“존1나 개 쩜. This is Very Good. 도트에 몽환적인 매트로베니아게임인데 게임이 가면갈수록 빠져든다. 나처럼 귀찮은거 싫어하는 사람도 c 8 내가 이거 몇시간이나 붙잡고 했는지 모르겠음. 밤에 플레이 하면 존1나 쩐다. 존1나 개쩐다. 맵에 숨겨진것도 많고, 보이는것도 환상적임. 도트로 이렇게 아름답게 만들어놓은건 정말 오래간만이다. 적극추천함”

“The new leader to beat in its sector, we're talking pure ecstasy.”
10/10 – Destructoid

“I'm astonished by it. Astonished by the ease with which it presents its ideas, the joy these ideas bring, and the sheer range of magical stuff it includes, all clipped together in such a satisfying manner. And fittingly, for a game about wells, I am astonished by how deep it all goes.”
10/10 – Eurogamer

“Animal Well redefines the Metroidvania genre”
10/10 – Noisy Pixel
