If you're looking for a game that's not based around survival and is instead wrapped around the idea of having a unique system of communication in order to meet and make new friends, figure out the best places in the map to take a huge group to benefit from, and unlock some beautiful and snazzy skins for your animal characters in an aesthetic world, then this is for you.
Do you need to purchase additional content in order to gain certain additional animals? Yes, you do. But in all honesty, for such a low price for Meadow itself, I don't have many complaints. Unless you're a completionist and absolutely need the additional characters, it's no big deal unless you run into an obelisk that requires one of them, to which you could probably ask one of your group members to switch if they have it. (But if you want to get them, now would be the time when everything is on sale and SUPER cheap.)
The community is very friendly and welcoming. I don't regret buying this game at all as it's probably come to be one of my favorites. Literally - if you're feeling lonesome, open this game, join a well-populated server (mind the ping), and find other people in the map and they will almost always automatically welcome you by saying "Hi" and search for resources together.
TL;DR - Friendly community, beautiful atmosphere, and colorful characters.
