    Monster Prom was already one of the best dating simulators out there. And since this XXL version includes the Second Term DLC, which features bonus characters and tonnes of extra events, it’s better than ever. If you’re looking for some crude, ridiculous fun then look no further. While Monster Prom XXL might feel like it’s working against you sometimes, getting rejected and having to try again is just part of the fun.

    Monster Prom: XXL may seem pretty strange, but it’s precisely this strangeness that elevates it to greatness. It was clearly designed with multiplayer in mind, as this mode stands as the strongest experience in the game. Even in single-player though, Monster Prom is sure to capture you with its quick wit and charming art style. There’s a lot to love here, and I hope that there’s a place in your heart for that special monster.

    Some will find Monster Prom: XXL rubs them the wrong way – the outcome of the game often feels quite random – but it's about the journey and sharing its eccentricity with your friends. It doesn't rival the Jackbox series, but it captures a similar and very welcome vibe which could turn it into a monster hit.

    While the gameplay gets repetitive after a while, Monster Prom XXL has unique characters, a fun art style, and interesting twists for the dating sim genre.

    Monster Prom XXL is a fun and creative dating sim, a kind of game that's not very common on the Nintendo Switch catalogue. With plenty of content to unlock, the included DLC, the large amount of possible game endings and humour, Monster Prom XXL is not the most in-depth experience available and feels rather drab when played solo but as a multiplayer experience, this is a good and funny alternative to many games out there.

    A hilarious dating simulator great to play in company but also funny for a single player. Don't expect romantic depth with your possible dates, just spend an afternoon laughing.

    In a way, the shallow nature of play, the points system and the short run time make me think Monster Prom XXL would be better suited as a hyper-casual board game brought out on a Friday night, but in its current incarnation, this finned, furry student falls far short of a passing grade.

It gets seriouslyLoads of fun single player but with the arrival on Switch the game has become even more of a blast on multiplayer. It gets seriously competitive sometimes, and often its hard to keep the room quiet when I'm playing this with friends. Expand

    Monster Prom XXL is not quite clever in its humor and it all seems quite forced for the sake of absurdity.
