pet sim 99 looks a little overwhelming at first but its such a fun collect-a-thon once you settle in. my beginner tip: dont stress about chasing the huge and titanic pets right away, just hatch steadily, use the best-value egg you can afford, and jump into every event because they hand out great stuff for free. the enchants system is where it gets really deep and satisfying. yes theres luck and some spending pressure, so my kind advice is set yourself a comfy pace and enjoy the collecting for its own sake. so much game here and the events keep it feeling fresh
