The combination of music, simple but addicting gameplay and challenge makes the act of playing the game almost trance inducing.

If Death is this cool jazzy La Noire world, I'd skip the 4 stages of grief right to acceptance.
There was a long stretch of this game that was pure bliss. I didn't know my goal and I didn't care. I went from one island to the next solving every puzzle that came my way. I didn't worry about completionism– like finishing every island in a cluster before moving on– I just... roamed and enjoyed.
A Monster's Expedition is a puzzle game with a simple verbset and only a few ideas to work with, but part of the fun is discovering the details to these scarce gameplay objects, like how you can flip one log over another. It seems very inspired by Stephen's Sausage Roll, which is right up my alley.
I've not completed all the bonus puzzles so we'll see if my opinion on this game changes but it's an incredibly solid puzzle experience.

Incredibly well designed. Each island a puzzle, the ocean a natural boundary. Puzzles existing in a shared world lends itself nicely to the more difficult/hidden puzzles. So many interesting interactions and mechanics, all taught effortlessly. Pretty aesthetics, soundscapes, and calming atmosphere.
