This game is amazing. There are so many things that make it so incredibly unique and so beautiful to play.
I stumbled across Shelter one day and began playing it. Although I've only played it a few times, I found the art style enchanting and the story sorrowful but beautiful. When I discovered there was a Shelter 2 in which you could be a lynx, I was very happy. I must say I enjoyed this game more, due to the fact that it's more like WolfQuest in the way that it's free roam.
So, naturally, I HAD to buy Meadow, and it's honestly, for me, the best game out of the entire series. There is a point to the game, but it's not nearly as deep as the others--there are no cubs for you to worry about keeping alive, there are no dangers. Just fun with strangers. You have to communicate with people through actions and emoticons because there is no text or voice chat, which is honestly one of its' winning features. People in Meadow are unusually friendly and polite--and maybe this is because they have no chat, or because this game draws a certain type of gamer.
Usually in each playthrough I make one good friend, and we will dart through the world of Meadow, alternating finding flowers/crystals/obelisks and just playing around and having a good time. When it's time to log off, I'm sad, but happy at the same time that Meadow allowed me to have this amazing brief friendship that makes me feel happy.
This game is extraordinary, one of my favorites ever. I love it. The music, the graphics, and the people all come together to make this game truly memorable.
Also, it's cheap, so why not.
