It's not reinventing the wheel, but Hole io offers at least offers a satisfying chomp-fest if you're looking for a laid-back gaming session. Think somewhere between Katamari Damacy and fishy feeding frenzies, but with a bit more variety in your dining options. You'll guide your ever-expanding vortex (forget fancy DLC skins, let's focus on munching) around a variety of worlds, swallowing everything from pedestrians and buildings to dinosaurs and pirate ships.

Solo mode pits you against AI rivals vying for the same tasty treats. Patience is key here – strategically position yourself to devour smaller holes and grow until you can safely chomp on the big dogs. The multiplayer option is also present, letting you compete with a friend to see who can swallow who first.

As you gulp down the world, you'll earn coins to unlock new chomping grounds. Each map boasts its own quirky scenery and menu of delicious destruction, keeping things fresh. This is where Hole io manages to shine… It's simple but entertaining, perfect for a quick fix of casual fun.

However, if you're expecting deep gameplay or mind-blowing innovation, you might be left with a rumbling emptiness. The constant DLC nudges, while less aggressive than some, feel off-putting in such a basic game. Granted, you may like a little more content but given the pretty limited options in the base game it feels gross.

So, is Hole io worth a nibble? If you're craving a casual, quirky chomp-fest with an optional side of multiplayer mayhem, it could be a tasty periodic snack. Just keep your expectations grounded and try to avoid the DLC nonsense.
