When I went through a phase of buying puzzle books, I always enjoyed the spot the difference puzzles and counted them as one of my favourite puzzles to do. Now these have been brought to digital format in the form of Cute Capybaras.

The Cute "Insert animal" series is a collection of games that allows you to spot the difference between a series of ten pictures featuring cute animals in various poses, some of them in their natural habitats and some in more bizarre situations like driving a truck!

Each picture is timed and awards you a gold, silver, or bronze award depending on how quick you find all ten differences. Earning a gold award also gives you an achievement, but the picture differences never change so you can repeat the scene again and try to remember where they were which should earn you a gold eventually.

There are a plethora of spot the difference games on Steam but this series is not an easy spot the difference game like the Viki Spotter series, it is aimed more towards adults. The differences can be very subtle and can include minute differences in the grass or in scenery which I always find difficult to find. There are obvious differences mixed in with the more difficult ones too and the scenes always fit on the screen so pictures are easy to compare.

I enjoy these series of games. There is one for dogs which I have played and a few with cute cats in also if you would prefer, but they always have nice scenes and who doesn't want to look at a cute animal? Sometimes, the differences can be of physical attributes of the animal, like it might be missing an ear or a leg, but no animals were actually harmed in the making of this game.

There are some basic options like windowed mode or full screen, and you can have the music on or off, or even just have the sound of Capybaras playing in the background. I believe that the theme tune is the same tune I played in the Cute Dogs game if I remember, so perhaps a different tune for each game would be nice.

There's not much more to say. The game lasts around forty minutes if you aim for gold awards and there is one hidden achievement which you will need a guide for, but one is available. If you are looking for a cutesy spot the difference game with a bit of difficulty at a very reasonable price then look no further.
