This was my first Dragon Quest Monsters game, and it didn’t disappoint. I had a few issues with the game, like how the pacing at the beginning of the game is incredibly slow, or that you need the DLC if you want to take hours off of the time it takes to synthesize high rank monsters. That said, the characters were likeable, and I did love obtaining all of the different monsters in the game. How many other franchises have a collectible monster named “Crabble Dabble Do?” None, absolutely none.
