This game is more than just an adorable Sanrio-themed adventure—it’s an experience filled with depth, surprises, and meaningful connections. While it may not be perfect due to some pacing and repetitive task issues, its charm and warmth make it an unforgettable journey. If you’ve ever wanted a game where the main objective is to spread happiness and foster friendships, look no further. And if you’re still chuckling at the South Park joke about Hello Kitty Island Adventure, just wait until you find yourself completely immersed, losing hours to its irresistibly cozy charm.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure is a wonderful combination of building friendships, questing, exploring, and collecting, all set in a bright and colourful world. I wasn’t sure if the Hello Kitty cuteness and the daily nature of progress would work for me, but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the game. Even though we are at the start of 2025, Hello Kitty Island Adventure is a strong contender for one of my games of the year.

Exploring an island full of surprises, while helping our friends, and building a community alongside these iconic characters was truly an incredible experience. The visuals are very cute and harmonize well with the proposal and tone, and the same goes for the songs, the characters then, are pure fun and comfort, from Pochaco, to Ponponpurin and passing by Cinamoroll, all of my favorites brought and continue to bring me smiles and laughs and continuing on this island has become a part of my routine. From the isometric exploration with puzzles, to the management, friendship system, everything went well for me and the expansive scope of the game takes everything to a level that I don't think most would expect from a licensed game, and although it is not the most daring of games in this genre, it does it quite competently and brings a solid asset with these important characters in the cast.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure is a delightful life sim that suffers from performance issues on the Nintendo Switch. The breadth of content to take part in is impressive, and the characters and dialogue are filled with charm. It’s a shame the technical performance is so all over the place because the game itself is a blast all around.
