A Monster's Expedition Reviews

It's a good game.

Everything we do, we do for the snowmans

Puzzle delicioso. O jogo estilo Sokoban definitivo

The humor is honestly pretty lame and feels almost forcefully quirky, but the gameplay and sense of progress are absolutely fantastic, and the devs really push a simple concept beyond its perceived limits. Really, really great game. Still need to 100% it, but the post game is tough. I love it.

I'm a sucker for a good puzzle game that explains the mechanics through the puzzles themselves. This is one of those games. Some puzzles I ended up brute forcing and then had to work backwards to figure out why a solution worked. Sometimes, this is when it was trying to teach me a new quirk of the mechanics I never considered, or it was a case where I was just overthinking. Generally, though, I was able to use my expanding understanding to solve things intuitively. And the game generally does a great job telegraphing the intended goal of each island, which helped a lot. I also like when a puzzle game isn't level-based or when it feels like a cohesive game space, which this does by the nature of it being open world. I never felt too frustrated with the puzzles because of how calm and relaxing the vibes were. The way this game strings you along island to island was really well done and got me interested in uncovering more and more of the map. This is one of those games that sucked me in, playing every day until I rolled credits. The biggest downside for me was the underlying story and theming, which, although cute, were mostly uninteresting.
