Edit: Okay! I had left an initial review with some unorganized, initial thoughts, but after seeing several people defending this game with snark and bile to negative reviews I feel the need to elaborate on my issues with the game. If you want to take your helpfuls back that's fine. I've got things to say! There is nothing here that engrosses or even introduces us to the world beyond the tutorial and initial quests, …

So I’m giving the game a positive review because I enjoy it and it’s a lot of fun. The art is cute, the gameplay is fun and I can tell it has a lot of heart and soul put into it. Please don’t take any of the criticisms I’m about to say harshly because most are just little gripes. None of it so far is game breaking and none of it is severe. I have a lot of hope for the future of this game but as EA goes, there is a …

This is the most relaxing game I've played since Stardew Valley. It's definitely worth the $5 price tag; I recommend trying it. If you liked Stardew Valley, it offers a similarly relaxing experience, though not exactly the same.

Pawsome Resort scratches that Stardew itch but swaps the farm for something more charming: an animal hotel packed with over 25 species, from cats and dogs to crocodiles and flamingos. Building habitats, keeping guests fed and happy, and slowly expanding the resort makes for a genuinely relaxing management loop, and the farming, crafting, and fishing on the side round out the cozy package. Pebble Town itself has …

Really chamring and relaxing game! The cozy pixel art style, cute animals, and the feeling of building your own little place make this game really enjoyable. I love how much atention is given to small details and the overall atmosphere. It’s the kind of game where you can just sit back, relax, and spend hours exploring, crafting, and taking care of your little world. Looking forward to seeing how it grows!

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pawsome Resort is using my first impressions on their steam store page feed and I'm so ecstatic!! Can't wait until the game comes out in early access on June 24th 🐆
positive · AI labelView post →I wanted to leave a review as I am seeing very mixed ones as of now. This game is EA, for those of you who don't know this means "Early Access". The developers released the game unfinished so people could start playing it, and for dirt cheap really. So to play for 45 minutes and post a review about the game in a negative way is wild to me. "Why Early Access? “Pawsome Resort is launching in Early Access so that players can begin enjoying the heartwarming animal hotel experience we’ve crafted so…

I understand that it's still in a very early stage and there are thousands of things that will change soon. I want to leave my review for the developers : - The pace of the game is overwhelming; there's no time to deal with the resort's animals, explore, buy food, or get to know the characters. - The mushroom monsters you rescue to help you at the resort do their job very poorly (slow and…

If you've ever thought about running a hotel for a variety of interesting animals while their owners are on vacation, here's your chance!

The gameplay is enjoyable, and I love the overall concept and design. One thing I would love to see added in the future is character customization. It would be great if players could customize their characters with different hairstyles, outfits, colors, and accessories. I think this would make the game even more fun and personal. Overall, I'm really enjoying…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →so cozy and works perfectly on a steam deck
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really want to enjoy this game but it needs some major changes. why do you progress from taking care of sheep, then cats, straight to PANDAS? that feels like such an insane jump to me. then it's back to more reasonable animals again, aka horses and dogs. like what???? you'd think the logical way to do this would be to start with more domestic animals before getting to the exotic ones, but no. it's so bizarre. the progression is all over the place and does not feel sensical or linear at all…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game really has great mechanics; the missions are truly engaging; the design is very charming; the flow is excellent; the developer has really done a great job with this.

neutral · AI labelView post →I know the developers are tired of the same slop in the cozy genre. And that's why that made Pawsome Resort. Wild animal care is such a nice nice focus and I love that the idea can go pretty much anywhere. How about adding fantastic creatures like baby and old Dragons, Gryphons, Wyverns and stuff like that? Solid game for me as it is
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cooozy game!! Just walking around and petting animals. Loved it!! 🦙🦆

