Blue Prince is so smart, it makes me feel stupid.
Its a good place to start, though.
Unless you worked on Blue Prince or received a review copy, you probably werent thinking about it much.
Blue Prince also launched day one onGame Pass, but that was not the case for Animal Well.
It was the same thought process I went through ahead of Animal Wells release.
Worst case scenario, I play it for a few hours and I dont like it.
That was not the case with Animal Well.
I am now experiencing that all over again thanks to Blue Prince.
Even when describing them, they sound like so much less than they are.
I wish I could say more, but I don’t want to spoil anything.
Everyone stumbled on that discovery entirely by accident.
The way each game makes me feel, both good and bad, adds to why theyre so similar.
With both games though, my cogs keep turning in the background.
Shes now playing it herself and becoming just as obsessed as I am.
Shes also asking me questions and Im refusing to answer.

Especially when you consider some of the games still to come in 2025.
If so, it really will win 2025s Animal Well crown.
If you left the game there, you really should go back and play some more.
Not before youve played a lot more Blue Prince, though.
