actual life does. Hello Kitty Island Adventure is thankfully not one of these latter titles, but it hasn’t quite escaped unscathed from its time trapped on Apple Arcade, and this holds it back from being the experience that it feels like it should be on Nintendo Switch.
