Were the developers just too lazy to take it out? Maybe. It's just confusing as to why it's still a mechanic in the game. Now I'm certainly not complaining that there aren't microtransactions, especially as the PS4 version retails for $5.99, when you can get the same thing for 99 cents on mobile. If you were playing on mobile, this is where the "in-app" purchases would come in that allow you to buy more hints to skip the tedious wait times, yet the option isn't here in the PS4 version even though you can buy hints in other Doodle games on consoles such as Doodle Devil. This timer is initially set at twenty seconds, but goes up all the way to two minutes in the game's final stages. However, the hint feature has a timer, meaning you have to wait for the next clue if the current one is no use. To alleviate this, you can press triangle to get a hint, which will show you two categories of objects in which there is at least one possible correct combination. While this isn't too bad early on in the game, once you have dozens of elements to choose from, getting your next item unlocked in Doodle God can start to feel more like work than play. The problem with these breaks in logic is that you frequently become stuck and just end up spamming random combinations until you find one that pays off. Things get progressively more difficult the more elements you discover Did you know that combining an egg with earth makes a dinosaur? Or that a fish mixed with knowledge makes an octopus? Me neither, but according to Doodle God, that's how it works. While some pairings make sense (for example, paper + a feather = a book), others can seem either a stretch of the imagination or even nonsensical. There's a feeling of satisfaction when you figure out certain combinations, whether through your own smarts or via some basic knowledge of the sciences. Gameplay-wise, it's very basic but Doodle God's central hook is addictive enough that it spurs you on to uncover more and more of its items. The game ends when you unlock all of the 200-plus discoverable elements through its four stages of evolution - but the more things you create, the harder it gets to find the right combinations. To do this, you are given four initial elements: air, earth, fire and water, which you must combine to make more elements. You are god, and you must create the universe and everything in it. □ Each successful combination rewards you with a quoteĭoodle God tasks you with an immense assignment via a very simple gameplay mechanic. │ Our reviewers are discouraged from reading other reviews before writing theirs in order to avoid contributing to an echo chamber.
