Video ChumsA.J. MaciejewskiJun 20258.1/10Survival Kids may just be my new go-to co-op game thanks to its multiplayer-focused elements that really come together beautifully whenever you're playing with a friend. With lovely sights, charming characters, a silly narrator, and spot-on sound effects, it's a treat to watch, too. ⛺

Nintendo LifeRoland IngramJun 20257/10Survival Kids is a thoroughly competent, cosy game of cooperative gathering and crafting. It's not much of a looker, and its ideas aren't mind-blowing, but it's all good stuff thanks to its robust controls and easy-to-grasp loop. I'm not sure I'd want to be stuck with it on a desert island, but it's good company for several happy hours with a friend – especially a less experienced gamer. If you plan to get shipwrecked with a little one and giggle your way through it, go ahead and add a point to the score.

TheSixthAxisNic BunceJun 20257/10While 'Survival' part of the title is clearly wrong, the 'Kids' bit is on the money. Survival Kids is a good option if you're looking for a chill game with a less-experienced partner or your kid when they get home from school. It's a colourful, amusing but altogether simple game that gets pretty samey if you're looking for even a semblance of challenge.

Digitally DownloadedJun 20252/5 starsThe challenges are more basic than those found in Paw Patrol games, the replay value is virtually nonexistent, and the core concept feels more rough than many indie titles made with minimal resources and no major publisher backing. This isn’t the Survival Kids revival fans deserved, and it’s unlikely to attract new players to a franchise that deserved so much better.
