« It’s the absolute coziest game I’ve ever played in my life. And that’s coming from someone with over 800 hours in Animal Crossing. :) Works like a dream on Deck, with highest graphics settings. »

« As a grown adult, I'm embarrassed how many hours I've sunk into this game. The game loop is well designed, making progression easy. There's always a task to do that's satisfying. »

« C'est un jeu vraiment relaxant et magique. On retrouve les personnages Disney dans un univers plein de charme où l’on peut explorer, décorer et créer à son rythme. Idéal si on aime les jeux calmes et immersifs. »

« Was supposed to be free after early acess, now not only it isnt free, but there is also paid expansions AND micro (rather macro) transactions for in-game cosmetics. Just really scummy and disappointing from their part. »

« Severely overpriced paywalls, still bugs, preys on nostalgia. I admit I fell for it, not anymore. Try games like Palia which are free to play and content isn't as overpriced like DDV. »

« Got this when it was still in early access. Gameloft made the distinct promise of releasing the game for free, but it's apparent that they broke this promise when looking at the game in today's state. $30 DLCs?!?!? Are you crazy? »