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to play this game so badly, but I think my game was just broken. I kept getting stuck on the same part of the tutorial (which played perfectly fine in the demo). No matter what I did, nothing fixed it. Restarted the game, reloaded, made a new save file, deleted the save file and restarted. Nothing. I ended up returning it because I just couldnt play the game at all. :C
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is what I expected it to be for the price and the fact its an early access game made by 4 people and I'm not mad about it. It needs improvements but that will come with feedback and updates and I am looking forward to seeing how this game develops. So far just from what I've played today I am liking the concept but It could be better and I feel like the game overall needs more depth to it in a lot of areas and there are some things that are becoming a bother. So far I feel like all…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Loving this game, in a good Stardew Valley look a like, Theres some things to improve (in my opinion): - Longer days, so you can enjoy playing it in a relaxing mode, - Food and Water runs out to quick for me, - More complex and entertained phising method, - Be able to rotate animal habitats, - Be able to upgrade animal habitats so they are bigger and with more animals in it, - Make it so people can pay a fee and visit the inside of the resort. Great work and keep going!

I am really excited because I honestly wasn't ready to put the demo down. I hope you 🐾 Cozy Critters 🐾 can join in, making the most comfortable place we can! 🟣Live: twitch.tv/kilarakaito
positive · AI labelView post →Wasn't a fan of Stardew. This is a lot easier to maintain and doesn't stress me out like Stardew did. The only thing I'd like is to be able to play it with a friend. It is cozy, I love the critters. Maybe all the negative reviews don't understand this isn't meant to be their next Stardew. Some of us are happy just taking care of the pets. Thanks!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An amazing concept for a game but not yet in a condition that is worth paying for IMO. There are a lot of performance problems like lag spikes and screen tearing, the writing is not very good (on a grammatical but also on a story level), the mechanics are lacking and poorly explained, and there is very little to do with your time. I hope they improve in the future!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →1. It's difficult for me to fill the cat bowl with water. It need 3-4 attempts. 2. Their map doesn't include neighbors name. So, you need to strolling around where is moon garden or your friend home, and it waste your time. 3. I am in season 2 and my eyes are hurt. The color is too bright even though I decrease my brightness.

