Puppergeist is an adventure meant to be enjoyed as an experience, rather than as a challenge. While other rhythm games may battle to trip you up as a fast-paced, beat-driven game of musical Simon Says, Puppergeist won’t raise your heart rate as you explore the dog park of the undead.

It's hard for me to say, but Puppergeist felt to me like high school homework that you just have to power through.

With its varied rhythm mini-games, adorable art style and moving story, this title from Serenity Forge stands out as a charming and well-crafted little adventure – though you’ll need to have some tissues to hand.

Puppergeist is a cute and charming “Rhythm Heaven”-like that does well what it sets out to offer. Keeping in mind the simple concept and the intentionally short experience, the game is a pleasant surprise that manages to be interesting and fun.

Puppergeist delivers a pawsitively charming rhythm adventure with wonderful visuals, creative mini-games, and heartwarming stories that’ll tug your heartstrings. Its short journey and limited replay options leave it a little ruff around the edges, but there’s plenty of good boy goodness to enjoy.
