Pokémon Legends: Arceus - Nintendo Switch

It was great just catching the Pokémon and not getting into unnecessary trainer battles. The open world direction was a good move for Game Freak

So happy that the pre-orders got delivered on the actual release date. Been waiting for this game ever since it was announced! The bonus gifts were a nice add on as well. Use your game code for a Garchomp kimono set and then download another one via internet only for a Growlithe kimono set!

Bought for my son. He enjoyed the game.

Held out on buying this until 2023 after S/V reviews came out. Definitely a refreshing take on what a pokemon game could be like, hope we see more like it.

Not GameFreaks best but its a step in the right direction. Giving it 4 stars because of how bad the game can look at times. Like when you can see white pixels outlining your chatacter in dark places. Oh, and the frame drops. Other than that its fine. A little more tedious when it comes to grinding than previous pokemon games, but I mean thats pretty subjective. Make sure to check the mystery gift downloads for your bonuses, in case you missed out on em

Its like Zelda but with pokemon

Ive been waiting for a Pokémon game like this since I was kid. Its probably the most fun Ive had playing Pokémon since Emerald. Im about 10+ hours into the game barely even scratched the surface and its amazing. Now the game is alot different than the normal main series games it has new mechanics and features which make it a whole new experience. Dont listen to the people complaining about graphics there not that bad in fact I think they look fine for the type of game it is pkus graphics arent everything(have no clue when thats all people care about now). If youre a true Pokémon fan I would definitely buy this game and give it a try.

Just buy it. Its so good. If you, or the person youre getting this for, are even remotely interested in Pokémon, this is the game. Legends Arceus debuts brand new mechanic and gameplay not seen before in Pokémon, and its great. This is truly the most adventurous Pokémon game to date. Missions are set forth but players can choose how to accomplish them or they can adventure on their own if they please. You can battle wild Pokémon, catch them outright without battling, hunt for shinies and alphas, collect items, fulfill side quests, or train your own Pokémon. The variety of things to do boarders alongside Zelda Breath of the wilds capacity. I really did not expect to enjoy this game as much as I have, Ive literally been glued to it since its release. Are there flaws and room for improvement? Of course there are. Am I happy Pokémon and Game freak went in this direction? Absolutely. I hope they continue this series for many more games to come, I am really enjoying this new format. I honestly havent enjoyed a Pokémon game this much since Pokémon Colosseum which was released almost 2 decades ago. Its refreshing to see that the Pokémon franchise is not afraid to try a new and bold formula for their games.

This a really good game if you are looking for something new, it def caught me off guard with just how different this is to the other Pokémon, i was told dlcs will be coming out so I can’t wait to see what this game has in store but I def recommend this to people who love a sorta of open world with still sticking to some of its roots.

This one feels better than Sw/Sh and Sun/Moon, but thats due to the content itself. Would be great with more animations as some Pokémon could use em, especially during certain attacks/etc.
