“I like dogs”, would begin Connor of Detroit: Become Human thinking of Sumo, the dog of Hank Anderson. In fact, we fully agree and, if we could, we would probably fill the photo gallery of our smartphone with various shots of all kinds. Well, that’s what we can do in Pupperazzi.
In this case we take on the role of a camera, complete with articulated legs and arms. A rather funny facet but which perfectly expresses what any animal lover would do: take pictures and pamper any puppy we meet on the street.
In Pupperazzi, however, we are catapulted into a world dominated by hundreds of dog breeds. What amazed (and amused) us is their way of life that is completely different from reality. In fact, we found motorcycle dogs, skateboarding experts and a thousand other bizarre activities. In short, if in Nintendogs we could see our dogs dabbling in Agility, now they conquer the urban streets … driving scooters. All this has turned into a delicious cocktail of sweetness mixed with madness. It is a fundamental balance, otherwise the game would have proved uninvolving and would have tired almost immediately.
Let’s give you an example: we turned around and suddenly spotted a dog intent on doing a triple somersault on the skateboard. In short, a videogame context that is certainly not very realistic, but full of pleasant interactions. Here comes the beauty: the core of the gameplay is based on the photographs you take of the dogs, which will also allow you to gain many followers. As? By publishing each shot on dogNET, a social network obviously dedicated to our puppies. Well, this last facet is very important: having a specific number of followers will allow you to continue with the game.
Gradually you will then have access to new areas, each with different climatic conditions and times to capture the perfect shot. However, the number of films for taking pictures is limited. To get some, you can recycle the unconvincing photos or leave the area (thus resetting all unsaved photos). You can also immortalize nostalgic dogs in black and white, or opt for the Fisheye lens. In short, whether there was a beautiful sunset, a gloomy or sunny day, it was a very pleasant and dynamic gaming experience.
However, several missions have surrounded the gameplay, sometimes challenging us with some nice riddles. Well, it sure can seem like a rather monotonous and repetitive game. Despite this, we were able to buy new toys for dogs and, above all, new filters and lenses to personalize the photos more. The new products are in fact available from a distributor located in specific areas, whose form of transaction is a bone.
This means having to wander around the small maps in search of these golden bones, often hidden in very strategic points. To make the gameplay even more dynamic is the possibility to play with the puppies in many different ways. You can even dress them up to make the photos even more spectacular, but it will be really difficult not to pamper them one by one.
While you are scratching a poodle, you will suddenly be faced with a thick, soft and majestic Golden Retriever. It will be there that he will look at you with his dark, sweet eyes, and all he wants is your attention. Immediately after, however, you will hear barking behind you: a splendid German shepherd who with a Frisbee in his mouth will invite you to play. You will be surrounded by wonderful creatures that will fill your time with smiles and sweetness.
As for the technical aspect, the game turned out to be quite fluid. The animations, however, are woody and not very believable, while the graphic aspect is rather simple. Nonetheless, a beautiful color palette has been selected, capable of enhancing any setting. The different climatic conditions have allowed us to capture very pleasant landscapes: a sunset by the sea, a boat illuminated by the moon and much more.
Of course, your followers will not like landscape photos: the undisputed protagonists will have to be dogs. However, Pupperazzi will allow you to show off a camera and use it in any way you want, among other things with a really pleasant speed of movement.
We will be clear: it is, of course, a very lighthearted game and aimed at animal lovers. Having clarified these assumptions, we believe it is a very genuine experience, among other things perfect to stream for a fun and relaxing live. Believe us, it doesn’t happen that often to see dogs doing stunts on the roofs of buildings (and thank goodness!).
