Hello PlayStation Blog readers! We’re excited to bring you the news today that A Monster’s Expedition, the award-winning, open-world puzzle game, is available today for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. In A Monster’s Expedition, you’ll Play as an official Monster, explore an archipelago museum. Knock trees and solve puzzles to get from island to island, and explore the amusing Museum of Human Englandland, run by Monsterkind, who has only a vague understanding of humanity.
We’re excited to bring A Monster’s Expedition to PlayStation, especially after the warm reception we received with the release of Bonfire Peaks. The PlayStation versions contain all of the updates to date including our massive Museum Expansion Update and today’s new Hints Update.
The Hints update is designed to allow new players to enter the game with less pressure and stress about getting stuck, while making it easier for returning players to complete 100%. Players can access the settings menu to enable hints on where to go, how to tackle each island, and even how to find Friends, the game’s most difficult secret to uncover. The Hints system is fully customizable – turn it on as much or as little as you want and enjoy the game whichever way works best for you.
Our goal with suggestions is that they’ll push you toward a solution or confirm you’re on the right track, without denying you an “aha” moment when figuring out the details. We do this by showing you where you need to put the log to get to the next island – seeing the end state is often enough to work backwards and make the rest much simpler. And for Hidden Friends, the biggest challenge was just figuring out where to start the search – suggesting for those highlighting a few islands worthy of a second look, and identifying the rest. is up to you.
And of course, after the successful and well-received PS5 Activity Card integration in Bonfire Peaks, we knew we had to continue the trend with A Monster’s Expedition. Designing support for this feature in an open world game like this one was a challenging design endeavor, but we’re really excited about what we’ve achieved. While playing the game for the first time, the Card works in the form of a Progressive Guide – marking key checkpoints and helping you on your way to the end credits. After you reached the end of A Monster’s Expedition, there were still hours to play, and so we decided that upon completion, the Activity Card would be in the form of a complete checklist for 160 Expeditions. exhibition in the museum.
Incorporate Hint Updates, which can help guide you through the exhibits by presenting you with a guide to the individual puzzles and pointing out the locations of undiscovered exhibits, with the function an Activity Card checklist that tells you how close you are in each area of the game environment and provides the names of unexplored exhibits, the PS5 version of A Monster’s Expedition features a full set of features accessible features to provide a seamless post-game experience and easy to see all that the world has to offer.
We hope you’ve enjoyed your time with A Monster’s Expedition – this game is a joy to create and the culmination of over a decade of puzzle design expertise. Have fun and see why this game is so critically loved, whether you’re discovering it for the first time or playing it again after a while.
