Cares games and usually enjoy the GameHouse time management games and get excited when a new one is released. I purchased this game as soon as it released as I like Amy and Jack's story.\nUnfortunately, I am quite disappointed in this instalment. I was a bit sceptical about making it a game of choices but thought it might turn out well. It seemed quite interesting that you could change the story how you like depending on what decisions you make.\nBUT having the choices be unchangeable and have an achievement tied to particular choices is ridiculous and is the main reason I have decided to write this review and not recommend it. I have gotten all of the achievements for the GameHouse games I have played, yes even the grindy achievements just so I've done it. I like to get 100%. This may be the first one I don't because I can't be bothered going back and doing everything on another profile. And yes, I know I only need that achievement on a different profile for it to count on Steam, I like having the picture complete on my main profile which I can't do now as I made one wrong choice early on because I didn't look up a guide. Also my Daily Challenges timer has bugged out and is showing 300-something hours until the next day so can't get that achievement either at the moment.\nThe characters and story were often grating. Amy's mother, Alice, is an awful character and super unlikable for the entire story, and the tension between Jack and Crystal seemed very superficial and forced.

I have played all of the Dr. Cares games and usually enjoy the GameHouse time management games and get excited when a new one is released. I purchased this game as soon as it released as I like Amy and Jack's story.

Unfortunately, I am quite disappointed in this instalment. I was a bit sceptical about making it a game of choices but thought it might turn out well. It seemed quite interesting that you could change the story how you like depending on what decisions you make.

BUT having the choices be unchangeable and have an achievement tied to particular choices is ridiculous and is the main reason I have decided to write this review and not recommend it. I have gotten all of the achievements for the GameHouse games I have played, yes even the grindy achievements just so I've done it. I like to get 100%. This may be the first one I don't because I can't be bothered going back and doing everything on another profile. And yes, I know I only need that achievement on a different profile for it to count on Steam, I like having the picture complete on my main profile which I can't do now as I made one wrong choice early on because I didn't look up a guide. Also my Daily Challenges timer has bugged out and is showing 300-something hours until the next day so can't get that achievement either at the moment.

The characters and story were often grating. Amy's mother, Alice, is an awful character and super unlikable for the entire story, and the tension between Jack and Crystal seemed very superficial and forced.

I continue to hate the 'adopting pets and taking care of them' mechanic that they continue to put in these games, and why do you keep taking out golden hearts?

I'll probably still play the next game that comes out but I really hope it's an improvement from this one which disappointed me in many ways.

I couldn't wait for new Dr. Cares game. And I wasn't disappointed when I finally finished it.

STORY:
\n- in few moments I wanted to hit some of these characters because of their behaviour (even my decision choices didn't really help for their stupidity...)
\n- after playing the game you will understand my sentence >>> "JUST LET HER TALK, ASK HER" (and this game would be 30 levels shorter)
\n- but even if story itself was irritating sometimes, I like the game. Some of the storylines were really interesting (but some where created just as a filler, I think)

PROS:
\n- a lot of minigames (I have a feeling it's even more than in previous game)
\n- special levels for diamonds where you have to just finish minigames for ~30s (which is great for minigames fans)
\n- Multiple endings (I think there are 3 in some cases) based on choices you will made in game

CONS:
\n- after finishing game, you can't change most of the decisions, so if you want to see other endings, you have to make another player profile in game
\n- Fufu achievement (50 House Calls) - I think it's too many of them, especially that you won't get ~15 after finishing game for the first time. If you want to get "full picture" (all achievements) on one profile, you have to play this over and over again (so you can get bored, even if you are huge fan of minigames like me). Good news - you can just get 1 star and then do something else so time will pass OR wait for "Daily challenge" that will be house call so you can beat 2 achievements at one time (Fufu - 50 house calls, Jimmy - 20 daily challenges)
\n- you might not get "full picture" in one profile, because Newton achievements is based on your decisions in the game

The third and last installment of Dr. Cares is the best out of the series. It's like they picked the best aspects from the previous two and mixed them together to create this.

Amy is living her best life with her family, new boyfriend, and successful job when suddenly her estranged mother shows up to take her on a new adventure. While she's helping a pregnant dolphin, Jack and the gang have to deal with an environmental crisis in Snuggford.

This time, the player can actually influence the course of the story by making several decisions which I find pretty cool. If only they had implemented the option to reset the progress at the end to play again so you could collect all achievements. The way it is though, you have to create a new account and start over entirely which is a shame.

The gameplay hasn't changed, it's still a simple time management game with various minigames you know the mechanics of if you've played Dr. Cares 1 and 2. They also brought back the adoption center and daily challenges.

As always, the heart of Dr. Cares are the cute animals and the engaging story that doesn't only focus on Amy but also Lisa, Crystal, and Jack get their moments of growth - if the player chooses right...

So I'd definitely recommend Family Practice!
\nI know the game's from 2018 and by now, it's unlikely to happen but I'd love to have another sequel in this series. It's just so charming.
