This blew me away in terms of its quality for a Pokemon ROM hack. Here's a quick pros and cons break down.

Pros:
-Remarkable story that utilizes fan theories as its basis. I don't want to spoil anything, so I won't elaborate.
-Well-written dialogue and tone that establishes its gangster attitude and mature themes without relying on excessive vulgarity and gore (like other ROM hacks).
-Stealing system is really fun and encourages you to use a variety of Pokemon instead of your go-to favorites.
-Fair difficulty curve that doesn't force you to grind, but keeps your Pokemon on equal footing with your opponents.
-Adds fairy type and level up evolutions for trade evolution pokemon.

Cons:
-Morality system was a half-baked idea. It either limits or rewards you, but there are so many ways to game the system and no long-term consequences. I recommend just going full evil mode.
-I personally had a few crashes in battles. No major data losses since I saved a lot, but keep that in mind.
-Little to do in post-game due to lack of Pokedex or new trainers. You can catch the legendaries you couldn't get in the story and then you've done just about everything.

I hope this review answers some questions and encourages you to play it. I highly recommend going in blind. If you're a Pokemon fan like me, you'll throughly enjoy Pokemon FireRed: Rocket Edition!

To be fair, The Witness stands on the shoulder of giants in the 3D explorative puzzle genre, yet it manages to fall flat in comparison to the likes of Myst (1993!), The Room series, The Talos Principle, among many others. The puzzles feel like something I'd play on my phone while waiting at the doctor's office, almost nonsensically strewn together. The environment is pleasant and I'm sure there is some deeper meaning somewhere, but the lackluster gameplay forced me to quit early. My advice: go play The Looker, a parody of the Witness; or better yet, play Myst. You'll have more fun sorting through Myst's 10 floppy disks than any puzzle in this game.
