Career sim more focused on the zoo than its animals.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Dreamer Series: Zoo Keeper is an animal care simulator that might feel a bit more like an actual job than a video game. It's not just about playing with the animals and watching them frolic, as some zoo games are; in this one kids will have to clean up dirty cages, fill water troughs, deposit trash into dumpsters, and more. In the realm of career sims, it's actually quite more realistic than a lot of others, which may or may not be what your child is looking for.
Educational value:
The game requires you to learn about the animals you're caring for by reading guide books, all of which contain real factual info about those species. And since your character is also in charge of buying supplies and equipment for the zoo, you'll learn a valuable lesson about how to work within a budget.
Positive role models:
Not only is your zookeeper happily responsible for every detailed aspect of the upkeep and care of the zoo's baby animals, but she also remembers to take care of herself, stopping to eat or take a nap when she's been working too hard.
Ease of play:
Time management can become challenging as the game progresses, but on the whole there's nothing too frustrating or difficult about the gameplay.
