  While not the most complex game in the world, Penko Park is an adorable ride through a creepy little zoo of the cutest little creatures and a relaxing time for a casual experience.While not the most complex game in the world, Penko Park is an adorable ride through a creepy little zoo of the cutest little creatures and a relaxing time for a casual experience.

  It’s the type of game that’s easy to pick up and pass the time, as well as one you can get lost in. Its graphics are really cool, and I ran into no problems with glitches or any of the animations looking off. Though there’s a clear and simple goal to the game, there’s also more to do than just that.

  This isn’t a long game: you’ll likely complete Penko Park in three or four hours, but it’s the sort of lovely, relaxing adventure that’s perfect to escape into for a short time. Its art style is wonderful, and the spot of humour injected into it through various signs you can interact with is a nice touch.

  Despite its repetitiveness and short length, Penko Park is still a wonderfully charming successor to Pokémon Snap. From the delightfully creepy atmosphere to some fresh new upgrade ideas, Penko Park is successful in both honoring its roots and creating its own identity.

  Overall, Penko Park is a real joy. Although its simplicity may leave those after a more complex experience wanting more, it's an enjoyable photography game with a great setting. And above all else, its various creatures will keep players coming back for more.

  It has some irritating quirks and could’ve used a bit more padding in the content and story departments, but for what it is, I think it does the job.
