Another historical game arrives on Android smartphones and iPhone and becomes a must to play for everyone, especially for those who had loved it in its time.
This time (after The Sims Mobile), it is the Tamagotchi, which in 1996 was marketed as an electronic game by the Japanese Bandai Namco, enjoying enormous success.
The Tamagotchi of the 90s was a small electronic portable device, as big as a key ring, which showed on the screen a pet to be treated all the time as if it were true, feeding it, cleaning it, making it sleep and so on.
If the cure was missing or forgotten, the animal ended up suffering and then dying, creating great displeasure to its master.
The Tamagotchi for Android and iPhone is My Tamagotchi Forever, a similar free game to download, where you have to treat the virtual pet in every aspect of its life .
Being an app, My Tamagotchy Forever lacks that originality given by the independent device that was the original Tamagotchi, it is also clearly designed with the "free-to-play" model, where you play for free but you get decisive benefits by paying during the game .
Despite this, MyTamagotchi Forever can be really fun and engaging for lovers of the genre and for younger children.

The new mobile game (can be downloaded for Android and for iPhone) reflects the original concept of the original Tamagotchi, controlling the hunger, sleep and entertainment meters, to give the pet what it wants and what it needs, that is to eat, to have fun, to clean and go to the bathroom . By meeting the creature's needs to keep her happy, virtual money is earned that can be spent on equipment, entertainment, food, decorations, and other things. Virtual money can also be earned by playing internal mini games. As it grows, Tamagotchi will slowly evolve into something else, depending on how it is treated. The beauty of My Tamagotchi Forever is certainly the pleasant aspect of the nice and friendly graphics, suitable for children. The app supports augmented reality and allows you to see Tamagotchi move and live virtually as if it were true.
The game mechanisms, however, are a bit disappointing, especially if you think of the little patience that a child can play.
The problem is the usual one of Free To Play games, where you can play for free unless you want everything immediately and you are not willing to wait for the counters to pass. So if you play a bit every day, then everything will be fine, but if you want to spend hours playing things get complicated and you have to pay. For example, the Tamagotchi has to sleep very often, so it will be necessary to wait every time he recovers energy after sleeping and during this wait nothing can be done except to close the game and reopen it after a few hours.
In addition to the sleep meter, as mentioned above, there is also a hunger meter, an entertainment meter and a time counter where you have to go to the bathroom. The hunger counter is filled by feeding Tamagotchi, being careful to give him his favorite food and not anything. The entertainment meter fills up by playing the included mini-games or simply stroking the digital pet.
Lastly, one must go to the bathroom for needs and to wash the Tamagotchi in the tub, lather it up and then rinse it.
Here the launching tailer of My Tamagotchi Forever
My Tamagotchi Forever is therefore a fun and nice game, suitable for children, but enjoyable for free only if you are patient and willing to play a little every day, without wasting too much time. As a game it is similar to other successful games on the Android and iPhone smartphone stores such as Pou and as My Talking Tom and the whole series).
Furthermore, being the Tamagotchi a cult of the 90s, even before the release of this My Tamagotchi Forever which is the official game, there were clones of all kinds, perhaps better in terms of mechanics and for the free-to-play model less expensive.
Some similar titles where to treat a virtual pet that are to be found in the Google Play Store and in the Apple Store are: Wildagotchi, Cthulhu Virtual Pet, Moy and My Boo .
