Another day, another PS+ freebie.
Doki-Doki Universe is a weird fucking game. It's sort of an adventure game littered with a bunch of personality quizzes. The art is really cool and the characters are interesting, but the puzzles are pretty shitty so far. The quizzes are easily the best part of the game.
You play as a robot who was stranded on a little planet for years, when an alien comes to pick him up for reprogramming due to being obsolete. There are a ton of little planets to explore, mainly to talk to people and prove your "humanity" to the alien so that he doesn't deprogram you.
It's weird, most of the game is about giving stuff to people. They have little character sheets that show you their likes, dislikes and favorite greeting. There's some good use of the touch screen and back touch as well. The only problem is that the inventory is basically a bunch of stickers and it's hard to sort through. Not to mention that everything in this game moves at a snails pace. Text, menus, loading, everything. The framerate isn't great either, and it's all in 2D...
The personality quizzes are amazing though and it's what kept me playing honestly. They use very cute artwork, creative questions and have been pretty fucking spot on so far. It's really cool and I wish the game was more focused on the quizzes, as weird as that is to say about a video game.
