Critic Reviews
The game could be more polished, with lag and weird choices in camera zooms, though not outright terrible enough to get mad at. While the visuals don’t look bad, the music is forgettable.
Kira C · Sep 26, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewDespite deriving a lot of its influences from games like Animal Crossing, especially with its island life and anthropomorphic animal inhabitants, Hokko Life severely lacks in personality and unique identity.
Kara Phillips · Sep 26, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewHokko Life achieves neither. It's "We have Animal Crossing at home": The Game. On a platform already filled to bursting with games that offer original takes on wholesome crafting life, it's a particularly shallow imitation.
Kerry Brunskill · Sep 26, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewHokko Life is a well-developed cozy life sim that feels familiar enough to settle right into but has plenty of unique mechanics and creative freedom to keep even seasoned life sim players entertained for many hours of gameplay.
Juniper Finch · Sep 26, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewHokko Life may be the answer. The customizable crafting elements of the game are strong, and players can even share their designs with other players online in the game's city center.
Deven McClure · Sep 26, 2022 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewThe system is not intelligent enough to really react to your creativity. The latter-game ability to share these items with other players helps, but it arrived too late to really make a difference. Again, it’s a bit horse for courses: if you absolutely love creative freedom and LEGO-ing blocks together, then Hokko Life is a surprisingly versatile little game.
Dave Ozzy · Sep 27, 2022 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewHokko Life is a fun slice of life game that is worth a look for anyone wanting something more relaxed. The seemingly endless amount of things to see and do coupled with a charming aesthetic creates a stress-free and rewarding time, but does little to make itself stand out from similar titles.
Mike Crewe · Sep 26, 2022 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewHokko Life fits the bill for a simple, yet charming experience. For seasoned players, be mindful there is a slow burn to start and may be more suited to those who are newer to the genre. Whilst some mechanics are not intuitive for console play, Hokko Life on console still captures the creativity and calmness of the farming sim genre.
Kat Bullock · Sep 26, 2022 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewHokko Life takes the Animal Crossing formula and builds on it with additional gameplay elements and an innovative in-game clock. Its gameplay is addictive and there's a lot of fun to be had, especially if you enjoy crafting.
Mary Billington · Sep 26, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewIt may take time getting to show it, but Hokko Life is a delightfully deep and engaging community sim that lets you move at your own pace. Patience is very much required to see the best of it.
