first passable pokemon story but the region is still too linear and uninteresting

best pokemon ost but the engine is still slow as shit and the level curve is completely broken

quite possibly the slowest game engine in human history. unplayable compared to gen 3, and that's ignoring diamond and pearl which somehow manage to be even slower

phenomenal game but it's way too similar to botw. basically the same exact structure with the same overworld; ultrahand is really what makes it fresh and worthwhile

boss battles are easily better than any in the first two games but then there's all this tacked-on stuff that bogs the game down (motion controls rip)

retro said "hey people didn't like the backtracking in the first one so let's like double the amount of backtracking and make the bosses three times as long and boring as shit." other than that the atmosphere is good

backtracking... so much backtracking

fuck this evil, stupid, miserable behemoth of a game. seems fun and kid-friendly until you realize playing this shit is like reading ulysses. it never ends.

super hard and borderline unfair at times but it's still pretty good

gameplay and ost are so goddamn good but the dialogue makes me want to kms

one of the best games i have ever played but didn't finish. i never will because i get deathly ill from playing vr. still have the headset to use for like 10 minute intervals but any more than that makes me want to hurl
