So this week I decided to download Infinity Nikki. It seemed like a pretty chill and light open world game which peaked my interest.

So I decided to install it on my phone, and then it had to take a long time to download 20gb of data and then a really long time to compile shaders. I played the tutorial, but was getting around 20 fps on my phone. So at the end I decided to install it on my new laptop. This time it took 50gb for the initial game.

Thanks to the cloud save, I was able to pick up where I left off. And with my AMD internal GPU I was getting some good frames on medium settings.

I haven’t got far in terms of the story of the game, but loved what I have played so far. I haven’t explored much, but it seems the map is quite big and I will have some fun exploring. There is also so much to collect, another thing I am interested in. There is a bunch of resources spread across the map that I can collect and use to craft clothing items; there is also this star thing (I think it’s called a whim star) you collect which is either in hard to reach places or complete a small mini game to collect, this is also used in crafting.

One of the other big part of the game is the Dress up part. You mainly collect clothing by unlocking them and crafting them using the aforementioned resources collected. You can craft sets of clothing and individual items. Some of the sets you craft are ability sets which can be equipped in-game and used to complete an action like collect insects, fish and fluff from animals. The dress up part feels like customizing your character (I mean it literally is), and I quite like collecting and customizing.

There also seems to be some kind of gatcha feature, where you roll to get clothing items; I mean its a fun thing to do but not my bread and butter.

You also get a camera you can take pictures with in-game; you can pose the character, apply effects and change camera setting. I will attach some images I took bellow.

There is also a lot of in game currencies, I don’t even know what I have.

I am not that good at being critical when it comes to reviewing, so I have just placed down some thoughts I had and things I remember from the game.

I might post an update on this game in the future, you may can catch me posting about it on mastodon.

Cya next time!
