    A Monster's Expedition is a game I spend a lot of time thinking about. It's funny and charming and simple, except when it isn't simple, and it's not very simple, except that the rules are. It also has one of my favorite "meta-puzzle" implementations to date.

    I still strongly recommend A Monster's Expedition. Far and above my favorite Draknek game. The writing is charming and the puzzles are incredibly creative.

    A Monster's Expedition by @draknek.bsky.social is 5 years old today! It's a block-pushing game about a monster rolling logs around to explore a massive open-world archipelago with hidden paths!

    A Monster's Expedition excellent puzzle game with a relaxing atmosphere, it has so many cute little details, the way it introduced new interactions between elements was always unexpected and very fun, it was an absolute delight to play from start to finish. i nearly cried at the end

    Lately Everhood has been our game we keep recommending... Rabi-Ribi is great too! And Wandersong. If you like puzzlers, Room To Grow and A Monster's Expedition are great! Baba Is You too of course. If you like RPGs, you could always try Library of Ruina......

    16. A Monster's Expedition is a sokoban-style puzzle game where you push trees to access museum exhibits of human relics in a monster world. Chill soundtrack, introspective resting spots, secret friends, and hidden/sprawling meta-puzzles. Easily the least frustrated I've ever been in a puzzle game

    Picked up A Monster's Expedition (Through Puzzling Exhibitions) on iPhone this week (on sale for 30% off). It's a great, chill, puzzle game. Perfect for mobile, but it's on other platforms too. Strong recommend if you at all enjoy games where you push stuff around to solve puzzles.

    You can have a story just with Lore trickled around, "a Monster's Expedition Through Puzzling Exhibitions", "Steven Sausage Roll" You can have a game that is MORE Story than gameplay. Any visual novel, walking sim. You can't have a game be "Go here, okay now here, use this there.." "Okay why?"

    Tiling Town is a cute little puzzle game not unlike A Monster's Expedition and other sokoban games, but with more of a Pipe Mania lean. It's neat! Proper head scratcher in places, but encourages leaving things that are tricky and coming back later with new knowledge.

    Unfortunately i think thats not a very known issue (especially if you didn't followed him on twitter at the time) but yeah, it sucks so much and i never reopened the witness again after learning his bullshits too. On the bright side, kudos to Draknek and A Monster's Expedition, really good game

    New definition: if a game has a metacritic score, it's just not a hidden gem, sorry. You need 4 reviews to get there, it's impossible for most games. For example, it took like a full year and a switch release for A Monster's Expedition to get there!!

    A Monster's Expedition is a cute spatial puzzle game (like moving blocks) that starts out simple but gets brain melting hard. The rewards for progress are bits of clever dry humor presented as museum exhibit writeups.

    If you want a game that does ever-expanding puzzles but in a way that feels less intimidating, did you ever play A Monster's Expedition. I think it does that idea very very well.

    Question for games folk who know about Apple Arcade contracts: why did removal from Arcade also pull the non-Arcade game from App Store? Is this an exclusivity deal? Seemed to also happen with @draknek.bsky.social 's A Monster's Expedition, but it's back on the App Store now (but not Arcade)
