Snapimals Love Amazing Animals 4+

Closest thing to Pokemon Snap with what we wanted all along with that N64 release: Snapanimals is an involved, long lasting game! There are so, so many reasons why I love this game so I’ll try to sum it up:
- The game requires regular visitation and commitment in game play, it takes time to unlock things and the guidance on what to do next is really stellar.
- There’s humor! Take the time to read the visitors, guests, and yes, pirates that are visiting your islands: hilarious while still being kid-appropriate. I still love hearing the Captain’s “whoaa!” every time.
- You can save your snapshots! Another part that makes the game long is only being able to sell three photos at a time, having to run multiple tours means you will indeed achieve the side missions overtime (which are conveniently tracked for you).
- Low bandwidth and low memory space absorption. It does take time to get used to navigating between docks, booths, and islands when clicking around; but for all it’s worth this is without a doubt a five-star game!

I love this game!!
Con: I’m now in a weird spot where I’ve almost completed all the photos on the first island and would like to expand to see new animals in order to earn money. However, I’m struggling with keeping up on coins and feel like I’m just seeing the same scenes over and over. I wanted to watch some of the videos because that’s an option on upgrades but every time I click them it says that they are not available. At first, I thought it was a glitch but it’s been happening for at least three weeks. I’ve also tried using both data and WiFi. I don’t plan on using this feature overly, just enough to get some variety because I would like this game to last as I love it!
If the video option is no longer going to be an option and that was a game choice, then I recommend removing it from the game altogether. Only because it adds another layer of frustration because it feels like there is something that could help but just isn’t working.

Pro: I would like to end with the good though. I have this game four stars because it deserves it. I struggle to find games that keep my attention for a long time. I’ll play for a while and then delete. I do not have that instinct with this game. There is variety with the animals and it feels different from other games because of the main goal. I’m always excited to see the different animals and actually care about expansions on my islands. I love the visitors comments as well.
