Two words I never thought I would say in the same sentence are “bold” and “Sanrio,” so let’s savour this together. Hello Kitty Island Adventure is a very bold statement from Sanrio. The idea of putting out a game that is so clearly inspired by Animal Crossing would be daunting to most companies, but here we are. Join all of your favourite Hello Kitty characters as they venture to a strange island, set up shop, help out friends, and decorate!

Hello Kitty Island Adventure is a fantastic title for children, and adults will probably enjoy their time with it too. Plus it runs great on the Steam Deck.

This means that while players could access the same content, eventually, new players were forcibly unable to catch up with day-one players. Since there is no cross-platform play nor cross-save feature, and everyone will be required to start fresh, this won’t be as much of an issue for Switch or PC players if the trend continues, but it's still unclear how this would work alongside the mobile version of the game. Moreover, even if console players are behind mobile players, it will not impact the individual experience as the events themselves will still be simultaneous for players on all platforms...

Hello Kitty Island Adventure is an incredible, cozy game with great exploration that lets you live with Sanrio's unique characters. I enjoyed the experience of reaching each biome, fishing and catching insects. However, everything was fun and games until I remembered this was a re-release for more platforms. So, the lack of new content was underwhelming.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure is cute and colorful, but the mindless tasks and artificially slow pace of its daily progression make it suited for little more than filling up the dull moments of daily life.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure proves an innovative entry into the social sim genre. While borrowing from multiple powerhouse games, it brings a fresh experience that is likely to subvert the expectations of any Animal Crossing expats looking for their next cosy fix.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure is your new favorite cozy exploration game. While it looks similar to others in the genre, once you start playing, the truth is that there is nothing like Hello Kitty Island Adventure when it comes to exploration.

In a saturated market with games clambering to echo the soul of Animal Crossing, Hello Kitty Island Adventure has finally grabbed that baton and ran with it. It ticks every box in what I want from this genre, chucking every possible game mechanic at the player to play around with so there’s never a dull moment, and probably won't be for quite a while. My only gripe is that I had to stop playing it in order to write this review!

If any franchise felt like it was already built up for an Animal Crossing-style game, it’s the Sanrio universe. Hello Kitty Island Adventure was an absolute delight to explore with plenty to keep me coming back and seeing what else it had to offer each day. I won’t claim to be anywhere near that minimum 40-hour possibility, but I also feel like there’s enough here to keep me interested in getting to that amount of playtime with relative ease. The performance could be better, and I feel like some might be annoyed by the daily constraints the game has, but...
