Animal Shelter Simulator has a cute premise to care for dogs and cats. The gameplay is fun but can get repetitive. Also, the controls are clunky to start until you get used to them.
Read full review ↗The concept of Animal Shelter Simulator is really great. I like the idea of running my own animal shelter, and the game gives some great educational insights into animal care and management. However, the awkward use of the controls and the game’s instability left me feeling too frustrated to find it truly enjoyable. I hope the developers can spend more time improving Animal Shelter Simulator, as there is a really good game hiding in the current offering.