neutral · AI labelView post →had a lot of fun with this one so figured i'd actually leave a review for once it's still early access btw which is probably why some of these reviews feel kinda off. seems like a few people went in expecting a full life sim and got annoyed when it wasn't one, but that says more about what they expected than the actual game imo cause it was never supposed to be a life sim? it's a pet hotel management game, which is pretty obvious if you give it more than five minutes. complaining it doesn't…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The art style is really cute and the game's pace is pretty chill. Just what I was looking for!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's definitely garbage. A cheap version of Stardew Valley. Ugly graphics. Terrible UI and controls. The game doesn't even have stamina, a calendar, or seasonal events. The NPCs look bland and lack depth; they just wander around town and say silly things. You can even finish the game during the tutorial because it freezes time. This garbage isn't even as good as some free mobile games, yet it costs the same as Stardew Valley.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i like it! easy game and really Fun!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the coziest game I've ever played lol. It's easy for me to say this because I usually don't play many cozy games but this one especially captured my interest. I had to study but it was really hard for me to let go off this game for a whole hour and a half. I recommend it to all types of players because this game satisfies you in a bunch of different ways.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is looks awesome. I can't wait to put some more time into it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This a good mixture of similar games (e.g. Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing and Traveller's Rest). Although it offers also something own and unique, which gives its an own eccentric feeling, something different to do and relaxing atmosphere - it stands out as an it's own style of a "cozy game". This is recommended and can't wait what the developer will invent more!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall a great game, cute animals, nice pixel art, good gameplay. Only problem I could think of is it seems to be not enough time in a game day to stuff.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have really been enjoying this game!!!!! A few notes for developers: 1) Being able to move items from your inventory to a chest or fridge more quickly. (I.e. holding shift and clicking on a stack moves item from inventory to chest and vice versa) 2) Allowing the mushroom buddies to also check in new customers. (I.e. mushroom buddies can talk to new customers and check in new animals) 3) More visible graphic for resort rating. (I.e. something up by the money to show current resort…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm usually more of a simulation game player and honestly don't reach for pixel art games that often, but Pawsome Resort completely won me over. The way it blends both styles together is just so charming and cozy, it feels like the best of both worlds. I also didn't expect to enjoy the little RPG and NPC mechanics on the side as much as I did; they add so much personality and warmth to everything. And the fishing?? Way too cute. I literally can't stop, I just keep casting my line over and over…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Animal care, the fishing and other mini-games are really enjoyable. I also like the relaxing gameplay and the variety of animals. Looking forward to future updates
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game looks amazing; it's great to spend time with the animals at my animal hotel and go boating. Thanks to everyone who worked on it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Taking care of cute animals in its relaxing atmosphere feels great, fishing is a lot of fun, and farm life is wonderful. I love this game. <3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very cute game with game with lovely pixel art. Atmosphere is super cozy! The idea of runnign an animal hotel full of cute animals, making your resort even prettier and exploring the world is chef's kiss 😻🤌
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pawsome Resort looks like a make a character, date people ignoring gender, etc farming game but it's not about farming as much as it's about taking care of animals.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's cute but it's a game where the cozyness quickly become boredness. If you like this type of cozy game, yeah give it a try, but I don't think it's good enough for the full price, get it on a sale.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a fun and unique game! If you like farming and creature keeping, you should try it. It's just come to Steam Deck too
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pawsome Resort is a very cute concept and still under development so I thought that I would give some early on feedback on my initial experiences. This is directed more at developers than as a guide for people to decide to play the game, as I do think it will only get more enjoyable with time! Mostly important advice I can give to newer players is to finish the first quest involving the witch asap so you can get a very helpful sprite which makes gameplay more enjoyable and don’t worry too…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute but it feels raw. + All the different animal types + you have a bike from the beginning + the music + smooth gameplay animations - I'd like to have a third character option like a non-binary one - Also the tutorials text animations are terrible, I wanted to return the game immediately :D but the normal texts are fine even though I wish there was a button to skip or make it at least faster - So far the world feels a little empty
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the animals are So cute omg i can't 😭 just started playing but yeah this is def gonna be one of those games i lose hours to lol. s
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →purchased last night and already have 4 hours- i like this game it does get compoundingly difficult which I like; you need to find ways to help yourself but once you get a system it feels great! I will say, hoping that the devs see this, there are a couple things that would make this game great rather than good. 1- please add an add similar to and from chests, having to manually drag and drop everything hurts 2- similarly with chests, please allow the crafting food bench to be able to see items…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As buggy as it is charming. What I love: - the scooter is a very fun way to get around - the graphic style is beautiful and clearly crafted with love - the fishing system isn't too tedious - taking care of animals is fun and doesn't feel like a chore - the npc dialog is fun (other reviewers seem to disagree but I find it quite charming) Issues: - My guests arrive to pick up their pets seconds after bringing them - There needs to be some optimization for how much time you have to return to…

What I would LOVE to pls see a change in is: -Stamina bar would just add a bit of a challenge -incorporate cooking recipes to help with stamina or boosts -a easy mode to enter building mode or move furniture easier -a bit more npc dialogue or story lines maybe more romance options -PLS also make it names show on animals above the head or small when hovering…

It's exciting to be part of an early access work in progress and I look forward to continuing my journey with the Devs at Pixel Puffs as this is really proving to be relaxed and cozy game played at an individual pace with new and novel ideas and at this point it's nice to see more generosity in product gathering quantities which reduces getting into the rut of grinding away to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →more of a management sim less of a life sim. no stamina bar is nice because the focus is more on making money/prepping the habitats. the early access downside is that it has all these elements of gameplay but nothing really gluing them together. a lot of the game is figuring out stuff on your own and deciding what you want the game loop to be since there's little guidance, story, quests, etc. some improvements i hope to see as it develops in EA: -map improvements: npc tracking would be great,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interesting game so far. Would like to see the lighting improved for at night (it's pitch black!) and also some sort of pop up or indicator for quest completion? Finally, some of the quests don't provide a clear reward which led to some initial confusion.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The constant crashing makes the game unplayable. Don't waste your money.
