It has a lot of potential, but I don't think it was ready to be released yet. It lags and crashes constantly. I've now reached an impass during the main quest where I'm meant to jump down a well. The screen goes black and kicks me back out to the home screen everytime. This is currently unplayable. If fixed, I will happily change my review. I had really high hopes for this game

Honestly, I love this game, though I'm not sure if it's just my phone, but I sometimes experience issues loading world textures—like buildings, floors, grass, flowers, and rocks. Especially with the grass, there are always little white spots; I don't really know how to describe it. I've also disconnected a few times, but it isn't a problem. Despite all this, I absolutely love the game and playing as Nikki. The controls are also very good, and the dressing up is very easy to navigate through.

This game is teaching me to game. :) I love it. Its really relaxing the open world is incredible. I lose track of time playing. I have seen alot of reviews about game crashing and glitching. So far, I havent had any issues. Im on a Galaxy S8 tab and it works great. Its a sweet story. Cute characters. Lots to do. My favorite feature is the map. You can mark where you find things in the game and teleport. Which is helpful because my gaming skills arent great yet.

I really wanted to give this game 5 stars. I'm a big fan of "The Love Nikki" series. I was overjoyed to see this open world edition. It took 2 days for the game to download. An extra day to have the servers allow me in. Now, today I'm playing. Graphics look beauitful. Controls could be better. Then as I'm trying on different outfits my game crashes. Log back in I'm right back at the begining of the game. Until these glitches are fixed my review will stay.

It's really hard to complete quests due to the fact that it's crashing over and over again,lags very much. One example is when you do the electrical or power outage quest. You have to start over and over due to the fact it doesn't save it's kinda like domains in other games, which is a pain to deal with. It's really sad since I really like the idea of an RPG with it mainly having to do with dress ups.

I've seen other content creators play this game, which I was most definitely hyped for. The game concept isn't overall bad either. Since this game is new and released not too long ago, there are bound to be issues. For me, downloading the resources took a while, but it wasn't something out of the ordinary. The issue was it kept freezing my screen and would kick me out of the game. I hope that gets fixed real soon. The game is amazing!

I have this game on PC and wanted to try it on my phone. If your looking for graphics just like in the trailer then you would prefer the PC version for sure. However, if your okay with the graphics being not super HD and just really want to play dress up it's still pretty good. I encountered far more bugs here then I have on PC but I assume those will be fixed in future updates. It's not perfect but for what it is I still had fun playing it and collecting things for the hour I played.

This game is really cool. Even for a guy like me i just cant stop playing it. just 4 important (suggestions) 1) Add a feature where you can use outfit abilities without changing the actual players outfit, it gets annoying after a while. 2) Add close up camera so we can look at our character much closer. 3) on Mobile please fix the character turning sensitivity evertime i keep falling because it turns abruptly. 4) add on screen controls buttons adjustable and resizable thanks you.

The Graphics are decent for a mobile game, especially since it came out 5 days ago as of this review. The gameplay is super wholesome, and the platforming reminds me a lot of Alice: Madness Returns. The fighting is a little hard, and it can get confusing to keep track of all you're meant to do, but since this is a game you're meant to play regularly rather than a one-shot story I think that's actually a good thing. I do wish resonance crystals cost an even 100 instead of 120 though.

Really needs to be optimized. I love the concept and the Love Nikki series in general, but man. This game crashes every 2 minutes. It isn't my phone or my wifi because it can run games like Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves. It also BOILS my phone (Samsung S23 Ultra if that matters). It's only been out for less than a week, so definitely give it a try later down the line when it's optimized and bug fixed!

I initially left one star because the mechanics of this game are clunky, and the controls are uncomfortable to use. I learned that I can use a bluetooth controller and it significantly changed the game for me, it's more comfortable, but it would be better if I could customize the controller becasue I still need to use the phone for everything except moving around. The fighting aspect is still bad though, very clunky, slow to lock on, impossible to aim. The graphics still need lots of improvement

It's very fun so far but the only problem I have is how sensitive the controls are. I was able to go into the settings and turn down the camera sensitivity but I can't control how sensitive the joystick is and it's very frustrating. I keep accidentally tapping the screen and it makes my character turn completely around or just fall off a ledge. Other than that it seems fine so far.

I play the game on PC and it works absolutely great, minus a few bugs. But the mobile version is absolutely awful. I'm using a galaxy s21 and have never had any game issues, but it feels like this game is just not optimized well for mobile. It's horrifically laggy, even with the lowest possible graphic settings, and the touch screen controls are clunky and uncomfortable. Beautiful open world game, but the mobile optimization could be better.

The design is aesthetically pleasing. However, performance issues arose on the second day, including lag despite a stable internet connection, unexpected game crashes (the game crashed in 15 minutes), and excessive battery drain (more than other open world/gacha games). I hope it can be fixed soon! This game has a lot of potential.

This is such a fun game and I love it so much, but the mobile graphics are awful. I've tried each graphic quality type and I'm still getting white rectangles throughout the landscape and large squares of different texture types (earth, stone, grass, etc.). The graphics on the PS5 version are so much better and it's kinda disappointing that I can't enjoy the game on the go. I have a Galaxy S 22+, updated to the current version.

I have a new tablet that exceeds the listed requirements and the game is still constantly loading, freezing, and glitching. Logging in requires more downloads. And the controls are terrible. I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to bubble fly across a canyon just in the tutorial. I really wanted to love this, but I don't. It's just too frustrating to be fun. Maybe if I could play on Switch I'd enjoy it. Until then, I stick with Shining Nikki.

The game gets laggy at times and has some glitches. Details are nice for immersion, but that only applies to PC and consoles that can handle it. On mobile, they only get in the way with a smoother gameplay, which unfortunately takes away from the experience. I mean, my phone can handle most games without issues, but this one was hard to play. I hope they optimize mobile experience, but until then, it's pretty awful from a mobile player's perspective. You're better off playing it another way.

This game is so good! I'm obsessed! It's so perfect! Switching to skill outfits is really clean, no issues! The English voice acting is amazing! The translation and localization are great!! The features are sooo fun! I love taking photos! But, riding the bike is super duper hard! And navigating the UI is a kinda hard, too. The game also has some texture stability issues that I fixed by running the software check. This is best idea ever, you guys are geniuses. Seriously.

I've been really enjoying the game. It's a fun adventure with gameplay reminiscent of Genshin Impact, but is more of a cozy platformer. Since the last update the game has been crashing frequently though. I even tried lowering graphics settings to see if it would help (I played fine on high settings previously either way) and it didn't fare any better. I would give it five stars if it wasn't so unplayable at the moment.

I've been a Nikki fan since 2017, so this release was very exciting! However, as fun as many parts of it are, it needs serious fixing. My phone isn't the best out there, but it's far far from the worst, it has plenty of space and even has built in features to compliment and make gaming easier. But the fact that the rendering is permanently stuck on low and many actual pieces of the world, ground, walls, buildings, hills, boxes, poles, paths...are missing...makes it nearly impossible to play!
