Review summary

Reviewers overwhelmingly praise Peridot for its cute, diverse pets and calming breeding-based gameplay, with strong emotional attachment. However, a dominant concern is the announced shutdown and the lack of clear communication, plus the desire for an offline mode. Age-rating inconsistencies and login problems also hinder access for some players. Overall sentiment is affectionate but anxious about continuity and future access.

Pros

Adorable, diverse Peridots with a unique breeding system.
Relaxing, peaceful gameplay that's non-competitive.
Strong emotional appeal and suitability for players who can't have real pets.
Long-term engagement and attachment to their pets.

Cons

Shutdown/closure fear - many reviews express sadness and concern about the game ending.
Desire for an offline/off-server version so players can continue without a live server.
Age-rating contradictions and login/account issues making the game inaccessible for some players.

I LOVE peridot please don’t close it down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please don’t delete peridot I love the game so much I spend 1year playing it so please don’t delete peridot.

I only downloaded it in the wake of the shutdown. I wish I had more time with my Dot. I love this game; I wish I’d have discovered it sooner. It’s so cute.

It is spreading on Facebook that you all are shutting down peridot game just to let you know a lot of us enjoy our pets and breeding our dots. Why would you do that without contacting us instead of doing updates ⁉️😔💔 A lot of us who been plays the peridot game a lot please don’t shut it down and take this away from us … Please reply and let us if this is true or not !?!?🤷🏻‍♀️

This is the best virtual pet I’ve ever had extremely sad there shutting down soon #save the peridots

As someone who cannot have a pet in person, this game was perfect. Now they are closing this game. Please don’t make us lose our dots, for some of us we had these for emotional support. If there is anyway for it to be converted into an offline version, it would mean a lot to the community..

Will miss this so very much. Truly loved playing this with my family. Why can’t they leave this as an off server app. Animal Crossing Pocket Camp left it for us to use without it being linked to a server. Please please do the same things. Don’t want to lose my Dots that I worked so hard on.

It’s a fantasy game! For people who can’t have a pet in the real world. I recently discovered peridot. I guess it’s not popular like pikmin, non of my friends have played it nor heard about it! I found it with endless possibilities of creating your very unique pets! It is quite amazing! I fell in love with only few days of playing. There’s no other pet games in comparison. Unlike other games where you are struggling to get into “battling”& fights! You get peace and tranquility! Our world needs this game for people that need emotional bonding and a little happiness. Tremendous shock to see it is shutting down in May! Wish magic would happen and see peridot once again!! Thanks for opening my eyes to amazing AI creations! Well done! Ps. This name is a little hard to relate to a pet game.

This game is so fun the Peridots are adorable! I love this game! If you are looking for a fun game to play download this game! And also please don’t get rid of this game on may please don’t it’s a great game! Please don’t remove it😿

This is one my favorite games! I really love how unique every dot is. I get so attached to my dots as they are so cute and it really feels like I have my own little friend next to me.🐾 The breeding system is very cool and unique and I’m obsessed with all the dots u can get! I’ve always dreamed of having my own little creature and this is the closest I can imagine. I love all the unique personalitiesss! I’m very sad this game is leaving and I’m going to miss my dots sooo muchhh😭 But on the bright side I’m exited to see what’s next to come for the peridot franchise!!🥹❤️❤️
