When it comes to Metroidvanias, it doesn't get much better than animal well.

Unique atmosphere, fun puzzles, and a great sense of exploration is all throughout this game.

One thing I would have liked to see is some accessibility options for collectors in the endgame. Something that can tell you if there's eggs in a general area on the map would have been very nice, as it could very well remove the burden of looking around to no avail (since the map is fairly big).

With that being said though, this is a must-play and one of the biggest highlights of 2024.

arguably the best way to experience Kanto (basically competing with fire red). There's already so much bloat in the the Gen 1 games, and the GO style of catching simply speeds up the more tedious parts of a pokemon game that you're most likely done a million times over. Not to mention this is probably THE easiest way to complete a pokedex in a modern pokemon game. Great graphics that fit the pokemon world, albeit a bit basic (though that's better than a lot of what gamefreak puts out). I would recommend trying it out if you were hesitant the first time around.
