Calculester told me that leaving a good review is appreciated.
How could I even resist a request of them.
Fantastic game! Definitely buy it if you loved the first one.

Girlfriend and I went after the co-op date ending as sort of a romantic goof. Ended up being a really emotional conversation that demonstrated our compatibility and bond as a couple. Great date night. 10/10.

god im so lonely

im gay

An absolute blast. Everything is turned up higher than the first game - pop culture references, sexual innuendo (or outright thirst), shock humor, social commentary, side character usage, and overall quality. A short list of my personal pros and cons:

CONS
1. Some of the aforementioned social commentary is EXTREMELY heavy-handed and blatant, to the point where the joke becomes awkward. I'm not saying you shouldn't take shots at world economics or politics or anything like that, but when you can barely go one full rotation in a 4-player game without an evil Capitalist caricature popping up and reminding you he's trying to bulldoze Camp Spooky, his character loses the sharp wit and charm it initially held.

2. Holy ♥♥♥♥ is it long. I cannot overstate that this game will be something you should sit down and set aside time to play (at least if you like to read the lines aloud, which is how me and my friends play) - a four-player FULL game says it should take about 200 minutes (a bit over 3 hours) but my first FULL game took nearly four, and that's with us rushing towards the end. This isn't a bad thing intrinsically, but some of the jokes or scenes go on too long or could simply be condensed for ease; some of them, however, really benefit from being longer. Just come in expecting to sit down and enjoy, not to quick play a round.

PROS:

1. God, the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ jokes, you know? Amazing. So many of them hit it out of the park that my friends and I, who I was initially a bit anxious about bringing to play with me, had to regularly stop to giggle at particular jokes or characters. And on the topic of jokes, there're even settings to filter out some problematic content if some things put you off (like drug/alcohol references, references to the first game, etc)! If you're up to it, however, I'd recommend trying all of the content the game has to offer; there's nothing like some of the out-of-left-field humor this game can bring.

2. Aaravi is a main RO. That's literally it. That's worth buying this game for.

3. The new Campfire/Drinking mechanics are well implemented and fun. By the time we finished, things were an absolute beautiful mess when it came to our stats, our romances, all of it.

4. Nothing is sacred when it comes to content. I don't want to spoil anything... but just be aware, things can get surprisingly chaotic. Be wild. Take risks. You'll love it.

5. The art has improved! Not that the first game's art was BAD, of course, but the style remains distinct and lovable while also being refined and given a fresh coat of color. Every character looks good, every venue is memorable, and the overview map of camp is pleasant to look at.

6. All the new characters! There are oh-so-many! So very many of them are fun and memorable and show up frequently but not overbearingly so (except one Mr. P, who I firmly believe has TOO many events with his intrusion)! They are funny, they have flair, and they'll keep you interested in when - or if - they'll come back!

7. New ROs! Milo is a blast. Still doesn't outshine my adoration for certain other options, but they've got their own unique niche and don't fade into the sideline at all. I'm quite fond of them, in fact, and their writing is snappy enough that I'll certainly be looking to them for future playthroughs. Hex, Aaravi's new shoulder-warmer, is also phenomenal - they are a wonderful addition to an already well-made and fun-to-interact-with character, and their interactions made me genuinely smile both at how cute AND horrid they could be to eachother.

8. Final one, and this is less about the game, and more about the Devs. I was a somewhat higher-tiered backer for Monster Camp, and all through development, they've been very inclusive and willing to talk about the ideas both they and other backers had for the game. In the end, Monster Camp is a labor of love from a passionate community from all over the world, whose main uniting factor is being horny for fictional monsters. You can tell that Beautiful Glitch put their heart and soul into Monster Camp, and that they sincerely hope it succeeds - not just to get that paper, but to see their vision fulfilled and their fans rewarded. I'm already on the edge of my seat for whatever they work on next, because I know it'll be good.

So, that all covered... Why are you still reading this?! Go buy it! You'll love it, I promise - and if you need friends to play with, I'm sure myself or someone else out in that vastness that is the Internet would be happy to join you. <4

EDIT: After seeing the comment from Beautiful Glitch, and having spoken a bit in the MonsterProm Discord, I'd like to rescind my initial complaint that some NPCs 'show up too much' - there's actually a game mechanic which promotes storyline consistency where if you see an NPC once they are more likely to show up again, which, while I wasn't fond of the one in my initial complaint, is an overall great idea and a positive addition to the game. Rock on, Beautiful Glitch!

I like to smash monsters, it's got romance and silly ♥♥♥♥ in it. 10/10 Wish we could smash our friends though, that would be cute. Giving your friend a good monster mash kinda smash. If you love dating sims and ridiculousness, I recommend it. Also you get to Smash monsters.
