    MonsterBag is a charming experience that doesn't last long, but we think everyone should at least give it a try, particularly if they get it with the PS Plus subscription.

    MonsterBag‘s art style, presentation, and soundtrack are commendable. Its weird and eccentric world drew me in to the point where I attentively watched all of the un-skippable cut-scenes out of curiosity.

    This puzzle platformer starts great, then looses some of its momentum along the way. It's still a small, curious project, and it might be really worth a try.

    If you’re itching for an abstractly touching adventure game, spring for MonsterBag. There aren’t many other options for this genre on the Vita.

    Good ideas and a fun artistic approach for a game which is too short and, sometimes, a bit confusing.

    Monsterbag is an interesting experiment with a really nice presentation, superb art and adequate music. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same about the gameplay. Despite the creativity in some puzzles it feels repetitive, confusing and short. IguanaBee has a lot of potential, maybe in future games we will be greatly surprised.

    The high level of creativity on display in MonsterBag’s humour, art style and character is commendable. Sadly, the game is on the short side and offers little replay value to back it up.

    MonsterBag is a nice bit of light puzzles and charming slapstick, at least until the narrative drives it towards something more serious and mechanical that ups complexity and challenge, but almost feels like a different, less personable game.

    IguanaBee hit the nail on the head of creativity and capturing my attention with their unique character and world design. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the gameplay, which is unusually redundant for such a short game.

    As it stands, Monster Bag is an amazing cartoon if you can painstakingly make your way through the lesser parts.

    The graphics and animations are smooth and cute, but cute not means this game is for children. The T classification probably is because is a little gory in certain scenarios.
    The game-play is simple, but original. The first seconds i didn't understand what to do, and the game explained me what to do. that was enough for pass a lot of levels. Timing is the key.
    Is weird game, but original, cute, gory, and the most important thing: fun.
    I am waiting for this night for play again.

I can't really explain the story, because we just following little girl as a monster... yeah, that's not creepy at all. Anyway, I'm not gonna suggest bying it, but if you have PS PLUS, give it a try.… Full Review »
