The reimagined catching and hunting Pokémon is amazing, Truly dreamcometrue design, The crafting system is fine, The soundtrack is also great
The story is still more of a distraction than anything, The world feels sparse and empty
Arceus offers you a chance to play your childhood dream. It's not perfect but it offers something more engrossing and satisfying than anything else Pokémon has come up with...
Nostalgic experience, Easy to play for hours, Great plot
Disappointing graphics, Bad lag times, Occasionally unfair mechanics
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a great game, its visual shortcomings notwithstanding. While some of the turn-based mechanics can seem unfair, the game’s expansive world is simply joyful, filled with adorable creatures and exciting surprises to discover. Altho...

I am left feeling torn about Pokémon Legends: Arceus. On the one hand, its revamped systems are utterly revolutionary to the franchise. It sheds both stale battle mechanics and an outdated progression system that sorely needed a shake-up, and the new repl...

Flexible progression system lets you engage with the world of Pokemon in your own way, Large-scale Frenzy battles are the most thrilling Pokemon has been in years, Unique setting makes for interesting story hooks and character interactions
