Meg's Monster

Meg’s Monster is an emotional journey with a lot of depth, a twisty narrative, and some great character moments. I loved spending time with Meg, Roy, and Golan. Combat isn’t very challenging but still generates tension. I actually wished that the game offered more to do because I wanted more time in its universe, even if I think it’s perfectly paced to deliver its payload of feelings. Some fans of the role-playing genre might be disappointed with the relatively thin mechanics. Others might find some situations a little manipulative. Every player should give this game a try, regardless of whether they have a connection to its genre or not. Meg’s Monster is a perfect example of how video games can be great vehicles for stories because of their interactivity.

Meg’s Monster’s succinctness might put off traditionalists accustomed to role-playing epics. But give the game a shot, and you’ll likely find more laughter, tension, and sentiment than in most forty-hour journeys.

An adventure with a classic JRPG-style combat and visual under the royal-road theme of 'a girl and monsters'. While the story can be seen as somewhat shallow and short compared to the developer's previous works, its emotional OST and compact storytelling with adequate visual have the power to pull the heartstrings.
