Cutie Puzzle Game 'A Monster's Expedition' Is Coming To Switch With New DLC

Everyone loves puzzles, especially when they're globally renowned, prize-winning puzzles — which is exactly what A Monster's Expedition is.

Developed by puzzle wizards Draknek & Friends (Cosmic Express, A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build, Sokobond) and including music from Eli Rainsberry (Wilmot's Warehouse) and writing from Pip Warr (of PC Gamer and Rock Paper Shotgun), A Monster's Expedition is all about a lil monster who's trying to explore a world by chopping down trees and turning them into bridges.

Sounds simple? Well, it is — but it's also exceptionally depthy, and you'll almost definitely be pulling out some hair by the time you get to the later levels.

Oh, but we mentioned awards, didn't we? Here are all the accolades that A Monster's Expedition has received:

• Finalist, Excellence in Design IGF 2021

Goodness, that's a lot of trophies. Perhaps the real puzzle is how to fit them all on the shelf.
