the lack of voice acting has been breaking my heart. my 4 year old has beaten astro bot multiple times because it has basically no text, but he struggles with kirby & the forgotten land and mario wonder. he would love a pokemon game but they are... dense with text, and this looks to be the same.
It's tough. I understand VO is expensive, but I'd genuinely be okay with the kind of dictation you get for "voice over" functionality. It doesn't have to be the voice of Bluey, it's just the voice of someone who is not mom or dad, you know?
I like your bio, Patrick! I, too, am a lifelong gamer in my early 40s, but I have two sons instead of two daughters. I’m currently writing a book to provide encouragement to gaming dads, which is why I started my Substack. Keep up the great stuff!
I am really excited about this game, despite the eye-watering price tag 🫠 I think it’ll be one to keep in the back pocket for when baby is older! Good luck with yours, I hope they love it 🥳
one person’s busywork is another one’s “cozy.” - YES!!! 😮💨😮💨😮💨
