Meg's Monster is a surprisingly poignant game despite its shorter runtime.

There is much to enjoy about this game. The story, while some may find it cheesy, I found it consistently very touching. The gameplay is fun and creative with how you are rather monitoring Meg who is but a child during combat rather than actually slaying enemies. And, despite the previously mentioned shorter length and a linear narrative, the developers have crafted a compelling world with an interesting setting and an intriguing cast of characters.

The perspective that this game is presented through; the memories of Meg, I found especially nostalgic. As kids, many of us have gone on adventures, some that we hold dear, and others that fade away like a dream. This game feels like a crafted piece of someone's childhood, and so I navigated through this game with a surprising amount of care.
