Minimon is an online and offline monster catching game inspired by Pokemon, and it could turn out to be a good one.
About the game

Features
- Customize your own monster hunter with tons of clothes, weapons and skills!
- More than 300 different monsters to train!
- Play either offline single player, local multiplayer via split-screen or online with up to 500 players per server!
- Tons of quests, secrets, and unlockable stuff!
Here's what didn't sit quite right with me:
UPDATE: It seems the guy claiming they are a developer isn't. So the real developer is doing a bit of damage control, shame that developers have to put up with this.
My thoughts
A user on the Steam forum claimed they were a developer, and gave the game a serious review making it out to be the best game ever made, and stated it had zero cons. After contacting the real developer, it was edited, and the real developer has cleared up the situation.
Even though it wasn't the real developer, here's a small note: Unless you're going to review your own game with something funny like "the amount of bugs keep me awake at night, I know, I made the game!", then just don't.
You can check out Minimon on Steam. I do long for a decent monster capture game on PC. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

But the dev's review is just one review. If I'm not sure about the game. I just wait until a dozen or more reviews appear, it's not uncommon that a game has 100% positives out of 1-2 first reviews and then goes to 50% after more people give their opinion. So in my opinion it's good to write an article about a new game, share one's first impressions, give some opinion, but to center the article around the fact that a dev left the first review? Not really.

As pointed out, the guy isn't even a developer, he's nothing to do with it other than doing a little bit of testing before release.
Yes, reviews do tend to level out after a few, but that's not the point.
We always point out when people do shady/stupid things, we always have, and always will. These are my first impressions, the first impression I got was someone claiming they are a developer writing up a completely bogus review.

@Liamdawe: Could you change the title, people who don't bother to read the article may get the wrong idea.
I like the real dev :-)
QuoteIf wanted to just get some money I would have made a kickstarter asking for 1 million dollars and then deliver a turd here, complete with 50 DLC packs, and then I would already have shilled the game with 100 fake reviews.
I like the real dev :-)

PR guy of Minimon here (real one, I promise!). I'm here to hopefully clear the mess up once and for all.
I'm really sorry about the confusion caused by the overly enthusiastic fan that for some reason considered himself being part of the dev team. Even I'm not part of the development team as the game is made by Sergio Florés alone, aside from us occasional freelancers.
The person who claimed to be "Lead Level Designer" was an enthusiastic fan and the developer asked if he would like to do some community managing on Steam and then there were some talks about him PERHAPS helping out with level designing at some point. The developer prefers to design the levels himself though so no serious discussion about that was made yet.
To this day, the fan has not done anything other than provide feedback of the beta version and contributed in spreading lies about the game's features and claiming to be a developer. As far as I know, he is no longer doing community management. At least I hope not.
