hello everyone and welcome to a pros and
0:02
cons of the video game Squeak Ross Home
0:05
Squeak Home well not now mom I'm gaming
0:10
these are short videos featuring
0:11
gameplay clips or screenshots so as not
0:13
to show too much in the spoiler
0:15
department links to this review are in
0:17
the description below let the reviewing
0:25
these puzzle boards can be as small as a
0:27
5x5 and then become pretty darn big
0:30
especially if you're doing the Nene's
0:31
challenges portion of the catalog so I
0:34
appreciate the challenge this isn't a
0:37
game that I can play for hours on end
0:39
even though it does suck you in and make
0:41
you want to keep playing but only
0:43
because figuring out puzzles like these
0:44
and the dealing with the smaller blocks
0:46
on a big board causes ice strain for me
0:48
and triggers migraines i mean I did play
0:51
this game for about 6 hours straight
0:53
definitely got a migraine from it and my
0:55
regrets without regretting it too much
0:58
but yeah I like the challenging board
1:00
sizes and shapes of items thorough
1:03
manual this game offers a tutorial as
1:06
you do your thing in the beginning and
1:08
it does a pretty good job with
1:09
explaining what you need to do along
1:11
with animated videos but even after
1:14
these little tutorial drops you can look
1:16
in the manual for even more information
1:18
on the puzzle side of things decorating
1:20
your home and even what to do with
1:22
stickers you collect it's a lot of
1:24
information split into segments and I
1:26
appreciate how thorough it all is
1:32
the thing is when you're done with one
1:33
catalog items there's another one with
1:35
even more items so it's a lot of stuff
1:37
to decorate a little mousy home
1:41
interactive help nothing is worse than
1:44
realizing that somewhere on the board
1:46
you placed a block in the wrong location
1:48
maybe more than one and you've got a lot
1:50
on the board switching things around can
1:53
cause even more damage so if you're
1:55
really frustrated you can actually
1:57
request help from the mouse in the
1:58
corner and they can reveal the mistakes
2:00
you made place a random block or X down
2:04
where it needs to go or try to help you
2:06
figure out a column or row by guessing
2:08
at it the guess isn't always right but
2:10
you know and it's not like the game
2:12
wants to deter you from seeking help
2:14
when you need it because there are
2:16
achievements attached to requesting help
2:21
No notification for new mail this is
2:24
going to be my biggest pee for the game
2:26
and it's not even a really bad one but
2:28
as you go through puzzles one after
2:30
another you'll sometimes receive mail
2:32
the problem is you don't know when
2:34
you've got mail until you close the
2:36
catalog and return home at which point
2:38
the mail icon will have a notification
2:40
on it and when you open your mailbox you
2:43
end up with a whole lot of mail to go
2:45
through depending on how many puzzles
2:47
you flew through before going back to
2:48
your home it's just really annoying
2:51
having to sift through mail that you
2:52
could have been read that could have
2:54
been read earlier because they wanted me
2:56
to be read earlier but without an alert
2:58
on the screen we remain oblivious
3:02
mouse blocks the corner of the board i
3:05
love the fact that our mouse persona
3:06
stands at the bottom corner of the
3:08
screen however when you get to the
3:10
longer boards you'll notice that the
3:12
mouse blocks a small portion of the
3:14
bottom of the board and it sometimes
3:16
just throws me off when I'm trying to
3:18
figure out where to place blocks and X's
3:20
and such i just feel like perhaps the
3:22
mouse is a bit too big especially with
3:25
some of the costumes such as the cone of
3:27
shame and that's the end of our pros and
