    Here Be Monsters is one of the best games that i have found on Facebook to play. There is different quests and achievements to keep you going. You also get to visit different parts of the world too. Ive found the game to be challenging, and fun to play.

    Really fun and entertaining game full of cuteness and numerous quests. Fun for all ages. My main frustrations in the game are costume parts that become a part of your backpack when you change outfits and you can't dispose of them in any way even if you never wear them again.

    Amazing non-violent adventure game. Travel the world, collecting, trapping, fishing and completing quests, craft, cook, farm....and so much more. The developers keep the game interesting and fresh with regular updates and new content. I have been playing for about 2 years and look forward to logging in every day.

    This game is amazing! First,you don't need any Facebook friends to play it,because it has its own community! Second,the quest and the gameplay are really addicting,and the story is intriguing. Also,it's kids friendly and they can learn a lot about geography and flora and fauna. If you're looking a game that will keep you occupied for hours/days -this is it!

This HBM community is one of the best parts of the game, and you can help out on the wiki too! I love the whole magical/mystical ethos of the game and traveling around the world helps out with geography too! Although I have spent a small amount of real cash (in the frequent sales) on the game you can progress and play without ever having to spend anything. The graphics are so beautiful too! Play it, and love it!… Expand

    THE best free game you can play! I love that you forage for food or can cook your own to continue game play, unlike a lot of other games which make you wait for more energy before you can play! Sure, some of the crafting takes time, but there is always ALWAYS something to do! I love this game. *happy sigh*

    I like to play this game and talk to my friends but i hate when they make changes or update without telling us. I also do not like how things were for coin then change to Bank notes it takes the fun out of the game. I know you guys need to make money but can you not do it in different ways?

Love the game and the ability to see the "world" while gathering items necessary for crafting things. The drawback seems to be with each update things were taken away and items cost more bank notes which require real money and the coins you gather for the most part are useless. It would be nicer to see the devs to not "force" a player to use real money to progress in the game; that reminds me of Zynga! The new chat is absolutely useless. I still enjoy playing the game and all it offers but now I refuse to use my real money, prior to the Oct update I regularly spent money on bank notes....the last time I bought bank notes was black Friday,the day after Thanksgiving. I think with the most recent update they've severely overpriced the items and people will just do without or stop playing cause they feel cheated and are unwilling to use real money.… Expand

You can literally travel all over the world, meet in-game friends and do quests. When you start the game, you find out that you are a Trapper who go around trapping animals who have been affected by corruption. You can help them get back to their original self. You can cook, craft, farm, trap, fish, what would you want more? You get to cook up different recipes to make better bait or to complete chef quests. You also can craft bigger and better traps. When you meet friends in-game, you can actually add them and talk to them which is really amazing. This way you don't have to harass your Facebook friends! The ONLY downside is the space in my backpack. You can easily max out on the items you get. But the best of all, Here Be Monsters loves talking with its fans which is a great plus! When a game actually listens to their fans and fixes things for them, you know you got a true winner. Go try it out today, you won't regret it!… Expand

    The gameplay is thoroughly repetitive and uninspired, but this undemanding approach does allow you to enter a sort of Zen-like state of relaxation, while still feeling like you are completing quests and achieving something. For most however, there is very little in the way of an actual game on offer here.

    What little game there is here is pretty enjoyable, but Here Be Monsters HD is a lot less than the sum of its potential parts.
