  • graphics
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are characterized by simple, cartoony 2D visuals that some players find charming, while others criticize them as outdated and reminiscent of low-effort mobile apps. Despite a colorful aesthetic, the lack of resolution options and graphical tweaks detracts from the overall experience, especially for PC gamers accustomed to higher-quality visuals. While there are improvements compared to previous iterations, the graphics still fall short of expectations for a modern PC game.

    • “A graphically beautiful little game.”
    • “+ colorful and cartoony character models and artwork”
    • “The visual graphic in this game is pretty decent.”
    • “There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
    • “The game features simple, cartoony 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low effort mobile apps.”
    • “Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”
  • story
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in this game is generally perceived as bland and lacking depth, with many reviewers noting that it feels like an afterthought compared to the first installment. While there are some moral themes present, such as perseverance, the overall narrative fails to leave a lasting impression and is considered straightforward and unchallenging.

    • “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
    • “Thank you for the game and the advancement of the story line!!!”
    • “The first game (Katy and Bob: Way Back Home) was far more challenging and had a bit more story line.”
    • “There is no substantial story.”
    • “So, the story itself in this game is pretty blandly straightforward.”
    • “This may not be your cup of tea as the story in this game really does not leave much of an impression.”
  • music
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is described as relaxing and enjoyable, featuring endearing safari-themed soundtracks and engaging sound effects. Players appreciate the upbeat and fun nature of the music, which enhances their overall experience without becoming monotonous.

    • “It has happy music too!”

    • “It's a game that manages to combine the tediousness of repetitive gameplay with a narrative that's as thin as tracing paper, and characters whose depth is comparable to a puddle.”
    • “While Way Back Home became more and more frenetic as you played, the highest scoring gameplay in Safari Cafe requires a lot of doing nothing for long periods, which is much less fun and becomes repetitive much faster.”
