Hello Kitty Island Adventure Reviews
Fun and Casual
Hello Kitty Island Adventure received a score of 62/100 from Game8, highlighting its Charming Sanrio Characters, Vibrant World, and Plenty of Content to Discover. However, they also criticized the game for having No Meaningful Sense of Progression, Puzzles That Lack Depth and Variety, and Visual Glitches. IGN gave the game a 6/10, stating that while it might appeal to Sanrio fans and fill the gap left by Animal Crossing: New Horizons on the surface—with its colorful world, adorable characters, and constant tasks—the experience ultimately feels shallow. The gameplay is weighed down by repetitive gifting and mindless tasks, locked behind daily progression gates that make the journey feel stagnant.
On Metacritic, the game holds a score of 79. Critics noted that while it might not be worth switching for those already playing the mobile version due to the lack of cross-save support, newcomers will likely enjoy the experience. On Steam, user reviews are Very Positive, with a 4.5-star rating. Players praised the game’s charm and fun factor, though some criticized the amount of content compared to similarly priced cozy games.
