Not much to do, really.

Gameplay: Well first of all, you might be wondering what this game is, and it is a hamster simulator, as weird as that sounds. First of all, to be honest, hamsters don't really appeal to me in real life, so why would they appeal to me in a videogame? Well they don't. But at least the developers changed the gameplay a little to make it more fun.
First, you choose a hamster and name it. After that's done, there are some things you can do. You can feed your hamster, brush it, pet it, teach it phrases, clean its cage or play mini games with it. Sometimes, you may also take the hamster out of its cage so it can find stuff on your bedroom.
The game is centered around three different aspects. Taking care of the hamster is the most basic. Then we have speaking with your hamster and teaching it things to say, and that is very weird, but at least it utilizes the microphone well. You can teach it a set of predetermined phrases and the microphone recognizes pretty well what phrase you're trying to say. Sometimes, it'll take a few tries for your hamster to learn the phrases and sometimes it'll learn them in one try.
The last aspect are the mini games, which are playable only when your hamster feels like it and grant you unlockables once you beat them. It's the most fun part of the game, but unfortunately, you can't always play them.
To be honest, the game doesn't give much to do. It'll be nice if you could go out of your room, but unfortunately, that's not the case. The game is boring and uninteresting.
There's also a multiplayer to mix things up, but chances are you'll have no one to play with.
5/10


Presentation: The graphics are nice. The hamsters look kind of realistic, and so does the furniture and other stuff. Unfortunately though, there's not much to look at, aside from different cages and accesories, the games visuals are limited to your hamster and your room. However, there's also the mini games, which have a cartoonish look to them, sort of anime styled. They look ok.
The sound is really nice, but too repetitive to be enjoyable, unfortunately.
7/10


Replay Value: You can come back every day, teach your hamster new things, and play with it, but unfortuantely, this game only has a few minutes worth of content every day.
6/10


Fun: I didn't have much fun with this mainly because of how little there's to do in the game.
4/10


Overall: Look for a better pet simulator. This doesn't have enough content to make it worth it.
