Neopica

Neopica at a Glance

Neopica is a Belgian studio based in Ghent that has been active from 2012 through 2023. They have developed 14 games and published three titles during their time on PlayPile. The company operates across many platforms, with the Nintendo 3DS being the most common destination for their work with ten releases there. Their portfolio also includes versions for PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation consoles, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Google Stadia, and even older systems like the Wii and PlayStation 3. The majority of their output occurred in the 2010s when they released 12 games, while only two titles appeared in the 2020s before their operations shifted. Their genre focus leans heavily toward simulation, with nine simulator titles in their catalog. Adventure games form a secondary block with six entries, followed by smaller numbers of shooters, strategy games, sports titles, and single racing or quiz games. The quality of their work shows a clear pattern based on available data. Their average rating across three scored games sits at 53.3 out of 100. This score reflects a mix of results where only one game achieved a good rating between 60 and 79. Two titles fell into the mixed range of 40 to 59, and no games reached the great tier above 80. Recent releases highlight this fluctuation in quality. Overpass 2 launched in September 2023 with a solid 70 rating, which stands as their top-rated title on the site. The Hunting Simulator series shows a different trend. The original Hunting Simulator from 2017 scored 50, and its sequel released in 2020 dropped to a 40. Earlier titles like Pet Inn 3D and My Pets both came out in January 2016 but lack individual ratings in the current dataset. Neopica develops original games while also providing co-development, porting, and localization services for other partners. The studio officially became Nacon Studio Ghent in late November 2024 after joining the Nacon publishing group. Their catalog remains small with only fourteen titles total, suggesting a limited output compared to larger industry players.
