This is certainly a different Pokemon game. Exploring and catching Pokemon is the most enjoyable part of this game. The game was actually difficult, which is great after many previous Pokemon games being easier than normal. Having the setting basically be a Sinnoh origin story centered with Arceus is cool and the remixes of Diamond/Pearl's soundtrack were great.
BUT!! A lot of negative with this game
The region is bland and felt like someone slapped a terrain editor with very little notable landmarks. Graphics are straight grimer and the game should have been released a couple of years from now. The cutscenes and dialogue were unskippable, and therefore became such a slog to a story that isn't anything special. Along with a lengthy 1-hour tutorial expedition in the beginning. Finally, I personally found the UI management to be extremely clunky to go through.
If I need to catch Arceus, I will need to complete the main Pokedex, which should be fine on its own, but this full priced Pokemon games feels more unpolished than Sword/Shield were.

Great father-son adventure. Also a great sequel/reboot to the God of War franchise. Was worried at first if the game was gonna include too many cutscenes for its own good (in the likes of Uncharted and Last of Us, those weren't
my kind of games), but the world-building, combat, and side quests helped playing more.
The better story and character development became, the higher I was ranking this title. Only had beaten the main story, but will continue more side quests and Valkyrie missions as well.
Glad this was also ported to PC and looking forward to more potential PS4 titles in the future.

One of the most delightful games I have ever played. A love letter to classic collectathons, but still stands out on its own. Controls nearly perfect for exploration and platforming. The game is pretty short, but the PC version includes many mods and community levels to make the price more worth it.
