9/10 Visuals: Adorable creations, some based on familar JRPG monsters, others easily fitting in with Pokemon (and not in a crappy fan art way) A blend of photos and digital art makes for an adorable atmosphere.
Audio

19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The secret unlockable artbook and soundtrack are a great addition, and I'd love more games to do this.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I hope more monsters get added over time, this gameplay is something I really enjoy but don't usually find to this quality.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A Book of Beasts and Buddies can be completed within an hour and is a very laid-back and original experience offering adorable cartoon characters, fun interactions, charmingly quirky dialogue and narration and a good dollop of humour.
