Praise first, then complaints.
Example reviewLooks great
Recommended8 hours playedEnglishDesktop MATE is an absolute delight and easily one of the most charming additions you can bring to your PC. It runs flawlessly in the background with virtually no impact on performance, yet adds so much personality to your desktop that you quickly wonder how you ever worked without it. The customization options are genuinely fun to explore, letting you tailor your MATE’s look, animations, and behavior in a way that feels playful rather than technical. Animations are smooth, sounds are subtle, and the overall polish makes the experience feel premium. What really sets Desktop MATE apart is how uplifting it is—whether you’re gaming, working, or just browsing, having your little companion hanging out on the screen adds a warm, lively vibe that never becomes intrusive. With consistent updates and developers who clearly care about the community, Desktop MATE stands out as a joyful, well‑crafted, and surprisingly addictive desktop companion that’s absolutely worth picking up.

Steam’s top-ranked review for and against it in these 7 days, in English. Votes as they stood when this map was made.
The free version really only offers alarms for what i can see after usage, but it is honestly what i need right now. Looking into the DLC for when I get a chance to purchase one as it as been pretty helpful for my brain forgetting things.
you have to be very passionate about a character and at least a little bit stupid to spend 15+ dollars for a tiny version of said character that does nothing of note and probably just makes your computer run a little worse. I am, in fact, passionate and stupid, but I strongly advice against it.
