Bobo Bay

Bobo Bay is a dream come true for players who have desperately missed a complex, deep, and well-developed breeding system in modern games, reminiscent of the Chao Garden from the classic Sonic Adventure.

Ultimately, Bobo Bay is a game for two audiences. It’s a love letter to the Chao Garden that many of us grew up with and remember fondly; but it also stands on its own as a fresh title for the cozy games crowd who maybe never played SA2. If you play the game, give yourself time to breathe, relax, and enjoy how cute and thoughtful everything is you’ll be alright.

The underlying message of inclusivity within the game hits hard. Some lines of dialogue cut deep, especially because they talk about loss and change. This could have been a single, one-and-done recreation of a classic minigame. But it isn’t.
