A game about exploring an abandoned wildlife park
Penko Park is an adventure exploration game in which the player takes on the role of someone exploring an abandoned wildlife park. The game features various puzzles and other challenges, but it is largely an exploration game in which the player collects details and pictures of the park’s unusual creatures.
Penko Park features an array of strange animals to encounter, much like Pokemon Crystal Clear, but the gameplay is more relaxed like The Witness. It features a hand-drawn art style combined with a 3D world. The animals can be a little weird, but the tone is not particularly scary.
An exploration game
The player assumes the role of a faceless protagonist who explores a long-abandoned wildlife park. They must go around collecting information and pictures of the wildlife in the park. Pictures taken of animals are given ratings out of three stars, giving players a challenge in getting good photos of the creatures.
Unusual creatures
Much like the aforementioned Pokemon game, the animals the player is looking for are not conventional creatures found in the real world. Many of the creatures seem harmless, while others look more menacing and creepy. The casual nature of the game and the appealing art style make the unsettling nature of some of the creatures less jarring.
A popular casual experience
Penko Park has enjoyed overwhelmingly positive reviews from players. It is a casual gaming experience that should make it suitable for all skill levels. The cartoon-style art makes the game’s more disturbing creatures look more appealing, and the game should be suitable for most ages without causing upset. However, there is limited gameplay, and players looking for a challenge may be disappointed.
