A real shame. It's adorable and has some good merits and it's obviously aimed at a younger audience but it just drags on and on and on, I dunno if it could keep a child's attention long enough to interest them.
Wake up, activate a tiny chunk of a customers story line and ''explore'', go to sleep and do it all again.
I just ended up sleep skipping through the last 5 guests, I was sick of it.
Story is slow and boring, characters are cliche and unoriginal, gameplay is slow and boring, controls are clunky and floaty, you get stuck on everything and helping out in the cafe sucks, your ''helpers'' just get in the way and shove you around constantly.
And the dragon sucks too! no matter what age he is.
You are constantly getting on and off of it to pick stuff up and the stamina bar for flying just slows down the game as much as looking for 4-19 ducks every 3 days does.
Most of the game just feels like a huge time sink.
And unskippable credits which pause whenever you tab out that just force their way into the end right before the climax of the story and force you to wait til for the closing scene.
It took me 42 hours to beat the story with all but the ingredient and recipe achievements and I'm quite annoyed I put so much effort into it, but it was a gift to me so I got all I could out of it. I'd never buy this for myself or anyone else though...
Might be worth £6.49 if you're into monotonous games but definitely not £46.49.
