This game definitely has an incredible amount of charm to it, visually the spritework is fantastic and the graphical tricks they use are both impressive and plentiful. The charm alone definitely warrants giving the game a play imo. However, especially compared to the previous monster world games, this game is a bit of a downgrade in the gameplay department. The second half of the game has a few questionable level designs, the combat can be a little clunky and annoying, and the game is significantly more linear than the rest of the monster world series, with areas not even being able to be backtracked to grab all the collectables in. I'd still say give it a shot, but it's a rather cautious rec compared to the rest of the series, which is a tad bit disappointing considering the sheer charm in the game.
