Pupperazzi
Review

Pupperazzi (2022) is an adventure game where you explore an island to find and photograph all manner of canine friends. You interact with the world, climb, skate and explore to get the perfect angle on the perfect pup. It starts as a silly challenge but turns into an endearing love letter to the good boys in our lives.

Without metaphor, backstory or hidden meaning, this is a simple game about the love of dogs. A bunch of dogs need their photos taken. Photograph and catalogue the finest (and derpiest) dogs to build your career, upgrade your camera, and discover new canines.

Play involves exploring in a first-person photographer view. It's like a shooting game but here you are only shooting photos rather than bullets. As you progress you discover new dogs and activities. Shibas, terriers, labs, pugs, and all kinds of breeds. You can also upgrade your gear to get the best dog pics. Zoom, filters, slow-mo and lenses.

You can pet the dogs, play fetch and dress them up in different hats if you really want to. It's a game that doesn't take itself too seriously. Chase the pups with vacuum cleaners, organise dance parties or just run around with them.
