Pokémon Legends: Arceus Review

Played through it all weekend and I have to say this definitely is a 9/10 bc it was a lot of fun. This game just needed better graphics, multi-player interaction, and needs to bring back more complex battling for those that want it. Hopefully the next Switch and Game Freak can give us a better game.

The addition of side quests along with the other new mechanics is a nice refreshing feeling. It took a risk being different than running around fighting endless NPCs. I’m 25 hours in since release and I find I just love exploring and filling my Pokédex over the story sometimes.

I don’t feel it’s fair to blame the hardware for the look of the game, especially in the same breath as you mention BotW. I feel the look of the game is less a technical issue and more a failing of Game Freak from and artistic perspective.

The game’s performance struggles shouldn’t be blamed on “hardware limitations”. We should be able to call it what it really is without the sugarcoating. There are other games on this console that are more visually striking while offering much larger open worlds than what is on offer here and yet they run just fine.

I’ve been so nervous for this game. I’ve wanted it to be good and bring back the magic of Pokémon so badly. If anything, I hope this is the beginning of a new series of games so they can polish over the new formula. Red and Green were pretty rough when they came out but they did something novel. I hope this is something similar.

Great review! I feel like this gave me the look into this game that I needed to really understand what this entry to the series is all about.
