The city in Styling Star lacks a certain je ne sais quoi but these girls more than make up for it. I stay behind the scenes and work my magic to make everyone else look good while getting my paper.Īll of the storylines and much-improved personalities, even from ancillary characters, combine to make a world that is just interesting to be in. Instead, I’m the Kate Young, the Elizabeth Stewart, the Ilaria Urbinati. In the other games that would have been me on that stage or in that ad. I get to see the girls take the stage to sing or pose for an advertising campaign. In past games, customers say the outfit or shirt or skirt I picked for them really impressed so-and-so, but in Styling Star I get to see it in action. Because of my constant interactions with the girls, I actually come to know and care about them. It’s on my shoulders to make sure they have the right look to move forward. Some want to be singers – belting out fully voiced feel-good tunes that sound like they’re straight off the streets of Disney’s California Adventure – while others want to open their own clubs. There are multiple girls here with multiple goals that nearly all revolve around music. Okay, so it’s not Phantom Thread or anything, but it’s certainly on par with a good episode of Jane By Design. It’s like playing a Hallmark Christmas movie, something that is particularly true of this entry and its focus on storytelling. I get that won’t appeal to many people, but there is something comforting and wholesome about a game where my only aim is to make people happy. The only thing easier than picking out the right top and matching earrings is working the salon or beautician’s shop, where no matter what I do I never seem to be able to disappoint anyone. Style Savvy isn’t a shop simulator meant to test my business skills and fortitude, but rather a life sim where I make people happy through the magic of fashion. Even when I do send someone home unsatisfied, they’ll always be ready to give me a second chance the next day.ĭifficulty has never been this series’ forte. It’s nearly impossible to fail a customer in this game. Customers are patient with me and if I’m out of something they want they’ll agree to come back later when it’s in stock. Most of the fashion is recycled from previous games, including a lot of ugly stuff, but the new digs allow for cute and creative outfits. This is where I find all the brands available and load up on skirts, shoes and whatever else I’m low on. If I’m ever out of supplies, a quick trip to the Exhibition Hall will fix that.
