Reviews

NEW GAME! has garnered a mixed to positive reception from both critics and audiences. On IMDb, the show holds a respectable rating of 7.2 out of 10. Critics from various sources have praised its charming portrayal of workplace dynamics and its relatable characters. For example, Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network highlighted the series' 'endearing characters and fun, light-hearted storytelling,' while emphasizing how it portrays the gaming industry's day-to-day life with 'an uplifting tone'. However, some reviews, like those from MyAnimeList, noted that while the show is enjoyable, it sometimes lacks depth. One user commented, 'Though itโ€™s charming, NEW GAME! doesnโ€™t dive deeply into its characters or plot, making it more of a comfort watch than a compelling drama.' Despite some criticisms, the series is often recommended for its humor and heartwarming moments, making it a favorite among fans of the slice-of-life genre. The combination of a strong female lead in a typically male-dominated industry, along with an ensemble of quirky coworkers, ensures that NEW GAME! leaves a lasting impression with its fun and easygoing narrative.
