3DS Critic Reviews

Despite the occasional stutters, Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder is a uniquely enjoyable game that will test your creativity from start to finish.

Although this tiny, yet full of secrets house world is cut into little areas, hence constraining exploration, Chibi-Robo develops its talent for photography by exploiting the 3DS features cleverly, while still doing odd jobs for the even weirder inhabitants.

As a standalone retail release it would be passable, but as a cheap download what has been packed in is simply amazing and surprisingly addictive.

It's hard for a game to win hearts when it keeps kicking you in the shins. [Aug 2014, p.82]

If you’re still interested after reading through our criticisms, there’s likely enough here to justify a purchase; otherwise, you’re probably best off leaving this photo undeveloped.

The tasks presented are fun to fulfill and make use of one of the most overlooked assets of the 3DS. Let's Go, Photo! could use some more variety in its whole but it shows Nintendo can deliver more than the usual series everyone knows.

Let’s Go, Photo!’s biggest stumbling block is the Nintendo 3DS itself. Its poorly spec’ed camera has always been pretty useless, even for taking pictures – trying to use it for a game is a mostly fruitless endeavor.

A bizarre game that works on paper but much less on screen. At first glance it's fun, but after a while it loses its steam and it becomes tedious and frustrating.

Photo Finder is a decent adventure stuffed with charm and fun.

Taking pictures of your house and stealing your own objects with Chibi-Robo is pretty fun, even with the poor 3DS' camera. But the minigames required to finally take some photos are just boring and uninteresting.
