The verdict
A gorgeous, wordless, cozy multiplayer wander as an animal, best with other players around. Skip it if you want real gameplay, since servers are nearly empty and key animals need other purchases.
Great for
Players who want a relaxing, chat-free social stroll and love the Shelter art style, ideally with friends
Main risk
Servers are nearly empty, so the multiplayer core is missing and little else is left to do
What players love
Memorable meetups and group exploring
