The game is a big mess, but everyone knows that already. For me the only truely fun part of the game was discovering the new Pokemon & also the difficulty at times. Other than that, the game has great ideas but the execution is either "ok" or just doesn't work.
My thoughts:
(+ = (mostly) positive; - = (mostly) negative)
+- Gameplay;
The gameplay at times is pretty addicting. Looking at every corner to find something new. Only to realise after a while the game doesn't really reward you for doing so. You either find a regular item or a gimmighoul. Finding koroks in botw for example was way more fun to do.
The different areas didn't do much and especially the snow mountain was super disappointing. Usually the snow areas are my favorite, but in this game it's just nothing, like really really nothing.
The battles were hard at times, which I enjoyed. I also liked that you could """"choose """" your own path. There wasn't really much to choose, because the game pretty much forces you to choose a different path when Pokemon are suddenly a much higher level than yours. I have to admit the variation in missions and such was a nice attempt. Has potential to become something great.
+ Music;
The music is very nice like every Pokémon game. Only this time it didn't have as many bangers compared to previous games. When you get to end game, the music gets a lot better imo.
-- Graphics;
Don't even think I've to explain myself here. You can count the frames, random pop-ins, lighting is horrible, textures are arse, areas like the snow mountain and desert are just empty. But can't blame them, they're a indie studio after all.
+- Story/Characters;
I'm a bit mixed about the story. The start was super slow, which made me lose interest in the story really fast. But the further i got into the game, the more "interesting" it got (for a Pokémon game). The main characters were more involved than in any other Pokémon game before I feel like and that's a good thing.
Recommend?
Only if you like Pokémon. Otherwise there are plenty of other open world games who can give you a better experience.
