- 9.0Animal Well è un piccolo sogno e un grande gioiello: un metroidvania originale dalle meccaniche uniche, che descrive un mondo che difficilmente riuscirete a dimenticare. La sua struttura di gameplay e i suoi puzzle lo pongono, senza dubbio alcuno, come uno fra i migliori esponenti del suo genere da dover necessariamente vivere e fare proprio.
- 8.5It especially shined in moments when something finally clicked about how to use a tool, or when I found a precious item – it’s a bit like finding a roast turkey hidden within a wall in Castlevania.

- 9.5'Animal Well' es un excelente juego de puzles que con la forma de un 'metroidvania' sin combate cautiva y sorprende con su brillante ritmo, un diseño magistral y un universo precioso y mágico.
- Animal Well is a relatively simple game at its core, with little in the way of an overarching mystery or narrative to push you along. And while the lack of long-term hooks sometimes makes the game feel a bit slight, the single-minded attention to the in-the-moment pleasure of the gameplay creates a focus that is meditative rather than expansive. Animal Well isn’t some grand adventure or sweeping artistic statement. It’s just a boatload of tiny interconnected puzzles, woven together to form an almost unimaginably intricate web.
