I decided to start in order when revisiting the corner shop series. The second one holds a near and dear place in my heart simply due to nostalgia. Meanwhile each of the corner shops have their own uniqueness to them, some of them shine better than others. There are some that feel more like a slug to get through, particularly the music shop one which is just unbearable (the music never changes!). They're all quite repetitive in nature despite its tiny changes as you level up each store. Apart from the shops, the "care" section of the tamagotchi game is essentially useless. There is a contrived shopping mechanic. The items you can buy for your tamagotchi are expensive, and you have to constantly buy them. For instance, if you buy them a certain clothing then buy a different one, if you want the previous clothes you'll have to buy them again. Apart from my many issues with the game, I could not put it down. It became addicting to level up all my stores, hoping that Kuchipachi's father or the Princess would be the next one to enter one of my shops. Its repetitive nature, cute characters, and simple minigames became a great source of unwinding after work. That's why I can't help but give it 3/5 stars.
