Adore

It may be a little uneven, but Adore nonetheless stands out from the pack as an innovative new entry in the monster-catching RPG subgenre. The fast-paced combat, detailed team customization, and high level of replayability all make this one easy to recommend, though we say this with the qualifier that performance could be better and the gameplay loop can get pretty grindy. All the same, we'd give this one a recommendation to anyone looking for an interesting new monster catcher - it's a welcome addition to the genre and we hope to see its ideas further explored in future games.

Adore tries to combine action roguelike mechanics with creature collecting, but a few novel ideas fail to save an overall repetitive grind.

In conclusion, Adore is a game that guarantees a fun experience regardless of your level. It’s easy and intuitive enough for you to learn its mechanics and then tricky enough to be a challenge without boring you. With the weather turning cold, I know I’ll spend many more hours in the world of Adore.

Adore puts an action twist on the monster-catching formula to try to make Pokemon for people who get bored playing Pokemon.

I enjoyed Adore for the things that it did differently with its creature collecting and real-time combat, I could have done without the roguelike systems. But even with that going against it I still had a great time playing Adore, collecting creatures, theory crafting for that perfect team and the combat system still has its hooks in me, despite the overused roguelike system.

Adore is a cute little game that might scratch the monster collection itch, but at the same time there are so many games like Temtem that just do it so much better. If you’re looking for a budget game, Adore might be just what you’re looking for with plenty of replay-ability and the rogue-like concept. Outside of that though, this game is most likely a skip for most people who have the option of other games.

Adore is an exceptional action creature collection game that redefines boundaries. The innovative summoning mechanics establish a rare harmony between gameplay and narrative. The emotional bond with Adorables, intense battles, and exploration coalesce into an unforgettable experience.

Adore has some good ideas, especially when it comes to its fun combat system, but also the slight sense of wasted potential for a game that spent so much time in early access. Still, if the promise of collecting creatures and building the best team possible for fast-paced real-time combat appeals to you, there's plenty to enjoy here. Here's hoping, then, that in an eventual (and more ambitious) sequel, being a worshiper will be less repetitive and even more exciting.

Adore is a smart and addictive videogame with important messages at its core. Even if it's nothing new, it's still an experience to be had. Must have absolutely.

Adore is an ambitious Brazilian indie game that attempts to bring faster and more dynamic action to the monster collection game genre. Created by the developers Cadabra Games, the game is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox, Switch, and PC. However, despite the interesting game concept, “Adore” presents a series of challenges that influence the overall experience.
