It’s that rare example of a game that can be played by under-7s without help, and a strong co-op feature means that you can share Adventure Bay with them. Kids might not care, but it’s indefensibly slight for the price. Kids WILL care that they don’t get to play as the titular Mighty Pups for more than a few moments, though. It’s a long demo that kids will love for a time: if that’s enough for you, then go fetch."
TGG says: "Since I’m 33 years old at the time of writing, I figured I’m probably not the target audience for this game. So I called in a team of experts (= my kids) and asked them their opinions about the game instead. My son Lio (2.5yo) and daughter Fé (6yo) will be sharing their firsthand experiences with the game in this family-review."
CCG writes - "Paw Patrol: Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay follows the eight main pups (Chase, Marshall, Rubble, Skye, Rocky, Zuma, Everest, and Tracker) as they encounter a mysterious meteor in Adventure Bay. After extracting it from the ground, they are all hit with it and gain powers based on their personality: Chase, the loveable police dog, gets super speed; boisterous bulldog Rubble gets super strength, and the like. Oddly enough, Tracker doesn’t get a superpower or a neat costume, which also follows the conventions of the television miniseries. With these new powers, players will assume control of two pups as they explore different environments to help the people and animals of Adventure Bay."
While Paw Patrol is not particularly original and lacks any real ability to maintain a consistent theme or narrative, it has earned its keep as one of television’s most impactful children’s shows in recent years and a natural fit for the world of video games.
