Asha's 2021 return to Monster World is a loving, if conservative, remake. Its strength lies in its tight platforming, a vibrant world, and the endearing interactions with Asha's Pepelogoo companion. Combat is simple but satisfying, and the environments, though familiar, are meticulously crafted and full of secrets. While it doesn't reinvent the wheel, its focus on accessible gameplay and charming presentation makes for a consistently enjoyable experience.
