Calico Reviews
Calico is a relaxing and whimsical game filled with adorable animals, a strong community of NPCs, and a fun cooking mechanic. It has a brilliant soundtrack that brings the world together. Calico is a game catered towards cozy/wholesome players of all ages, due to the simple controls. The game removes the feeling of having to grind out many hours to get everything leveled up, meaning players can just explore and be part of the world. However, it did leave me wanting more. There is something about the game that feels unfinished. I would love to see some extra game modes be added, whether this is working in the cafe, or opening up more decorating abilities. Seeing new animals be included would be great too, let’s get all the furry and scaley friends in the cafe.
What sounded like the combination of a management game, Animal Crossing, and The Sims turned out to be barely influenced by all three. If you’re looking for a relaxing Switch game where you can collect clothing, decorate your home, and hang out with animals, there is already the perfect game for you: Animal Crossing New Horizons. If you’ve already played it to the point of needing new joysticks, then there are plenty of other indie alternatives to pick up before giving Calico consideration.
Calico is a peaceful simulation game about collecting cats to live at your cat café, and helping your friends on a magical island. Simple, soothing fun.
Calico is a magical game about witches, cats, cute villagers and a cat café, what more could you want! While there is no denying that Calico has a few problems on the Switch, I hope this is a game that will be regularly updated and more added to the game in future. If you’re looking for a game to get lost in a whimsical, magical pink infused world where you can wear cats as hats then Calico is the game for you.
