    Darker Pokémon-likes are always enticing and I really wanted to enjoy Monster Crown: Sin Eater. The game’s lack of direction, poor difficulty curve and bland monsters mean I didn’t find this game as engaging as I’d like. The nail in the coffin, really, is that after a couple of hours of steamrolling this game, I found myself yearning for Cassette Beasts instead.

    Monster Crown: Sin Eater's lack of direction and often demanding difficulty won't be for everyone. But if you can embrace the grind, there are some deeply addictive RPG systems at work here, backed by a shockingly mature and engaging story.
