Adorable Adventures is very cute from beginning to end. We are introduced to the adorable baby boar Boris who is taking a nice little nap in the forest. Boris awakens and we get to do a little tutorial about how he walks, runs, and uses his nose to sniff out various scent trails and how to follow them. The whole point of this adventure is Boris needs to find his six siblings so they can free their mother who somehow got trapped in a big shed. Following the scent trails was interesting and Boris can run around until he finds the source of the scent. Once it's found, you can check it off the list and focus on the main scent of his siblings for the story. There's a narrator that cheerfully gives a summary of all of Boris's adventures which adds another lovely detail to the game.

The park is beautiful and I loved running around exploring everywhere with Boris. There were so many lovely trees, flowers, and a variety of mushrooms to find. Each new discovery can go into a sticker book which is another fun thing in the game. I would stop often just to look at the gorgeous scenery. There was always something to see from giant trees to taking a little break in a river with a cascading waterfall.

As Boris continues his journey searching for his siblings there's little side tasks he can do. Of course finding his siblings isn't that easy as some of them get into some amusing situations and he has to figure out how to help them. One of my personal favorites was finding specific types of mushrooms and then enjoying a little scene of Boris enjoying a mushroom feast with a couple of his siblings. There's no rushing in the game. You can take your time and explore as much as you like which I had a good time with because you can also use photo mode in the game capturing some beautiful landscape vistas.

There's also learning incorporated in the game with facts about the flora and fauna you find. The music in the game captures the mood of each moment of the story. There's even a funny high speed chase and it was a blast having Boris run as fast as he could and do a little drift as he raced around a tree or a rock. Adorable Adventures is a short game that I finished in about four hours, but short is not bad. It was obvious how much care and love went into making this game. You can also go back and look for any collectibles you missed after you finish the main story which is nice. I loved Adorable Adventures and everything in it was perfectly done right down to the smallest details. It was such a delight to play and I loved seeing Boris together with his siblings as they worked together to be reunited with their mother. It's an all around feel good game with the right amount of whimsy and cuteness.
