There's nothing I can say about this game that hasn't already been said 1000 times over. So I'm not even going to try, it's easily the best game of 2023 and one of the best games of all time. It will forever be remembered as a pinnacle of gaming made with an unmatched amount of love and passion that is visible in every last aspect of this masterpiece. Games like this are why I'm studying game design, games like this are why people love video games so much, games like this are the reason people create. Thank you everyone who worked on this phenomenal game, I'm gonna go play my fifth playthrough now.

This is the gaming equavilent to a pig trouph. A bunch of leftovers and scraps from better, more successful games mindlessly mashed into a bin and fed to gamers who'll gobble up any AI generated, plagarised piece of slop as long as they're "sticking it to Game Freak". I promise you, Game Freak doesn't care about this game now and they especially won't care about it in a month when the hype has died down and it dissapears off the face of the internet. As an aspiring game designer, who starts study this year it's incredibly disheartening to see such a low effort game get so popular and be met with so much success. What's the point in even trying if this passionless and creatively bankrupt game is all it takes for great success. Go support indie devs that actually put passion and effort into their games, go play Nexomon, or Monster Sanctuary, or Monster Crown, or Coromon, or Cassette Beasts, or any of the other hundreds of indie games that actually deserve your money.
