The Animals of Disney Dreamlight Valley

This post contains affiliate links.

 

Disney Dreamlight Valley is a popular game with lots of content. I had waited for years to play it. I have now spent most of my summer playing this game, and I loved every second. I loaned the game from the library, and unfortunately the DLCs weren't included.

 

 

Dreamlight Valley is a very addictive game. It was difficult for me to stop playing it. There's so much to do. After 180 hours of playtime I finally finished all the quests of the base game. Well, almost all of them.

 

 

 

Disney Dreamlight Valley characters

Disney has so many iconic characters, and not all of them are (yet) in the game. From the start Merlin, Mickey Mouse, Scrooge McDuck and Goofy are there. A bit later Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse and Daisy join the fun. Along the way the player unlocks more characters, biomes and realms.

 

 

What I personally hate that the Fairy Godmother is in the game, but there's no Cinderella. She happens to be my favorite Disney Princess, along with Jasmine and Belle. I'm sure she's going to be added to the game at some point. But is she gonna be free content? I doubt it.

 

 

My favorite character in the game has to be Nala. I must admit that I have never even seen The Lion King, even thought I have wanted to for literally decades. I especially want to see the original version, because there actor Jonathan Taylor Thomas is voicing young Simba. Yes, I used to be a big fan of Home Improvement. 

 

 

Nala in Dreamlight Valley is simply very adorable. Makes me want to see the movie. So thanks to this game I'm finally going to loan that movie from the library, luckily it's there.

 

 

Another adorable character is Frozen's Olaf, I fell in love with him too. That's yet another movie I haven't seen. I guess it would be easier to list the movies I have seen.

 

 

My favorite Disney movies are Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast, and characters from those are in the game. I especially love Belle in this game, she's a quiet book nerd, just like me. 

I like Scar's negative attitude towards everything. 

 

 

Among my favorites is also Donald Duck, he's so funny in his anger. And yet also so polite.

 

 

But when it comes to Prince Eric... I want him for myself, so step away, Ariel. I haven't seen The Little Mermaid either. 

That is one thing missing from Dreamlight Valley, romantic relationships for the playable character. I suppose it's undestandable, it would be too horrible to steal spouses of well known and iconic characters. But I got used to romance in My Time-series, and it's hard to be without.

 

 

I don't like the game's latest addition, Peter Pan. I have always hated his misogynistic attitude, or his attitude in general. 

 

Dreamlight Valley's Cheshire Cat

Disney Dreamlight Valley is full of animals. From Lion King's Simba and Nala to Alice in Wonderland's Cheshire Cat. This cat is a bit quirky, and likes to cause mayhem and disappear. But I love him anyway.

 

 

 

Dreamlight Valley's Companion Animals

Squirrels (peanut), rabbits (carrots), turtles (seaweed), raccoons (blueberry), foxes (white sturgeon), crocodiles (lobster), sunbirds (flowers that match their feather color), ravens (5 star meals). Those are the companion animals of the base game, and listed after them are their favorite foods. You have to feed them so that they'll become your friends. Then you can choose to have them with you on your adventures. They also gather extra resources and backpack slots for you. 

 

 

There are also some special companions, such as Magic Carpet from Aladdin. 

The DLCs have even more companion animals. My favorite of them is the capybara, I wished to get one.

The Premium Shop also sometimes has companions, including cats. 

 

 

 

Disney Dreamlight Valley Trophies

This game lost me at trophies.

With better/more trophies I would have bought this game. Because of the lack of trophies I only loaned Dreamlight Valley from the library.

With implementing more/lot of trophies the game makers can only win. Every game should have at least story trophies, and a game like this could have soo many trophies. But no, Gameloft chose a different path.

Whenever I'm planning on buying a game I always check the trophies first. No platinum? Not interested. Not many trophies and/or all the trophies hard to get? I'll pass. 

 

 

Still I enjoyed every second of Disney Dreamlight Valley, and wished there were even more free content to play. This is a great game for Disney fans, and for those who love cozy games.

 

 

 

Little Kitty, Big City: Game Review (PS5)

I had waited for a full year to play this game. And finally, on its first birthday, cat game Little Kitty, Big City came to PS5/PS4. Only as a digital version though, I haven't been able to find any information about a physical copy. When you buy it for Playstation you get both the PS4 and PS5 versions, so two games for the price of one.

 

 

Little kitty is peacefully enjoying a nap on a windowsill, when a disaster happens. The cat falls down to the big city below. Now the kitty has to find a way back home. Along the way the cat meets other animals, and faceless humans.

 

 

 

I became addicted to this game. The open world area isn't that big, but there are surprisingly lot of things to do. From rescuing ducks and collecting hats to catching (and releasing!) birds, just to name a few. There are some (very easy) puzzles.

 

 

Ducks

Besides several cats the game has other animals aswell. One of the cutest missions is to find four ducklings and return them back to their worried father.

 

 

If you rescue the ducks before returning home, you encounter them again while climbing towards home. One strange thing about ducks is that they love water, unlike our hero little kitty.

 

 

There's another quest which requires you to bring four rubber ducks to the pond. I wondered where the pond is, but it is the same one where the real ducks have to be returned.

 

 

Climbing back home 

And don't worry about returning home. Even after doing that you can keep playing the game. In fact it is even easier then, because all the collectibles will be marked on the map.

To be able to climb back home the kitty needs energy, and for that it needs to find four fish. One of them has to be stolen from a fisherman, and the last one is on a high rooftop.

 

 

Hat Simulator

In the game you can collect hats. That is one of the features I loved about Goat Simulator, and it's great to have that here aswell. You can collect hats from the environment, and buy them from vending machines.

 

  

 

Was this game worth the wait? Was it worth the relatively high price of over 20 euros? Oh yes. I played the game through twice, both PS5 and PS4 versions. I couldn't get enough of the little kitty's adventures.

 

Little Kitty, Big City Game vs. Stray

Which cat game is better? It's a matter of opinion. For me Little Kitty, Big City is the second best cat game, right after the acclaimed Stray (affiliate link). We need more great cat games like these, and I'm certainly hoping that there'll be a sequel to Little Kitty, Big City!

Little Kitty, Big City merch is available on their official store. How much I'd want this shirt below, and a certain skirt. Too bad that too many clothes have polyester (ie plastic) in them.
