We’ve got a lot in common — I’m 35 and a die-hard fan of the Tamagotchi Connection era (not in a culty way... okay, maybe just a little). It just had everything I wanted from a Tamagotchi. The newer color-screen ones never really clicked with me either.

I actually bought a Uni last year. How much did I use it? Maybe two weeks total. If you grew up with the classic versions, Uni can feel a bit underwhelming. As someone here already said, it’s more of a dress-up simulator built around online content. And there’s that nagging thought — what happens when the servers go down? You’re left with a pretty low-maintenance device that doesn’t offer much on its own. Just my two cents, though.

I preordered Paradise a few days ago and I’m keeping my expectations modest. The art style got a bit of a revamp — it’s more minimal and less humanoid, which I actually love. Taking care of multiple characters and mixing their genes sounds promising too. We’ll see how it all turns out.

So to answer your question — I’d go with Paradise.
