VGChartz’s Evan Norris: “In South Park’s “Make Love, Not Warcraft”, Butters’ classmates chide him for picking Hello Kitty Island Adventure over their preferred gaming experience. But there’s a time and a place for games like this one, particularly in this lull between Animal Crossing releases. Indeed, if you’re looking for a low-stakes, relaxing life sim to carry you over to 2027, or whenever Nintendo decides to release the sequel to New Horizons, you could do a lot worse than Hello Kitty Island Adventure. It’s colorful and cozy, and packed with things to do and discover — as long as you can overcome its faults.”
