-DISCLAIMER- This is a long review so don't bother reading unless you want a lot of information about this game.


Tired of dying and respawning and dying? Tired of those trolls online? Hackers? Come play Meadow, it's sure to calm you down.

Meadow is one of those games that you can play for hours without screaming at the screen.
From the creators of the Shelter franchise comes Meadow, a game that...isn't really a game.
As they put it, it is a forum in disguise and that's exactly what they've made it into. Just look at the pictures and video to get an understanding because they give you what they show you, unlike many things on the market.

As a side note that i'll explain later, extra animals can be unlocked via owning other games which I do own.

You start off being given a badger to play as, an adorable creature. You roam around a land trying to find flowers and food which you run over and will be given "essance". Collecting this essance works like experience, the more you collect the more you unlock. Over time as youre essence rises you'll be given puzzle pieces, which can also be found in the wild, which slowly unlocks emotes, skins and other animals. After you collect enough puzzle pieces you'll be able to play as a frog, and then a rabbit, and so on.

When I started I had no idea what I was doing, I was running around when I found a fox who spoke in emoji's that I somehow understood and followed him around leveling up together. This is how the game works. It seems confusing at first but suddenly you are able to understand this "language" and this "game" and it can be quite enjoyable. My 4 hours have been completed in 2 sessions because I am able to play for a couple of hours at a time without becomming bored. You can make massive groups in the 50 person servers, I made a 36 person group in one which we all roamed the world following an eagle. The world you are placed in is absoloutely beautiful. To the wet swamps, the massive crystal caves, to the hidden waterfalls, to the vast wastelands, the world is beautiful.
The music adds upon this to give such a calming time.

I have seen people in the "negative reviews" comment on the fact that you have to buy the other games to unlock animals. This is not the case at all. There are 4 animals that you can be if you own the seperate games. These are not a "YOU MUST BUY OUR GAMES" these are "Here are some rewards if you do own our games :)". Simply, there are 4 animals from games and 8 from not owning these games. These 4 do not add anything THAT special. There's an adult badger, a larger version of the first animal you play as and slightly faster. There is an adult lynx, quite fast but that's it, if i'm correct you can still unlock the baby lynx. There's a baby bear, honestly one of the cutest things i've seen but nothing that makes it a massive advantage. Finally, there is an eagle. This eagle is there to view the beautiful world. As the eagle you cannot pick up items so you cannot level up faster as the eagle, you can still unlock the white eagle by being in the top 100 of essance collectors but you dont need the eagle for the full experience. Actually, you don't need to own any of these 4 animals for the full experience because I've hardly played as the 3 of these that I do have because I enjoy the ones you're given for free much more.

Overall, if you're in a bad mood or just want to feel good, play Meadow. It's cheap, but offers so much for this price tag. A beautiful world, great music, amazing people and community, and such cute creatures. "When you remove the ability to hate, the world becomes a remarkably different place." -Bayrock and honestly that is so true. You cannot hate in this game, you cannot troll. This is a game that I suggest playing late at night, when the day is over.

Buy this game. Load it up. Spawn in. Find a pack/Make a pack. Run around. Level up together. Explore. Be amazed. Click the crying and waving emoji. Say your goodbyes to your friends. Disconnect.

Throughout this game I have made many friends and lost them already. It's surprising how many friends you can make without speaking a word.

There isn't much else to say about this game other than BUY IT. IT'S SO CHEAP AND SO CALMING.
