    If you’ve been hungry for a pet breeding simulator to arrive on the Nintendo Switch, this will certainly scratch that itch. But, if you’re after something more satisfying to chew on, the shallow and repetitive gameplay are likely to disappoint.

    Little Friends: Dogs & Cats is a bit of a wasted opportunity. Too few content, too little gameplay, for a game that could have become the new Nintendogs.

    Little Friends: Dogs & Cats is a great virtual pet simulator for children but I feel sadly it doesn't cater for much more than that. It's adorable and there's nothing better than some doggo's in a game but my play-time felt shortened by some of the restrictions. It has a lot of potential but with no real originality I just felt something was missing whilst I was playing it.

    Adorable they may be, but having a virtual dog or cat was an already old idea that somehow has even less features and charm on newer hardware. Proof that not everything needs to come to Switch.

    Little Friends: Dogs & Cats allows the player to live a simulated experience of raising a pet. It is a shallow one, clearly aimed at kids, but it can work as an idle game if you’re after this kind of experience.

    ​Little Friends delivers on its promises, but its failure to do more to capture my attention left me mildly disappointed. The dogs and cats are adorable, and there are many outfits to buy and customize. But after the daily feeding and watering of your friends is over, the gameplay becomes a little rote. Perhaps a more laid back player will find this charming game amusing enough to occupy their sparse free-time.

    Unlike Nintendogs, Little Friends isn’t a meditative game in which you joyfully play with and e-cuddle a bunch of adorbs animals. Instead, it’s a laborious slog in which strengthening your bond with your virtual pets takes too long, and the end results aren’t worth the time invested.

    I personally enjoy the grind to level up your cat or dog. It gives you something to work for instead of it being handed to you.

    So "Little Friends: Dogs & Cats" can be recommended at short notice for in between or for small children. But after a certain time the gameSo "Little Friends: Dogs & Cats" can be recommended at short notice for in between or for small children. But after a certain time the game simply runs out of air. Although the dogs and cats are nicely animated, the challenges and tasks simply repeat themselves too much. If you like to help animals and would like to spend time with them, maybe you should contact a club or animal shelter. There you can help real animals and also experience their fun and joy.
