WTMG's Leo Faria: "As a cynical adult, I obviously find Paw Patrol: Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay to be one of the most basic gaming experiences I’ve had in years. But I am not its core audience. When you assess it through the eyes of a toddler, this is actually a pretty decent game. The visuals emulate the show with perfection, the controls are polished, and the music is catchy. It’s very easy, to the point a five year old can probably platinum it, all while feeling accomplished as a result. As far as educational and preschool-oriented games go, Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay is easily one of the best out there."
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.
