![]() Ultimately, and fittingly, the game is a series of fetch quests. Between trips, you can head home to check your checkbox list of photos: an odd photo collection ranging from specific breeds through to local superstars dogs. To meter this income, you eventually get accused of spamming the service, meaning you can’t post any more until your next excursion. Overall, since Pupperazzi already looks to be one of the brighter experiences of 2022, we’re going to give it a Free Pass.Each day, you can upload a finite number of snaps to DogNet, encouraging feedback from your peers. But on the other hand, Pupperazzi doesn’t pretend to be more than it is, so if you start it up expecting that it has nothing more than photos and dogs and lots of both, then it’d be right up your street. It depends on how you look at it, I guess if you go in expecting a varied gameplay experience, then you might be disappointed. Pupperazzi reminds me a little of Townscaper, which describes itself as “more of a toy than a game” - you could perhaps say the same of Pupperazzi, although Pupperazzi does complement its core gameplay with some adorable dialogue. You’ll need to make sure to photograph as many dogs as possible to complete the Puppypedia for the Dogolist achievement, and to earn enough to buy every camera part for Fully Upgraded, but the rest seem as laid-back as the game itself. ![]() The other achievements seem mostly tied to playing around with the camera taking pictures of dogs wagging their tails or blinking, or else trying out different kinds of photos. SummaryYou unlock new areas as you play, or the option to return to a location at a different time of day, and if you’re looking to complete Pupperazzi, you’ll need to do just that. It does feel realistic to be stuck in a game of “no take, only throw,” but I was starting to feel the pressure when surrounded by a crowd of dogs, all yearning for a stick to be thrown, with me unable to interact with it. You have one arm, which seems to be of Slenderman proportions, and can interact with the world around you, but it takes a bit of getting used to: petting the dogs is easy, but figuring out how to pick up a stick or frisbee held by a dog is not so speedy. The controls feel more than a little clunky at first - this perhaps makes more sense when you remember that you are a camera, not a human - and interacting with things feels a little tricky to begin with. I enjoyed having these goals to work towards, which gave a little more purpose to my haphazard exploration of the world, and which prompted me to make use of the different features of the camera. On top of this, you’ll also receive requests from the inhabitants of Pupperazzi - such as the adorable sea-faring pooch who wants you to take pictures of the lighthouse, or the slightly more demanding cat which will attempt to hail your photography services with a “greetings, peasant.” Completing these missions gains you followers and also rewards you with dog treats, which you can spend in the shop to buy new features for your camera, like new filters or a different lens. Some dogs on DogNet might prefer more “traditional” black and white photography, for instance, while others prefer the subject to be dressed in a suitably fashionable outfit. You have the option to upload your pics to the game’s social media site, DogNet, where it will be judged by the denizens of the canine world, and some goals might ask you to reach a certain number of followers. You’re pretty much set loose to photograph dogs to your heart’s content, but if you prefer a little more structure, there are also goals to work towards. ![]() So, if what you’re after is an upbeat game where you dress up dogs and take the best pictures of them that you possibly can, then Pupperazzi certainly delivers. Pupperazzi delivers just what it promises: a stress-free photography game about dogs. You’ll still unlock things as you progress through the game, like new filters, or the ability to dress dogs up for their photos - this did add some variety, but it didn’t always equate to me wanting to carry on with the game. I’m a little torn about it, to tell the truth I enjoyed my time with the game, but on the other hand it’s easy to feel quite quickly that you’ve experienced almost everything Pupperazzi has to offer. Pupperazzi's brightly colourful world revolves around doing just that - cataloguing and photographing its many dogs, and playing around with the filters and the fashions to get the best photo you can.
