Critic Reviews
Cubed3
By Luke HemmingTiny Bookshop is faultless in its execution and a title that is really surprising in how enjoyable and addictive it is. Fun for a quick pick-up-and-play and also to while away the hours as the nights draw in. With a strong sense of community and a feeling of real purpose in your place within the little village of Bookstonbury-by-the-Sea (still a terrible name), this is sure to be a bestseller.
Pure Nintendo
By Rachel PoliIf you're looking for the ultimate cozy game, Tiny Bookshop is definitely one to check out. It's slow-paced, but has wonderful visual aesthetics and easy-to-manage gameplay mechanics.
Pizza Fria
By Carlos Humberto Maestre DutraTiny Bookshop delivers on its promise: being a cozy game about routine, community, and the joy of recommending books.
MonsterVine
By Amy EastlandOverall, Tiny Bookshop was absolute perfection, and everything I could have hoped for as someone who loves books as much as I do. It had such a gentle atmosphere and was very stress-free to play. I’d love to see some DLC released for this title or a follow-up.
Minimap
By Cassie KnightEven with some of its pacing issues, I enjoyed most of my time with Tiny Bookshop. If you’re a book lover like me, I do think it’s worth checking out. With some small tweaks and a bit more variety in the book selection, I think this could improve quite a bit.
