Monster Sanctuary Review

Developed by Moi Rai Games and published by Team 17 in December 2020, Monster Sanctuary is a creature collector 2D platformer RPG that a friend of mine was so enthusiastic upon playing that he bought a copy for all of his favorite people for Christmas in 2021 - rather rare for a single player game.
