Despite all it's flaws, Pokemon Legends Arceus is putting the franchise in the direction it should be. The gameplay loop is a load of fun, the story is one of the best we've got (despite not being that good but who cares, it's Pokémon) and there is SO MUCH content- I have around 60 hours of playtime and there's still post-game stuff to do that i'll have to come back later to wrap up. The best pokémon game in years.

(I would end the review there, but I just want to leave the note that releasing Scarlet And Violet so close to this game is a terrible decision. Even though Gamefreak is divided in various teams this game is way too big for just an 8 months break)
