Aniimo

This game is solid for something chill to play. As a 44 year old man, my gaming time is mostly a time for relaxing. I don't play too much competitive anymore, and I like what this game offers. The beginning tutorial part is a bit exhaustive and could turn people away, but in sticking with it, I really enjoy the freedom of gameplay. Want to explore? Do it. Want to collect the Aniimos? Do it. Want to fight everything? Do it. The Aniimos evolve, and I like that many have multiple evolutions and some require specific achievements to unlock, which makes getting them feel like an accomplishment. Graphically, I enjoy what this game has going with everything outside of the created character. I wish I had the option to make an adult character. I don't really care for my character's appearance. I like that not only can you fight with your Aniimos, you can "Twine" with them and actually take control of them. Combat feels fun. There's also a lot more going on gameplay wise that you unlock as you go. Today I found the home area you unlock where you can customize your own property, and begin a whole farming and crafting mechanic where Aniimos of different types can do various jobs. They continue to do this while you play the game or go offline. Very neat. Its Free To Play. Up to this point, I have seen no need to pay if you don't want to. I haven't felt limited by anything or hit a paywall. It does suffer from the dizzying amount of currencies F2P games tend to have, but if you click on an item, it tells you what it is or is used for. Might as well check out the game if you're interested. It costs you nothing but your time.

I’m currently level 45, and honestly, I don’t really understand the complaints about Aniimo being pay-to-win or supposedly requiring you to spend money to progress. So far, I haven’t encountered any kind of paywall. Everything I’ve needed has been obtainable through normal gameplay, and progression has felt fair and reasonable to me. I’ve also seen people claim that you need to pay once you reach around level 35 because of the Sparkling Aniipods, but that simply hasn’t been my experience at all. You can get Sparkling Aniipods for free through gameplay, events and by farming them. Yes, farming takes some time, but… that’s kind of the point of a free-to-play live-service game. Not everything is supposed to be instantly available. I’m not saying the monetization is perfect or that nobody can dislike it, but based on my experience up to level 50, I haven’t felt forced to spend any money whatsoever. I’ve been able to progress, farm what I need, and enjoy the game without paying. For a free-to-play live-service game, I think the current system is pretty fair. If you’re interested in Aniimo but are worried that you’ll be forced to spend money to progress, I’d say give it a try yourself rather than relying solely on those claims. So far, I’m having a great time with it and definitely recommend giving it a chance. 👍 Sadly, I had to disable comments because of some personal attacks from people who dislike the game. I guess that’s just the internet sometimes. x)) - there have been more positive then negativ comments tho

Fun game, but needs to fix coop so we can do quests together!
