Pokémon Legends: Arceus - Nintendo Switch

This is the best Pokemon game to date. Buy it.

I like this game the game is open world and can be very fun it is frustrating a bit but is very good

Great game so far... gameplay is very cool As well, great game overall I hope.

The gameplay was created by a genius, the story not so much. The dialogue is boring and overbearing, especially in the beginning but the gameplay was very good. All in all, Gamefreak’s second game is pretty good!

While it is a new take on the tired Pokémon formula that continues to print money for Nintendo, every aspect of the game feels rushed, unbalanced or incomplete. Boss fights are terrible and have nothing to do with your Pokémon or battling anymore. The game engine bears no resemblance to Breath of the Wild and its an insult to compare them. This game has huge draw distance problems that are shameful in a AAA title like this, especially since Nintendo proved it could be done with BotW. You literally cant see features and details you need to see. Buying inventory slots one at a time at increasingly outrageous prices? No thanks. Pokémon that can sweep your entire party and then suck when you capture them? Pass, major balance problem there. Control and button problems make you waste pokeballs, go to the wrong screens and make navigation a chore. No north indicator on screen, are you kidding me? So many sloppy and questionable design decisions make this game almost as frustrating to play as it is fun, and that is inexcusable. If youre a die hard fan, give it a go, but its sad to think of how great this game could have been.

Old school pokemon boomer here - my friends and I are absolutely in looooove with this game. I hope they keep this style of gameplay and start adding on top!

Great story, awesome graphics, free roam, and gameplay is amazing! Definitely recommend this Pokémon game!

This game is a blast and provides a unique experience for long time pokemon fans like myself while also doing the same for newcomers. I am interested to see where Game Freak takes this formula in the future as there is so much potential going forward. Well worth the purchase.

Ot feels like a rough draft more than a final product i like the direction it’s headed but they pushed out the game with gritty graphics, glitchy world and Pokémon, and the eviroment draw distance is not long despite its simple art form not expecting skyrim level of graphics but i so expect it to run smoothly with the simple graphics it has its 2022 not 2008

First of all, music is lacking. Has overtones while in “open world” but not really music. Very minimalist tunes. Second, it isn’t open world. Similar to Snap it’ll take you to locations with own regional Pokémon. Fights are different but fun. Finally, can move around as trainer, even take hits (but no dmg). Bosses always seem to strike first, speed stat, and if you choose heavy style, poorly, you’ll get hit multiple times. So the new mechanics are interesting. They took a chance in a different direction and it works. It feels like a prototype of what’s to come for the future titles. For sure don’t miss out on. It is challenging but not as difficult as a “Souls” or “Monster Hunter” game, most people seem to be comparing. Something too strong can just level grind like normally like a normal Pokémon game. Felt like I wasn’t being rushed to complete which allowed me to spend more time into this world.
