Style Savvy | Syn Sophia, Nintendo

I played Style Savvy on a whim after watching Li Speaks video on the series and was delighted by what I found! This game is so charming and fun and I've poured hours into making outfits in it. I really treated this game like a really advanced GirlsGoGames dress-up game, and didn't pay a ton of mind to any of the other features, but despite that it still felt very well rounded and kept me engaged for a long time, and I still come back to it quite often for an hour or so when I want to relax. The various brands really offer a wide range of styles to choose from which never felt limiting. I was able to start each play session by updating my player character with an entirely new style which was really enjoyable. It's also super fun to see the same customers come back and get their stamps, as well as reading the customers' little descriptions, many of which are quite humourous. I also loved the main characters, they were all very charming and fun and I always wanted to see them and hear what they would say. This game is really quite incredible as a dress-up game. It has such a wide array of clothing options from so many different styles and it never got boring no matter how many outfits I put together. I don't think I ever made a duplicate oufit in all the time I played the game, there were just so many options to choose from. The options available really make it easy to mix and match too, which is often an issue with dress-up games (clothing items obviously being designed to "go" with one another in a way that discourages creativity). It was also really fun trying to remember which brand had which clothes so that I could guess the customer's style preference based on their outfit, as well as trying to figure out what I could "get away with" including in an outfit. I really love this game it's so much fun!
