A magical journey into a world bursting with wonder! Beasts of Maravilla Island is like stepping into a dream where every corner holds a new, dazzling creature waiting to be discovered. As someone who adores animal photography games, this one felt like a love letter to curiosity and exploration. It’s creative, charming, and an absolute delight for anyone who finds joy in capturing the beauty of the world—real or imagined.

Love the story and game concept overall! Only suggestion is to please put more mantis in the Painted Plateau....i missed the one and had to walk all the way back at the end

A very cute, cozy game! I was pleasantly surprised by it. If you liked Pokemon Snap, you'd probably like this! Although, I will say it's a bit limited, I finished it in just under 3 hours. So if you can get it on sale, I'd recommend that but honestly still worth it!

It's short (took me about 3 hours to 100% it) and doesn't have much depth to it, but I didn't encounter any bugs and didn't find the controls frustrating like others did. It's a cute and relaxed photographing game with very simple 'puzzles' here and there.

I liked playing this, but it is a bit unintuitive at times, making it hard to figure out how to move to the next area. Also sometimes a perfectly good photo does not register for the behavior it shows. Like i got stuck with the camouflage behavior and only fourth of fifth photo (that said it showed the behaviour) finally registered and I could proceed. Otherwise, it is a cute, colorful game that would be very relaxing without the cutscenes that interrupt the gameplay at inconvenient times.
