It has a consistent audiovisual look, some spooky bits, and a lot to look through.

I had a good time, and the good time that I was having didn’t get in the way of the story.

I had a pretty nice time.

As a man walking around on a body made out of meat, driven to action only by occasional electrical activity, I don’t actually authoritatively know what I’m after, and if a giant corporation wants to hand me a treat as aesthetically and mechanically delicious as Animal Crossing: New Horizons and say “behold, this is what you’re after”, then who am I to tell it “no”?

The absolute pinnacle of SNES games and an extremely solid foundation to build your franchise on.

I’m glad that Mr. Kryukov has my $1.50, and I’ll probably buy the next thing he makes, too, because it is clear that this was made with a vision in mind.

I badly want to like this game, but it is just so badly executed and poorly conceived at every possible juncture.

As it stands, sure, I’ll play this, but I’ve never played any game that made me condone stealing from video game corporations more than this one.

I don’t recommend this game, but I also understand that its place in the modern video game industry is not to be fun—it’s to be the reason why all the good Street Fighters have numbers after their names.

It’s one of the most memorable experiences I’ve had in a video game and I really don’t think it’s one that anyone should skip out on.

I find it difficult to come up with even the most minor way in which it’s better than just… playing an actual Pokémon game.

I do obviously recommend this game to anyone who’s a fan of any of the things that it’s about, because it’s perfectly executed and supremely well put together. Just don’t ask me to tell you which of these games is which in a few months’ time.

I had fun, and for a game as simplistic and accessibility-oriented as this series, I think that’s the high-water mark of success. Just… do yourself a favour and don’t venture out into the big, wide world. There’s nothing but misery there for you.
