The game has a lot of promise. The pets are adorable, and they have a variety of interactions such as feeding, tricks, and so on. But you cannot just applaud the concept and give it a pass. If a game is presented as a finished product, it should be finished, and the complaints need to be minimal. But Peridot doesn’t tick these boxes at all.

About
Discover the fantastical world of Peridot, a real-world adventure pet game where you raise, care for, and breed one-of-a-kind adorable creatures. After thousands of years of slumber, Peridots are waking to a vastly different world than the one they lived in, and need our help to protect them. Develop an emotional connection with these creatures while exploring the world together as you raise them to adulthood and work with other players to re-diversify their species.

Critic reviews
- 6.0The charm of Peridot’s cute creatures will bring a lot of curious players in the door, and if Niantic can build out the pet sim features some more they may even stick around. The tech is impressive and it feels like a platform that can grow and grow, but the cost of breeding is a deal breaker for me. I’ll be watching Peridot with much interest, but for now, I won’t be playing it.
- 8.0タマゴから多彩なペリドットが誕生し、ゲームを進めれば他プレイヤーのペリドットと交配させることもできる。
- 5.0Peridot è un titolo assai diverso dalle altre produzioni targate Niantic. Privo della competizione proposta da Ingress, della cattura e soprattutto dell’aspetto collezionistico che permettevano a Pokémon GO di sposare perfettamente un’esperienza del genere, il nuovo gioco mobile dell’azienda califoniana si presenta al momento come un Tamagotchi alquanto scarno e limitante, visto che il suo principale - per non dire unico - obiettivo prevede un notevole esborso di denaro reale.
