    Rarely have I consumed a platformer that quick and enjoyed my time as much as I did with Monster Boy. The steady increase of challenge duringRarely have I consumed a platformer that quick and enjoyed my time as much as I did with Monster Boy. The steady increase of challenge during the game, the clever riddles and required combinations of switching between the different Forms of the characters plays out really well. It gave me 24,5 hours of gameplay to finish it to 100% and I loved every second of it. Expand

    I don't remember the last time I picked up a game I knew nothing about and didn't put it down or supplement my time with other activitiesI don't remember the last time I picked up a game I knew nothing about and didn't put it down or supplement my time with other activities until it was done. Such a wonderfully styled game that has challenging puzzles, clues, hidden items, and upgrades to your weaponry is rarely found but you find it all here. It provides the right level of complexity in solving puzzles, the perfect balance of hunting collectibles and items without it overwhelming the rest of the game, and a great sense of achievement for defeating bosses and obtaining difficult treasures. Would highly recommend this to anyone that enjoys platformers with a classic feel. Expand

The story and characters are fun, the world is beautiful and the mechanics and new animal modes are fun, unique and keeps the game feeling fresh as you progress.

    We ended up liking this game so much that, together, we got all the achievements; so, we easily spent 30+ hours.
