Critic Reviews
GameSpew
By Kim SnaithYou’ll likely be done with Beasts of Maravilla Island in a couple of hours: it’s short and sweet. And while it might not be as good as the games we’ve compared it to, it’s still a pleasant and relaxing experience that we’ve enjoyed our time with. Some additional features – like photography grading – could have taken it to the next level, but as a budget release, we can’t complain too much.

ByThe inherent curiosity cultivated by both Marina and her grandfather for the unusual and diverse wildlife within Beasts of Maravilla Island, makes the several hours of game time a delight to experience. The various issues fail to detract too much from the overall enjoyment of discovering unusual creatures and documenting them all in Marina's inherited journal through photographs, and revealing the true nature of the island which serves as a reminder that humans have a duty to protect and conserve the world, rather than selfishly destroy it.
Gaming Professors
By Petra SvobodováBeasts of Maravilla Island is a little escape from everyday worries that lasts around two to three hours. Its shortcomings make it a slightly less memorable trip. The game is definitely not worth repeating, so I recommend you enjoy your first playthrough to the fullest. Despite the charming story here, there's still plenty of room for improvement.

By Alana DunitzA cute and colourful game that has unique creatures and flora for you to discover and take photos of. Perfect for a casual gamer who wants a laid-back experience where they can just snap pictures that they aren't judged on to fill a few hours.

By Lee MehrThe guided tour quickly becomes overbearing and the initial drive to document any magical wildlife never recovers.
