What it does best
Inventive puzzles that make every monster matter
A pastel monster world with an instantly recognizable look
Silly, warm-hearted humor with genuine personality
What might put you off
Finicky controls and slow backtracking
Repetitive obstacle-puzzle structure
The setup
What you are walking into
As so many of these things do, it all begins on a magical island. In this case, Gogapoe Island, a place populated by both humans and monsters. What starts out as a mission to get back Niko's birthday cake becomes a quest for the fate of Gogapoe itself. But, ya know, cake is still super important, too! Oodles of friendly monsters will join Niko's quest and use their kooky powers to help him explore the island, solve puzzles, demolish obstacles, and just generally humiliate enemies. Hordes of evil monsters will cause mayhem and generally be jerkfaces, but that's nothing you can't fix with headbutts, frost breath, stink clouds and rainbow barf.
